Monica and Matt may seem reserved when you meet them, but they're down for anything. Heck, the day after the wedding we shot Monica's "Trash the Dress" session! We'd scoped out various water-based locations on the Columbia and Yakima rivers ahead of time and settled on a secret location along a local river (sorry, we're not sharing — it's too good!). Mill Creek Gardens is one of those rare venues that's quaint without being run down. The place is kept very clean, and the access to the creek behind provided opportunities for wedding photos themes we'd never gotten before. Monica and Matt didn't let us down, hopping across rocks to get into the perfect spots we had in mind.

Chandra and Traci from Simplified Celebrations did their usual amazing job, providing a multitude of details that really made their day special.

We're fortunate to see Monica occasionally when we shoot corporate events for Bechtel. We hope to see them both more in the future!
