Its about time this baby got up on the blog. This styled shoot was a little something that the lovely Natalie Weinmeister of Ginger Bee Events & Planning and I put together awhile back, highlighting some of the awesome talent that Seattle has to offer. Natalie and I were both so excited about what we were putting together, and I think that really translated into the photos. We were honored to have such a tremendous response from some very gifted local vendors who not only donated their time and services, but threw themselves wholeheartedly into the project. Everyone pitched in to help, even after their own contribution to the shoot was finished. It was such a pleasure to work with such a group of talented and enthusiastic creatives!
Cheers, Seattle friends.

Morgan and Cameron were married at the lovely, retro Lake Union Cafe on a beautiful fall day. It was an honor to capture their love, and the love of the friends and family surrounding them on their wedding day.
I could go on about joy, about the beauty of families coming together for a common purpose, about perfect, imperfect love, but my mind, oh it is weary, so let's allow the photos speak for themselves.
This summer, I went on a bit of a hiatus to honor the birth of our beautiful daughter, who arrived in June. I've loved having this time to get to know her, to bond, to heal, but now I long to get back to photographing weddings, love, beautiful souls. Let's venture forward, and see what the future brings.
Getting married? Engaged? Just want to celebrate your love? Give me a call, drop me a line, let's create something beautiful.
