When first chatting with Rachel and Joe about their ideas for their engagement session we were talking about heading up to Mount Rainier. Or maybe traveling some far distance to find an awesome pacific northwest location. But then Rachel & Joe discovered Lincoln Park in West Seattle! It was exactly what we had been searching for with that beautiful Pacific Northwest feel. We met up there and spent the next hour wandering through trails, getting to know each other, laughing at strange looking dogs and all sorts of other things! These two are so adorable together and in love that I hardly had to pose them as they naturally snuggled up together. After a while we drove down to the beach for a few minutes before heading over to finish up at Alki beach! I loved their willingness to be adventurous and hang around with me till it started to get dark to get some night shots. I am so excited for their upcoming wedding!
