Mallory & Dylan's Wedding at the Base of Mt Si
I have a special bond with this bride as she was the Maid of Honor / younger sister in a wedding I photographed in July 2007. I was honored when I recieved the phone call from Mallory a year ago asking me to capture her wedding. On July 18, 2009, Mallory and Dylan were very happily married at a Bybee-Nims Blueberry Farm in North Bend, WA sitting at the base of 4167 ft tall Mt. Si.
Wow… what a view.
Mallory & Dylan are so in-love! They’ve been together since high school and it’s very obvious that their love for one another grows each day. Every shot I took, I saw that sweet, love-sparkle in both of their eyes. During their first glance, I pretty much melted…
Some of my favorite memories of their big day:
- Their basset hound dog was their ring bearer
- They had a tier donuts instead of traditional wedding cake
- Guests played fun lawn games (GO UW HUSKIES!)
- The first glance
- Mt Si (btw: this was my first big hike ever as a teenager!)
- The oh so strong raspberry mojitos (yum)
- Mike & Kaycie ‘s adorable baby, Henry (This is the couple who’s wedding I photographed in ’07!)
A big congrats to the newly-weds!
Oh, and I look forward to photographing Mallory’s younger brother’s wedding next… maybe in 10 years?
Here are a few of my favorites from the day:
Meet Alexandra at 3 months old
On July 2, 2006, I photographed Tasha & Kyle’s wedding in Leavenworth, WA at the Mountain Springs Lodge.
Three years later… I am capturing their adorable 3 month old daughter named Alexandra in my home in Los Angeles.
During this awesome photo session, Tasha and I discoverd we both knew the words of some French Songs. We were signing them to Alexandra to make her giggle and it worked!
“Oooooooh, Alouette, gentille alouette”……. then to “Frère Jacques, Frère Jacques” ….. Oh, this brings me back to French Class in high school and college.
Alexandra is full of expressions. What a fun age to photograph. She’s a cutie-pie and I am looking forward to watching her grow. I’m so honored that Tasha & Kyle has kept me in their family as their photographer!
Congrats to Jenny & Conan | DeLille Cellars | Woodinville, WA
The first time I met Jenny & Conan was on Friday, July 17th — their wedding day. This was my second time shooting at the DeLille Cellars in Woodinville, Washington. I am so happy I was given the opportunity to shoot there again since the first time I was there, it was raining cats and dogs! I never got to see the stunning grounds until this beautiful day. The weather was perfect and I felt such a wonderful connection and love between Jenny & Conan. Their ceremony was officiated by Jenny’s father and they had 15 children in their wedding party! I was shocked how well behaved all the kids were. Such a dream. Congrats Jenny & Conan. May you live a long and happy life together! Here are some of my favorite images from the day:

Congrats Jordan & Randy :: Fireworks in Malibu :: 4th of July
I really could not have asked to spend my 4th of July at a better party! This year, on one of my favorite holidays, I photographed Jordan & Randy’s wedding celebration. The wedding venue was held at the house where Jordan grew-up in…. in the Malibu, CA. The large, purple Jacaranda Tree blossomed just a few days before their big day. They were thrilled as was I! I love vivid colors, amazing wedding food, and pretty table tops. Their wedding extraordinaire/ coordinator/ culinary chef/ florist Paul Bott , made their day flawless & stunning. I can safely say, that the food was the BEST I have ever had. Plus it was gluten free. Simply amazing. During the ceremony, Jordan’s sister, maid-of-honor, sang a very heart-felt song that she wrote– I had to hold back my tears. Now, I try not to get emotional at weddings I photograph because I need my eyes to be clear so I can take sharp photos. At this point of the ceremony, this was very difficult for me. I am not sure if I have ever been so moved during a ceremony when she got on her keyboard. And, let’s not forget about the Sparklers and Fireworks. Enough said! CONGRATS RANDY & JORDAN! 
And, here’s the slideshow with the music of Randy & Jordan’s choice:
Congrats to Tina & Sung Min…. oooh, Lavender fields and the Oak Tree Grove
July 27th, 2009, Tina & Sung Min tied the knot at the stunning resort in Highland Springs, CA. Their wedding was 2 weeks after the Lavender Festival and it was a perfect, sunny, blue-sky kind of day. Everyone was relaxed & full of smiles for this special day. I had a fabulous time capturing all the moments, even when I didn’t understand a word of Korean during the ceremony. The landscape of the Highland Springs Resort is really a photographer’s dream — full of purple lavender, 900 acres to play with, textured oak trees, big open skies, and a shadowed ceremony location. Getting to know Tina & Sung Min over the last several months has been amazing. A few weeks back, I had blogged about their Engagement Session I had with them in Malibu. I wish them all the best in the world as their lives join in Portland, Maine. A big thank you to my good friend, Sarah Golonka, who helped make this day go smoothly for me.
