Rattlesnake Lake Seattle Adventure Couples Session

We really got to experience the PNW moody feel for this shoot with Mary & Leslie at Rattlesnake Lake near Seattle, WA! It was extremely cold, windy, and rainy, but these two made it look easy all snuggled up and having a great time!

This shoot was part of a Mentorship I had the privilege of doing with two of my biggest elopement photography inspirations; Henry Tieu and Maddie Mae! It was such a great day and I learned so many amazing things that I can start implementing in all my future work! This is one thing I love about photography, there is constant learning involved, always ways to improve and get better at what you do. I am thankful for photographers like Henry & Maddie that are willing to share their secrets to success without holding anything back.

Can’t leave out this photo of Henry and his awesome umbrella hat! Where do I get me one of those?!

And a photo of me doing my thing! (Taken by Henry Tieu)
