Elegant, modern, unique photography for ordinary people. Seattle and Vancouver Washington.
One of the most awesome things for me is when I get to work with clients more than once. Carmen’s mom, Shellynda is super nice and has sent me a lot of work recently. As far as this shoot I’ve been playing around more with my flash. It’s starting to become attached at my hip. My fav shots in this setting are the shots of Carmen in the wheat field at sunset. It looks totally epic and I think we both had a total blast doing this.
The World Concern “Free Them” 5k Run was held at the CRISTA campus in Shoreline/Seattle today (May 1st). The “Free Them” run was started to raise money to help put an end to human trafficking… such a wretched thing! If ever there was a cause to fight for it is human trafficking. Just watch the movie “Taken” with Liam Neeson and it will get you fired up about the issue. Ending human trafficking is a cause everyone can and should stand behind – speaking plainly. I originally was just going to take photos of my old college roomie, Joseph Lee, but when he took me on a tour of World Concern and I got to meet all of his coworkers they seemed like they would be interested in photos of the event. Of course I was obliged for such an awesome cause (if you haven’t caught my drift yet) so I woke up quite early to snap the following shots:
Oh and by the way… I don’t think I’ve mentioned it here but I’m living in Seattle officially now (have been for about a month). I’m living with my OTHER old roommate, David Chen. I’m shooting his wedding later this summer in exchange for rent at his place. It’s a great deal for both of us, especially because I’m now only 15 minutes away from Allison, who ironically also works at CRISTA but in the senior living area. She loves the people there and I’m beginning to see why. You can see from the pictures this is quite a fun bunch. ‘nJoy
ONE more thing… You can feel free view / download / buy all of the other pictures I took HERE (http://www.zenfolio.com/onephotonerd/p823929524/) All I ask is that you spread the word that there is a cool new photographer in town. By the way… the cool new photographer is me.

I love a good group of animated people and that is exactly what the Jake and Katie wedding was like. Jake and Katie as well as the whole bridal party met doing theater together and let me tell you, their attitudes (especially the bridesmaids) was nothing short of ‘theatrical’. When a wedding photographer (or at least one such as myself) meets with the bridal party it’s a slam dunk wedding when you see “bitchin’ bridesmaids” on their tank top, or see them offering me a champagne out of a coffee mug. The wedding was on a Friday at the Hilton in Downtown Portland off of Broadway street right next to the Pioneer Courthouse Square. This was my first wedding in DT Portland and I have to say that I’m a big fan of city weddings. I still have a ton of photos and videos to get through but have a look at a quick preview:

Todd, Ashley, Marley and Me had a fun time on Marley’s first photoshoot. She did surprisingly well. All this talk of “terrible twos” that i’ve been hearing maybe just hype. Marley did great and even had a few wardrobe changes after about 3 locations. Also, near the end you will see some pictures that I did for Nadia later that day. I love Trista Martin’s creative take on life and we always work great together when it comes to planning sets. It was her idea to place the pink chair in the middle of nowhere and I think it turned out awesome. I hope you enjoy the pictures. On a more personal note… I’ll be moving up north to Seattle soon. I will be traveling back and forth between Vancouver and Seattle (as I already do). If you’re looking to book me for a shoot make sure to send me an email so we can arrange things. I’m gunna be moving in with my old roommate, David Chen, in exchange for shooting his wedding. I’m very excited to move back in with a very good friend, but more importantly to be only 15 minutes away from Allison. WOOT!

I’ve been meeting with Amanda and her mom, Donna for quite some time now. We’ve been going over wedding preparations, scheduling, photographs, everything. I remember saying, plan for extra time because unexpected things will always come up – they always do. That’s exactly what happened yesterday. The makeup appointment was mis-scheduled by the beautician and they were stuck in Portland traffic which led to 1.5 hours behind schedule. Needless to say I was getting a bit nervous but luckily we had a lot of extra time planned in to everything. Let that be a lesson to anyone planning a wedding! Anyways, working with Amanda, Seth, and the whole crew was a blast. The guys were awesome, I heard about 5 “that’s what she said” jokes, a lot of them seemed to know my brother, Jason, and they all seemed pretty down to earth. The ladies rocked and gave me kudos for knowing to smile with the eyes (thanks Tyra Banks). Once they made that reference I knew they would be down for a little bit of a wedding/runway/fashion show. That’s what we did during some of the girls’ group shots.
Needless to say, I had a blast, my feet were dead tired and had sores, but I survived off of my double shot of Spark. Well anyways, take a look at the sneak peek. Some of these photos you have to had been there to appreciate but you’ll get the idea.
And here is a little something I put together for Amanda and her bridesmaids. They danced the Hoedown Throwdown by Miley Cyrus and I have to say it was pretty amusing to watch so I decided to put this together. Enjoy:
