Zach and Sarah’s Downtown Seattle Session

Seattle Engagement Photographer

Sarah and Zach are recent transplants to Seattle. They moved to Seattle from Wisconsin (by way of Kansas City) in fierce pursuit of following their dreams. Zach works for Amazon and has worked his way up in the company and that tenacity brought them to the PNW. Sarah is a nurse and specializes in electrophysiology. I know, impressive! But in case you don’t know what that means, she works in the cardiac field. That’s right, not only is this power couple good looking but super smart too! We had a blast with them during their downtown Seattle photo session!

Because they are new to the city, it made perfect sense to make our rounds to all of the most famous locations Seattle has to offer. I referred to this session as the “spirit of Seattle” session in my head as we planned it. It was really inspiring to be able to explore all of the most popular locations while still finding hidden gems or new perspectives. It was sort of like a celebration of the city and it’s newest power couple!

Zach and I loved our time with Zach and Sarah. We walked for miles but we didn’t notice because we were having such a good time! We can’t wait to cheer them on as they continue life in Seattle! And if you’d like to cheer them on too, be sure to check out Sarah’s blog, Que Sera Sarah (cutest blog name ever) for all of the best travel, health and beauty tips!
