Lesa & Zach were married at the Suncadia Resort in Cle Elum and we were the lucky wedding photographers!  It was a beautiful sunny day for a wedding, with just enough wind to create some drama for the photographs.

The reception non-stop rocked and we had a fantastic time hanging out with the Moyer Foundation clan. 

Lesa and Zach, we can’t wait to have you guys over to the studio next week to check out all 600+ photos!

We met Lauren as a Bridesmaid at John & Laura’s wedding last year.  We popped over to her and Brian’s place one Sunday afternoon for some Maternity photos. 

Also, congratulations Brian & Lauren–Baby is here!  We will be following up with a newborn photo shoot with photos to come soon.

Katie and Josh tied the knot at the courthouse in Downtown Seattle in front of an intimate gathering of family and friends.  We were able to spend a lot of time with them before the ceremony which was a great opportunity for some fine art portraits.  During the ceremony, we wanted to capture the emotional moments of this close knit group.

We’ve spent the last couple years building a house with our own blood, sweat, and tears.  So, it felt really great when master carpenter Mr. Ikea lent us a hand with these bookshelves.  What feels even better is to get our books out of storage where we can see them and enjoy them.

I always love seeing what other people have on their bookshelf, so here are a few things that are on ours . . . click for LARGE version.

Beth and Shaun have a “work hard, play hard” philosophy on life that is inspiring.  They love life, food, and being fit.  We’ve got the life and food thing down, so thanks guys for reminding us about that other important component!

The mood was WARM but the temp was COLD for Perisha and Drew’s photo shoot.  Even though the sun was shining, the wind was whipping around at 40 mph and freezing us.  Now, as I sit here on an 85 degree day, it is a great memory!

There’s a rest stop off of I-90 which we always seem to hit on our way to Eastern Washington.  You’ve probably been there, too.

We’ve been college age, rock concert bound.  We’ve been with friends and their newborns, and we’ve been with our little car seat sleeper once or twice.  This time, on our way to visit friends in Spokane, we stopped to let our little man stretch his legs in the open field.

Here are some engagement photos of our friends Andrea and Ryan. Jill will be a bridesmaid and Joe will be photographing the wedding at the Canal in Ballard. It should be fun!

There was a lot of love in the air at Roger and Erin’s wedding.  It was a beautiful, cold, and wet day on Mount Ranier–perfect, since Roger is a world-class hiker who had just returned from a solo hike through Death Valley. He became the first known person to accomplish this feat. He’s also a great photographer so check out his website where he has some great images of his trek.

Yes, you saw right — Onkie Bazoobie.  Our friend Dani makes custom frames that you may have seen in local botique stores.  They’re part of her Onkie Bazoobie line.  We’ve bought a couple for gifts and have a few in our house.  They’re very popular and available in select botique shops and from her website.
