Sami & Tino | Wedding Photos & Movie | Tacoma, WA

Sami & Tino know how to party. From the family fireworks in Tacoma the day before, to the zip lines and ropes course at Northwest Trek, filming them was a blast! We were fortunate to capture their engagement photos, where we took them to shoot pool (watch out for Tino — he can hustle you!), share an awesome sundae at Rosie's Ice Cream Shop in Richland, and wade through the Columbia River.

And for the wedding, this was our first shoot in Buckley, WA. Tracy Castle provided a perfect setting, adding a touch of class. And it made for awesome aerial establishing shots — you've got to see their movie to see what we mean!

Kelli & Cody's Engagement | UW Arboretum, Pioneer Square | Seattle, WA

We began their shoot at the University of Washington's Arboretum. One of the Arboretum's designers gave Ryan a private tour of the grounds before the shoot — it was helpful to learn about the less-traveled spots. Then we headed to Seattle's Pioneer Square for dusk…and Pioneer Square delivered! It wasn't too busy (the Mariners were playing, but it was only the bottom of the 3rd). We found a beautifully-lit alley  that we'd shoot in any day! (We had to remove some trash cans in our editing process, but it was well worth it.)

We're enamored with what they gave us to work with, and we can't wait to shoot Kelli & Cody's wedding, coming up here soon!
