Atul + Poonum | Kerry Park + Myrtle Edwards Engagement Photography
Poonum likes to laugh. Atul loves to make Poonum laugh. They are in love, and are an amazing couple. Perfect!
Atul and Poonum have been dating for eight years and are soon to tie the knot at an Indian wedding in California. I was lucky enough to shoot their engagement in Seattle and we had a lot of spontaneous fun while doing so. I think spontaneous is the right word for this engagement as you will see…

After shooting engagement photos in Kerry Park, we headed to a secret spot in SODO that I’ve really wanted to shoot. It is THE place to see amazing graffiti.
As the day progressed, we went from shooting in nice sunny weather to slightly more ‘Seattle’ weather – drizzly and overcast. Never to fear though, Atul and Poonum were ready for a picnic on the beach and more engagement photography at Myrtle Edwards Park in downtown Seattle.

We had hot coffee and cupcakes from Seattle’s own Cupcake Royale. Red Velvet and pink frosting for Poonum, and a Peppermint Patty cupcake with green frosting for Atul. In case you didn’t know, Cupcake Royale is a Seattle institution and they have INCREDIBLE cupcakes. Yummy.
Even in the rain and drizzle, Poonum and Atul’s love and warmth for each other made the day seem bright and cheerful. I wish them the best at thier wedding. I KNOW it will be fantastic!!

Erik and Kristin | Seattle, Washington
Erik and Kristin dance to the beat of their own drum. Or, in this case, swing music. Their enthusiasm is infectious and the love they have for one another is deep.
Erik and Kristin came together through dancing. Swing dancing. Both Kristin and Erik brought authentic swing dancing clothes for the shoot. When I first met them in Georgetown, Erik opened up the back of his car and showed me, literally, an entire wardrobe of swing era clothing for both Kristin and himself. It was really fun picking out several outfits for different parts of the shoot. This kind of planning is what makes a good photography session FANTASTIC. And with that I present to you their wonderful photography session in Georgetown (an industrial and artsy neighborhood in south Seattle.)
Seattle Engagement Photography | Denise + Matt at Discovery Park
It’s not everyday that you meet a couple that are willing to meet you early in the morning to have portraits taken. However, that’s precisely what Denise and Matt did. They met me yesterday morning when the Autumn light was just about perfect and the mist was clearing at Discovery Park in Seattle, Washington. They were fun and spontaneous people too. It was a real treat to shoot Denise and Matt. I love the photos and can’t wait for your wedding!
