Feel free to cozy up with your favorite beverage (if you're like me, then maybe it's an espresso over ice with a splash of cream, or a warm matcha latte if it's cold outside!) and stay awhile. This is my place to share not just beautiful weddings or sessions, but to share my life. My hope is through this, you'll get to know a bit more about me and all the beautiful people that make it worth living!

Weston + Hollie | Lake Chelan Engagement Photography

There was a fading smoky haze in the air, but I had no complaints, because the sun was just that romantic shade of auburn with a warm golden glow.
