Megan and Hari were married last year, mid-pandemic, with only their officiant and a camera on a tripod as their witnesses. They were thrilled to be wed but really missed having their families there. So they planned the most thoughtful celebration for their one-year anniversary. Hari’s parents hosted the event in their back yard, and…
It’s wild to think that two whole years have passed since I last photographed Jennifer and Gary for their engagement session up in Seattle.
