I photographed Karen and Tim up in the Skagit Valley tulips fields recently and loved the contrast between the beautiful colors of the flowers and the black and white of the bride and groom. It called out to me that it needed to be a panorama. Sometimes you just can not get wide enough with a normal camera.

Caroline's shoes are ready to be put on.

Caroline Sarkis and Randy Najera were married on August 1st at the Georgetown Studios on one of the hottest days of the summer. I met with her in her Queen Anne apartment as she was getting ready. Then we hopped in the limo over to Kerry Park for Randy to get his first look of Caroline in her dress before the wedding. Then back to the apartment for finishing touches and then on to Georgetown Studios for the main event. The Georgetown Studios are a great place for a wedding with all of that brilliant light streaming through the windows making it easy to shoot without flash. I am just going to let the photos tell the story from here. Enjoy.

I had photographed Mollie and Justin's engagement in the Seattle Arboretum last year and we had a good time walking around making pictures there and it was fun working with them. Months later then I again had a great time photographing their wedding at Willows Lodge in Woodinville, WA The garden at the Willows Lodge, which is just across from the famous Herb Farm restaurant, is a great location for an outdoor wedding and the ballroom perfect for a reception. Mollie and Justin had a warm, and wonderful wedding there. The wedding ceremony was in the gazebo which was really stunning and was adorned by a beautiful floral arrangement. I like shooting weddings there because there are so many places to go off and do pictures with different backgrounds. The panorama large group portrait was easy to do there as well. I will post it sometime later. Here are some selected highlights and a web gallery with some more just below.

Mollie and Justin asked me to shoot them with this sign for the thank you card they were planning to send out to their guests.

The weather on June 19th was kind of overcast, which I like as it gives an even soft light which can be flattering for pictures of a couple on their wedding day. What concerned me was the high probability of rain in the forecast since Derrick Casey and Maria Holsman were getting married in an outdoor ceremony at Kubota Garden and I was not aware of a backup plan in case it turned out to be pouring rain at the anointed hour. Fortuitously it never did rain despite the forecast and the day turned out well. We had great light and made some beautiful pictures from the ceremony and afterwards when we walked around and shot some portraits around the garden before heading out for the reception at the Uptown Hideaway on lower Queen Anne. One of the interesting aspects of their wedding was Derrick and his groomsmen all carried swords. Not sure which legion of swordsmen they belonged to but it made for an interesting wedding party portrait with the swords all unsheathed on a red bridge in the garden.

Above, Maria and her dad just before they waled down the aisle. Here are  some of my favorite pictures  from the wedding along with a mini web gallery below, at the bottom after these highlights.

I really love this picture of Maria cracking up as we did some bridal portraits. I also really like the two just below of Maria and her bridesmaids outside the Uptown Hideaway. Because of the sloe of the hill it creates an illusion of Maria being much taller than all of the others in the first shot and the exactly the same height as the otheres in the next one.

I have been getting asked if I have ever photographed an Indian wedding before and so I though I would post a few of the photographs from Eshwar and Nafisa' wedding here. They were married back in 2004 and they flew me over to Bangalore, India to cover their celebration I had photographed a few Indian weddings before but this was my first real Indian wedding to photograph in India. it was awesome. There were festivities to cover for more than 4 days. And when I was not photographing the festivities, I went out on the streets of Bangalore to witness and photograph the life of that great city. It was an unforgetable trip.
 

I was still shooting film back then for weddings and shot more than 75 rolls of the wedidng, perhaps 2/3rds in black and white and the rest in color. I made the above candid wedding photograph with the panorama camera and really like this photo. the two below were also made with the same large format camera and are of the family of the bride and groom and the bottom was taken in Seatle where they had a second Moslem ceremony.  Photographs by Seattle wedding photographer Daniel Sheehan at A Beautiful Day Photography.
