The Holdaways are an adorable family we have the pleasure of living near.  Trish does my hair, and I have NEVER had anyone I’ve been more happy with.  (No offense to my past hair-girls.)

Anyway, I happen to like to like to get my hair did and Trish happens to like to have family pictures so we worked out a trade, of sorts.  I am ALWAYS open to trading.  Do you babysit, massage. . . are you another photographer??  I’m happy to work something out- shoot me an email!

So I met the Holdaway family on a beautiful and sunny evening at Gasworks Park.  The sun was just on it’s way to bed and all of the sailboats were coming in to the harbor for the night- what an amazing show!!  I could have sat for hours just watching them sway back and forth.  Little Maxwell was more interested in the pebbles on the shore, and the bugs in the grass, and anything and everything else.  He was the perfect three-year-old and ran and played and gave a few kisses to mom and dad.  Those toddlers really make me work, but I just love the shots I get from them!

Thank you Holdaways for amazing pictures, and amazing hair.  :)

This is my favorite shot of the night.  Hands.  Down.

Trish and Alex are my fave.  They’re so sweet and completely in love.  I can’t even remember how many times I cried during their wedding and reception. . .  Let’s just say it was embarrassing.

You may remember their charming picnic engagement session.  If you thought they couldn’t be any cuter, then you’re just wrong.  Trish made the most beautiful bride and Alex was the perfect doting groom.  They were surrounded by family and friends at the Lake Wilderness Lodge in Maple Valley and everything was beautiful.  Before the ceremony, we went into the arboretum next to the lodge for some bride & groom shots.  Then their ceremony was overlooking the lake with Mt. Rainier in the distance.

This may be the longest post ever because I just couldn’t narrow the pictures down, so I’ll stop jabbering and get on with it!

My friend Kristina Wunsch of Poppi Photography second-shot this wedding for me and she got this AMAZING shot.  More of her work below.  Thanks Kristina!!
