Jenny & Aaron’s Wedding (Part 1 – The Shot Spot)

This past week I had the pleasure to travel out to Washington State to photograph Jenny and Aaron’s wedding! I flew in on Wednesday along with my awesome team/entourage of Eric Kelley and Thomas Dalton who I want to thank for helping make everything a great success! The first couple of days we had the chance wander around Seattle and chill out before we went down to the Olympia and Tacoma area for the wedding. I will try to give more details about our experiences in Seattle in my next post, but for those of you who are dying to know: no, it wasn’t raining – it was actually quite nice, and yes, coffee is considered a food group there! :)  

It was truly awesome to be a part of Jenny and Aaron’s wedding and experience it as more than just a photographer, but as a friend with a camera! I had the amazing opportunity to not only get to know Jenny and Aaron better, but also their family and friends who I look forward to staying in touch with and being life long friends! I am sad that everything went by so fast, but looking forward to sharing the pictures with everyone and hopefully returning soon!

The first pictures I want to share with you are from the Shot Spot (my version of a photobooth) which was a huge hit! There were so many great pictures that I put them into a little slideshow to show a quick glimpse of all the fun! Enjoy and stay tuned for some more awesome pictures from throughout Jenny and Aaron’s Wedding to come!

Erin & Dwayne

As you can tell from my lack of blog posting I have been busy! I will actually be out of town 3 out of the 4 weeks in July traveling to 4 different States! Tomorrow I will be heading to North Carolina, but before I go I wanted to take a moment to give you this update and share a few recent pictures (read to the end for an exciting announcement) …

For me the story of Erin and Dwayne starts many years ago … but to keep this long story short I will fast forward to almost a year ago. Erin’s brother, Kyle is one of my best friends, and at the time this story takes place I had the pleasure to attend and photograph his black belt test. During the intermission Erin informed me that she had been looking at my website for awhile and that I had to photograph her wedding! I was both honored, shocked, and very happy for Erin! Obviously I didn’t hesitate and months later I ended up in a field with grass up to my chest all around me. I guess this is a good time to introduce you to some pictures …

The Beautiful Erin:

The [insert adjective] Dwayne:

Recipe for these pictures:

Add 1 field of Tall Grass (optional)

and 1 Fun Couple

lastly throw in a spontaneous photographer (preferred brand: Aaron Watson)

Creates lots of fun and beautiful pictures

For spice add a little Fine Art

This is one of my personal favorites. Often I am inspired by other photographers and I sometimes like to mimic their look and/or style. Feel free to leave a comment guessing what iconic photographer inspired this one:

Nothing kills a nice moment like a cell phone. If you don’t want your fiancee to kill you leave it at home or turn it off.

Now I couldn’t leave you without a little tease from Erin and Dwayne’s wedding day at the beautiful Delfosse Vineyards! Erin had one of the most beautiful bouquets I have ever seen!

Why wait around when you could be having fun releasing the model within!

If you have made it this far congratulations! Look out for a brand new website and many more great pictures coming soon!!!
