So in love with Jana and Todd’s engagement session in Seattle’s Arboretum, and SO excited for their wedding this summer.

(and how fantastic is that adorable vintage yellow bike?!)

Happy New Year!!!

What an amazing year!!!

I cannot believe 2011 has come to an end- I’m going to be dating things ’2011′ for at least 3 months while it all sets in.

I am incredibly thankful for all the blessings that came my way over the last 12 months. It was a whirlwind year for KHPC. I shot my 100th wedding this Fall (I cannot believe how quickly that milestone came!), found my pictures on the pages of both issues of Seattle Bride Magazine (and they put out some gorgeous issues this year!), and hit a new record for number of portraits/weddings photographed. I feel like I’ve finally found exactly who I am and who I want to be as a photographer, and finding my groove within that has been a fantastic feeling. But above all, I am so genuinely thankful for my clients. You have been so good to me. Thank you, thank you, thank you- you’ve encouraged me, you’ve shouted my name to your friends, and most importantly, you’ve shared with me precious milestones to you and yours- and for that, I am so grateful.

We also found out that we’re expecting baby Honeycutt V2.0 this March and the anticipation of adding another little boy to our family has be smiling from ear to ear. 2012 is already on course for plenty of new adventures of its own, and I am ready and waiting!

Despite my absence from the blog recently (I’m far too embarrassed to say exactly how long it’s been since my last blog post!), I have SO many sessions and weddings that I am dying to share with you here! I will do my best to keep them coming at you fast over the next few months, so pop back often- I’m so excited! I hope you all had an amazing holiday with the ones you love. Thank you for keeping up with my little corner of the internet, and I hope to see you in 2012!

Cheers!!

I cannot believe how busy this summer has been- and such a blast! I am over-the-moon-excited about all the weddings and families I have been able to photograph over these past few months. With a very full shooting schedule, comes restricted office hours, so THANK YOU SO MUCH for all your patience! My inbox piles up and my blog has been very neglected (eek!), but I promise- I have LOTS to share, and it will all be coming soon!! So thank you for bearing with me during these months, and thank you so much for your continued support! ‘Til next time, I’ll leave you with this- from Kaleena and Matt’s Bellingham wedding.

P.S. If you’re dying to see what’s new, hop on over to the FACEBOOK PAGE- I’m posting daily with contests, discounts, and lots of pretty pictures.

Hidden Meadows Wedding: Erica + Chris

Kristen Honeycutt — Thu, 21 Jul 2011 19:59:36 +0000

I’m going to borrow a little sunshine from Erica and Chris’s wedding to brighten up this drizzly day in Seattle. I loooove that gorgeous evening light.

More to come…

West Seattle Engagement Session: Amie + Cisco

Engagement session" src="http://kristenhoneycutt.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/900-3.jpg" alt="seattle wedding and portrait photographer kristen honeycutt" width="900" height="599" />

In between all the rain we’ve enjoyed this “summer”, we were gifted an amazing evening for Amie and Cisco’s engagement session on Alki. The light was divine, the beach was buzzing, and Amie and Cisco were adorable together. Seriously. Adorable.

They have such a natural and relaxed chemistry together, which always puts a big fat smile on my face. (and makes my job pretty easy too!) So as I was walking around with my big fat smile, I had such a wonderful evening chatting/laughing with these two.

And guess what- Cisco just won an Emmy! Seriously- like, gold statue Emmy. The Emmy. How fantastic is that?! The answer is almost as fantastic as Amie and Cisco’s reenactment of their proposal on Alki:

Love!!!

Could they look any happier??! (and there’s a lot more where this came from)

30′s Inspired Engagement Session in Pioneer Square: Kris and Kevin

Kristen Honeycutt — Tue, 05 Jul 2011 18:35:22 +0000

The first time I met Kris and Kevin, it took me no more than 2 minutes to know we would be a good fit. Our meeting (if I can call it that), was more like sitting down with old friends- full of excitement, laughter, and a touch of playful banter. Their chemistry is perfection- I am pretty sure just being in the same room together makes them both giddy. And when they said they wanted their engagement session to give a nod to that 1930′s style, I was over the moon. The engagement session is the PERFECT opportunity to think outside of the box, explore what you love, and have fun with your session. You don’t always need a bunch of props/extras- sometimes a well executed wardrobe and our beautiful city are just enough for the perfect evening with the one you love.

This week was a VERY busy shooting week for me- engagement sessions, family portraits, weddings, and more, and the sun (gasp!!!) even came out to play this week. Yay! Stand by, because I have so much to share with you, but for now, just one. I spotted this while I backing up, and had to quick share. The light was amazing, the breeze was perfection, and Tori and Brian kept me smiling. So lovely.

The First Dance

Kristen Honeycutt — Tue, 28 Jun 2011 18:23:55 +0000

I had to share a few frames from last weekend’s wedding in Eastern Washington. The advantage of having a slightly earlier reception (in Eastern Washington where the sun always shines), is that gorgeous evening glow to light your dance floor. I couldn’t have hand picked a prettier day.

Seattle Engagement Session: Kerry + Josh

Kristen Honeycutt — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 19:04:18 +0000

We hit up downtown Ballard for this engagement session (anything in close proximity to Trophy Cupcakes wins in my book!). Kerry and Josh are so full of energy and excitement. Our session was filled with running, jumping, and a whole lot of giggling. And between it all, I loved watching these two snuggle into each other-obviously so comfortable with the other by their side.

How cute is their fur baby???! *love*Kerry and Josh- thanks for sharing your evening with me! I am so SO excited for your wedding this September!
