Hey everyone. Here’s my latest wedding. Gordon & Shelley had a beautiful afternoon ceremony at Pine River Ranch near Leavenworth WA. There was a beautiful mountain view from the ceremony area and for the reception, a great old barn that’s been restored with modern amenities.
Around the grounds there were plenty of great locations for portraits including paths meadows and just that great fresh air feeling. The meadows out towards the river had this amazing tall grass. It felt like we were in Sherwood forest.
Shelley & Gordon are getting back from their honeymoon in Kuaui any day, so I wrapped up the editing and designed their storybook album. Here’s the sideshow to bring it all together. Feel free to share your comments. Enjoy… Gav
I photographed this fun wedding at the Spokane Club for Ashley and Robert two Saturdays ago. It’s down near Riverfront Park in Spokane WA. It was a long 15hr day, but everyone did great the urban location made for amazing photographs. Ashley an Bob (Robert) were really fun to work with and we had a great time, ending the night with some amazing sparkler images.
I’ve finished prep and album design finished ahead of schedule. There were so many beautiful images, that trying to keep the album to a reasonable size was a challenge. Here’s a slidshow of the story. The the pages you see here will be printed in one of our leather storybooks with the gorgeous 10×20 spreads. It’s going to be beautiful. Enjoy… Gav
Today I received a copy if Rick Sammon’s new book, Digital Wedding Photography Secrets. I was honored to be invited by Rick to contribute a page of tips to this great book. Here’s a picture of my page which features my well known Look To The Wind bridal portrait taken on the Washington coast. My article deals with using HDR to make amazing wedding portraits. For those of you who want to read the whole page, as well as all the other great tips and information in this book, you’ll have to get a copy… Gavin
I’m very excited about my 2009 weddings. My summer calender is filling up I’m shooting some really great weddings and locations all over Washington. Stay tune to the blog because I post images from every wedding.
I’ll be hitting some cool locations, like Woodland Park Zoo, Leavenworth, Cave B Inn, Spokane, Port Orchard and more, for what’s shaping up to be some really Amazing weddings.
I’ll also be using the new 5D MK II which is an incredible camera. I try not to put too much stock in what I shoot with, because in the end it’s not the gear but the experience behind it. Still it’s hard not be be excited. The images this camera makes are AMAZING!
I do still have some summer dates available. I’m also taking bookings for winter 09, and 2010. If your interested in booking wedding just get in touch.
Next Saturday Jan 17th Sondra and I will be at the Wenatchee Convention Center for the Bridal Premier hosted by Katrina’s. The 17th also happens to be my birthday :)
Anyways it’s always a fun show and is much more relaxed than many shows around the state. To top it off the admission is FREE for visitors. Just like it should be. I’ve exhibited at other shows in the past, but these days I just do Bridal Premiere. This must be my fourth year there.
I have some really neat things in store, including the new red leather KISS book album, canvas wedding wraps and more. Stop by the booth and see us. We’ll be right by the main entrance. My 2009 dates are really filling up so if you want to book you should contact me.
I’d like to give a shout out to all my brides and grooms from 2008. It was great working with you. I look forward to seeing you all at 2009 weddings around the State. Here’s a few of my favorite photo’s from 2008. You can also check out the wedding archive for more shots from these weddings. Enjoy, and I’ll see you at the show… Gavin
