I had the huge privilege of photographing Malinda’s wedding a couple of years ago when she married Michael. It was a ton of fun, it was beautiful, and I had the chance to meet some pretty incredible people (Shout out to her brother and sister in law Russell and Allison!) So being able to get some great photos of Malinda for her job (she’s one of the best saprano’s in the world… if I remember what she told me correctly).. So excited to share these, and I hope you love them!
Read MoreYou may not know this about me, but I have two boys. Isaiah and Judah. At this moment, they are in sixth grade and fourth grade. I bring this up, because Aaron and Payton met in fourth grade. Their story started so long ago that it’s bewildering to me as a father. Who would my sons know now, that in 10 years they may be marrying them? It’s a crazy thought. And if you want to hear more about their story, you should definitely check out their engagement photos. What you need to know for this blog, is that the relationship that started back in fourth grade, from the valentines cards (which they still have) to their school pictures, these two have been together. They’ve been through some crazy things, and all that came to a point on this one day - the day they both said “I want you and no other”. Such a beautiful wedding, with so many great moments, great laughter, and a genuinely awesome group of people. This wedding was a highlight for me this year, and I don’t think you’ll have to scroll too far to understand why - Aaron and Payton are awesome for a multitude of reasons, and I hope that is conveyed in these images. I certainly loved taking them.
Read MoreThis particular trip was something I had been looking forward to for a while. My wife and I had set aside the time months and months in advance, and I was so excited to take her and my youngest son to Rainier for the first time. As we got closer and closer to the date, however, the weather started to look more and more sketchy - and sketchy it was. The day we arrived it was pouring rain. So we setup our tent (From DOD Outdoors) in the rain, then got all our bedding setup inside. It was about 37 degrees - in August.
Read MoreA couple of years ago I had the chance to photograph the wedding of some pretty awesome people (Shout out to Michael and Malinda!), and while I was there I met these amazing people. Granted, they didn’t have their little one there yet, but this beautiful family of four stood out to me. I was able to take a photo of them at the wedding, and I didn’t hear from them for a couple of years until last year when Allison reached out to me to do their family photos. I love how they turned out, and so when they asked me to do it again, it was a huge compliment. So today I get to share some of my favorites from our recent family shoot together!
Read MoreStefan and Alicia had such an incredibly memorable day. They cried, they laughed, and they had some beautiful, intimate moments - and I had the chance to be there for all of them. From their beautiful first look, to all the amazing people that gave a toast to these two - it was an absolutely special day. One thing seems to be clear from all the friends and family I met during this day - these two are so dearly loved. They have friends, lots of them, and they are so appreciated. It’s always such a great moment for me, just sitting in the back (or the front, in some cases) just listening to their stories, their laughter, and in this case, that happened a lot. I hope you love these photos as much as I enjoyed taking them.
Read MoreGetting to meet the Godfrey’s for their family photos was a privilege. I really enjoyed getting to know them, watching their boys play, and attempting to get their beautiful daughter to smile - and smile she did. Granted, what you don’t see is all the tears she also shed, but that smile man - so worth it. What a beautiful and kind family. Love how these turned out!
