Pike Place Market and Seattle Center Engagement Session: Rachel + Matt

Apr 1, 2009 | Engagements

On Sunday, I had a very fun afternoon working with Rachel and Matt on their engagement photos.  Matt and Rachel are getting married back in Minnesota (and yes, I am bummed that they are not flying me out to photograph their wedding) so they wanted their engagement photos to “scream Seattle”.  We spent the afternoon touring some of our favorite spots around Pike Place Market, the EMP, and to finish off the day, Kerry Park.  Some of my favorite photos were taken outside Il Bistro, where they got engaged.

We got really lucky with the weather, and our locations were fab, but what really made the photos was how amazingly natural these guys are with each other, and in front of the camera.  When I asked them to kiss, it wasn’t a little peck … no, these guys are really into each other!  Thanks for a very fun afternoon, and I hope you love your teasers as much as I do.  🙂
