Jana + Alex | Engagement

Jana, Alex and I spent Sunday afternoon at the Ballard Locks and Golden Gardens. We were hoping for a bit of sun, but their fun laid back personalities more than made up for the clouds. They have great chemistry, so images came naturally. I know their wedding next June will be a lot of fun!

Justin + Morgan | Engagement

After a friend introduced Justin and Morgan their passion for Dave Matthews got them talking. As it turns out, they have a lot more in common than Dave Matthews tattoos. We spent a great Saturday afternoon at the University of Puget Sound and then headed down to the water for sunset. I'm looking forward to their wedding next summer!

OSPW Wedding Photography Conferance

I had the pleasure of attending Open Source Photo West's conferance last weekend in Seattle. California wedding photographers Gene Higa and Mike Larson were two of the many great speakers. We also spent a bit of time with some great models. It was pretty funny at times with 25+ photographers trying to photograph one person.

Holly & Clay | Tibbetts Creek Manor

Holly and Clay were married under snowy skies at Tibbetts Creek Manor. The guests were their very closest friends and family, about 30 people. There was a lot of emotion and these two are really sweet, which made for lots of great moments.

Capturing the Feeling of your wedding

Planning a wedding is all about the details. And there are so many! The invitations, favors, cake, flowers, table settings, dress, food and countless other things. All of these things make great photographs that show how beautiful your wedding looked! It's great to have colorful and fun photographs of all of those things that you put so much work into choosing! But so often the human details are overlooked. It's those little moments and gestures that can be so telling about what you wedding felt like! Great photography does more than show what something looked like, it shows what something FELT like. I just love this photograph of a bride and her closest friend in prayer just minutes be for she is married. Sometimes, the little things can say volumes!
