08.21.2009

Here are some pictures from Katie & Josh's wedding at Bybee Nims Blueberry Farm in North Bend, Washington. The location is quickly becoming one of my favorite wedding venues. The view is stunning and outdoor locations like this make for relaxed people who have a great time.

Congratulations Katie & Josh!

Courtney + Greg @ First Lutheran + Fircrest Golf

07.26.2009

Here are pictures from Courtney and Greg's wedding a couple weeks ago. It was a special wedding for me because I had previously photographed the groom's sister and the bride's sister at their weddings. It was a treat to see so many familiar faces. The wedding was at First Lutheran just across from Wright Park. The reception was at Fircrest Golf Club.

Congratulations you two, you're a beautiful couple!

North Bend - Emily & Matt

07.02.2009

Last weekend I got to shoot a really cool wedding in North Bend. The couple had the wedding outdoors at the bride's parent's house. Sitting at the base of Mt. Si surrounded by forest, the wedding had a very northwest feel. Everyone had a great time and the party stretched late into the evening.

Congrats Emily and Matt. Thanks for having me at your wedding.

Fairgate Inn - Kelly & Ryan

06.26.2009

Last weekend Lindsey and I shot a wedding for some friends of ours at the Fairgate Inn in Camas, Washington. The bride and I went to school together growing up, and the groom went to college with Lindsey and me. We got to see lots of our old friends, and had a great time taking pictures. Congratulations Kelly & Ryan, you guys make a stunning couple and we wish you much happiness in the years ahead.

Golden Gardens Park - Alec + Jeremy

06.04.2009

I had a great shoot the other weekend at Golden Gardens Park in Seattle, Washington. The bride and groom were super cool people, as were all the guests. It felt like I spent the whole day hanging out with friends at the beach, which made for some awesome images.

This is the first time I've shot inside the Bathhouse at Golden Gardens. The light is absolutely stunning inside, and it was a nice retreat after spending a few hours in the sun.

Kilworth Chapel - Jennifer & David

05.16.2009

Here are a few wedding photos from Jennifer & David's wedding. They had their wedding and reception at Kilworth Chapel on the University of Puget Sound campus, in Tacoma, Washington.

Beau Lodge - Jennifer & Matthew

09.27.2008

I was up in the Bellingham area a couple weeks ago to photograph Jennifer & Matthew's wedding. I've been to Beau Lodge a couple times now and I really like the venue. There are so many great backgrounds for shooting all close to the lodge. Jennifer & Matthew you guys were great to work with, thanks for choosing me as your photographer!

Bybee Blueberry Farm

08.05.2008

I 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

07.15.2008

I 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:

Mountain Springs Lodge - Karen & Aaron

Olympic Sculpture Park Engagement Session

05.26.2008

This 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.

Stimson-Green Mansion - Clara & Paul

09.16.2007

Clara 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.

Jodie 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.

South Bay Bed and Breakfast - Jesi & Ross

08.08.2007

Vanessa & 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.

Bethany Vineyard - Emily & Drew

07.30.2007

Emily and Drew had a totally rad wedding. The ceremony and reception were at Bethany Vineyards in Ridgefield, Washington. It was a gorgeous day with a bride and groom to match.

Drew and I were buddies in High School and used to ride mountain bikes together. We met Emily at another friends wedding we photographed last January up at the Silcox Hut on Mount Hood. Emily and Drew are incredibly sweet people, and we're so happy they found each other.

Seattle Tennis Club - Monique & Travis

05.28.2007

The whole wedding day went very smoothly. It was planned/coordinated by Katy Griffiths with VOWS Wedding Planning & Design.

Monique and Travis looked like they were having a great time. They were really cute together, and were a fun pair to photograph.

Our Son Is Born!

03.28.2007

Lindsey and I are parents! Last Thursday our son, Avery, was born. He weighed 8 pounds 13 ounces and was 20 inches long. This last week has been magical for both Lindsey and I. We've managed to take a few pictures along the way ;)

Right after Avery came out the surgeon put him over the curtain so Mommy and I could see him. The moment only lasted a second, and through all the tears this blurry image is pretty much how we remember it.

The Golf Club at Newcastle - Misty & Chris

01.28.2007

Misty & Chris picked the perfect day in January to have a wedding at Newcastle. No rain. No snow. Not a cloud in the sky. It was spectacular.

Ron Henry, one of Seattle's most talented photographers joined me. Thanks for coming out Ron!

The Majestic - Kayla & John

01.14.2007

Yesterday I shot my first wedding for 2007. Outside it was only 29 degrees and ice covered the streets and sidewalks of Bellingham. Inside, the Majestic was filled with twinkling lights and the warmth of family and friends. It was a great celebration.
