Kristi  Warter and I go way back…we’re talkin’ Homeroom in Jr. High, way back. In those days I was a giant geek who was pretty surprised when the more popular girls in school  (like Kristi) would even talk to me. Over 10 years have passed and once again Kristi and I are nearly neighbors. In [...]

This last weekend Terice and I took part in the Seattle Wedding Expo. We met with literally hundreds of brides with weddings coming up in 2011 and 2012. It was great to meet so many of you first hand.  Over the course of the last 11 years I’ve done my share of wedding shows and [...]

On Saturday Terice and I spent our day at the lovely Lord Hill Farms for the wedding of Lindsay Bowyer and Jesse McCelland. To say these two are fun loving is an understatement! Jesse loves the camera, and it loves him back.

After shooting this image I couldn’t help but show it to Lindsay. Her smile [...]

Today’s photo challenge for  I Heart Faces is “Over your Head.”  The challenge is pretty open and I shot this on Saturday at Lord Hill Farms in Snohomish, WA. More images from Lindsay and Jessie’s wedding will be posted later this week.
The photo was a series of fortunate happenings all at once. Right after the [...]
