Like a summer's breeze, these two swept into our lives and we just haven't been the same since. Perhaps if you, too, had the chance to wander Seattle in the presence of their love, you might be affected the same. Their passion for each other, complimented by sweet laughter and a fabulous sense of style made this shoot so much fun for Jake and I.

I might sound like a broken record by now, but oh wow, how we just adore our couples...

Susie & Casey, thank you so very much for entrusting us to do our thing the way we do it best. I love these images dearly, and it just makes us all the more excited for your wedding this summer. You are going to be one stunning pair as Bride and Groom :)

Until then... a few of my favorites for the world to enjoy...

I was so excited to receive Heidi's email recently. Heidi, you see, is a newly engaged bride-to-be with a gorgeous sense of style. In planning her own wedding, she found the process so fascinating that she started her own blog, Unabashed Bliss. As she finds things she likes or hopes to use for her own wedding, she features them here. I definitely suggest you take a peek!

{An Announcement}

Hi Friends! It's been a busy week here at Joey Nicole Photography, and not without results! I have some very exciting news to share with you...

Last week, I had the opportunity to go to San Diego and attend a workshop with The Boudoir Divas. In case you have not already heard of these fabulous gals (Marissa Boucher & Kimberlee West and their team), they are THE experts in the industry today. They have worked hard to bring Boudoir photography back and pave the road for the rest of us. They've wiped out the stigma of those 1980s glamour shots and replaced the idea with their gorgeous, classy, and modern boudoir photography. There was no doubt that I had to attend their workshop and learn a few tricks of the trade from them. I have been wanting to launch the Boudoir side of my business for some time, and ladies, it... is... time!

I am busy putting my portfolio together and figuring out all the fine details, but if you are interested definitely shoot me an email so that I can keep you in the inside circle. It can be the perfect wedding gift for your groom... anniversary or birthday gift as well... or even that once in a lifetime shoot just for you.

Keep it in mind, and I will keep you posted!

Here's a shot of me with Marissa (on the left) and Kimberlee (on the right) at our dinner the last night of the workshop...

{A Valentine}

Dear Jake,

I know this post will embarrass you terribly, so forgive me, but I just can't keep my big mouth shut.

I love you. I love you so much. And, I just want the world to know. Not specifically about you and I, but just to know that this kind of love is possible... that it's out there... and that it can be theirs as well.

On Sunday, we spent Valentine's Day together, and it was perfect... we didn't have any fancy plans, but just devoted ourselves to spending the day together. We exchanged red-enveloped cards in the morning, held hands as we wandered around downtown, talked about our hopes and dreams, and treated ourselves to a fabulous meal. It was simple, and it was so perfect.

Since we've been married, I feel like I have changed so much, and all for the better. You teach me to be myself, to trust myself, and you encourage me every step of the way, without hesitation, no matter what project or crazy idea I have. Without you, I would probably still be shuffling papers in a cubicle, feeling "safe" with my 9-5 job, working out like a hamster, and drying my hair straight.

These days, I find myself trying new things, pushing my own boundaries, wearing my natural curls, and listening to my heart. I can only hope that I'm doing the same for you. I am so excited for our future, and to one day find out where this journey, our journey, will take us. I appreciate you so much, and I owe so much of our success to you.

So here I am, with my heart on my sleeve, so that the world can know that this kind of love is possible. The kind of love that makes curls go wild, and makes me feel so loved and so comfortable in my own shoes.

Forever Yours,

Joey

Whomever says email is cold has obviously never received an email from Jayme. From the moment I read her first email, I knew I liked her. Words over Internet were bubbly... excited... eager... everything a new bride should be. She had me hooked. And when Jake and I met her and her fiance Jordan together, we knew it was a perfect match all around.

For their engagement shoot, we shot mainly around Pike Place Market. I never, ever get tired of shooting here. We got really lucky this January day with beautiful weather, which also brought about a pretty big crowd for Pike Place. We had fun with it, and toured around our own city like tourists. I felt like a Paparazzi trying to track them in the sea of driving cars and bustling shoppers.

Check out a few of my favorites below :)
