Brooke and Erik reached out to me last minute, when wildfires threatened their original elopement location in Eastern Washington. Their color palette and overall vibe was perfect for Mount Baker’s fall season, and we made them some absolutely gorgeous items! Mother Nature was a big of a brat a second time and poured rain and wind on these two for their day, but you wouldn’t know it based on the smiles! I had such a wonderful time working with them and being a little part of their wild adventures. B+E, BIG HUGS!!

Anna and Brandon braved the same stormy weather that Brooke and Erik did, their elopement celebrations were on the same day! Luckily they had a great photo/elopement planning team that helped prepare them for the unexpected. They embraced it with joyful hearts and an adventurous spirit (you never know what weather you’re going to get in the North Cascades!) and ended up with a wonderful story to tell. These two were such a blast to work with and had so much trust in the creative process, with some fantastic ideas of their own: hat florals anyone?! A+B, big hugs from Washington, you’re awesome!

Some wedding days stick in my mind just a bit more than usual, and this is one of them. J+R approached their floral designs with such intentionality; everything was chosen for a specific and quantifiable reason. There was no feel of “checking things off a list” here, everything was intended to have a specific purpose and feeling. I found myself deeply inspired by these two and their journey.

The designs were magical, meaningful, and just a bit challenging; my FAVORITE kind! I grew “Diva” dahlias in my home garden just for them, as they were the absolute perfect choice for the color palette. Combine all this with an absolutely stellar vendor team with some of my industry friends and you’ve got a day for the books.

J+R, you’ve got a friend in Bellingham! Come visit any time.

I have a soft spot for the winter months. I love the magic of snowfall, the unique grey lighting, the opportunities for getting ultra cozy, all of it. The PNW looks amazing in all seasons! These two were game to participate in this gorgeous winter shoot, staying warm with a fluffy capelet and snuggling each other. I love the way these photos turned out!

Shelby and Ryan planned their entire elopement in 4 weeks, from Texas no less! They included their immediate family and ventured up to Artist Point on Mount Baker, with the help of their elopement planner/photographer. They wanted a slightly draping bouquet, with tons of local blooms in a classic burgundy, blush and white color palette. I also sent them off with some loose blooms for their cake and picnic table garland, which they arranged themselves when they got up to the mountain. Baker was serving up some looks for them, check out their gorgeous photos!

J+B planned their whole wedding from across the country! They chose a cabin in the foothills of the North Cascades as their home base, and had their nearest and dearest join them for a mountain top ceremony followed by a forest reception that can only be described as MAGICAL. What a joy to work with clients who feel like friends.

This was the most fun color palette and vibe I had all year! Muted earth tones including tan, rust, bronze, white, and cream with pops of deep reds and turquoise. Was I intimidated? Maybe a little, but not nearly as much as I was excited! This peaceful and relaxed venue was brought to life by this vibrant couple, complete with swanky lounge areas provided by Wander Event Rentals, cocktail tables for a private place to step away from the party, and homemade s’mores for guests to take home. 11/10, hands down would go back in time to experience this day again!

A sunset ceremony on top of the mountain followed by dinner with their favorite people, and lanterns lighting their way home sounds like the perfect day to me! These two wanted clean, classic florals to complement their attire without overshadowing it, and local roses, veronicas, dahlias and fresh mixed greenery totally fit the bill. It was lovely to be a part of your day!
