Toby and Amy’s wedding in Tacoma
Toby and Amy met at Pacific Lutheran University, where they were anatomy study partners. (That’s not a joke — both majored in exercise science.) They tied the knot at their alma mater on a perfect August day. I was honored to photograph the wedding with Narayan Mahon, a fellow ‘Cuse grad and an accomplished commercial and editorial photographer. (Look for…

Kristin and Memo’s Shilshole Bay wedding
Kristin and Memo first met in art school, and many years and separate roads later, they were married at Shishole Bay Beach Club. Their ceremony was so sweet and heartfelt there wasn’t a dry eye in the audience. I was honored to photograph the wedding. Memo and Gali, 8, walk down the aisle together. Gali…

Kristin and Memo’s pre-wedding BBQ
Grilling is a tradition in Memo’s family, so Memo and Kristin hosted a big bbq in their backyard the day before their wedding. The men started the grill up at 11 a.m., and six hours later, served up the best chicken, sausage and tri-tip ever. Juicy? Check. Savory? Check. AMAZING?! Check. These are men who take their meat seriously. It was…

Jack in Seattle
My East Coast nephews and niece flew into Seattle yesterday, a long trip made even longer when some passenger decided he didn’t like the sound of the plane’s engine. Everyone had to get off the plane and wait for the plane to be checked out — it was fine — before getting on with the flight.…

Meet Sadie
Sadie is One. Lucky. Dog. She’s got two doting parents, Kristina and Brandon, and more toys than some kids. At Volunteer Park, Sadie was beside herself with all the people around her playing soccer and Frisbee, and the squirrels and crows to stalk. At one-and-a-half, she’s got tons of energy and loves to play. Kristina’s…

Olivia and Billy, engaged!
I met Olivia and Billy for a sunny shoot at the Olympic Sculpture Park, one of my favorite places in Seattle. Their wedding will be held at Benaroya Hall; Olivia’s dad worked on the building’s construction. It’s a place where she’d always thought she’d like to get married. I love the geometric pattern of…

Monica and Jason, engaged!
I did the quintessential Seattle photo shoot for Monica and Jason’s engagement pictures. The gum wall in Post Alley (even grosser close up). Victor Steinbrueck Park, with a view of West Seattle. The fountain at Westlake Plaza. Rachel, the bronze piggy bank at Pike Place. By 7 p.m., Pike Place was emptied of its…

Scott and Elissa’s wedding
Scott and his beautiful bride, Elissa, have been together for nine years. This weekend, they tied the knot at McMenamins Edgefield, just outside Portland. Chris and I attended the wedding (Scott is our cousin) and I couldn’t resist taking a few pictures. Bundles of delicate flowers decorated the seats. Elissa’s mom watching her daughter walk…

Jing and Peter: the party!
The evening was packed with entertainment: a live band, two musically gifted friends and a comedian kept things rocking. Peter’s parents on the dance floor. It’s not hard to see where Peter gets his good nature and easy smile. John shares a dance with my friend Chi. Earlier, he’d pulled off a terrific guitar performance…
