We got to talking about engagement portraits ideas during our very first meeting over coffee. Immediately, I knew the shoot would be fun based on their excitement over ideas of incorporating their elementary, their home town of Poulsbo, a roundtrip ferry ride, some fun at Kings Hardware in Ballard and a departure on their motorbike.

If you want to get some great Fall photos, you have to visit the Japanese Gardens near the Washington Park Arboretum in Seattle. This place has a central pond and pathways in the form of a figure eight. There are many private areas and the trees were full of color when I met up with [...]

Sanders Estate simply has it all. Most obvious is the amazing historic mansion at the center of the property perfect for morning preparations. To the North of the house is the ceremony area set against an expansive field and bordered with flora-adorned trellis. To the South is a large pond with a dock and rowboat. [...]

Chalk this one up to one of those ‘epic’ weddings that had me up early in the morning for bride details, touring downtown Seattle in the afternoon hours, covering a sunny Broadmoor Golf Club ceremony and finishing with an energetic reception. Don’t forget the surprise wish lanterns released on the golf course when the sun [...]

Photography in Ballard’s Golden Gardens? Yes, please. It also happened to be a place Chad and David frequent making it even more important. Once we had our fill at the beach, we headed south to the marina and ended at Gasworks park for vibrant Fall colors and a nice sunset.

I love photography. The medium can freeze a moment and allow you to inspect all of the details. Recently, between the shutter clicks, I have been rolling video to capture a totally different dimension. With video, you can see the bride laugh and cry, you can witness reactions as they happen. I’m am totally enamored [...]

I finally had a chance to head south through Tacoma to Chambers Bay on the waterfront. This place is great! Old stone pillars and structures left over from previous industry and a modern bridge over the train tracks to the beach. I arrived a bit early to our engagement session in order to become more [...]
