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.

Venue: Hidden Meadows Snohomish, WA

Photography: Kristen Honeycutt Photographer

Coordinator: Lindeman Weddings and Events

Officiant: Annemarie Juhlian

Meet Ben and Brittany. Aren’t they flippin’ cute?!

I had been dying to shoot in the SODO district.  I am so in love with the colorful walls, grungy industrial buildings, and city views.  It’s definitely one of my favorite Seattle neighborhoods, so I was stoked when Brittany and Ben gave the thumbs up.  Aside from having such sweet chemistry together, they were up for anything- two things that always make for great engagement pictures.

Brittany and Ben- thanks for such a fun afternoon.  I’m so looking forward to your summer wedding!

Cheers!

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!)

More coming soon…

1.  THE SHOES!  (naturally)  Because every bride deserves two pairs of fabulous footwear for the big day.

2.  The Purdue Groom’s cake that Heather had made for Todd.

3.  The bouquets- they were just so fresh and summery!

4.  Todd got each of his groomsmen a unique pair of cuff links.  Personalized gifts are rad.

5.  Personalized coozies for their guests, with their wedding date and a picture of a bride and groom.  SO cute, and they were a big hit at cocktail hour!

6.  The live band.  I looooove the energy of live entertainment.

7.  Heather and Todd- they lived in the moment and enjoyed every second of their amazing wedding day.

Heather and Todd, a BIG congratulations to you both.  It was such an honor to photograph your day.  All my best wishes to you!!
