Kelly & Dan--The Westin, Seattle, August 2010

Tue, 31 Aug 2010 15:39:00 -0500

What a gorgeous couple and wedding! This was a very light-hearted, fun event. The couple even ended the evening by having a hotdog stand come in to serve the guests, which was a first for us. It was a HUGE hit (yes, they even had veggie dogs, so Jody and I were set.) We also loved Kelly's custom design Luly Yang wedding gown. She was absolutely stunning. Check out the photo of the little ice sculpture. Each guest was presented one of these filled with a little sorbet and lit from below. WOW! --Jen & Jody VENUE: The Westin, Seattle

That was a very nice post sweetheart :-) I wanted to share some of my images too! Jen is so creative and when paired with a wonderful couple such as Allie, Matt and their totally awesome family, she creates just amazing work. I am just lucky enough to be there to witness it... My images are made possible because of Jen and I owe my gratitude to everything she does.. I love you!

Allie & Matt--July 2010--Hall at Fauntleroy

Mon, 26 Jul 2010 02:16:00 -0500

To meet a couple who shares the same affinity as Jody and I do for cupcakes and donuts, is less common than we'd like. At our initial consultation, I think we spent more time discussing sweets than wedding day details with this Portland-based couple. Right away, we knew we were a great match for them! We fell in love with their visions, bridesmaids and groomsmen in all J. Crew casuals, the bride's organic raw silk dress from a boutique in Portland, the groom's linen suit, and of course the mini cupcakes from Trophy. Those of you who follow our blog might be noticing a little shift in our photography style. We are always looking for unique ideas, angles and we love couples like Allie and Matt who are trusting enough to let us express this creativity. I have shot at the Hall at Fauntleroy in West Seattle since my first season as a professional wedding photography 10 years ago (my I am sounding old, I am only in my very early 30s folks!). Never before have my photos from this venue looked like this! -Jen

Debbie & Gabe - July 2010 - Novelty Hill • Januik

Sat, 24 Jul 2010 17:45:00 -0500

Jen and I had a fabulous time photographing Debbie and Gabe's wedding at Novelty Hill • Januik winery in Woodinville. When we arrived, we were informed that one of the groomsmen had to go to the ER with a slight hole in his head... I don't, something about his wife and the car... that is all I can say :-) And it turns out that the bride and groom's first two dates were in the ER! Hmmm, have a great time in Italy you two and stay out of the ER. All kidding aside, we had a great time and the staff at the winery were amazing, especially the coordinator Emily Pollock.

Cindy & Josh--July 2010--Rock Creek Gardens

Sat, 24 Jul 2010 00:30:00 -0500

With the bride being a firefighter, the groom in line to be a paramedic and a guest list full of such folks, I am not sure I ever felt safer at a wedding. :-) This casual wedding at Rock Creek Gardens (gorgeous newer venue, by the way) was very serene. While we were doing the bridal party photos, I noticed a shovel off to the side of one of buildings. Thinking of the classic farmer couple and pitchfork image, I jokingly asked Jody if he'd seen a pitchfork laying around. The next thing I knew, he found one...and my desire to replicate this classic photo (a la Jen style) was born. --Jen

Yeah, but I kind of like my angle better honey, what do you think?

Lauren and Mike at Newcastle, a July wedding. We are so proud of this image. Perfect timing and spot-on technical skills are what it takes to capture a TRUE sunset photo. These colors and clouds are 100% real. Jen's been waiting for over ten years to shoot a sunset like this!

Christine & Jason--July 3, 2010--This couple exceeded our expectations of FUN. There is nothing they wouldn't do for some fun shots, including borrowing this ice cream truck which just happened to pass by while we were shooting at Kerry Park.
