Amr + Yasmeen were married last weekend at the Newcastle golf club in Bellevue. The day was packed with their radiant smiles and Egyptian traditions and I had a epic time at this party where it seemed like just about every guest was on the dance floor!
Congrats you both, I hope Maui was wonderful!

A decade and a half after meeting Matt while we were bartenders at Islands in Southern California (yes, a tiki themed place where I learned to make a mean Mai Tai and some wickedly frozen Pina Coladas), I had the honor of photographing his emotionally filled wedding day with Renee at Serra Plaza in San Juan Capistrano. These two people fill me with hope for the world and I can’t ask for better friends, even if we don’t get to see each other very often. Congrats to you both!
It was also killer to have the entire 2006 road trip group in one place. 12 years ago I spent two months in a 1994 Honda Accord waon with the guys driving about 10,000 miles around the country. New York + Florida are just a sample of the fun.

Out in the woods and out on an island, is there anything more amazing in the Pacific Northwest? Ashley and Shawn were married a few weeks back at the Four Springs House on Camano island and the day was absolutely flawless. Beautiful sun, huge trees, bald eagle sightings and these two being enamored with each other. Thanks so much for letting me join you on the big day!

Sparklers, belly dancing and a toast by the grooms 11 year old daughter, which was easily the most moving tear-filled speech I have ever had the honor to witness. Adrienne + Jason had a perfect wedding day at the Canal in Ballard, and it was a pleasure to be a part of.
Congrats again to you both and on your new lives together!

Brittany and Scott were married a few weeks back at Hidden Meadows in Snohomish (I’m still learning all the local communities after moving up hear a couple years ago). The Pacific Northwest can be a bit of a gamble on wedding day weather, but these two lucked out with that crisp summer sun and the epic clouds I love this far north!
Thanks to you both and I hope you loved Hawaii!

It’s a lucky evening in Seattle when the sun streams through the cloudy skies, giving you an epically warm light and then finishes off with a shockingly perfect sunset; but that’s what happened when Andrea, Joey and I headed out to Discovery Park and the Olympic Sculpture Gardens to spend an evening photographing their engagement session. I had a fantastic time getting to know these two and learning about their lives, I can’t wait for the big day this fall!

I don’t recall ever seeing smiles as massive and as glowing as I did while celebrating Don + Mandy’s wedding; these two just shone for each other. They started off with their ceremony at Our Lady of the Lake followed that up with a super fun reception at Pine Rose Cabins in Lake Arrowhead. A big thanks to Kenny Song for coming along to this one with me.
It was wonderful to see these two wilderness lovers get married in a forest they love and I was proud to document this moment of their lives together. Congrats to you both!

Seattle has killer color everywhere, and when Sandy + Robert came downtown for their engagement shoot we went on a hunt for it all. We started at the Seattle Center, quickly hit up Kerry Park and then headed down to Pike’s Place for some twilight photos. I love finding the little corners and reflections all over the city and with these two I had a fantastic evening exploring. Thanks Robert + Sandy, I’ll see you in a few months for your big day!

It was a spectacular day for Ramon + Viviana to be surrounded by their children (including their adorable 5 year old twins) and all the rest of the family celebrating their wedding at Tibbetts Creek Manor is Issaquah. I had that perfectly soft overcast light during their portrait session, giving us some of that magical Pacific Northwest skies. Congrats to you both and your family, thanks for letting me spend the day with you!

Kate + Benji. These two are absolute badasses. Throughout the shoot I harangued them about all their favorite camping and outdoor spots and they just kept rattling of a massive list of places where I can go in the Pacific Northwest to chill out in nature, where our phones won’t work (the only real way to shut down anymore). Other than just their encyclopedic knowledge of the outdoors, they are also both charming human beings who made for a perfect afternoon photographing their engagement session at Gas Works Park in Seattle.
Can’t wait to see you both out on the island in September!
