Internationally Award Winning Wedding Photographer. Sounds good, right? I like it!
I took 17th overall in the International Society of Professional Wedding Photographers image contest. I was very happy with that considering I only entered five images! Below are the three that placed.

I love this image of Chinda & Cam's wedding when the little best man stomped off!

This image of Julia & Egor was taken in a field in Leavenworth. It took 10th Place for Framing the Subject.

This image of Ali was taken this summer in her suite at the Bellevue Club. It took 12th place in the Wedding Dress category.
Last week I was invited to show off my work at the Ravishing Radish open house. In addition to doing off-site catering, Ravishing Radish operates the Tyee Yacht Club. I also heard that they will be opening a restaurant called Ravish, which is very cool.

Setting up the Izzy Girl table. She was showing some of the coolest invitations I’ve seen.

Excellent steak by Ravishing Radish. They also served some great salads, nibblers and halibut.


Here is my table.

What does it say about me that I relished Dante’s Chicken Andouille sausage dog almost as much as the gourmet food inside?
Here is one from Sandy
Cory:
We love the wedding albums! We dropped off the parent albums over the weekend and our parents LOVED all the pictures you took and how wonderfully they were laid out in the books. It made me so happy to see my Mom with a big smile on her face as she flipped through the book. Thank you so much for all of your hard work!
Sandy

And here is one from Krissy:
We both absolutely love the pictures. We have gotten so many compliments from our friends about them, and about you as well. We’re looking forward to getting the albums squared away and starting to get pictures to put up in our new place!
Thanks!
-Krissy (and Chris)

I had a great time with Liz and Brian at the beach, lighthouse and the Ferry landing area of Mukilteo. It also worked out that it was the most beautiful day in a couple weeks!


I used a flash and radiopoppers (version 1) to light the couple and keep the dark blue skies.



I really like the way this image came out.

I loved this moody portrait by the seawall



When I saw this wall, i had a vision of Liz and Brian kissing while leaning up against the wall at night. I used a flash to try to recreate a street light.

Liz and Brian are such a happy couple that I thought this image really showed their fun side.
