autumn in seattle is seriously breathtaking. 

late last fall, hannah + nate took us wandering around downtown for their engagement session, where nate proposed.  since we had plenty of time left over, i was able to convince them to change up location to where they first met, northshore junior high.  i always recommend  couples to pick locations that are sentimental to their relationship. at first they were relectant, since it's hard to think of your old junior high school as "romantic" or "pretty."  however,  as i predicted, we ended up getting some of my favorite images of the day at the school.  sure, the building itself wasn't all that interesting, but the vibrant and rich colors from the autumn leaves that were all over the campus ended up adding that romantic atmosphere to the images.  it just goes to show that you don't need the typical prettiness to make a pretty photo.

see you soon at your wedding in may!
