Celebrating Love: Nick & Keri

Nick & Keri just celebrated 5 years of marriage: AWESOME! Aaannnd, although I didn't tag along for all of their anniversary festivities, I had a blast hanging with them before they headed out to dinner.

I LOVED that Nick and Keri wanted to do photos as part of their anniversary celebration. I (obviously) love documenting special moments with photos. Looking at these, I can totally imagine them pulling out albums on anniversaries & reliving old memories. 

For couple sessions like these, I don't do a lot of posing (yes guys, you heard me right).  :)  I give assignments instead. Nick and Keri rocked their assignments and Nick almost made me cry when he told me that he had fun during our session and that it really added meaning to their anniversary. 

Thank you Nick and Keri! You are wonderful, gorgeous people, both inside and out. This was really fun for me and I'm so glad you guys had an awesome anniversary.  You guys are a rad couple, and it shows. 

Springtime Engagement Session at Officer's Row

It's still months away, but I'm already super-excited for Josh and Jodie's Orcas Island Wedding. It's going to be seriously beautiful. But, as much as I'm excited for my visit to Orcas, I'm even more excited to see these two take the next step in their relationship. They are SO kind and thoughtful to each other.  I don't know if I've ever seen two people juggle kindness and honesty quite as well as Josh and Jodie do. It's pretty amazing.
