Kristen Honeycutt — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 05:18:23 +0000

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?!)

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!!!

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.

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!

Seattle Engagement Session: Sarah and Nate

Kristen Honeycutt — Fri, 06 May 2011 18:33:38 +0000

Sarah and Nate are getting married tomorrow, so it only seems appropriate that your Friday eye candy is there cute engagement session at Gas Works Park in Seattle. Due to the unfortunate Spring weather we’ve been having, we had to reschedule their session more than once. But good things come to those who wait, and we scored with this AMAZING sunny day in Seattle. It also helps that these two are simply adorable together.

Happy weekend, and don’t forget to leave some good wished for the soon-to-be-newly-weds below.

Pike Place Engagement Session: Lindsay + Mike

Engagement session goodness for your Monday morning. I am loving the pops of spring color. Who’s ready for spring??!!

Seattle Night Portrait Session

Kristen Honeycutt — Tue, 08 Mar 2011 04:45:49 +0000

I had the itch to shoot at night- Seattle is such a pretty city all lit up after dark. I threw out a last minute call for volunteers on my facebook page, and Kelsey was the first one to dial my number. THANK YOU! I met Kelsey at her sister’s super fun wedding in Spokane, and I was so grateful that she and Mike offered up some time with me on such short notice. Thanks so much for everyone else that volunteered their time to model. And a big thanks to Meggie for being my extra set of hands for the shoot- couldn’t have done it without you. So here are few from their after dark session. Something a little different-I’m loving it!

Discovery Park Engagement Session: Jessica + Jeff

Kristen Honeycutt — Thu, 10 Feb 2011 10:09:20 +0000

So, it’s been a little while since I’ve blogged… eek!

There are long lists of sessions/weddings sitting beside my monitor, all waiting for their turn on the blog. So I hear you asking, “what’s your excuse for leaving us hanging, Kristen”. Well, I have a good one. A really good one. Actually, a few. Let me explain.

1. It is definitely wedding booking season. My 2011 wedding calendar is quickly approaching FULL. I have had SO many meetings the last few weeks, so I’ve been spending a large amount of time away from my desk and out meeting everyone. (I know, my job rocks.) I am OVER THE MOON excited about my 2011 engaged couples. Seriously- I am in love. They have some of the sweetest love stories, adorable chemistry, and they are an all-around rad bunch of people.

2. I am working on some VERY exciting changes for Kristen Honeycutt Photographer. New products, new branding (more about that coming soon!), new equipment, new work flow, and the list goes ON AND ON. I am really pushing myself and my business to another level this year and I am dying in anticipation of what’s to come.

3. This one’s completely selfish- I am soaking up the ‘off season’. Six months of the year are a blur for me, and when you have a 1 year old, it’s pretty shocking how things change over a summer. I am loving a little extra time with my two favorite men, and I’m making good use of our play time (more on this coming soon too!).

So let’s kick this off with a peek at one of my new products- Custom Letter Storyboards.

They are 10×20″ and available as a photo standout or gallery wrapped canvas. Colors/text are customizable, and you can choose your favorite images. There are so many fun options, including a wedding-date version (so he’ll always remember your anniversary!).

This one features a few of Jessica and Jeff- one of my super rad 2011 wedding couples- which also creates the perfect opportunity to share their engagement session with you!

Jessica and Jeff are all kinds of awesome. We hit it off right away, and after all the fun we had at their engagement session, I have to fight the urge to call them for happy hour every week.
