A Riverside Engagement Session in North Bend, WA

When a couple tells you the whole reason they bought their house was the backyard, you know you’re in for a good engagement session – and this one on the Snoqualmie River did not disappoint.

A Backyard on the Snoqualmie River

Jesse and Sara recently reached out to me about photographing their engagement and wedding. They’ve been together for years and have a huge group of friends already looking forward to celebrating with them on the big day. For their engagement session, they invited me to their place in North Bend, WA – the home they told me they’d bought largely for the backyard. Standing there, right on the Snoqualmie River with gorgeous mountain views all around, I completely understood why.

Your wedding day isn’t just about getting beautiful photos – it’s about telling the story of your love. I’m here to help make that happen for both of you.
