Sarah & Amritz | Seattle | Destination Engagement | EMP | Pike’s | First Starbucks

David Wittig, a fellow wedding photog and friend of mine, once spoke about taking our photography to the next level through destination engagement sessions. Right after his talk I was so stoked about telling my brides about this crazy good idea. Destination weddings are generally too expensive for a lot of couples to plan, and most people only see them in those fancy magazines. So I tell them about how a destination engagement session is the perfectly affordable way to get gorgeous shots in a different city.

Sarah and Amritz were born and raised in L.A., so coming out to Seattle was definitely a new experience for them. Being in Seattle, we were really worried about the weather because the forecast had been for rain all week long. The day before we shot, it rained. Luckily, the day we went out to shoot the weather was perfect. And then the next day, it rained and snowed a lot. This has happened to me numerous times with weddings and engagements. I like to think God is looking out for us sometimes.

Sarah found out about us through Iris and Eric. She loved their engagement session, so there was a little pressure to knock this one out of the park. Amrtiz and Sarah were up for anything, so that made it a thousand times easier. I love how some of the shots came out. Can’t wait for their wedding next month!

We had traveled under this walkway so many times before Ingrid stopped us and forced us to take a picture here. She’s a landscape architecture major, so she knows what she’s doing.
