Jayme, Brandon and their family were great. This is one of those weddings that was a lot of work, but a real pleasure. From early morning to late evening and even a trash the dress session the following week. Jayme & Brandon were into it and that makes amazing things happen. This was one of those projects that makes me love my job because the couple was so in
It seemed we were all over the Wenatchee Valley taking photos (including the crazy cool wakeboard images on the river). The ceremony was at Highlander Golf Club, which was incredible. For a light fanatic like myself, it’s hard to beat the sweeping sunset view of the valley that we had from Highlander during the ceremony and reception.
Jayme & Brandon have 68 pages of memories in their album to go along with a stunning 36in canvas of the image above. I also surprised them with my new Fusion slideshow. I won’t explain it here, but if you know Jayme & Brandon well, you’ve probably already heard about it. You can see it as well the complete proof gallery via the links above. You can also order prints from the proof gallery. Here’s a slideshow of the printed album Jayme & Brandon will be receiving, as well as a few random favorites. Enjoy. I know I did.
A few weeks ago I had a great wedding for Mike and Jessica at Cave B Estate (near Ellensburg WA). I was joined by my buddy Matt, from Shumate Photography who helped out as my second shooter. Jess and Mike just couldn’t seem keep their hands off each other ;) so we kept on the go with lots of great moments.
Creation is awesome. The day started with some stunning distant clouds. About the time everyone was prepped it had started pouring down rain. While rain on a wedding day is not ideal, I was determined to make good use of it. Jessica needed to get to the main lobby to see Mike for the first look. I found her an umbrella and she and Gina ran from the getting ready room down to the main lobby. I ended up lying on the ground in the rain shooting like crazy and having a blast. My white slacks got wet and dirty and my camera got soaked (it’s still working) but the results made a great addition to their collection.
The rest of the day was no less successful. The rain stopped just before the ceremony started. Rain in this area is often quick and this was just perfect. It was cool but not cold and the clouds, now moving away made a breathtaking backdrop for their outdoor ceremony. We even snuck off for some evening shots of the Cave B bluffs around sunset. More of those in the album.
All in all the day was a huge success. Jess and Mike have returned from a great honeymoon in Costa Rica and were just in for their proofing. I’m stoked about their images and they loved them too. So much so that they had a hard time making the final decisions. The album slideshow above tells the whole story and below you’ll find a link to the proof gallery for those of you that want to see the nearly 400 images and/or order prints. Enjoy… Gav
Here’s a great wedding I photographed for Misty & Thad. They had their big day at this neat old estate on Lake Chelan. We even went out on the lake in the evening for some of those hot romance images. This was a little crazy, because I was driving the boat too! They were kissing while I was shooting and steering. Misty and Thad were great though and I think you’ll agree the results are too.
They’ll be getting an album and a beautiful canvas wall portrait for their home. Here’s a couple favorites. You can view the album slideshow below for the whole story. Enjoy… Gav
Stacia is actually my cousin and it was an honor photographing her and Claton’s. It happened at my Aunt Sheryl’s house in Kent WA and the turned out beautifully. They even had this amazing tent that covered nearly the entire yard. Not a cheap vinyl tent, but the real deal, like something from a movie that you could use for an oasis in the dessert.
Towards evening I took Stacia & Clayton up to Druids Glen for some great sunset images with an amazing view of Mount Rainier. The results were beautiful and they’ll be getting a thirty inch canvas of that first image. Here’s some of my favorites, as well as a slideshow of their storybook album… Enjoy… Gav
Their finally here. Usually proofs get out much quicker, but Chaz & Jeanette have a busy schedule and it took some planning to coordinate. I managed to get them in for proofs Sunday and everything came out great.
The trees were green and the river was just a few steps away. Chaz & Jeanette had a great afternoon wedding at their parents new country home near Leavenworth WA. They did great and we got great results that are going to look great as large prints on the wall.
Here’s a few favorites. Poke around and take a minute to play the slideshow of their amazing album. Enjoy… Gavin
