Maggi and Jon. So in love. So awesome.
Their venue, The Orchard at Sunshine Hill in Chehalis, WA, is new — so new that they were the first couples married there. And we'd shoot there any day of the week (twice on Sunday).
Seriously. So awesome. Just watch.
A drone for engagement photos? Why not?!
Ok, it was only for a few shots, but to capture the grandeur of the University of Washington, we had to get higher.)
Seattle's UW Arboretum provides so many backdrops that it can be overwhelming. So we arrived well in advance and planned out our path. We hit lots of places and made great use of the time. Then it was off to the UW campus to shoot in The Quad and Red Square. (Oh the memories!)
Gabbie and Evan are a wonderful couple — we're truly looking forward to shooting their wedding in 2017!
Danielle and Travis have been together for nearly a decade, so now you'll understand her sister's speech. 😊 But it's clear they were ready — and they still look for extra kisses from each other.
The ceremony at Christ the King in Richland, WA was cute — check out how both Danielle and her mom had difficulties extinguishing the match for the unity candle. (It was cute!)
And the reception at the Three Rivers Convention Center was wonderful — great lighting from Platinum Entertainment made the night a resounding success.
You have to see highlights from the father-daughter dance toward the end…don't be chicken!
Marcellia & Steven know how to throw a party!
And The Moore Mansion is the place to be. The Moore Mansion in Pasco, WA is the classic location in the Tri-Cities. It's the mainstay go-to place for a regal wedding.
We gently pulled them from their rocking reception for some awesome photos (and video footage) along the Columbia River at sunset. (Oh man do we love shooting then and there.)
Check out their cute movies!
Farms weddings are awesome:
Amber and Tyler married at a family farm in Othello WA, and it was perfect. (And the clouds overhead made our jobs easier.)
Sometimes you know a couple will make it. It's the way they look at each other. It's the way the talk about each other. It's the looks they give each other.
Amber and Tyler are in it for the long haul — expect to see them in their 80s, winning the Anniversary Dance at their grandchild's wedding!
“We love the photos! You two did such an amazing job catching all the special moments. ”
Vanessa & Edward had a crazy day – more rain bucketed down in Pasco that day than any wedding we'd shot in the last decade.
But we watched the weather closely, and skipped out to the park for a short photo session before the storm hit again. This power couple is loads of fun!
Kapo & John's wedding venue — a residence in Richland, WA — was wonderful, but didn't have shade for photos. And they didn't want to take time away from their wedding. But they had a brilliant idea – one we wish everyone would do!…
We shot their wedding photos a week ahead of time! This meant they were more relaxed, they didn't waste others' time, and we could take them anywhere.
The proof is in the pudding, and I think we made good use of their idea.
Julian and Mireya hit us up for engagement photos. When we tell people about the photographer's Golden Hour, this is what we're talking about!
We took them to Columbia Park in Kennewick WA, and to the beautiful Kennewick Lighthouse.
The first two photos is of them reading their bible – such a cute idea of theirs!
Stephanie & Devin may be young, but they're in love. And super-cute together. And we're so lucky to have exclusive access to a secret winery in Benton City!
We thank Devin for his service in the United States Marines. We can't wait to shoot their wedding next September!
“These pictures are amazing…this made my day. Thank you so much!”
We had a first at Firefly – filling in for an injured photographer. One of our photographer friends suffered a concussion and asked us to fill in. We felt it's quite an honor to be asked!
With just a few weeks before the wedding, we scrambled to learn about Tralisa & Ty and their plans. (Thankfully, they're pretty laid back.) He'd proposed at Howard Amon Park in Richland, so they asked that we do the "first look" there. The Shiloh Inn made a good backdrop to the rest of their day.
We were thrilled to capture their day and hope you enjoy the results!
“We just wanted to let you know how much we LOVE our photos and how thankful we are that you guys shot our wedding! We have struggled with narrowing down our favorites for our album like crazy but that’s compliments to all your wonderful photos! We just wanted to thank you so much for all you did! We highly recommend you to anyone who asks. Thanks again!”
