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…

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

More from Brittany and Ben’s Seattle wedding coming soon…

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.

Nothing wrong with a little rain on your wedding day.

One more day… and the first look.

Kristen Honeycutt — Thu, 12 May 2011 18:38:51 +0000

Just one more day! Tomorrow, I’ll have a sparkly new website and blog- just for you! Yay!

So first, I think I need to announce who’s getting the $100 gift card to KHP…

drumroll….

Comment #13- Lisa -” I would love to use the $100 Gift Card for an Engagement session. I’m not engaged yet…but those are just minor details that could be figured out later! ”

Lisa, shoot me an email with your mailing address, and I’ll send you out a pretty little gift card for $100.

And on that note, how about ANOTHER GIVE-AWAY for today? Yes?? Well, okay.

Tomorrow morning, I’ll be giving away a 16×20 canvas (a $200 value) to one delightful comment-er. Just leave a comment on this blog post, telling me your favorite part of a wedding. The shoes, the vows, the toasts, or the bar- whatever you love about weddings! And if you haven’t already, make sure you LIKE the facebook page.

And I can’t leave you without any pictures, so please enjoy this sweet ‘first sight’ from last Saturday’s wedding at The Edgewater hotel. How happy do they look?! Makes me tear up just looking through these. awwwwwww.

Hidden Meadows Wedding: Karin + Ryan

Kristen Honeycutt — Wed, 11 May 2011 19:12:29 +0000

TWO DAYS until the new website launches! Yipee!! I’m so excited that I think I need to give something away. SO, why not a $100 gift card for Kristen Honeycutt Photo Co.? Fabulous. To enter, leave a comment below telling me how you’d use your $100 KHP gift card, go and LIKE Kristen Honeycutt Photographer on Facebook, and I’ll draw a winner tomorrow. All comments must be made by 9AM Seattle time Thursday (tomorrow) morning. Sounds good? Good!

And here is a lovely winter wedding at Hidden Meadows. LOVED all the thoughtful details of this one. How cute are the custom wedding party T-shirts they made for their bridal party??! And that green, black, and white color palette feels so clean and crisp.

Karin and Ryan, so were SO much fun to work with. I have the biggest smile on my face looking through these pictures now. It was such a fun day. And remember those CRAZY CAM pics?! Perfection.

Seattle Wedding at The Edgewater Hotel: Tiffany + Grant

Kristen Honeycutt — Mon, 11 Apr 2011 18:30:32 +0000

I’m a girl who appreciates a little sparkle, so I absolutely loved all the glittery details from Tiffany and Grant’s wedding. It was pouring outside, but the inside was gleaming with all the delightful touches of silver and gold perfection. Sparkly monograms, gold Toms, slip-covered chairs, and thoughtful touches of bling throughout.

Yes, please.

And can I just add that I adore a good exit! Sparklers, confetti, rose petals, or streamers- why not go out with a bang?! It’s your wedding day after all. LOVE!

…and I’m going to just leave you guessing about the green pants Grant is holding. Definitely one of my top 5 favorite speeches.

Craven Farm DIY Wedding: Eva + Trevor | Snohomish, WA

Kristen Honeycutt — Tue, 11 Jan 2011 08:45:03 +0000

When Eva first contacted me a full 15 months before her wedding date, I knew I would love working with her. Eva is one of the most joyful people I’ve met. She has a passion for live, and boy, does she love her man!

Over the next year, I loved getting emails from her updating me on all the wedding plans. One week she was making chalkboards. The next week she was collecting vintage handkerchiefs for her guests’ tears of joy. The next week she was gathering tea cups and blue glass vases. The following, she was personalizing a set of converse sneakers for each of Trevor’s groomsmen with their names across the side. Did I mention she made personalized hangers for each of her bridesmaids to hang their dress with? I don’t know where in the world she found the energy/creativity/drive, but this girl worked her tail off to put together one of the most adorable DIY weddings I’ve seen.

The walls of the reception were lined with old photos of friends/family- strung with clothes pins. The tables were adorned with Frost Doughnuts, for a non-traditional and OH SO YUMMY wedding dessert. Hand painted signs on old wood directed guests to the food, beverage, and yes, even ‘the loo’. And amidst all the thoughtful and labor-intensive decor, love was so very present. Happy tears flowed throughout the day, and their smiles never stopped beaming.

Eva and Trevor- I am SO INCREDIBLY happy for you two. I cannot wait to see what great treasures life has in store for your sweet family. I’m so lucky to have had the chance to celebrate with you that day.

For more pictures, and a little more from Eva’s perspective, check out the 2011 Spring/Summer issue of Seattle Bride Magazine. On shelves now.

Seattle Wedding Photographer: A year in review

Kristen Honeycutt — Thu, 06 Jan 2011 18:30:56 +0000

Wow. 2010 was an amazing year. I can’t even begin to describe how lucky I feel to be doing something I love. Weekend after weekend, I went to joyful celebrations (and rockin’ parties!), all in the name of LOVE.

To my 2010 Brides and Grooms-

I am so deeply honored and excited to have witnessed it all. The speeches, the vows, the laughter, and your crazy aunt on the dance floor. I can’t believe the weddings this year- oh, how I loved seeing bits and pieces of who you are incorporated into your day. But most of all, I feel so blessed that you chose me to document those memories for you. I know you have a large selection when it comes to photographers, and I thank you for trusting me with such an important task. I don’t know how I am so lucky to work with such rad couples. Seriously. THANK YOU. You rock.

To my 2010 Portrait Clients-

Where do I begin? You’ve invited me into your homes, let me play with your kids, cuddle your babies, and laugh with your family. I am giddy with excitement to see how your kiddos have grown with each mile stone. Some of you are on your 5th, 6th and 7th portrait sessions with me, and I am SO INCREDIBLY GRATEFUL for your loyalty over these past few years. You’ve passed my name to your best friends and family, and there is just no greater compliment than that. I am SO THANKFUL for your support.

Thank you all for your emails, your blog comments, your FB posts. I am looking forward to another year of fun!

SO, this post took me FOREVER to put together. It was agonizing to choose only one image from each wedding, and I was easily derailed- sifting through your images and smiling at the fun you had. So I’ve decided that if I’m going to spend a million years on one blog post, I had better give away some free stuff! SO, here’s the deal-

Vote for your favorite image by leaving a comment on this post with the image number. The image with the most votes has a $300 GIFT CARD going to it’s corresponding Bride and Groom. Use it towards your wedding album, prints, or a future portrait session. And I can’t let the newlyweds have all the fun, so one of the voters is going to win a $100 GIFT CARD too! I’ll use a random number picker to choose the comment winner- so make sure you use a legit email. Voting ends 1/13 at midnight, Seattle time. One vote per person, please.

And if you haven’t all ready, march on over to the FACEBOOK PAGE and become a fan so you never miss another opportunity to win! (And because I love to hear from you!)
