It's an El Nina year, my babes, which means snow i It's an El Nina year, my babes, which means snow is hanging out extra long on all those mountain tops, and the rainy spring days keep on coming! Which can delay all our happy vitamin D summertime vibes, but honestly we could not be happier. Give us all the rain & snow!!! It's so good for a healthy snowpack to sustain our beautiful alpine environments throughout those long, beautiful summers. We’re so excited to head back to the Cascades for a bunch of weddings this month. .

Hopping back onto the internet world to bless you Hopping back onto the internet world to bless you with one of my favorite sunrise shoots of all time.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Working on lots of stuff around here, planting the garden, walking the dogs, exploring our new neighborhood, and trying out new/old hobbies we haven't had the time for in the past two (very insane) years. Wedding season is juuuuust about upon us, and we are gearing up for summer. Can’t wait to catch some beautiful mountain light with you all ❤️🤘

Happy (slightly belated) Gotcha Day to Theo!! I ca Happy (slightly belated) Gotcha Day to Theo!! I can't believe it's been a whole year & 7 days since this extravert on 4 legs bombarded into our lives and stole our hearts. 

Thanks for being the most dramatic, big-hearted, excitable, friendliest, goofiest, loving, age-defying, long distance marathoner I've ever met, bud. You are the sunshine in our lives and also the reason we drink, sweet boy. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you haven’t met him yet, Theo always brings the stoke to every shoot (sometimes a little TOO much stoke iykyk) and he truly, truly loves getting to meet you all. Thank you for welcoming him with open arms to your weddings. In honor of the big guy turning 10 years old, here are some of my favorite Theo photobombs from this past year.

Happy earth day, my friends! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Happy earth day, my friends!

I always have a lot of thoughts and feeling about Earth Day, since this delightful, fascinating space marble that keeps us all alive is probably the thing I’m most passionate about. But I’ll try to keep it brief:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Be good to the earth. She’s all we have. Oh, and pick up some trash today.✌️

These wanted their photos to revolve around their These wanted their photos to revolve around their love of backcountry skiing together and their dog! To which I wholeheartedly agreed, under the condition that they knew Devon and I are two clumsy dweebs who have never been able to ski in our lives. They were gracious enough to put up with our lack of skill and we snowshoed in with them instead. Went in search of blue bird skies with these two, but of course, the PNW had other plans for us, as she often does in the spring. Not to worry though, we had just as much fun tromping about in the "bad" weather! .

Sometimes I’ll just be going through my day and Sometimes I’ll just be going through my day and then I’ll think about the light at this one session and be like “damn”. It was truly chef’s kiss perfection and now all I do is measure all other light by it. Any other photographers have memories of the perfect lighting you wish you could bottle?? Or am I insane?

I keep saying that we're going to be more active o I keep saying that we're going to be more active on here and then disappearing off for the next two weeks. What can I say. 😅It's been busy behind the scenes with so many couples signing on for adventures with us for this year and 2023! Lots of emails, zoom calls, location research, and ever more emails. When not emailing, it's been a busy spring of fixing up our rental place. We've been doing so much landscaping! So looking forward to summer, when it's days of catching sunrises and photographing all you cool people. 🤘✨❤️

It’s a blustery, cold, gray day here on Fidalgo It’s a blustery, cold, gray day here on Fidalgo Island; the wind is howling down our chimney and even the seagulls seem cold today, so I am mentally living in the warm sunrise light of this little corner of Utah until further notice 🤘✨😅

So much in wedding photography can be boiled down So much in wedding photography can be boiled down to 3 words: pay good attention. Every year, we focus in a goal for our storytelling. Last year, it was pushing our limits and finding ways to photograph in challenging environments & over long haul distances. This year, we’re circling back to the foundation of good photography: paying good attention. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our best and our favorite images don’t come from a sense of creative direction, a pose or a scene we create, but rather they come from a combination of luck, preparation, quick reflexes, and paying good attention. So much of what happens on a wedding day really has little to do with you, the photographer, issuing prompts or giving out poses or trying to be ultra creative. Once you realize this, you can focus in on paying attention to what is happening already as opposed to trying to direct the action. In every moment, there is always something that you haven’t seen yet.

Happy International Women’s Day! The awe-inspiri Happy International Women’s Day! The awe-inspiring, talented, hilarious, brilliant women I’ve met because of this job are without a doubt one of the shining joys of my life. I might have gotten in to photographing weddings because I loved weddings, but I stay in it because of all the incredible women I get to spend time with as a result. Truly, you all inspire the fuck out of me. It was impossible to choose only 10 photos for this post because you’re all incredible, but these are a tiny fraction of my favorite photos of ladies living their best life. 

Cheers to many more years of progress, equality, kicking ass, and looking gorgeous while we’re at it. 
-Laura
