I think of these words often when I’m photographing couples, families, & weddings. I heard a quote near the beginning of my photography career that’s always stuck with me - “ we’re helping to create the way someone remembers their life – the catalyst to treasured memories of a life well-lived – as well as self-discovery, self-expression, an experience, and most of all: emotion” (Christa Meola). Photography is a powerful tool for honoring relationships, milestones, and memories.
And once you add kiddos into the mix, it can be nearly impossible! (I should know!! Some years it’s all I can do to wrangle everyone into a single family portrait for Christmas cards.) But that’s probably part of the reason why I love doing these sessions so much - it’s a chance for a couple to take a deep breath and remember together all the things that kindled their love at the beginning. Once everything returns to a new normal after a wedding day, it’s easy to let the years slip by without taking time to commemorate your relationship with photos. It’s more than a hobby in their family-I think I could safely say that fishing is a way of life and a passion they’re already passing down to their sweet kiddo Logan.Īs an Olympic Peninsula wedding photographer I love doing couple’s portrait sessions once they’ve been married for a couple years! There is a depth and richness to their affection after a couple has weathered some life together.
#Treasured memories by stephanie professional
Stephanie & Phil’s love story is quintessentially northwest - Steph is an avid fisherwoman and Phil is a professional fishing guide, so naturally, they fell in love over the course of fishing trips around the Olympic Peninsula.
On a cool, rainy, perfectly Pacific Northwest day, my sweet friend Stephanie and her hubby Phil joined me at Salt Creek State Park just west of Port Angeles for a romantic couple’s session celebrating their second anniversary.
