Meet the lovely Adam & Camery. They were recently married at the Seattle LDS Temple in Bellevue, WA. All I can say is they are completely and madly in love. The entire day they had huge smiles on their faces. I felt so lucky to be around them on their first day as husband and wife. Camery’s daughter, Natalie, is one of the most beautiful little girls I have ever met! We’re so happy for their little family! Thanks to Jeff Marsh for tagging along for the day!

Rain didn’t stop Greg and Sabrina (Chewie and Bean) from enjoying their beautiful wedding at the Golden Gardens Bathhouse in Ballard. The couple designed and created all of the details which perfectly fit their fun personality. We are so happy for Chewie and Bean!

Brandon and Sadie were married in a private ceremony at the Bountiful LDS Temple, following which a ring ceremony and a beautiful reception were held at the Eldredge Manor in Bountiful. The details were beautiful and everything looked fantastic, but the best part of this wedding was the couple. Brandon and Sadie are extremely sweet and caring, and throughout the entire day they were more concerned and interested in the happiness and well being of the guests than in their own comfort. They were calm and relaxed and it was evident that they truly enjoyed their day.

Ken and Brianna were married at the Blessed Sacrament Parish in Seattle. The parish was recently remodeled, and we were very excited to photograph its beautiful detail. Following the ceremony, the reception was held at Salty’s on Alki, where family and friends joined in the celebration! Ken and Brianna are a sweet couple, and we were so honored to be a part of their day.

Ken and Brianna are getting married in April. Take a peak at their groomal session!

We recently had the great opportunity to shoot the wedding of Kylie and Brock at Farragut State Park near Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. The gorgeous scenery provided the perfect backdrop for the union of these middle school sweethearts! The weather was gorgeous, the ceremony was beautiful, and the reception was smashing! I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a bride and groom so relaxed an comfortable on their wedding day. They spent the day laughing, smiling and making jokes — simply enjoying their day!




































Special thanks to our brother, Matt Shumate, for the opportunity to work together on this beautiful day.

July 17th, 2009 turned out to be a beautiful day to tie the knot. We were thrilled to be asked to capture their most special day at The Orting Manor, a gorgeous Victorian-style venue in downtown Orting. Travis’ brother, Matt Shumate, came out from Spokane to help cover the wedding.

It was a hot day in the shadow of Mt. Rainier, but both both Adrian and Melissa remained remarkably relaxed and cool. I cried through the entire ceremony — wedding’s just have that effect on me! The reception was also sweet. Travis and I were able to dance to “Passing Afternoon” by Iron and Wine — the same song we danced to on our own wedding day.

Adrian and Melissa are getting married in one week! We recently went with them to take some photographs of them in their wedding clothes, in preparation for their big day. We hid them from each other until we were at the first location, ready to take photographs. It was Adrian’s first time seeing Melissa in her dress, and it was Melissa’s first time seeing Adrian in a suit. (It was also Adrian’s first time wearing a suit!) Needless to say, it was a very sweet moment.










Favorite shot of the day!
