I had so many favorites I couldn't decide with ones to post, this is always the hardest part for me and why it takes me years to get blogs up, I can't ever decide!

These two were a dream to work with and I don't think they could take a bad picture if they tried!  When Victoria and I first went over her wedding timeline, our original locations got changed at the last minute due to time, but I could not be happier with how everything turned out and sometimes those last minute changes turn out amazing!  I always tell my couples, just go with the flow and don't let anything ruin your day, I can adjust to any situation!  Oh, and their wedding party, they were the most fun I have ever had at any wedding! I don't think I ever laughed as much as I did with them!  With over 1400 pictures in their gallery it was hard to narrow it down, but I finally did it! Enjoy!

I am so happy to have had the opportunity to photograph their wedding.  They were so easy going and the whole day was stress free.  With inquiries already coming in for destination weddings for 2019, I am super excited to see where this journey will take me.  I'm excited to share this beautiful wedding with all of you!

I also want to thank my awesome assistant Irina who was there to get some shots of the bride walking down the aisle from the balcony.  It's the different perspectives that give such an amazing different view and why you should have a second shooter at your wedding! Hope you enjoy viewing this post as much as I did creating it!

Here are a some of my favorites from their maternity session.

Alina set aside 3 hours for us to take portrait pictures so not only were we able to go to an amazing location that was a little way out of Moses Lake, but also have a lot of time to be able to get every shot possible.  I hope you all enjoy looking through these as much as I enjoyed capturing them!

I love taking pictures in Seattle because it is so different from Eastern WA, but I must say, I am so happy they said they wanted pictures done on the east side because I have been wanting to do pictures at Cave B Resort for quite some time and needed that perfect couple. Rachelle & Patrick were the PERFECT pair for this shoot!  I love the shots we got and these two are naturals in front of the camera!  I seriously cannot wait til their wedding in a few short months! I hope you all enjoy these as much as I enjoyed taking them and working with this wonderful pair!

xoxo -Vita

Eddie and Eva were such a pleasure to work with and made my day so much more enjoyable. They are so much fun to be around and I loved how Eddie knows just the right things to say to make Eva's face light up! Their wedding took place at the gorgeous Hidden Meadows in Moses Lake, WA.

This couple was ready to do anything, and there was never any hesitation. I have to say a huge thank you to my lovely assistant Elvera who helped me out so much and also to my amazing husband who was able to make some of our awesome island rock pictures possible!  (there will be a little peek of how we got around ;) )  I hope you all enjoy these as much as I enjoyed capturing these!

We had a few unforeseen things get in the way of us not being able to go to different locations I had in mind to take more pictures, but it's a good thing we knew we had a whole day set aside for pictures the next day! For their second day shoot we decided to go to the beach in Seattle.  As we were leaving Moses Lake I told them just follow me and if you see me pulling over on the side of the road that means I spotted a place I want to take pictures at. We started at Vantage and by the time we got half way to Seattle it started pouring down rain, but they didn't seem to mind. We got soaked from head to toe, but it was all worth it! :) This will be a pretty large post since we started their wedding on Saturday in Moses Lake and ended it on Sunday in Seattle the next day!  POST 1 of 2 (second day coming soon)

I seriously loved every minute of their wedding day, it could not have gone any better! May God bless the rest of their life together as husband and wife.
