Britta and Luke | Suncadia Resort WA Elopement Photographer

I'm Jackie

Traveling wedding photographer + photography/small biz educator.

Mesmerized by the way two people love each other, each so uniquely.  I always leave room for dessert. Believe swear words are just sentence embellishers. Think indulgences are necessary in this life. 

hey hey

Parties with all the best people in their lives.

Love stories in all forms without the white dress... or maybe they wore white, it happens.

Just my little thoughts on different topics of planning your wedding day big party or just you two.

Stories of two lovers making it all about them, as they should.

 

Suncadia WA Winter Elopement Couple Running Holding HandsBritta & Luke are the happiest married couple EVER. Two minutes into photographing them I realized how easy that day was going to be cause they’re so in love and so giddy happy there was no direction needed from me. Do your thang you two and I promise the photos will be so good!

Elopements are quickly becoming one of my favorite things. They’re always focused on the right things and so incredibly carefree. There aren’t any details to worry about or distract you. Just you two and sometimes a handful of other people who might join in, in a beautiful location, and a dress. Britta & Luke had thought for a moment about just the two of them running off somewhere beautiful to promise themselves to each other, but realized it just wouldn’t be right without those who had been the best examples of love for them. So their parents joined them at Suncadia Resort as they said I do. Luke’s father even officiating. It was absolutely perfect!!! The wind might have really whipped through the canyon but the sun was out and nothing could get in the way of these two.

Britta wore this stunning dress from BHLDN and paired it up with some Frye snow boots. Totally my kinda girl! And Luke in a grey suit with dress shoes. No one could talk him into snow boots no matter how much snow and ice was out there. That man was gonna marry the love of his life in dress shoes!

When they’re together it’s as if no one else is around. Their love is mesmerizing. They don’t hold back, no matter who is watching. Britta with her permanent smile and constant giggles and Luke always pulling her in tighter and kissing her neck. Exactly how I think it ought to be. All in with love. It was a great privilege to witness it and and honor to photograph it. And I’m so excited to share it with you!!!

Congrats, Britta & Luke!!!!

XOXO

This photo is so crazy imperfect but I’m still just so in love with it. Totally unprompted in the moment Luke swooped Britta off her feet. I didn’t get it in focus but I like it this way. It makes me feel carefree and lost in their fairytale. Able to let go the way she does.Suncadia WA Snoqualmie Pass Winter Elopement Photos Groom Swinging Bride AroundSuncadia WA Snoqualmie Pass Winter Elopement Photos Groom Carrying BrideSuncadia WA Snoqualmie Pass Winter Elopement Photos Couple EmbracingSuncadia WA Snoqualmie Pass Winter Elopement Photos Couple Holding HandsSuncadia WA Snoqualmie Pass Winter Elopement Photos Couple Embracing LaughingSuncadia WA Snoqualmie Pass Winter Elopement Photos Couple KissingSuncadia WA Snoqualmie Pass Winter Elopement Photos Couple HuggingSuncadia WA Snoqualmie Pass Winter Elopement Photos Couple Kissing in Blanket
