It’s been a long time since I’ve posted any weddings, I just haven’t gotten around to it.  Those things are a lot of work and I was done working on them!  Anyhoo, Jeff & Leslie were married in October of 2009 with a very small ceremony at the Capilano Suspension Bridge Park in North Vancouver, BC, Canada.  The site is quite a photogenic pacific northwest rainforest with a large suspension bridge connecting the main park to the heavily wooded ewok forest.  Yup, I said ewok.  The other side of the park is connected together via the “Treetop Adventure” zone with elevated suspension bridges going tree to tree just like in Return of the Jedi, minus the storm troopers, light sabers, ewoks, wookie, and of course Han Solo and Princess Lea.  All weird descriptions aside the Treetop Adventure zone is a really cool collection of bridges, forest textures and boardwalks that is the most unique spot I’ve had the opportunity to shoot a wedding at.  Rain or shine, it made for a great location to shoot at.

A few months ago, Eric Woodruff let me know he was getting married and talked with me about shooting photos for his wedding.  I was pretty excited to do so, I used to work with Eric back in the day when I was at The Canyons Resort as the photo/web/video guy there for a few years.  He’s one of the nicest guy’s I know so I knew it would be fun, getting to meet, shoot, and party with a bunch of good new people.  Just like the last wedding I shot, everyone danced a lot and late into the night, including the parents.  Another thing I was pretty stoked about was that Eric and Kary wanted more candid photos, instead of setup portraits.  These are usually a lot more fun, especially with a fun crowd that we had there and working when it’s fun is always a bonus!

I got in touch with Winnie Forbes (now, Winnie Brinker) about doing a wedding with her as her 2nd shooter last summer for Cobey and Sarah’s wedding. As it turns out it was at Blessed Sacrament Church in Seattle, Washington where I had shot a wedding the previous year so she was stoked, already knew the location, etc. Winnie brought me on to roll with the guys and shoot with them while she took care of the girls. Yah, the guys are easy so I was stoked. It was a super laid back group so it was pretty easy and to make matters even better, Casey from Mindcastle Studios was there doing the video so for a lot of things, he directed what he was doing and I just rolled with it and shot what was going on with that which was really cool. Casey had some good ideas and was super good work with and Danielle.

This was a super fun wedding to shoot.  I’ve known Ashley since birth so it made this one super fun knowing a bunch of people there.  The wedding took place at Emmanuel Episcopal Church in Mercer Island, Washington where Ashley’s father Terry plays the organ for.  Ashley looked amazing and made it easy to get a lot of good photos.  We went out to one of the small waterfront landing parks on the East side of Mercer Island to get a few waterfront photos as well and finishing the night at the Lake Union Cafe in Seattle, Washington for the reception which was a really cool venue.  So, I’ve gotten a chance to edit through a few of the photos, I’ll post some more later.

So I got to go down to the Sorrel River Ranch in Moab, Utah for the wedding of Matt and Elisibeth. The place was amazing, one of those places where it was pretty much impossible not to get great photos! The scenery was gorgeous with red rock walls, mesas, the Colorado River along side the resort as well as being a beautiful ranch. I was stoked. The weather also cooperated giving us an awesome sunset. I hope I get to go back and shoot another wedding at Sorrel River Ranch It’s a great place!
