Sandy and Billy were married on a beautiful day at the Lake Union Yacht Club (formerly the Tyee Yacht Club). You can see the slideshow here!

The ISPWP (International Society of Professional Wedding Photographers) is another very cool organization.  Then they had a contest and I entered nine images and eight of them placed!

I think the critique of this image is funny. I thought it was cool that you could see the Space Needle on the left and I purposely shot the image so the Space Needle would be visible!

I was very happy to place in this category as I figured it would have the most entries and the most outstanding images.

I met Anna and her mom, Melissa, down at the Olympic Sculpture Park for her senior portraits.

One of the great things about photography is getting to know people. I met Steve Gehrig about four years ago when he officiated Jurgen & Kendra’s wedding. Then I photographed Steve’s daugther, Christy when she married Brian. Then I photographed Steve and Melissa’s wedding. Anna is Melissa’s daughter. See how that works. I also photographed Christy’s best friend, Jayme when she married Matt this last summer. Jayme and Christy also know Gwynna and Eric, who know Kate and Jon, as well as Karen and her husband Joe, all of whom were married this year. Cool!

And now for the photos and the end of my written drivel!

We went to Kelsey Creek Park in Bellevue last week and created some portraits of Missy, Kent and their beautiful boys!

Kelly and Nash had planned for a beautiful summer wedding at the Mukilteo Lighthouse. However, on the day of their wedding it rained…and rained…and then the weather got really bad and it started to rain sideways. So they moved the ceremony to the reception location at the last minute. And Nash’s car broke down on the way to the wedding. They still had a beautiful and heartfelt ceremony, just not the one they planned! So we went to the Mukiliteo Lighthouse for a set of fun photos on a beautiful Fall day!
