Matt and Amy’s wedding at the Lake Union Cafe here in Seattle was seriously one of the most fun weddings I’ve been to, as a photographer or not. When they came in for their initial consult and talked about how they wanted their day to be one of celebration and fun with their family and friends, I was already a fan! And they fully succeeded at making the day just that. No wedding party, no bouquet or garter toss. Just simple and sweet with the emphasis on their oh-so-awesome relationship and on how much they enjoy the people around them. I could just see that everyone was having a rocking good time. Sooooo very cool!

I think their December day was the sunniest, most beautiful day of the month (perhaps the nicest day Seattle’s EVER had in December) and we had an awesome portrait time downtown just before and after sunset. ‘Twas amazing!

For more viewing fun, take a peek at their engagement session.

Lyndsay and Kelly had a fabulous day for a fall wedding in Seattle.  The skies weren’t so dark that they didn’t provide some nice light and the rain held off until all were safely inside at the Palace Ballroom.  Even without the rain, we still snuck in some fun shots with the vintage umbrellas Lyndsay picked out to add some umph to the portraits.  I got to work again with Matthew of Flowertoss to capture this wonderful day and to see the love and support of two families come together to celebrate Lyndsay and Kelly’s beautiful relationship!

Today’s post brings us to the beautiful end-of-summer wedding of Stacy and Andrew. These two love each other so much and are so great together. I never get over how radiant a woman becomes on her wedding day, and Stacy was no exception! Her Cat-in-the-Hat-type vows win the most creative contest, and Andrew wins as the most secure in his manhood being the one who teared up during the ceremony. It was the sweetest thing EVER. ‘Twas a great day!

One weekend this summer I photographed a couple weddings with Matthew of Flowertoss and it was a grand time! Katie and Jeremy’s day was splendid with plenty of sunshine and color at a Kensington Gardens, a quaint little venue in Gig Harbor.

I was so excited to be invited to Australia to photograph Nicole and Trent’s wedding day! It was my first time Down Under and so I jumped at the chance to escape Seattle for some sunshine on Australia’s Gold Coast. They rented this great holiday house which made for a perfect intimate setting on their wedding day and place to hang out by the pool in the days before the big day. They are great friends and it was a wonderful time spent with them.

USA, meet England. England, meet USA. You’ve met before but you’ll like each other more this time, I promise! You might even fall in love.

Er, so that’s how I imagine fate would have introduced Chrissie and Jeremy, though you might not guess which one’s English as neither one have an accent! I’ve known Chrissie since she first came to American soil years ago and was lucky enough to be the photographer she and Jeremy chose to capture their special day. It was a great day! Take a look…

The next three photos are from my assistant, Adam Kennedy. Yes, it does appear a photographic eye runs in the family. :)
