I love couples that enjoy each other’s company. Sarra and Sahil laugh together a lot. That made them fun to photograph! We walked around South Lake Union Park and the surrounding area include the Center for Wooden Boats. Then, they got married in the speakeasy room in the apartment complex. Very fun!

Yay for weddings! It has been a long time since I last had the opportunity to photograph a wedding. Michele and Mark were married at Willows Lodge with their immediate family in attendance. It was a gray and slightly sprinkly late winter day. They laughed a lot and the love amongst their family was obvious. Willows Lodge arranged for them to get married in the small library upstairs. After the ceremony, I did some portrait sessions for family members that wanted some couple portraits. Thanks for having me there!

Kathy and Nick planned to have a beautiful big wedding this summer. That didn’t work out with the pandemic and the restrictions on receptions. So they postponed their big party until next year and decided to do a micro wedding on the Washington coast. They chose the adorable little planned village of Seabrook in the Pacific, Washington area. We had planned on some images of the two of them taking off their shoes and playing in the water at sunset for some spectacular images. Then the smoke rolled in from Oregon and California for the weekend of their wedding. They had a fantastic attitude about it. They still got married, and they still had a great time with their friends. Your wedding either goes perfectly, or you have a great story to tell for the rest of your life!

Mona & Jonathan came from California to get have a micro wedding at the courthouse in Seattle. They live in the bay area and have full-time jobs as well as both working on their Master’s degrees. Seattle courthouse weddings look pretty different at the moment with weddings happening outdoors within walking distance at various courtyards in the area. Mona & Jonathan are very cool people. Congratulations!.

Meeran and Jaewoo are super cool, super nice people. They had big plans for their wedding. What we did was a beautiful micro wedding at Kerry Park with some portraits in Fremont and Ballard before the ceremony. Kerry Park is a fantastic place to get a great view of Seattle. It is totally cool to get married there without a reservation as long as you don’t make people move or set up chairs and equipment. Anyway, congratulations to Meeran and Jaewoo!

Matt and Nilou are a cool couple. They were fun to hang out with and take photographs of. They had their micro wedding at the beautiful Woodmark Hotel in Kirkland. The Woodmark has a permanent tent that lets them have great ventilation and space for a wedding during the pandemic while also giving the feel of a more traditional wedding. They also have wonderful grounds and docks at Carillon Point for some great images. After the ceremony, we even got to go for a ride in their boat around Lake Washington. Very cool.

I met Alexa and Kevin in West Seattle for some photographs with an awesome view of downtown. They love their dogs, so we included their dogs in a lot of the images as well as going to one of their favorite parks to hang with the pups. As I was talking to them about how they were from the midwest and moved to Seattle for their jobs, I was fully expecting them to be in the tech field like so many in the area are. They are in a way, but they build rockets for Blue Origins. It just sounds cool.

Heather and Kevin had a wonderful, though slightly rainy, wedding day at Willows Lodge in the wine country of Woodinville, Washington. It was my first wedding in the era of the pandemic. It was a very heartfelt event that had far more guests via Zoom than were in physical attendance. I believe there were 12 family members at the wedding. Willows Lodge made it a great day despite the modern challenges. Congratulations to Heather & Kevin!

I recently had the opportunity to photograph Lisa and Chris’ elopement. It was the first wedding that I’ve photographed after the lockdown for the coronavirus and Covid-19. It was a joy to be back photographing a wedding! Lisa and Chris are also fantastic people to hang out with, so they made it especially fun for me to be back doing what I love. Lisa and Chris had originally planned on having an elopement at the Seattle Municipal Court with a dozen guests. They ended up getting married in their backyard with one of my favorite officiants, Annemarie Juhlian, performing the ceremony. Before their ceremony, we went to Richmond Beach Saltwater Park for some portraits.
