Carmen and Joe | Washington Wedding Portraits

Carmen and Joe | Washington Wedding Portraits

Carmen and Joe met in Switzerland while they were both studying abroad from the same school in Washington. She’s now in the US Navy stationed in Japan. He works for an international hotel company and is on the road hundreds of days out of the year. Travel isn’t just for fun – it’s a way of life for these two. For that reason, I never got to meet them until I photographed their wedding on the last weekend of December. However, I did get to spend the entire next day with them alone, exploring the beauty of Seattle and the forests in Northern Washington, helping Carmen get back into her wedding dress in a campground bathroom, chasing sunlight and snow and mist. Adventures. Their wedding was beautiful and special and I’ll hopefully share it at some other point if I get the chance. But this day-after session was perfectly THEM. Wandering and playing and exploring. So I’m posting it first. Congratulations you two
