If you haven’t noticed, our NW falls colors are beginning to appear. From now through mid October is an excellent time to be scheduling your engagement shoot. I know just where to find these fantastic colors. And the firey colors go so very well with hot blooded couples in love!
Monday we did an engagement shoot with a local family from Tenino. I chose several locations that fit in with their country western style, plus a few locations for young Gavin’s benefit. The park at Tumwater Falls also worked out well, with the water level low enough there in the Deschutes river that we were able to get access to a smaller waterfall that ordinarily could never be photographed so easily. Though I might mention it did require some courage from Kristine to get across one side channel to the falls. She displayed that true pioneer spirit very well!

Tuesday we met Carolyn and Matthew at the Pt. Defiance Rose Gardens after they got off work. This park is great with several ponds, bridges, and gardens full of flowers in bloom. A veritable Garden of Eden for a beautiful young couple beginning their lives together.
We met up with Mey and Ramon at the University of Washington for this shoot. There were definitely concerns about being rained out on this one, but our timing was perfect. The sun broke though the clouds and really completed the springtime air about the whole campus. Flowering trees everywhere. Mey gave us quite the workout as we hoofed it a high speed up and down the paths and streets on and around the campus. But WOW! That is one cool place for for engagement photos. You be the judge.
Meet Diana. This is a snapshot of her at Golden Gardens park in Seattle. Melodie and I met up with her last Saturday to scout out where she’ll be having her own wedding July 27th. No question, with this beautiful beach location, it will be as scenic as one could hope for, so close to downtown Seattle, actually closer to Ballard to be precise.

We had been waiting for a break in the weather for a long time to do this outing up to Pt. Orchard. Finally Tuesday, we got what we needed, a beautiful partly cloudy sunny day. Catie and James drove up from Vancouver and from here we car pooled for the rest of the trip. This made for a pretty long day, yet I knew it would be worth it. It was pretty chilly however, resulting in some red noses that fortunately were easily taken care with some post processing back in the studio. Anyway these were the favorites. I hope you like them too.

Diana and Jesper went with us to the Christmas lights celebration here along with what seemed like a thousand other people. It was like Disneyland. And covered in lights of every color to simulate garden plants, flowers, birds, spiders, and even slugs. As you can see from the following images, it also made for some great photography!
