Jessica & Chuck's Wedding

Well on a rainy windy day . .Jessica and Chuck got married at the beautiful Pickering Barn in Issaquah.  Before that, we started out the day at the Westin in Bellevue and as you can see we got some gorgeous shots of Jessica.  The one of her on the bed is one of my favorite bride shots of the entire year!  Jessica and Chuck had their emotional first look in the lobby and then the sun came out and the rain clouds went away just long enough for us to go outside and get some very cool portraits of them. 

It was then off to the Pickering Barn in Jessica Granda's vintage red car (isn't the photo of them in her hotel room just precious?).  I love the shot of them kissing with their wedding party behind them and the photo of Jessica by herself in the car.  As you can see Jessica's 3 brothers all walked her down the aisle and as her father is no longer with us it was a very touching and emotional moment.  The sun kept coming out in little spurts for us and we got a gorgeous shot of the barn near sunset and a very cute shot of them kissing over a little boy wearing the cow mask.  Enjoy!

Alaina & Brandon's Wedding

Well I know it's been sometime since we've shared with you a beautiful wedding . . but between getting sick, a bathroom remodel that won't stop and shooting other beautiful events, we've been busy!  So I thought what a nice way to start our wedding posts again then with the beautiful wedding of Alaina & Brandon at Sodo Park in Seattle (one of my favorite new venues).  As you can see Alaina had amazing and beautiful red shoes by Christian Louboutin.  I love the dress/shoe shot Bryan got outside of the venue.  It was then onto their emotional first look and photos nearby.  Is the photo of Brandon up close not super cool? And I love the photo of them kissing by the car and I love any bride who suggests you shoot with construction equipment.

As you can see they had the great idea of doing lollipops as their favors in the letters of their names of A&B . .how cute is that? I love the bold yellow dresses she chose for her bridesmaids.  Onto the beautiful reception where there was some great light and I love the photo Alaina's bridesmiads kissing her cheek and all of the photos outside of the two of them and their lollipops.  Lastly how can you not think the ring shot just simply rocks .. what a great idea Bryan had!  Enjoy.

Halloween - 2009 & Zoe my beautiful little Tinkerbell

Well I know I know . .we are a little past our normal Halloween posting, but it's been quite the busy year and fall.  So without further adieu I would love to share with you our awesome yearly Halloween posting.  As you can see, Bryan had a lot more couples this year do scary poses so he could turn them into cool zombies, vampires and victims.  As you can see this is Bryan's fun project and aren't they just too cool?  We had to of course add our favorites from last year as well.  So I thank everyone that posed for them and I hope they don't scare anyone too much!

Below that are some photos of Bryan, Zoe and I in our glow in the dark pajamas . .we thought it would be fun to get matching ones.  And of course then none other than our beautiful Zoe in her adorable Tinkerbell outfit.  Bryan had a wedding that night . .and so I just captured some fast cute ones of her trick or treating for the first time.  She can't say it yet, but she took pride in carrying her basket no matter how heavy it got . . ha!  Finally then are our favorites from my brother Matthew and his wife Kathy's annual Halloween Party.  As you can see, this year I was a fortune teller and Bryan was the wendy guy with the red hair, hence the burger in all the photos . . hey he wants a big juicy burger . ha.  We did miss the awesome Brian Waltz of Good Times DJ who got married the week before and was honeymooning in Greece at the time.  He is in a one of the scary photos below with his wife Hayley who is the Vampire in the cape.  And it was too funny that someone came as Bryan's step brother Casey Keller.  It was in fact his ex-girlfriend Angel and her husband who dressed up as Casey Keller.  Enjoy!
