Engagement sessions are the perfect chance for you two to do things you love on the regular; like making a little date night/day out of it, a trip to your favorite local getaway, or even just chilling together at home. It's a real window into your life together, your love style, and a celebration of that everyday love - and every bit as important as your wedding day memories. Like this West Seattle engagement session, look for ways to infuse your personalities into your photos.

Ashley + Lesley wanted the kind of photos that reflected their everyday love. And that meant starting out at Frankie + Jo's on Capitol Hill (their first date spot!), meandering over to Chophouse Row to sip some wine, then heading to Lincoln Park in West Seattle for a stroll through the woods and soaking up that sunset on the beach to complete their engagement session vibe.

We talked about life and love and realness, and I knew then that Lesley + Ashley are the kind of people who make it seem like the world's gonna be okay. This was a day that left me feeling inspired and fulfilled, and I hope these two walked away with the same feeling.

Also, ice cream.
