~Happy New Year!~

This year has FLOWN by so fast! I wish I had time to write a whole 2012 in review, but I don't lol.  

Finished up my last wedding of 2012 last night, it was AMAZING and so very full of love!! Can't wait to share all of the details with you guys.  

One of my main goals for 2013 is to catch up on blogging my weddings, shoots, and stay on top of things.  Now that I have done 22 weddings this year, there is a LOT to catch up on.

2012 was an AMAZING year for SBTN, and I can't wait to see what is in store for my little business in 2013!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

~Vintage Picnic Styled Engagement Session by SBTN (me!) and photographed by Simply Sonja Photography~

I have been super excited to share this styled shoot of real couple Lindsay and Jason.

My good friend and talented wedding photographer Simply Sonja Photography and I teamed up for this "Vintage Love Birds" picnic e-session.

Thanks to the oh-so-talented Honey Crumb Cake Studio for the cake (YUM!) and to Vintage Ambiance for the fun treasures. . .

Meet the love birds: Lindsey and Jason.  

When Sonja came to me for this shoot I had no idea that I actually knew Lindsey! Lol we both went to the same middle school and high school, what a small world!

When styling this session, I told them to wear relaxed vintage type clothing, and sent my inspiration board to them. They nailed it perfectly!

This shoot took place under an amazing tree at Discovery Park (funny enough this is the same location my husband and I had our engagement shoot!) Such a fun spot!

Aren't these chairs amazing?! Vintage Ambiance has some great items, love this shot!

We knew we wanted BIG balloons, thanks Sonja for picking them up!!!

Flowers: I had picked up a few bundles of flowers that morning from the local farmer's market in Issaquah.  LOVE the bright hues!

Honey Crumb Cake Studio and her adorable cake!

The "story" was that Jason had a secret picnic planned for Lindsey . . .

He gave her flowers, and led her to the spot!

Peek!

(Aren't her eyes just gorgeous?!)

I made the "Love Birds" letters, and we used a stick that we found to hold them:

Then we made it down the street to the beach . . .

So cute, right?!

Oh my goodness I simply can't wait to share more of these with you all soon!

On Saturday Simply Sonja Photography and I did a FIVE HOUR engagement shoot at Discovery Park in Seattle.  Such a gorgeous day for this, and such a cute couple! Lindsay and Jason won an engagement shoot with Sonja, and her and I have been talking forever about styling a shoot, so it was perfect!

So funny, as I was emailing Lindsay the bride to see how she felt about my vision, and to learn more about them to incorporate who they are into the shoot . . . turns out we went to the same middle school and high school! Such a small world, right?!

You could totally tell that these two are madly in love, and Jason was SUCH a trooper the whole shoot.  They are truly a fabulous couple!

Anywho can't wait to tell and show more, for now this shall tide you over:

Also special thanks to:

Honey Crumb Cake Studio

(for the adorable yellow mini cake with sugar flower!)
