Some sessions just feel easy from the first minute, and Hailey and Montana’s engagement session at Mount Rainier was one of them.

By Lindsey Wickert | The Wickerts’ Photography | Vancouver, WA (Here’s us at our actual wedding on our wedding day in 2020, by the wonderful Missy Fant). There’s a moment that happens at almost every wedding we photograph. Usually somewhere between the ceremony ending and the reception beginning — that in-between stretch when the adrenaline […]

Hood River Lavender Farms | Hood River, Oregon Let’s just address it upfront: the sky was not cooperating.
