Jon and Lisa engagement shoot



Emily and I stalked Jon and Lisa around Discovery park to get some engagement photos. Jon and Lisa hired me to shoot their wedding in December and I'm looking forward to it. We had a lot of fun and I loved the area we were in. I'm definitely coming back to Discovery park more often. The trees were changing colors and we were able to catch some great light just before sunset. We saw at least two other groups doing engagement photos so I guess the words out on this spot. Check out the pictures after the break...

nate + katie

Nate and Katie got married. I have proof....

We really enjoyed shooting Nate and Katie's wedding in Seattle. The ceremony was at Bethany Community Church (which just so happens to be the church I go to) and the ceremony was at the Century Ballroom in Capitol Hill. This was my first wedding with my new second shooter/assistant/lover Emily. Nate and Katie are all around great people and a lot of fun too. Nate and I used to work together and I was friends with Katie in college so it was fun to be with old friends. It was one of my more challenging shoots I'll admit. The time constraints of a friday afternoon wedding don't leave much wiggle room. Also it was one of the hottest days of the summer and I tend to work up a good amount of heat running around shooting. So I was sweating buckets. We were doing most of the shooting at the worst possible time of the day with direct overhead sun in a cloudless sky. It was crazy bright out too, the kind of bright that burns your eyes if you don't have sunglasses on. Feel bad for me yet? Did I mention it was hot? :) Anyhew, I think we were able to get some good ones.
