Mike & Jessica… The Album Slideshow.

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.

Wedding Photo Of The Week, Amber Waves of Beer.

You never knew what will happen at a reception, so my motto is to be ready. One of my favorite things to do once the party is rolling, is to step get back with a long lens and just watch. This was a wedding in at the Spokane Club. I was standing on a chair on the sidelines looking for moments and the groomsman decided to just use the pitcher. The bridesmaid looks totally disgusted, but as I recall she dared him to do it and well, you know the things woman can drive us to do.

This was not really a wild wedding, but people had fun. It had been a long day and it felt good just relax, observe and catch some moments… Gav

You had some awesome weddings in 2009 and it was a pleasure being a part of your days. Here’s to super cool weddings in 2010. Enjoy and see you there… Gav

Bridal Fashion session in Wenatchee

Bridal Fashion session in Wenatchee wedding photography

I recently had a bridal fashion session for Chris, a custom bridal seamstress. She had a beautiful silk gown she wanted to feature, along with a coordinating birdcage veil (birdcage veils are really hot. I predict they’ll be a trend in the next few years). Anyways we wanted venue that would allow us to be bold while getting a bit of vintage style. We decided on the Ivy Wild Inn, a historic mansion in Wenatchee WA.

Our model was a beautiful young woman named Leslie and she did great, even trooping against the cold weather with no problem. We had the mansion to ourselves for a few hours and the results were perfect. Classic window lighting, colorful roof tiles nearly everything else we needed. There’s already two forty inch canvas pieces at my lab that Chris will use to show her clients the potential of a great gown.

The top is my favorite. Leslie standing out on the balcony, a Speedlight coming from behind and the lines and angles of the Inn make this image nearly perfect. The whole set met all my hopes however so without further adieu here’s some more favorites including lots of B&W. Enjoy… Gav

Thad & Misty… The Album.

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
