Maggie and Brian are a sweet, down-to-earth couple who were two of the winners from our Spring engagement session giveaway on Wedding Bee. They met while attending law school the University of Oregon (while I was there and I didn’t even know it!) and have been together ever since. They’re having a beautiful wedding early next year at IslandWood on Bainbridge Island, so they wanted their engagement shoot to reflect their Seattle-Bainbridge ties.
When Maggie suggested staging photos on the ferry boat that runs between the mainland and Bainbridge, I did a little happy dance in my chair. I love ferry boats!
We started the session near the ferry dock at Seattle’s famous Pike Place market for some engagement photography at the market’s well-known landmarks. We meandered from Post Alley through the market proper and down to lower Post Alley where the gross-but-fascinating “gum wall” is lurking before heading to the ferry terminal. We missed the first ferry we wanted to catch by minutes, but no biggie…that gave us time for a good beer, great conversation, and a few more cute photographs!
Funny enough, the forecast for that Sunday was touchy at best but there was enough wind to blow away all the clouds and leave us with nothing but sun… and a VERY stiff breeze on the water! All of us ran from sheltered alcove to alcove bent over to stay upright in the gale. It’s a pretty quick ride between Seattle and B-Island, so we shot wherever we could on the boat before jumping off and exploring the Bainbridge harbor and Maggie’s family home where their dog, Cody, was waiting with kisses. It was a wonderful tour-de-Seattle with an even more wonderful couple.
Thank you both for spending the afternoon with us! And enjoy the photographs…
