The wedding dress hanging in the door of the bridal suite at Willows

These are beautiful kissing balls hanging from the outdoor wedding location at Willows Lodge

Eric waits for Heather in the garden at Willows

Willows Lodge is next door to Red Hook Brewery. Heather, Eric and I walked over there for a few portraits. Very fun.

Here is Eric and his groomsmen. I love my 24L (that's a lens).

Willows has this huge, cool tree stump thing out in front of the lodge. I wanted to get the whole thing with the blue sky and sun, but that left Heather and Eric in almost complete darkness, so I pulled out my handy dandy remote flash and brightened them up a bit. Very fun!

The centerpieces were cool. I like it when they figure out how to make something cool and decorative and at the same time let the guests see the other side of the table.

It is a pet project of mine to take interesting images of the glassware that is always sitting around at weddings.

This is the gardens at Willows during the wedding ceremony

Sneha & Tarak doing the Bruno pose!

Sneha cracks up at something Tarak said. This happened a lot with them!

Sneha and Tarak were married on the 13th, so we took a gook luck photo to illustrate it!

I caught this image of a mother holder her daughter's stuffed animal - this is an Ugly Doll for those of you without children!

Tarak's family paraded down a side street with the assistance of DJ Rocky and his portable in-truck setup.

Sneha's family came out to greet Tarak and his family and join them in the dancing.

Annie's shoes

The wedding location at cedarbrook conference center

Annie sees her fabulous groom

Annie and Ryan held hands as we rode the elevator.

The wedding party in the lobby of Cedarbrook

The fabulous groom and his equally fabulous best man.

The amazing bride and her entourage.

Ryan and Annie in a previously posted portrait. This image was taken outdoor in full sunlight with a hard, direct flash and then processed with a texture to give the sky some cool looking detail.

Annie, rebel that she is, standing on a table for a portrait. Standing on the table gave a cooler view and less cluttered background.

Annie is doing her best to stuff the ring onto Ryan's finger, but the heat made his fingers swell!

A candid portrait of Annie as she talks to a guest.

Annie and Ryan's first Karaoke as husband and wife!

Krissy and Chris started out at the W Hotel in Seattle

Krissy and the dress

I love Chris' expression when he sees Krissy for the first time in the dress

Krissy and Chris at the bar of the W hotel

Anyone that reads the blog on a regular basis (I think there are a few out there) know that I love hands. I think hands tell stories and I love this story.

Krissy channeling her inner model.

Chris channeling his inner model.

Here is the happy couple in the alley behind the W hotel.

I like this detail image of the bouquet.

Krissy wanted a portrait that stopped traffic!

Here is Krissy looking out the window of the car.

I found this old parking garage behind the Palace Ballroom and thought it would be perfect for the bridal party portrait

The incomparable Chris

I set up a flash to highlight the very cool wedding cake.

Here is the hands thing again. You can see the suppressed excitement.

The hands of the talented Sean Paul, local cellist.

Here is a candid image of Krissy as she is waiting for the wedding to start in the back room of the Palace.

I love how this image captures the pools of light that were around during the wedding.

Krissy and Chris kiss to seal the deal. The blue color in the background is from the daylight peaking through the curtains.

I thought this was so cool. Each table had an appetizer fondue!

I don't know what was going on, but I thought this moment was hilarious.

This is Krissy and Chris' first dance.

Here is a Corona all lit up

This image was taken at the top of the Bellevue Square parking garage.

I liked this image. The texture comes from shooting through a chain link fence.

This was my favorite image of Ryan that I took that day. I like the lines of the fence, posts, and his shoulders.

Right in the middle of Bellevue, there is a Safeway that is going to be demolished soon. Perfect spot for a portrait!
