So, about a week ago I hopped on a plane to take some bridal pictures of my sister, Dawn. I wasn't able to attend her wedding, due to my work-schedule, so I made her put her dress back on so I could see her in it. :-) I LOVE the pictures we got, but I have a few more sessions on my plate before I finish her pics.
I literally was in Seattle for 24 hours, so my time was very limited, however, I was able to tromp around Pike's Place Market before my flight and had a "photo safari" with my other sister, Katie. I had fun teaching her a few camera "tricks"...her biggest discovery was EXPOSURE COMPENSATION...love it! :-) Anyhow, here are pics from Seattle, mostly Pike's Place Market, which is about 3 blocks for Katie's pad.
Enjoy!
Lots of street performers!

About two weeks ago, me and the family went to Casselman's Bar for the Food Network Roller-Derby Cake-off viewing party. Denver's very own Rachael, owner of Intricate Icings, was one of the contestants on the show. If you haven't seen any of Rachael's work, check out her website, she is amazingly creative and highly talented! The images below represent some of the goodies that were at the viewing party. Rachael is pictured on the big screen, along with her cake-drawing. The judges faulted her for being "too perfect"...come on man, her cake was AMAZING!!!

OK, so after the formal pictures were done at Firesky in Scottsdale, my second-shooter, Jeanette, and the wedding party hopped on the party bus to Inspirador. Jeanette captured some awesome moments on the bus, looks like a BLAST!!
If you'd like to see all the vendors involved in their wedding, please visit my PART 1, my previous post. :-)
Once we got to the venue, it was BEAUTIFUL!!! I LOVED Andrea and Craig's colors!! The fun thing about shooting with two photographers are the different perspectives we get when looking at a certain object. The cake is a GREAT example! The image on the left is Jeanette's, which was probably shot with her wide-angle lens. The image on the right is mine and was shot with my 85mm lens. Two different looks, I LOVE it!
Here are a couple shots from the ceremony:
And, one last shot of their first dance:
THANKS AGAIN you two, you are truly WONDERFUL people!! I miss you all and wish you both a beautiful married life together, happily ever after!

About a week and a half ago I went back to Phoenix to shoot the wedding of Andrea and Craig. I have so many awesome things to say about this couple...they are kind, so much in-love, flippin' hilarious, made for each other and down-right rad people. I was so thankful to be a part of their special day!
I met Andrea at a Phoenix Bridal Fair about 2+ years ago and she actually nannied for one of my good friends in Spokane, WA. I am so glad she came up and introduced herself!! She now works at Inspirador, so brides, if you need a wedding venue in the Phoenix area, give her a jingle, you'll be in good hands!
There were so many fun pictures in this wedding, I had to make it a two-parter. Part two will be bus ride (won't want to miss these pics), ceremony and reception. Here are the awesome vendors who made Andrea and Craig's day go off without a hitch:
Photographers: Keri Doolittle Photography, assisting me were Jeanette LeBlanc Photography and Janet Bruun Photography (THANKS LADIES!!)
Accomodations: Firesky Resort
Venue: Inspirador
Flowers: Flower Power Weddings
Dress: Lillian Lottie Couture
Catering: Creative Hands Cuisine
Cake: Phoenix Cake Company
Hair/Make-up: Kensington Make-Up Artists
Andrea and Craig opted for a first-look before the ceremony, which makes the wedding timeline flow flawlessly, I love it!!
Love this shot of the first-look that Jeanette captured! Pure emotion!
The picture below is a good representation of their personalities, so much fun!!
PART TWO will be up TOMORROW!!!
Andrea says:
These are absolutely amazing!!! I love them all and can't wait to see part two tomorrow. You are so talented. We could not be more thankful that you were with us to capture our big day!

I love the sassiness of this bride. Also Keri is so true about the first look with a couple. I also think as a planner, that even more than the timeline is the speical moment you get together. I think it is so romantic for them to see each other while they have time to acutally grasp what is going on and embrace the moment.

I am back (ish) from vacation/weddings, etc. I do have one more day of vacation, which I am spending at the Colorado Rockies game with my mom tonight. Tomorrow I head out for Seattle, but will be back late Sunday evening, in hopes to start blogging again on Monday. To tide you over for the weekend, here is a product from MPIX PRO that I will probably start carrying on a regular basis. They are custom CD cases and custom CD's. The template is from the ever-so-talented Mary from Paper and Ink Studio. She does AMAZING work!!
Enjoy the images and I will chat with you all on Monday!! Have a GREAT weekend!

I feel as though your sockeye pics have more distortion then mine do I feel like you can't even tell mine are sockeye style. YOU got some good ones here. I feel as though I am going to need a story board.
(09.03.10 @ 09:10 AM)I love Pikes Place! So many cool things and the people watching....
(09.03.10 @ 10:01 AM)I expecially like the hula and skyline picture. Seattle is one of Lauren and I's favorite place and would love to live there someday!
(09.03.10 @ 12:25 PM)Beautiful! I am loving the wide angle action!
