at Discovery Park – we’d use the lighthouse as a fabulous backdrop right at sunset…

Imagine our surprise when we pulled into the parking lot to see the lighthouse

covered in construction tarps!!  Lucky for us, there was an old sailboat down the beach

and Katie was happy to tromp down there in her high-heeled boots. :)

Outdoor photo shoots during the winter in Seattle can be a little bit chilly (okay, let’s be

honest – it can be downright bone-chilling!) but the stormy weather made for some

nice, dramatic scenery this time around… and a little wind in the hair never hurts, either. :)

Congrats on your engagement, guys!

We loved the New England-y feel of this area at the top of the hill…

We caught a few more shots just after the sun went down in Ballard…
