Bellingham Washington Wedding and Portrait Photographer Courtney Bowlden

Within the last couple months my family has gotten to know and LOVE these two. My husband works with Thao, and has become close friends with him. The first time we all met, we made egg rolls at my house. And let me tell you, they were truly AMAZING! The best egg rolls I have ever had in my entire life.

Thao and Trang have been married for a little over a year, but never got any wedding or engagement pictures, so I offered to take some of them. Even though it was cold, overcast and starting to rain, we had fun. Dont they have gorgeous skin?!

This was a fun engagement session. Dan and Charel love to laugh and joke with each other, which made it incredibly easy to photograph them. Dan grew up in Seattle and showed me around the town a bit. I love the city and all the gorgeous views. Not to mention, it makes for a great backdrop! We got so lucky with the weather too! It actually started getting a bit warm (and my truck which I drove home didnt have A/C). Thanks for hanging in there with me, guys! I cant wait for July! Your wedding is going to be a blast!

I met Melanie a couple years ago, right when she started dating Chris. I was so happy to hear that they were getting engaged, because I really love them both. They are the nicest people! If you know them, you would be so lucky. They are genuine, real, kind and honest. I feel so incredibly lucky to know them and to call them my friends. I feel so honored they have asked me to capture them on their special day. Here is their engagement session we had Sunday.
