Brooke and Brad… Kind, Caring and seriously Hilarious! Meg and I had such a great time photographing their wedding and kinda want to do it again… Hmm, but only if they marry each other again? Alright, I guess that was our one shot:-). You’ll see it in the images but they made our job so easy with their expressiveness and beauty… No seriously, check out the images. These two and all the peops who joined them to celebrate were awesome!! Okay, less words and more photos. Enjoy!!

Shari + Trent | Bellingham Wedding Photographer | Records, Umbrellas and Pulled Pork

admin — Fri, 14 Oct 2011 03:23:33 +0000

Shari and Trent – I just adore them! They are such unique and amazing individuals, and as a couple they compliment each other so well! Shari is an incredibly talented graphic designer, as you’ll see with all the details below! And Trent owns a record shop, so it was only natural to have them as part of the details! While recovering from some minor food poisoning the day before, Shari looked out of her hotel window at the rain and just smiled. Because she is that kind of person who sees the good in everything and everyone!! She didn’t care that it was raining! She was feeling much better today than the day before! She was so extremely excited/thankful/happy to be marrying the man that would be at the alter that day!

Congratulations to Shari and Trent! We are beyond honored that we were able to capture your big day!!! Enjoy marriage!!!

Aaah, they know the key to our hearts:-). We just handed Shannon and Dan’s wedding photos off to them (yep blogging after handing them off). But when they arrived at the studio, it wasn’t just them but in their hands? Timbits, ohh yah!! The whole process with Shannon and Dan was really great. We had a great time doing photos down at Bellwether and then heading to Bellingham Golf and Country Club for the ceremony. Shannon’s attention to detail was awesome and she put together a great team of vendors to pull off a beautiful day!! Congrats to you both and I can’t wait to do some more shooting soon!!

Magazine cover? Well it should be, way to be beautiful Shannon!!

Way to go Rachel, Frederic, Jason and Heidi… and Shannon of course, lol.

Kim + Darren | Newcastle Wedding Photographer | Best-Grooms-Speech-Ever, a bagpiper and Wayne Rooney

admin — Mon, 08 Aug 2011 21:15:16 +0000

Kim and Darren - you may remember them from this snowy sesh!! It’s a whole new day, it’s their wedding day! It’s understated to say it was a beautiful day, the rain held and the sun was bright, we were up on a hill and it was a gorgeous sight! Kim looked stunning and made Darren look really good:-). It was an eventful day to say the least but one of my favorite things about this day was all the detail that Kim put into her day! From the amazing team of vendors all the way down to the M&M’s with photos of their pups and really everything in between. Congratulations again to you two and thanks so much for allowing us the honor of being a part of your wedding day! Enjoy!!

All day… People talk about someone glowing and I think this picture really embodies that idea!

I can’t wait to see what Ben came up with for Kim and Darren’s video.

Remember what I said about the weather. It was so dramatic and I loved it!

As a professional, it is my job to act like it’s no big deal that Manchester United’s stars hopped in some photos. But honestly, they were class act and total champs for being available and willing!

Looks to me like someone may have been a little star struck:-).

Don’t the ladies look amazing…

… and the dudes look dapper?

I don’t think I could ever tire of this view!!

These next two images are exactly why we LOVE to have two photographers! Check out the cool angle from Kim’s mom being escorted to the front row….and then of Kim kissing pops up front!

All of the images above are gorgeous but this just keeps making me smile!!! Two happily married people, now lets go get that certificate signed, ha.

Though they weren’t there to celebrate at Newcastle, they were well represented.

Note – PINK uplighting!!! Super cool!

Erica and her team from Bitsy Events with Kim!!! These ladies were so stinking wonderful!!

Don’t confuse their love for their dogs with love for the Dawgs. These two are Cougs all the way!!

Like we said in the title, it really was the best groom speech ever!! I wish I could remember all of it but I love that it ended with something to the effect of ‘we have been on a lot of adventures and that will continue to tomorrow morning at 10:00 am when we go skydiving together!!’ Look how stoked she is to hear him say that!!

Darren and Kim, you two are awesome. Congratulations!!

Krista and Chad’s Ferndale wedding seemed to fit them perfectly. They had a great farm and county feel while honoring that the day was significant and oh so meaningful!! Boxx Berry Farms was a great host and really beautiful venue (still loving that view of Baker!). Thanks to you both for allowing us the great honor of photographing your day! Congrats again and all the best in the future.

We had a fun idea to have Krista get into her dress behind hand held curtains and it allowed for this beautiful reveal:-).

One fun and playful wedding party, loved it!!

Megs ladies that we have photographed… Past, present and future!!

Not over how amazing this view was just yet!!

If you are considering a farm feel for your wedding, you need to give this venue a good look. It’s pretty great!

Meg and I were honored to be a part of Mike and Kiah’s wedding day. It was a great mix of elegant meets DIY and fun meets sacred. Congratulations on your beautiful day and thanks for allowing us crazies to come be a part of it all. We look forward to seeing what God has in store for you two in the future!!

Wedding Toms = Awesome.

If only the clouds would have been more dramatic:-).

Never a dull moment, of course.

Congrats again and we can’t wait for you to see your premiere!!

Laura + Ray – Roche Harbor Wedding Photography

admin — Tue, 03 May 2011 16:00:28 +0000

What a wonderful weekend celebration for Laura and Ray!! Roche Harbor was a perfect location for them to have a ‘local destination’ wedding! Hop on a ferry and drive past the local camel to get to this getaway in the San Juan Islands! The two of them put in so much thought, love and fun details into hosting their guests at a home away from home. Check out the fun welcoming package here that everyone received upon check-in! Pretty much the coolest thing ever!

Laura and Ray went with a nautical theme – with navy, yellows and white! It came together perfectly! Navy bridesmaid dresses, navy shoes, and beautiful bright yellow flowers!! And did we mention that of course the whole week before the wedding, it was supposed to rain like nobody’s business? Well, true to the islands, we were saved from the rain and the sun came out to play with us! It had been a long winter and Aaron and I quickly had to adjust to shooting with that bright orb in the sky!

It sure was nice having a few pilots on the guest list! It came in handy when the officiant’s plane was going to be delayed. So what did they do? Hopped in their personal plane and flew to go pick up Fr. Tom Belleque! But oh no, the host (used for communion in Catholic ceremony’s) was also back at church. No problem! Another quick flight and the ceremony was fully supplied with hosts’. Such wonderful memories surrounded this whole weekend!

Laura and Ray – Huge congratulations to the two of you!!! We were so honored to witness your wedding day and to see the start of your marriage!! We wish you the best!! Enjoy!

Anna, of Tart Beauty, working her magic on the little ones! I’m pretty sure that she snuck quite a few M&M’s while getting her hair done!!

I can’t even look at this next picture without tearing up!! That’s Laura’s mom on the right! I know, she is waaaay pretty!! The reality of a wedding day always hits when all of the final details are on! The gown, the veil, the jewelry…ahhh – perfection, Laura, perfection!!

Laura’s dad seeing her for the first time – such a wonderful moment!

Aaron taking a picture of me taking a picture of Laura! Gosh!!!! Laura – you are soooooo gorgeous!!!

Doing a fun spin for her hubby at the first look!

Look!!! Blue sky!!!

We absolutely LOVED the colors that Laura had chosen for the wedding! Navy blue with yellow flowers really gave a dynamic pop to this spring wedding!!

Back off, ladies – he’s TAKEN!!!

Why is it that we get the biggest smiles when we announce that family photos are over??

Our Lady of Good Voyage Chapel – it was packed out for the ceremony!!

Gorgeous, simply gorgeous.

Two very proud mamma’s!!

Here is the behind the scenes…

Laura and Ray’s – Roche Harbor Sneak Peak

admin — Sun, 03 Apr 2011 17:01:52 +0000

For the last week Meg was checking the weather religiously and the forecast did change… Rain with a chance of showers:-). When it came down to it, drizzle in the early morning and then sun all day, woot!! Beautiful couple, location and day – Congrats you two, here is a little sneak peak for ya:-).

They did a nautical theme.

Meg was getting a shot with the great light that the day provided!
