Amy + Shaun = Married | Enumclaw Wedding Photographer

What a beautiful day out at Genesis Farm and Gardens!  The July sun was perfect, there were beautiful fluffy clouds in the sky and Shaun and Amy are getting married.  Let's all grab a cup of tea and enjoy their beautiful day...

Amy and her bridesmaids had a beautiful cottage to get ready in.  The dress and details were perfection.  Just the right accents in all the right places.

And it all comes together beautifully! 

The groomsmen are always so quick to get dressed and what is left but to hang out with friends, be nervous or pose for pictures?  I'm glad Shaun chose to come with me for a few pictures!

The gardens have the most perfect shade of purple, matching the flowers!  And the lovely Amy is a radiant bride today.

 Are we ready for the big reveal?  I love doing these first look moments prior to the wedding.  Amy was practically dancing with anticipation and Shaun was perfectly cool and composed. 

We all stepped back to give them a few moments.

Bring on the groomsmen!
These guys were willing to do anything for a great picture and honor their friend.  Shaun, you are very lucky to have this great group of guys!

Several of the groomsmen are Amy's brothers, so we had to include her in a few!

Ahh, the beauties of the day get their turn.  Fun, fresh and perfectly ready, these ladies put a lot of work into Amy and Shaun's big day.

This venue has so many choices!  We stepped inside for a moment to escape the eat and enjoy a little diffused lighting as well.  The gals gathered around, to celebrate their friendship and sisterhood for a moment.  

And here come the family...

The reception tent is just about ready!  And the doves are ready for their entrance too!

An introducing Mr. & Mrs. Shaun Edwards!  Welcome to the reception!  The food was fantastic, so light for the warm weather.

The reception is mostly about the people.  And these people know how to celebrate.  There were MANY toasts enjoying memories of the bride or groom or both.  There were so many relationships to be celebrated and encouraged. 

The bride's siblings had lots of Shaun stories to share so Amy took over for a few minutes to keep everyone on their toes.

And the party continued.....

Special thanks to:

 Genesis Farm and Gardens for the beautiful venue.  It was truly the perfect place to celebrate.

Cascade Catering for the fantastic food.  It was allergy sensitive, beautiful and perfect!

Amy & Shaun - Tacoma Engagement Photographer

One day I got a wedding inquiry that mentioned one of my favorite past clients.  I immediately dialed the phone number to find out more!  From the very first phone call I have enjoyed getting to know Amy and Shaun.   It was like we were on the same page right away, which is something to LOVE when choosing your wedding vendors.  Their vision for their wedding and marriage drew me in and I am so excited to share their engagement photos with you all!

 

Amy and Shaun met through her sister - like planets always being near each other, but never colliding.

 

 

Their commitment to each other is inspiring.  And the chemistry is pretty electric too!

 

 

 We chose Point Defiance Park because it offered the most opportunity to be outside and still have lots of different textures and light.

 As the sun began to go down we moved around a lot.  We wanted as many shots as possible in that beautiful light.

 

There really is something about images that convey emotion without any faces. 

 

 

And as the sun dipped even further we headed down to the water.

 

 

Luckily it wasn't raining.  But we used an umbrella as a prop anyway! 

 

 

Congratulations Shaun & Amy!  It's going to be a beautiful wedding, but even more than that, it's going to be a wonderful marriage!
