Terrie & Bill

This was a very special couple. We so enjoyed getting to know them and their friends.

My wife and I had so much fun shooting this wedding. It was set in the gorgeous, and meticulously landscaped back yard of their very dear friends.

It was very nice and intimate. I didn't post a picture of it, but this is the first time I have had a bride wheeled out in a pink wheel barrel!! I think it took Bill by surprise! (you will have to see those pictures when the wedding posts on the website!)

It was a pretty hot day for the Northwest at about 90 or so, but the breeze kept us all cool.


Thanks again to Terrie and Bill for allowing us to be a part of this special day!!



Cortnei

While we were up in the Northwest for another wedding we got the opportunity to do a senior shoot with a very pretty young lady. Cortnei is a very good friend to our adopted grand daughter Stephanie. It was so nice to spend the day at the wildlife refuge with the both of them. What a great day.







It's so important that you find locations that showcase your subject.. Remember, you are not shooting the location but it should reflect the personality of your subject. In this case it was perfect.


We had so much fun running around the wildlife refuge. I think we got some amazing shots. Here are just a few.













I love location shoots. Anyone can come to a studio and get pictures done, but I think they can lack personality.








This was a perfect day!!!

Amanda & Larry

All weddings are very special to me but this one was the most special! Not because of the location, or a grand setting, but I was able to use my gift of photography to capture the memories for my daughter. You can't know how much joy it brought me to see my little girl having the time of her life. Just to see her smiling so big was so rewarding.

I know all photographers think they have the most beautiful brides but you can't top a father's love and a beautiful daughter. It was a magical day!!

And what do you do after the wedding... Well, with my daughter and son in law it's off to Disneyland!! And that's what we all did.. 3 days at the Magic Kingdom with a wedding in there somewhere.

I guess I really don't have to go on!! The pictures are worth a thousand words.






I just have to say it was a very, very good time in our family's life!!!











Your daddy loves ya baby girl!!
