There is a lot to be said about choosing the right photographer. But, what you may not realize is that we also go through a process of making sure we are the right photographers for our clients.
From the beginning, we knew Liz and Jeff were going to be a great match for us and our work. Already excited about our photography style, at their Engagement Shoot they gave us their complete trust & confidence, which was exactly what we needed most. And because we had such a magical shoot that day, we then earned their trust for their wedding day. And, if I do say so myself, we completely rocked it once again :)
When a client gives us their trust it allows us total creative freedom. Rather than feeling like we are trying to match somebody else's vision, Jake and I get to read the couple and create a new vision entirely for them, and this is what creates our photographs. This is where the fun and the mystery is. I am always so excited to shoot a new couple. I always am confident that I will love the end result, but discovering what kind of shots we will get is so suspenseful. The adrenaline the hours before a shoot feels very much like Christmas Eve, wondering just what will come of the next few hours...
Liz and Jeff, what can I say? We love you guys for the couple that you are, for they way that you celebrate your love for each other, and for giving us such great inspiration for our work. Thank you for your vote of confidence in us time and time again.
Also, a huge thank you to all the vendors Liz & Jeff chose - your work together created an unforgettable wedding for us to photograph and we simply couldn't have done it without you.

And a very special thank you to Holly and her staff at The Plateau Club in Sammamish. They did such an amazing job coordinating Liz & Jeff's wedding. Everything flowed seamless throughout the entire ceremony and reception, and everyone there was so friendly and helpful. Truly wonderful!

Liz's hot pink Guess shoes were a testament to the sassiness of the bride herself. Love you Liz!

I'm going to totally embarrass Jake here... I never call him out on the
blog like this, but I just can't let these go without the proper credit he deserves.
These two shots of the groomsmen & groom are his...

Their First Look. By far, one of my favorite images of the day. Having their first look earlier in the day allowed us some time to get some fabulous shots of just the two of them before the wedding began.
Another great shot by Jake. He had the 200 2.0 to get some super buttery close ups that I just fell in love with.
This one is his too...
And this one...
Yep, this one too... (another one of my all-time favorites!)
And this one...
He also grabbed this one of their first dance...
I was already expecting these to be great great shots, but I'm so overly impressed with the outcome! It doesn't hurt that Jeff & Liz are such a good-looking couple! =) Joey, you and Jake were such a pleasure to work with and your professionalism and talent are SO apparent! Thank you so much! And I'm hoping to work with you two again in the very near future! =)
