C + T // West Seattle
Christine and Tim decided to use their adorable West Seattle home for their engagement session. While their cats remained mostly stealth during our time, Christine’s laughter and Tim’s jovial spirit filled the house. Style wise they said they compromised at times while decorating their place, and then even created a new paint color by mixing two tones together.
When I asked if they had a moment when they knew it was "game on" with the other, when they knew they had found "the one", they both took a minute to think. Tim said that for him it was when he realized that the house they had bought was only home because Christine was there. It wasn't the things in it, or the location- it was her. And isn't that just what love is all about?
B + G // Pike Place Market
Brittany and Gerrit share a love of music. "He told me that my hair looked like Karen O's," Brittany told me while recalling when they first met. (Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs happened to be one of her favorite artists.) He writes live show reviews and she takes photos for KEXP. When it came time to decide a location for our portrait session Brittany suggested Pike Place Market and stopping around their favorite spots. We ran around in the rain through alley ways, Gerrit shared a secret spots that he showed her at the beginning of their relationship, and we took cover inside near a little tchotchke shop that they visit often.
