The annual wedding issue of Photo District News Magazine is out. I am beside myself to have been chosen one of the Top Knots for 2008! Their annual contest is entered by photographers all over the world and one of my favorite photos was selected in the CANDID category. I took this photo at Stephanie and Kevin White's wedding last April at Newcastle Golf course. I geeked out when I saw these brothers, Zane and Weiland entertaining themselves before the ceremony.
Last September my trusty assistant Erinn and I had so much fun shooting Tylor and Xcinia's wedding on Eastsound Orcas Island in the San Juans. Not only was it visually stunning, not only were Tylor and Xcinia (and their friends and family) soo gracious and welcoming, but their wedding was very eco-concsiously planned. I loved their commitment to reducing waste and yet still having a magazine worthy wedding. You can see the full story in the current issue of Seattle Metropolitan Bride and Groom.
I love Isadora's, the vintage fashion and estate jewelry store on 1st. Ave. In fact, that's where my 1930's engagement ring was found. So I was especially excited to shoot a fashion report for Junebugweddings .com last spring featuring vintage dresses, accessories and estate jewelry from Isadora's. I'm honored then that Isadora's and Junebug weddings both chose to use images from this shoot for their advertising. The full page and and half page ads can be seen in the current issues of Seattle Metropolitan Bride and Groom and Seattle Bride.
I shot Ashley and Erick's wedding on February 17th at the Loomis Trail Mansion at the Semiahmoo Resort near Blaine. It was one of those rare beautiful clear sunny winter days and I was so excited for them. A perfect winter wedding!
I'm excited to be included in the Year in Pictures article in the current issue of Seattle Bride. Its their collection of favorite images from some of the best local photographers. I'm thrilled this detail shot from Miriam and Tony's August 5th wedding was included.
Just received my copy of the new Knot Best of Weddings 2008. Again this year, they chose to feature one of my images in their layouts. This one is for stylish stationary ideas. The photo was taken at the weddng of Courtney and Matt Payne married August 18th, 2007. Just one of their great details!

francie & joe's Slideshow
I had the incredible pleasure of photographing the wedding of Francie Han and Joe Galante on January 26th at SAM. It was soo inspiring to work with such a fun stylish couple in an amazing backdrop! Here's a sample of the slideshow I created for them to share with friends and family. They just emailed a link to everyone they wanted to see it. It features their first dance song, Shining Star. Again, what a great wedding!
Welcome to the introductory installment of my new blog! I'm excited to be able to share recent work and good news.
Speaking of, I just had the thrill of shooting backstage at the fall 2008 fashion shows in New York for Beauty.com! It was a dream come true. Here are some of my favorite behind the scenes (and in front of) shots.
