Jocelyn is Engaged! Just because Clive is thousands of miles away didn’t stop Jocelyn from having an engagement session. I can’t wait to meet the mystery man, and share with him how lucky he is. Jocelyn, thanks for choosing me. I had a ball working with you. Now you know first hand why it’s easy to love my job.
For a fun urban location, we chose the Seattle Central Library, which was the building voted #108 on the American Institute of Architects’ (AIA) list of Americans’ 150 favorite structures in the U.S. It provides a stunning setting, both inside and out!
Emily & Shyam had a fabulously fun urban wedding at the Seattle Art Museum’s Olympic Sculpture Park PACCAR Pavilion:
And now they are off to South Africa to do it all over again!
Their vendors:
This is just a teaser from Paul and Jody’s fabulous wedding at St. Barnabas Episcopal Church and the Resort at Port Ludlow. More to come!
Professional athletes have something remarkable in common: their significant others! In the past two years I have had the wonderful luck to photograph a handful of these women (and their men, pregnant bellies, babies and an upcoming wedding too! NOT Damien and Traci’s wedding, just for the record…)
Granted, pro athletes have their choice of women. Still, choosing women who are not only beautiful and smart, but also warm, down to earth, and devoted to family expresses more about character than the increasing range of a jump shot.
Not only is the probable migration of the Seattle Super Sonics a loss of urban culture, but one of business, personal and community diversity. I for one, will be deeply sorry if Seattle looses these women and their Sonic partners.
Damien Wilkins and Traci Boyd have allowed me to share these images.
These two were so much fun.
This is my favorite moment.
Nicole Favorite and Matt Holt are engaged! This event is such a family affair. Nicole’s mom, Kim, is as much a welcome part of the fun as are their two loving kids. Every idea shared has been openly considered. This family is a dream. Since my motto is “Your Photographer for Life”, I hope to be shooting their daughter’s high school senior portraits, weddings and Nicole & Matt’s 50th wedding anniversary too! To say I’m honored to be chosen photographer is an understatement. I feel so lucky. (And I’m not even the Bride!)
Oh yeah, the cute engagement story…
Hiding from Mommy, Nicole found a butt sticking out from behind the “giggling couch”. There she found Daddy and girls “sneaking” a treat of ring pops. Nicole asked where her ring was. Matt pulled out a box holding a special ring indeed. Lots more giggling ensued, and crying, and hugging. On August 18, 2007 these high school sweethearts will be celebrating the life and love they already share.
Save the Date! Now anything goes to get your family and friends to reserve your wedding date. Traditional cards and photos are still king, but messages in a bottle, e-mails, frames with the wedding date engraved, and now, magnets! Jenny Tang and Luan Kinh Le sent out these fun magnets as their Save the Date. Love these! Get them at Magnet Street.
I can wait to photography Jenny and Luan on the Vegas strip and at their gorgeous spa location, Green Valley Ranch Resort.
