There is so much depth to Ashley. She is so peaceful and sweet, and just looking into her thoughtful gaze make you wonder what she’s thinking.
Sometimes I wonder at myself too, but gooooood thing I tested out going down into the creek bed first. Nothing like going muddin’ on a photo shoot.
Love, Alicia
I don’t know if I’ve ever met anyone near as enthusiastic as Krissy. She bubbles over with sheer joy. Its infectious, and pretty soon everyone around her is laughing, smiling, dancing, and just having fun.
Krissy, the thought of you makes me smile. Your love for life is so vibrant! You are definitely one crazy energy giver - you could even say that’s what makes you such a people magnet. That, and the sheer fact that you’re, how shall we say it…beyond ready for your dad to be cleaning his gun. You are gorgeous, my friend!
Oh, and hey…when we’re up in WA next, can you and Danielle do my hair?
Love, Alicia
This wedding near the end of July was so full of excitement, elegance, and beauty.
I met Matt way back in high school at AWANA Camp. Actually, saying it that way makes it seem like it was forever ago. I’d say about three years ago. And so much has happened in those three years.
I met Coleen last year, during Matt’s sister Megan’s senior portrait session. Megan wanted her portraits on Bainbridge Island and asked Coleen, her brother’s girlfriend at the time, to be our native tour guide. Talk about someone who knows her island! She made the history of the area come alive through her animation, love for the beauty surrounding us, and the memories attached to it all. No wonder she’s a teacher now.
If I could describe Coleen in one word, I’d use bubbly. Or cheerful. Or always with a smile. Woops…there went the one word rule.
Matt and Coleen are massively in love. The way their eyes light up when the other is near. They way they are perfectly and utterly content just being together. Simply beautiful.
They were married on the island Coleen grew up in, Bainbridge, with the grand reception held 45 minutes away in Port Orchard.
Aaaaaand instead of doing an Engagement Session, they decided that right after they got back from their honeymoon, they wanted to do a NewlyWed Portrait Session. Oh yeah! Be on the lookout…new posting coming soon to the blog.
Love, Alicia
