In my last blog, I shared some of their engagement photos first before the wedding. I decided to continue that on with Gracie and Danny's story, as in an ideal world I love being able to meet my clients ahead of time for an engagement session! I drove from California and they drove from Washington, we met in the middle at Crater Lake.
Sometimes when sunrise conditions aren't ideal in the original spot, you just need to drive down the mountain listening to blue grass music until you find a beautiful PNW forest picnic area to run around with your dog in the fresh rain 🌲
Conditions at Crater Lake were so cold and snowy we could barely open our eyes. We drove down the mountain and did their session amongst the trees, they wore their sweaters handmade by Gracie and this morning ended up being so beautiful! Complete with the biscuits and gravy special from a local cafe to follow. Here is a peak at their engagement session!
Wedding at Camp Kirby, in Bow, Washington
Review by Gracie:
“Booking Christina as our wedding photographer ended up being one of the best wedding planning decisions we could have ever made!! We found Christina on Instagram because she had taken some awesome photos of a wedding at a summer camp. Because we were planning a summer camp wedding ourselves, we reached out. We got to meet up with her about a month before the wedding for the free engagement session that she offers. I couldn't believe how far out of her way she was willing to go to have a chance to meet up with us before the wedding! She made us feel so comfortable during that session, including our dog in the photos and helping us be ourselves in front of the camera. It was clear from the beginning that she is extremely knowledgable and experienced. She also helped us plan the timeline for our wedding day, and was consistently great at communicating and answering any and all questions we had.
The day of the wedding, she went absolutely above and beyond to help everything run smoothly. She was professional and super friendly, and she was totally flexible incorporating any requests we had for her that day. The photos that she took are incredibly stunning, and they perfectly capture everything we felt on our wedding day. We wholeheartedly recommend Christina to anyone looking for a photographer!”
