Ritchie and Ailey Wedding

Ritchie and Ailey Wedding Preview

Yesterday I had the pleasure of shooting the wedding of Ritchie and Ailey. It was a beautiful day in Seattle, actually sunny for a change, and felt like spring. The wedding was a marathon of photography in a beautiful church in Redmond that ended with a reception at the Tyee Yacht Club in Seattle. More to come...

I shoot sports?

I rarely shoot sports and when I do it's usually with a frown on my face and I just can't wait to get back home. I still mostly have a frown on my face, but lately it's been reserved for girl's basketball games. These are a couple of images that I have made lately for various assignments that I was quite happy with. More to come in the bicycle realm with lights and cameras mounted on bicycles...

The Weekend

My life has been pretty busy, some times monotonous, but mostly exciting and busy lately. I have been working for a small paper as an intern, while I get my freelance business up and running, so while I'm not pulling my hair out shooting girl's basketball I am redesigning my logo, contacting editors, creating a dedicated wedding site, and working on new projects for 2010. But this weekend (i have mondays and tuesdays off) I went on a hike with my chocolate lab beast through the mossy forest. The quietness of the forest on monday morning is fantastic. While everyone else is typing away I am looking at moss, reflections, water, and running around chasing my dog like a kid again. Nora likes to jump in and out of the small pools at the base of the water fall and then bark at me as if to say "Why the hell aren't you doing this! This is great!" while I sip my coffee and watch with a smile. Then it's the hike back and just like that, the forest trails turn into suburbs, interstates, Seattle, then to my little reprieve above the city in Queen Anne, where I am back to work.
