Canoe & Campfire Engagement Session

 

Monday already?! What better way to celebrate than with this impossibly fun engagement session on Lake Sawyer! Jamie & Phil grew up just a few houses away from each other on this gorgeous lake just south of Seattle. During our session, Jamie reminisced about swimming over to Phil’s house’s dock & goofing around with friends at the park. It wasn’t until college when they finally connected, however, at a mutual friend’s going away party. I loved hearing about life on the lake as Phil’s dad drove us around in the ski boat – it was pretty hilarious having his dad next to me as I gave posing tips to Jamie & Phil out on the canoe! I knew pretty quickly after meeting Jamie & Phil that we would hit it off. For starters, Jamie actually found me on Instagram – well, found our puppy, #lemonruth, to be more exact! We instantly bonded over our love of Cavaliers, so I was delighted when they wanted to include their tri-color, Alice, in their engagement session! Our session was more like hanging with friends for the evening, especially with how welcoming & kind Phil’s parents were to me, as well as his brother who tagged along to the park to mind little miss Alice. We ducked into moss covered fern gullies and waded through tall grass, enjoying all of the vibrant greens the Pacific Northwest has to offer. After a dreamy sunset out in the canoe on the lake (with the most stunning view of Mount Rainier), Jamie & Phil jumped into the water! My heart was nearly bursting of excitement by this point – the do-anything, having a blast kind of couples that are my absolute dream kind of clients! We roasted s’mores & toasted beers, and all-in-all had one of the best nights. Congratulations Jamie & Phil – I know your September wedding is going to be just as fun! xx

Don’t worry – I got in on this s’mores action, too! Jamie introduced using Caramellos instead of chocolate to me and it was magical!
