We don’t get too much snow in Seattle, but it sure is nice when we do. We’ve really enjoyed it over the last few days, and if the weatherman is right, there’s more on the way! Here’s a few photos we took around our neighborhood…

We feel so lucky to have been able to photograph a wedding for a couple like Jaclyn & Lance. We first met these two shortly before they got engaged, when Lance was checking out our church as he contemplated becoming the new junior high pastor. Much to the delight of youth and volunteers alike he accepted, and brought his lovely bride-to-be Jaclyn along. We absolutely love these two, and so does everyone at Timberlake Church! They are passionate about serving and helping others, not only through Lance’s work with the youth and Jaclyn’s pursuit of a MA in Counseling, but also as a natural result of their enthusiasm for life and love for the Lord.
Jaclyn & Lance were married at Puyallup Foursquare Church, and with the help of their amazing friends and family, they brought in trees decorated with strings of lights and hanging lanterns in order to recreate the scene of their proposal. Then the reception hall was completely transformed using DIY draping & canopies, a cute Mr. & Mrs. sign, cake pops, candles, more lights, more lanterns and umbrellas for the tables. Everything was beautifully personalized, and we had fun capturing every single detail!
Jaclyn, you were SUCH a stunning bride, and Lance- your awe for your bride was so adorable. We loved every moment we spent with you–from your first look (Best first look reaction EVER!) to chilly portraits at the park, from your Christ-centered ceremony to your cake smashing and crazy dancing at the reception, to the meaningful visit you had with your Nana at the hospital–your day was full of everything that a wedding AND a marriage should be and we feel so fortunate to have shared in it with you.

I’m pretty sure that the Hamptons has a magical effect on just about everyone who visits. From the moment Gerald & I first set eyes upon the easternmost point of Long Island, we began making plans to come back. So it was quite fortuitous that just one year later, we were invited back to photograph Megan and Stephen’s wedding in Montauk & Amagansett, NY.
We couldn’t have been more thrilled to be working with Megan & Stephen – from the outset, they told us that they loved out natural, candid style and wanted us to capture the essence of the Hamptons and what it means to them as a place of inspiration and weekend retreat from their busy Manhattan lives. With this in mind, we began by capturing Megan getting ready at their home, then we headed to the First Presbyterian Church of Amagansett for their ceremony. Afterwards, we headed to one of their favorite places, Atlantic Ave. Beach for their family and couple portraits (which are stunning!), then we all made our way out to the Montauk Yacht Club & Resort for their reception.
The entire weekend was full of fun and laughter (just wait till you see the “napkinheads” and the Tyrone Smith Revue), and family from all over the country came to share in the occasion. Jill Gordon and her team did a wonderful job coordinating Megan & Stephen’s day, and I couldn’t have imagined a more perfect celebration for them.
Megan & Stephen, thank you for entrusting us with your memories and for being the kind, generous people that you are. We thoroughly enjoyed working with you and hope to see you the next time we are in the Hamptons. In the meantime, enjoy your photos!
