Ronnie + Arsh {Vancouver, BC Baby}!

Heather — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 08:58:02 +0000

Anywhere in the North West is going to be freakin’ beautiful. That’s a fact! And the further North you go, the more beautiful it gets. We don’t get a chance to go up into Canada that much, but when we do we are always blown away by how beautiful it is. This time we met up with Ronnie + Arsh in the Gaslamp District of Downtown Vancouver. This place is super amazing. We definitely want to go back and explore a bit when we have some more time. We usually get lost when we go by ourselves, so it was great getting to cruise around with some locals

Lauren + Brandn {without an O} Engaged

Heather — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 02:30:01 +0000

Boom Baby! Love Lauren + Brandn! We had such a great time hanging out and scrambling to avoiding the parking lot security guard who considered us a great threat. It was like a giant game of hide and seek while taking pictures, hiding from the mall cop and his little white cart… sort of an add shot of adrenaline! Super fun.

It was the first time that I had met Lauren + Brandn, but Heather and Lauren were in the same “Brownie” troop a long time ago. They kept talking about stories from their troop and Heather reminisced about how she tried to start a revolution {at age 7} and get people to quit all at once in response to their huge jerk of a troop leader. She got girls to agree to it but ended up being the only one that quit, haha, Stick it to the man Heather! Brandn and I kept looking at each other and shaking our heads. Way to include us ladies…

Super Duper light at the end of the day…

Laura + Hugo {Fullerton, CA}

Heather — Wed, 06 Jul 2011 08:00:07 +0000

Laura + Hugo are homies. That is a fact. Also, they are some of the most fun people around. We met Laura + Hugo at another couple’s wedding that we happened to be shooting last year. Then the next week we strolled into Paper Source and she was working there. It was fate! We talked for a bit and found out that she was engaged. Duh… were photographers and you are getting married, so let’s get together and take some awesome pictures. So we did and here they are!

We made a quick stop off at 7 Eleven. Slurpees and Bubble Tape Baby!

Pretty Good… Losing it… Lost it!

The Natural…

You guys are our homies too!

Stephanie + Justin vs. Big Bad Spring

Heather — Sun, 29 May 2011 08:00:17 +0000

Being Spring here in WA, it is a little difficult to find a day that works with everyone’s schedules (Stephanie + Justin’s and the weathers). We got rained out the first time, but luckily this time there were no rain drops. Both Stephanie + Justin work for Boeing as Super Geniuses (I think that is their official titles!) and met in college at Purdue. Thanks for keeping us safe in the air guys!

Sean + Sara {engaged!}

Heather — Sun, 15 May 2011 20:00:26 +0000

MY BEST FRIEND IS GETTING MARRIIEEDDDDD!!!!! This is my best friend Sara and her ever so awesome fiance Sean. I’ve known Sara since I was 17 and we’ve been “BFF” since, haha. I am so overly happy for them and can’t even explain how much joy this couple brings me. Sara was my maid of honor in my wedding and I’ll be hers when she gets married on June 10th. I obviously can’t shoot the wedding so we did an engagement shoot and it turned out SO GOOD!!! It would obviously turn out good with a couple that looks like this!

So them.. they both work at Oakley and met there, he’d leave “notes” on her desk all the time. I heard all about him since the beginning so it’s amazing to see them getting married now. Sean is BY FAR the best guy she’s ever been with and you can just see how much he loves her, it’s great. I’m so dang happy they found each other and can’t wait until their wedding!

I have this post going out the day I fly back to CA to throw Sara’s bridal shower so she can see the photos at her shower. Woo hooooo!!!

On a random side note.. I’ve always felt like Sara is a person from a movie. You know how in movies people get themselves in these situations that you think would never happen to anyone in real life? Well Sara always seemed to get herself into those situations. Case in point: When Sara was in college living in the dorms she went on a date with “this jewish kid” because she felt bad or something..she had no desire to be there.. then he was dropping her off and she had to run to the door because she was going to puke {why? I’m not sure}, but the door was locked! So she ran farther and puked in the bushes………..what??? hahahaha. That is the kind of stuff that happened to Sara all the time, minus the puking in the bushes. I feel like she was constantly telling me stories that would NEVER happen to anyone in real life, but they did… Anyway, enjoy! Love you Sara!!!!

and now for the good pictures…. :]

2002 babyyyyy!!!! The years of little kid t-shirt wearing, matching haircuts, never bathing and an over abundance of piercings and bracelets.

There’s thousands of newer pictures… but oldies are goodies!

ok this one isn’t that old {2009?}, but it’s awesome….. Hot Pants kick ball team was undefeated!!!!

Rick + Nicole {engaged and awesome!!}

Heather — Thu, 05 May 2011 15:57:14 +0000

Well we thought it was going to rain, but the clouds were good to us today! We’re shooting Rick and Nicole’s wedding NEXT July {that’s right, 2012} so they are way ahead of the game. We were pretty excited about this shoot because it’s only our 2nd ever Washington engagement shoot, and the first couple was from CA so it almost didn’t count!

So we were all worried about it raining but it worked out great!! In between shoots they bought us fudge AND a funnel cake so I was good to go… nothing makes me happier than buying me chocolate and deep fried… whatever funnel cake is.

Grayson was ducking down in the flowers about 100 feet away and he looked like a panther about to attack. We were secretly making fun of him the whole time.

I love these shots. Rick claimed these shots “made him tired”…. he said it was physically hard to lay there, haha

Rick ran to the car {which was really far away} to get this umbrella so we used it like crazy.

Umbrella juggling!

and then there was Pennington. This dog was awesome, and people LOVED him. Some old lady literally plowed me over to get to him and talk about how cute he is and smush his face. Holy smokes..

Mitch + Lindsay {Seattle, WA}

Heather — Fri, 15 Apr 2011 08:38:14 +0000

We’ve broken the silence!!!! Our break is officially over! It was nice but honestly, we got a little antsy not shooting that long. Maybe 4 months was too long, next year it will be shorter for all our sakes. Thanks for being patient with the blog and still coming back to see what was new. It was nice seeing that we still had so many visitors even thought we were mostly just posting personal photos and random tid-bits. Although those are a big part of our blog too. Tomorrow we fly to Vegas for our first wedding of the year.. then another 2 weeks off THEN it officially starts! We have 6 weddings in May alone, yikes! We’re pretty excited about this weekend, there’s something about the first wedding of the year that just gets us happy. We have a pretty awesome year coming up. We really limited the amount of traveling we took this year because last year was a little nuts and we really want to explore the state we live in more. So we’ll be going to DC, New York, Pennsylvania, Detroit, a lot of California and a whole lot of Washington… I may be forgetting some places, but you’ll see!

So anyway, you met Mitch and Lindsay in the post below… them and their awesome animal instincts. We had so much stinkin fun shooting these two, it was our first shoot of the year so I was nervous!! But as soon as we met them we knew it would be a good one. They had these 2 cats {whose names I can’t remember! Fischer cat?} One was cross eyed {so freakin cute} and one only had 3 legs! WHATTTT!!! Way to take in the most awesome cats known to man. Now I’m not a cat person, I’m a dog person all the way, but these were some cute kitties {and so soft!}. So we played around in their cute apartment for a bit. She showed me her tooth cemetery… it was awesome. I was so intrigued, haha. She had some good photo books too from one of my favorite photographers {Mary Ellen Mark}.

After that we headed out to Georgetown to giant boots and a giant hat…. how could we not? So…. on it goes!! Let the shoots begin!

Oh, and let me first start by saying that the 3 legged cat and I? Yes… we were in love. I thought he was going to make out with me.

We asked for a new mask and the one she chose was hilarious.. we couldn’t stop laughing at it.

the tooth cemetery

First.. I’m a sucker for anything yellow, and second, I’m a HUGE sucker for balloons.. they knew the way to my heart.

I love these next 3…

Giant hat? Yes please.

We’re going to blow this up and hang it in our house…. I love this one.

After this shoot we headed over to IKEA… my favorite store in the world. We just got into our new house so we bought some random things including a red cactus. Someday soon we’ll post some photos of the new place, it’s so cute! We’re in the middle of painting every wall in our path. It’s going to be one brightly colored house!

everyone wears a mask… {animal style!}

Heather — Sat, 09 Apr 2011 16:18:36 +0000

We have heard people say that everyone wears a mask… but we have come to see that some people wear them for different reasons.

Mitch and Lindsay, thanks for being who you are… we like you. Can’t wait to bust those masks out again with the formal attire!

Brandon + Brittany {Enaged!!! Yorba Linda, CA}

Heather — Tue, 15 Feb 2011 08:09:08 +0000

Brandon and Brittany!!!!!!! We LOVEEEDDDD shooting these two! I’ve know Brandon since I was 16 or 17, back then he was “Gootie” we spent most my late teen age years with our weirdly large group of close friends hanging out at parks late at night {and actually being good}, going to shows every weekend and eating free crackers and ranch at Denny’s at 2am. Brandon was this shaggy, thrift store shopping, guitar player, much like the rest of us {minus the guitar playing, I only went through a small/ridiculous phase of thinking I could play the drums. I was terrible}. Then he met Brittany and we were all amazed at how stinkin pretty this girl was and still is. Good job Brandon!!! Now 8 YEARS LATER they’re getting marrrieeddddd!!! I was overly excited when they asked us to shoot their wedding!

Not only is it going to be a good time and half, but they are an adorable couple.

They are the epitome of those couples that claim they are bad in front of the camera. They, especially Brandon, were NERVOUS central but did so good! We got a million awesome photos of them because they were so easy to shoot. That’s why there are so many, we couldn’t narrow it down. We can’t wait to shoot their wedding!!!!!! I love when friends get married and we get to shoot it :]

I think this photo was in 2002 or 2003

Brandon and Brittany had just started dating in this photo, our Thanksgiving party 2002! I’m the idiot in the middle ripping off my jaw.

Random side story: my favorite Brandon moment. First I must preface this story by saying the he was one of those really sweet, quiet guys who didn’t say much but when he did it was hilarious. One night, like many other nights, we were all piled in Lindsey’s car {Garfunkle} with the bench seating.. the most glorious car known to man. He was quiet all night, then we we’re driving by a random car and Brandon sticks his entire body out the window and YELLS… {more like shrieks} “DO YOU WANNA DANCE!!??!?!?” at the car next to us. It made no sense but we couldn’t stop laughing. Maybe this was only funny to a car full of 16-18 year olds… probably.

They were so confused when we were getting this shot, I had to show it to them to make sense.

What the rainbow?!?!?!

We always seem to make people stand on unsteady things and catch them falling off, haha. We were all cracking up.

normally I try to avoid putting to really similar images on, but we loved them both and I couldn’t decide!

I often find myself having to straddle people to get a shot…..

To get this picture I was on Gray’s shoulders and doing a one armed pull up off the wood while Gray helped push me up by my butt…. haha, that’s dedication!

This is one of my favorite images of the day, it’s just so stinkin sweet the way he’s holding her hand!!

Tracy + Justin- engaged {Pasadena, CA}

Heather — Tue, 28 Dec 2010 08:27:35 +0000

We shot Tracy and Justin on the last day of our shooting weekend of crazy awesomeness. We had 4 shoots in 3 days, boom babyyyyy! We try to maximize our time when we’re down in sunny California, and maximize we did! I’m pretty sure the awesome fact that they brought their own hammock with home made pillows and bows made our day. It doesn’t get much better than naps in the park in mine and Grayson’s book. We normally get some crazy looks when we set up an entire bed in under a big tree at parks, as we often do…. but you know everyone is just wishing they were doing the same thing!

But first we got some breakfast since we shot in the morning in Pasadena {breakfast is our favorite meal of the day, can’t miss it!}. Pasadena is one of those cities that’s quickly growing on us, every time we shoot there we leave more surprised by how awesome this place is! So enjoy the photos and you’ll be seeing more of these two when we shoot their wedding next year!

can’t beat a good swing session.

This is one of my favorite shots of the day.

Tract sent me this the other day and I thought it was so stinkin cute. Their friend Lori did the design for them. I love these kind of save the dates.. Nothing fancy, just cute and home made.
