Jeremy & Sarah – Wedding

Reema — Mon, 04 Mar 2013 00:18:55 +0000

These are my good friends, Jeremy and Sarah. Two of the kindest, most generous, and all around fabulous people I’ve had the opportunity to meet. It seems like the year between their engagement and wedding flew by and before I knew it we were celebrating with them at Blue Ribbon Cooking School.

Alan & Joy – Wedding

Reema — Mon, 08 Oct 2012 05:30:27 +0000

It was by pure luck that I ended up at Alan and Joy’s wedding…though I’ve heard that there’s no such thing as luck – it is only preparation meeting the moment of opportunity. If that’s the case, I am beyond grateful that I was prepared to be met with an opportunity like this one. Even though I literally was introduced to Joy and her family the day of the wedding, I was welcomed with open arms and immediately felt like I was home. Thank you, Joy and Alan.

Venue: Urban Light Studios

Pat & Mandy – Wedding

Reema — Mon, 17 Sep 2012 04:11:41 +0000

There are no words for what this day was. There were pre-wedding dips in the lake, and horses, and chickens, and mac and cheese. Really good mac and cheese. Mandy and Pat, you two did everything right. So happy that I was able to be a part of it.

Venue: Brown Family Homestead

Alex & Valerie – Wedding

Reema — Thu, 15 Mar 2012 04:32:01 +0000

The weather prediction for February 25th, 2012 in Seattle called for rain, as usual. Instead of rain, Alex and Valerie had 4 hours of sun, and it couldn’t have been more perfectly timed. As they stood on the stage at The Great Hall at Greenlake, sun poured through the windows in front of them, casting a warm glow on their family and friends. It really could not have turned out any better. Thank you, Alex and Valerie, for allowing me to be a small part in your day.

Alex & Valerie – Engagement

Reema — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 06:28:21 +0000

Alex and Valerie met when they both joined their company’s bowling team. So of course when it came time for their engagement photos, we went back to where it all began; The Garage. Also fun fact – their apartment building used to be a Wonder Bread factory; super awesome.

Jeremy & Sarah – Engagement

Reema — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 01:19:00 +0000

Jeremy proposed to Sarah at the Seattle Aquarium (a scuba diver inside one of the tanks held up a sign to her, how ridiculously awesome is that??); so it was only fitting that we shot their engagement photos at the aquarium too.

Adam & Lizzie – Wedding

Reema — Sat, 11 Jun 2011 10:37:56 +0000

Adam and Lizzie were married on the edge of a bluff in Roche Harbor, where we could quite literally throw a rock and hit Canadian soil (alright, almost). It was by far one of the most beautiful places I have been, and the love that they have for each other combined with the overwhelming love and support from their family and friends was palpable in every moment. Thank you Adam and Lizzie for letting me be a part of your day.

Jeff & Selena – Wedding

Reema — Thu, 09 Jun 2011 18:50:34 +0000

Last year at a mutual friend’s wedding, I took a photo of Jeff and Selena right after he had given her a paper engagement ring for fun. Two months later, they were engaged for real. And now, they’re married.

The Fredericks

January asked me if we could do a Royal Tenenbaums inspired shoot; I think we did pretty well for ourselves. Interior shots at Kirk Albert Vintage Furnishings.

Jeff & Selena – Engagement

Reema — Sun, 05 Jun 2011 09:49:37 +0000

When it rains in Seattle (which is of course never), we have to get creative with locations. Thankfully, the SAM and Public Library are ridiculously awesome. Jeff & Selena, you guys rock.
