Sneak Peek of Karen and David's Columbia Tower Club Wedding

I loved Karen and David from the first day I met them.  Karen loves photography and David is as cool as a cucumber.   I had a ton of fun with them during the two different days of their wedding. Below are just a few sneak peeks:

I don't usually show traditionally posed photos on the blog but this one struck me as fascinating. I love the set up.

This photograph reminds me of a 50's starlet from a movie.  I just love Karen's positioning and that she is bathed in beautiful light.

Karen changed in to this beautiful red dress towards the end of the reception.  I love the background and how gently David is holding her.

Rebecca and Brian's Engagement

Rebecca and Brian wanted to go snowshoeing at Stevens Pass Nordic Center for their engagement session which made perfect sense when I found out that Brian proposed at Stevens Pass.  So out came the snow equipment for me and my assistant.  My assistant borrowed my 72 year old mom's snowshoe equipment because it was the ONE day she wasn't using it.  Most likely skiing instead... you can tell where I get my energy from ;)

Rebecca did pairs iceskating as a kid so when we suggested doing a lift, they were right on it!  Most couples practice for a few weeks before the wedding to nail this pose.

This was a last minute thought due to the beautiful light that came at the end of the day in Shoreline. We scrambled to two different Starbucks to find an original white cup during the start of the holiday red cups. Why a Starbucks cup?  Rebecca and Brian both work for Starbucks and actually met in New Orleans as a group of Starbucks employees volunteering after Katrina.  Imagine their surprise to find they were both from Washington.  Talk about meeting cute!

Katie Campbell's Senior Portraits

We had a great time with Katie Campbell. She was a lot of fun and so easy to work with!

Katie looked so beautiful, and surrounded by an amazing setting made for perfect photographs!

We saw a Spiderman kite flying around, we asked for permission to use it, Katie was excited! And they turned our amazing and Katie loved it!

Katie grew up sailing on her uncles boat, she is a true sailor! It was great to incorporate who she is into these beautiful photographs!

Simple shot at the end of the evening. This is who Katie is, fun happy, and beautiful!

Jeannie & Christian's Wedding at Delille Cellars in Woodinville

Jeannie and Christian were one of my most fashionable couples of the season.  No surprise, seeing as Jeannie runs Stylelab Seattle.  A consulting and personal shopping service for fashion conscious guys.

I always love to capture all the 'getting ready' shots.  The really begin the whole story of the day.  Of course, being completely on the trend, Jeannie wore an amazing fascinator hairpiece.

Although it was her day, she brought some extra joy for her bridesmaids with gifts.  We simply had to re-create one of her engagement shots with this bag, too!

We found the best lighting for Christian while he was getting ready.  It created a much calmer atmosphere than running around with a flash.  Who needs more stress, you know?

Do you think Jeannie picked out his clothes?  You know she did!

Had this shot in a previous post, loved it so much I wanted to show it again of the "bat wing" shoes.

Jeannie looking breathtaking at Delille Cellars.  For her 'something old' she's wearing her Grandmother's veil.  Too fragile to wear the entire day, she brought it along and we took time to create some portraits just with the veil.  By all means, if there's something that is important to you to be photographed with on your wedding day, bring it along!

Christian and his groomsmen taking in the moment!

Delille Cellars has a beautiful garden where we were able to enjoy some quiet moments and create some intimate portraits before the wedding.

A quiet moment for Jeannie before the ceremony at Delille Cellars.

Jeannie and Christian looking amazing and happily married!!!

There are so many amazing settings for wedding photography in the gardens at Delille Cellars.

The beautiful couple!!!

A beautiful stroll after the ceremony at Delille Cellars.


Had a great time with Jeannie and Christian at their beautiful wedding.

Since we always shoot with two photographers, one of us stayed inside to capture the cake cutting the more traditional way and we took a chance photographing it from outside... the gamble paid off as this ended up being one of my favorite cake photos of the season.
