Green was the color of the day. Green equals life. Green equals new life. These two lovebirds are so happy together; so excited to embark on the new life before them. You could feel the energy in the place. New love was commencing, and the sun couldn’t have been shining brighter, nor the people smiling any bigger. This was a day to celebrate!

Meg and Justin couldn’t have adored each other more, and for those of us who got to enjoy this beautiful celebration, it was sweet to see all of their meaningful and intentional details executed perfectly. Washington weddings in July are always a gamble, but for this couple, the clouds parted, the mercury rose, and we had one of the most glorious days of the summer. Congratulations to my new sweet friends, and thank you, for letting us be a part of your day!

These are pretty magical times, these spring times… Hope you enjoy as much as I got too!

This last weekend we celebrated Ryan’s birthday, and this is a little taste of the what the Pacific NW is offering this season. Whew! So much beauty in so many places!

Today is my dear husband’s 30th birthday. He is a testimony of God’s goodness to us all. A three-time cancer survivor, the one who has untapped depth beyond his years. He’s coming into his own and is finally willing to engage in the value of life’s events in how they’ve changed him; how they’ve grow him. I’m so excited about what’s happening and so thankful that my wagon is hitched to his. I really really like this guy, and I’m better because of him.

No better way to have a morning than to wake up to a friendly kitty, kiss the husband, swim for a half hour, and head to a farmer’s flower market for this season’s stunning offerings! Hope you enjoy the beauty that shows something of its creator.

On days like today, even though everything outside is bursting forth, we are still dealing with only varying shades of gray and varying barometer ratings on rain versus mist versus a general heavy feeling of humidity. SO, I must add some early morning shots still illuminated by only the glow of light, and enjoy the cheer of the happy pink popping off the page!

This is a beautiful couple with a beautiful story. The surprising features of this wedding include: Pheasant feathers, Western Hemlock tree trunks (schlepped out of the Alaskan woods by yours truly, yours truly’s marvelous husband, and yours truly’s greatest friend), and drawer pulls! Yep, drawer pulls. They were the cherry on top for this wedding to all who got close enough to enjoy them. If you look really, really hard, you might be able to see a cameo appearance in Lindsay’s up-close shot. What can I say? I was inspired!

These four pictures encapsulate the entire trip.  Everything we touched was gorgeous.  All that we smelled was sumptuous. New friends. Loads of inspiration. What an incredible experience!
