Winter Wedding in Richland, WA

Sunday, January 18th, 2009

I had the honor of shooting this young couple’s wedding.  The bride’s father happens to be someone very important to me and my family; he is our Pastor.  So, I’ve included a few more pictures than usual in a single post…hope you enjoy!

The wedding had a winter theme which is interesting because they both just graduated from the University of Hawaii.  How do they even know what winter looks like?  They grew up in the Tri-Cities, of course.

One of my favorite parts of the wedding day is the first look.  I love the anticipation!

Dive, dive, dive!!!  You can’t get the garter unless you give 110%.

Aaron Pelly was kind enough to second shoot for me.  He did a great job…here are a few of his photos.

Cold Weather Portraits - Richland, WA

Tuesday, January 6th, 2009

About a month ago, this wonderful family braved the chilly weather with me and we got some fun family portraits.  We photographers are like the Post Office (but nicer) - we’ll work through rain, sleet, or snow.

Everyone say, “Squeeze!”
