Bybee Blueberry Farm
08.05.2008I recently photographed the inaugural wedding at the Bybee Blueberry Farm in North Bend, Washington. It's an incredible wedding location. The farm is literally sitting at the base of Mount Si. Quite appropriately, the bride and groom are part of the family business. Congratulations Kelli and Tom, thanks for having me be part of your wedding day.
Yosemite: Evergreen Lodge
07.15.2008I love this couple. Actually, I love every couple I work with, but this couple brought me along to their wedding in Yosemite, and it was incredible. Congratulations Heather and Peter!
It got started on Friday. I flew in to Sacramento and drove out to Evergreen Lodge in Yosemite. The sky was filled with smoke from forest fires (which made for great lighting). I arrived in time for the rehearsal dinner BBQ, and I got a chance to meet and mingle with the guests.
On Saturday the wedding was later in the day so all the guests went hiking/swimming/etc during the day. I hiked up to Carlon Falls to take some pictures and go for a swim. Later that afternoon the wedding got started, and it was an extraordinary event. Here are some pictures:

07.07.2008I had the pleasure of joining Karen & Aaron in Leavenworth at Mountain Springs Lodge for their wedding. It was a gorgeous location, and the couple was super fun to work with. Here are a few images from their wedding.
Beau Lodge - Jessica & Josh
06.24.2008My wife and I were guests at a friends wedding the other weekend at Beau Lodge just south of Bellingham. We had a great time enjoying the wedding festivities sans the photographer responsibilities. I still took a few pictures ;)
Gas Works Park Engagement Session
06.08.2008Here are some pictures from an engagement shoot I had at Gas Works Park earlier this week. We had a great time exploring the park just before it got dark on a cloudy weekday evening.
Olympic Sculpture Park Engagement Session
05.26.2008This weekend I had an engagement shoot at the Olympic Sculpture Park in Seattle. It was a gorgeous day, and we had a great time wandering around the park and dodging the security guards (they stopped by to make sure we didn't touch or lean against the art). I'm looking forward to the wedding next month.
Clara & Paul - Stimson-Green Mansion
09.16.2007Clara and Paul had an elegant evening wedding at the Stimson-Green Mansion in Seattle, Washington. Coincidentally, I met the couple last summer in the lobby of the Sorrento Hotel while shooting another wedding.
The bride and groom were really sweet to each other and they were a lot of fun to photograph. They make a very classy pair and I wish them the best in the years ahead.
Eva & David - Discovery Park
09.08.2007Eva and David had an intimate ceremony at Discovery Park in Seattle, WA. They invited a handful of family and friends and were married on a warm sunny afternoon.
Jodie & William - Columbia Gorge Hotel
09.06.2007Jodie and William were married at the Columbia Gorge Hotel in Hood River Oregon. The hotel is a romantic setting high above the Columbia River, and is "consistently ranked as one of the top 10 places in America to get hitched." Jodie and William are very sweet together and we really enjoyed photographing their wedding.
Jesi & Ross - South Bay Bed and Breakfast
08.28.2007Jesi and Ross were married at South Bay Bed and Breakfast near Bellingham, Washington. Both avid mountaineers, the bride and groom carried this theme throughout their wedding. A Celtic band played at the reception, and extraordinary dancing ensued.
Vanessa & Chris - Cornelius Pass Roadhouse
08.08.2007Vanessa & Chris tied the knot at McMenamins Cornelius Pass Roadhouse last weekend. We went to college with both of them. Lindsey and Vanessa lived in the dorms together, and Chris played football. It's been a number of years since we've seen them. We had a great time catching up on such a happy occasion.
