Chris bought her tulips for their room at the Phoenix Inn from the Olympia Farmers Market. What a nice surprise after a long morning of getting all glammed up at Premiere Salon

Engaged LOVE!!!

Kristi & Chris
LOVE LAUGH


Kristi & Chris are getting married in a couple weeks and I am so lucky to be their wedding photographer! I am really looking forward to seeing them celebrate their love for one another and document it. I have known Kristi for about 5 years and she is a good friend, a fellow wedding & event provider, & owner of Paprika Catering. Depsite knowing Kristi for so long, I had not spent much time with Chris so it was a lot of fun getting to know him better and to see them together by doing an engagement photo session.

We did an engagement session in downtown Olympia mid March and had a blast despite the cool spring weather. They have a sweetness & sparkle between them that is really special & I loved getting to know them more thru this session. Engagement sessions are really a nice way to get to know each other & for me as a photographer to get to know my clients likes & dislikes.

Her engagement ring is a family heirloom diamond and so pretty! Heirloom diamonds have a cut and color that is incredible!!! I can't wait to post pics of her with her wedding band!
