Meet Zack & Katie–two of the most positive, funny, creative, and easy-going people we know. They love animals, share our affinity for good food and wine, and never turn down a friendly board game challenge. We first met them two years ago at Kristin & Justin’s wedding, but have since photographed the weddings of their friends Sarah & Derek and Allison & Tyler, so our paths have crossed on several occasions.

I actually remember the moment that I found out they were engaged—Gerald & I were playing Frisbee golf with my brother at Marymoor Park in Redmond. Zack’s email pinged my inbox, and I called him right away. A little over an hour later, I knew that we had just gained two new friends and we simply HAD to photograph their wedding in Chicago. Apparently they knew it was a perfect fit as well, because right after our first meeting (before they even booked us) Katie emailed me to set up a game night. J

They’ve since become great friends and when they told us that we could pick the spot for their engagement session, I knew that Marymoor had to be on the list. We’d also had our eye on a really cool run-down barn in Fall City, so we decided that it would be the perfect place to finish their photoshoot. We had such a fun afternoon together, and absolutely adore these photos of Zack & Katie.

Zack & Katie, thank you for your gift of friendship and for deciding to bring us all the way to Wheaton, IL to photograph your wedding. We are so happy for you and can’t wait for June to arrive!
