Jeff and Stacy | Seattle Wedding Photography

admin — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 21:44:08 +0000

One of the reasons I love a word of mouth business is that our awesome clients suggest us to the awesome people that they know and the run goes on. One of the other great ways people find us is by knowing us:-). Yep, so my math tells me that we are awesome (you can check my work, it might be off). I met Jeff in high school and I’m so glad. He is a great guy and now we were able to re-connect for his and Stacy’s wedding. Sa-weet! I could go on about how awesome their wedding day was, but since pictures are worth a 1,000 words? I’ll let them tell the story!!

They are huge Seahawk (and Sounders) fans, so obviously the Seahawk garter was appropriate.

Loved the amazing rainy day north light for their first look.

Jeff might be glad we aren’t videographers:-). But the four of us enjoyed his singing.

A favorite from their day!

Stacy, you were stunning… and a lot of fun!!

Love this!

Grandma enjoying the slideshow

Herban Feast was amazing!!

Thanks for giving me a shoulder to lean on Dan!

All the goodies for the ice cream bar!

Dani was amazing and was really vital in seeing that the day came together so Stacy and Jeff didn’t need to think about it!

Jeff gave the guys a little incentive when he tossed the garter wrapped around a football. Good call.

Congratulations to you both. Thanks for allowing us the opportunity to capture this day for you and all the best in the future!!

Stephanie + Tim | Issaquah Wedding Photography

admin — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 22:04:27 +0000

Alright, so here is a throwback for ya. Stephanie had the privilege… err, the adventure of assisting me at my very first wedding I photographed. To give some perspective, on where we’ve come from. We shot with a Canon Rebel2000 (film camera), rented lenses from Glazers and borrowed lights from my uncle… and I had hair, yep I indeed used to be able to grow hair on my head. If it weren’t for Stephanie, I wouldn’t have even gotten to the wedding because I got in a pretty bad car accident on the way and she came and picked me up. Just think, if it weren’t for her, that very first wedding wouldn’t have been nearly as awesome and Evantide may never have existed. So who would have photographed her wedding then?:-) See it all comes full circle.

Meg and I were so thrilled when Stephanie and Tim got in touch with us about their big day. First, excited for them to continue on this journey together and second, that they trusted us to capture it for them. It was an awesome winter day in the northwest. The rain kind of held off when it was supposed, but showed up just enough to keep us on our toes. This was the wedding you didn’t want to miss if you wanted your cheeks to hurt from smiling a lot and to really fulfill your sweet tooth from an amazing candy bar. Congrats to you both and all the best in the futre!!

Stephanie, you looked amazing!!

Seriously, even now… this makes me smile!

Way to pick ridiculously cute kids to be involved in your day as well:-).

Sounds like it’s her fault they are all hitched now!

It’s how they rolled.

Pickering was a beautiful and romantic spot these to wed.

She’s one smart grandma. She told Meg she was having a boy. And the next week, we found out we are having a boy. She is good and a really great dancer!

Grandpa getting some late night cuddling. All the youngins’ did amazing.

And they are off! Congrats to you both, it was an honor to be a part of your day!

Carly and Joe Married

admin — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 20:09:18 +0000

Our New Years Eve was so ridiculous in the most amazing sense! Carly is really one my coolest old friends and Joe is one of my coolest new friends. For some context, I’ve known Carly for many years including a lot of good times working at the Starbucks together. As a matter of fact Carly actually sang at Meg and I’s wedding for our first dance. She holds a special place in our heart! Okay, less us and more them:-). I feel like Carly and Joe’s wedding was the perfect balance of chic romance and crazy party (those of you that were there, am I right or am I right?). I feel like you can’t really separate the ceremony from the reception too much. The guests were able to sit at their tables and comfortably enjoy the beautiful and romantic ceremony and transition easily into the Market style reception. Not only was it held at the Market but it was also set up so that each aspect and detail about the reception felt like you were at a market with different vendors. So cool! Alright, less words more photos… Enjoy!

Recipe for Success:

Venue – Depot Market Square

Caterer – Sandwich Odyssey

DJ – Audio Innovations

Hair and Makeup – Tart Beauty

Gown – Benita’s

Oysters – Taylor Shellfish Farms

Dessert Table – Friends and family shared favorite desserts and the guests favors were a small cookbook of the recipes for those very desserts. Awesome and genius!

Photography – Evantide Photography:-)

Carly, you looked amazing!!

Joe was so nervous excited. I think he just wanted to be together so they could enjoy the day together.

I really like the in between times.

Yep, they were shucking on site. so fun.

One of my faves. In the midst of the party, still newly weds. Good times.

June 2008, Carly and Roebi made a deal… on a napkin.

Audio Innovations kept the party going!

They sent off a lantern to ring in the new year with well wishes and wisdom from their closest friends and family.

We love you guys!! Congrats and thanks for letting us be a part of it all:-).

Happy Valentines Day! | A Snowy Waterfront Wedding

admin — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 18:08:15 +0000

Happy Valentines Day everyone!! No better day to share these intimate little snowy day nuptials with you all!! It was not only a privilege to photograph this images for Karin and Gordon but it was also an honor to be a part of this small ceremony. Hotel Bellwether was a great host with the ceremony being up in the top of the lighthouse. The views of the water and snowy islands were an amazing complimentary view while they exchanged vows!!

I know Karin had imagined this dress for a warmer day but she absolutely worked it in the snow!

I hope everyone has a great Valentines Day. Now go call someone you love and tell them that you love them:-).

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.

I’ve been working hard on Shari and Trent’s photos and can’t wait to show them off, but in the meantime I can’t get over this shot of Shari’s dress. I love it a lot.

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!!

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!
