Stunning couple. Beautiful work. As always. :)

@melina thanks so much... That means more than you know to know you leave this blog encouraged and inspired :) Thank you for the encouragement YOU offer ME!
Sarah and Chris,
You two are one of the most amazing people we have met. We are so happy that we invested in you and in turn invested in us. You have given us the confidence to proceed in our business. We won't forget the power of positive thinking and the rule of attraction. = )
thank you for being you...so inspiring and encouraging to others. I have definately grown because of you. thank you.
I also love those trees! I really like the first photo too. Isn't it cold outside?

Cute couple! I love those tall trees! Great job, Sarah :)
@John wow john thank you so much for your kind words.. really appreciated hearing those this morning! Rock on to you friend!
This post just blew my mind... You've got an eye for moments and framing unlike any I've seen before! It's always inspiring to see how much effort you put into your work and I think this wedding is right at the top of my favorite wedding photos list.
Thanks for being an inspiration!

You got to admit to yourself that you did a great shot of setting a visual mood in a very difficult situation of that cheap motel room the groom was in. Challanging situation to make something memorable and you pulled it off well. I often find myself in those difficult situations with less than grand locations and perfect models doing the fake wedding shoots. I have to hand it to you for doing a great job in "Any" Situation. That is a true test of a skilled pro shooter. In this day in age I see merely those who make fake blogs or prepackaged perfect staged weddings on those blogs. So seeing this set of images was refreshing.. I tip my hat to you..
Every time I visit your blog....I don't have to wonder, I just know. I know it's going to be great. :)
Absolutely beautiful. I love the shots of them on the beach and the bridge. Some really clever shots in here, and all wonderfully executed.
Another great wedding! You guys rocked it once again! :)

I have goosebumps!! These are amazing Sarah! Congrats to Jose & Anna :)
Sarah, I'm glad you guys are doing these types of posts. I've been wanting to post stuff other than photos all the time. bravo, once again!
I did this with my babies this Christmas. 2 years of photos. It was an inspiring project.
Thank you. This was just the right ending to a week of ups and downs thinking about business and creativity. Good to just sit back and watch your slideshow/album & reflect on what it means to make art, to share with others generously and with joy.
Hey Sarah,
Similar, I've been bothering my wife with all the iPad rumours as well. Like you I had a few dissappointments as well. In particular not able to multi-task (i.e., music in the background while I work). But oddly enough my wife now said she will buy a mac (instead of a PC) and it's going to be an iPad. And when I asked why? It's simple and looks easy to use w/o re-learning a new operating system (for the record, she uses my mac but sometimes ask how to do "x" or how do you do "y") and it's cheap. mmmhhh I guess that's been Apple's goal with this project.
By the way are you going to pick one up?!?!
Regards,
Carl from T.O.
@Chad thank you so much for recommending the Sketches of Frank Gehry" LOVE IT! So inspiring!
Hi Sarah. Great blog post as usual :) I also follow you on Twitter and have noticed the odd tweet about music that you are listening to while you work. It seems that you and Chris are huge music lovers and that you draw inspiration from listening to some of your faves. I think that music has an amazing ability to spark ideas and feed the creative soul. I'd love to hear more about what music is inspiring you right now!
Sarah, I waited under this very same 7-11 when I got caught in a rain storm on my motorbike. I drove this way everyday for almost a year. Love how you've captured it.
Yea for Seth Godin's new book!! I am definitely going to check that out! My husband is going to love it!
I LOVE Chris and Sarah's Corner please keep it up. Right now the post you guys have been doing have really inspired me. I'm not much of a reader but have read some of the books you have posted and I'm hooked. I think I have found my Zag.
Your right the I Pad is a glorified I Touch but I think as a photographer its a great tool.
Today I discouvered your blog. I'm really impressed! great photos and articles! I'm also digging the way you handled the menu. fresh!
greetz from germany!
My thoughts are:- that you guys inspire me no end everyday!!! I love looking at your photos, I love reading what you have to say and I love your passion for life and individuality! I'm definitely in your corner... :-)
Great post! Excited to read Linchpin (just downloaded the audio book). iPad leaves a bit to be desired (especially the name), still a must though. The Thailand slide show is awesome, really like all the portraits.
Also if you haven't seen this, here's something to hold you over till you get Linchpin. http://mixergy.com/linchpin-lizard-seth-godin/
matt and i were thinking of getting the ipad just for client meetings too. but not sure if that'll happen or if we really want to go there.
album awesome as always.
wow... your thailand album is amazing - your work never fails to inspire!
The album you designed is beautiful. Like, jaw dropping beautiful. I have TONS of personal pictures I've been wanting to do something like that with and I've just been pushing it to the side, so thanks for the reminder!
The album is beautiful. I'm excited you got to design an album for your own enjoyment. Can't wait to see pictures of the physical book when you receive it. Inspirational, as always.
@marywyar We love Vision Art books as well, however, Renaissance is going to do a friggin sweet book for us with a unique cover. I'll post it when we get it or you can go see it featured at their booth in Vegas
We watched "Sketches of Frank Gehry" a few weeks ago. Being architecture guru's, you two have probably seen it already, but i was so amazed at how Gehry's is so unafraid to zag. Its inspiring to see someone just going for it, not concerned with the trends or the norm or the status quo. Sounds like the Rhoads'.
I completely agree with you about the IPad. I knew it would land between the iphone and the macbook, but i expected it to be closer to the macbook, ie. more of a computer, and less of an ipod touch.
I'm really excited about Chris & Sarah's corner!
First of, love the Thailand album... makes me want to travel & document my travels properly instead of in a 'touristy' fashion. I am surprised to hear you're doing a Renaissance album with the design... curious to hear the options you're going to choose for binding so it doesn't feel like a 'wedding album'. I thought, while watching the slide show, I bet they're getting a Vision Art book from this...
Enjoyed every second of the Thailand album slideshow. Beautiful work, as usual. :)

Great post you guys! I think it is post like these that sets you apart from a lot of professional photographers out there - it is personal and human. I love it.
And I will agree on the iPad. I'm stoked to use it for the photog business but for some reason it seems like Apple had a slip up this time. Not usual for them.
Absolutely incredible photos from Thailand!
will check out the book. i am feeling 'meh' about the iPad though. will be traveling to singapore and indonesia (borneo and possibly bali), can't wait to shoot and make an album like you did. thanks too for the street photography tips!!
that window shot is sick! and love that you're incorporating film into your shoots- nailed that double exposure

Sarah and Chris,
Yoooou guys! Thank you so much for blessing us (and so many) with your talent and sweet friendship. We had such a great time with you and love, love, love the shots! I still get a kick out of Chris under that blanket... you know the one that got put on the dumpster ;p Hoping and looking forward to working with you again in the future, oh and our dinner date!
Thanks again!

legit. my band played with matt's band in the late 90's. i'm starting to feel so old.
@Patrina does she still have the blueberry fields? Next time you come to Seattle we should go blueberry picking :)
To expand on my tweet.. I really loved the story of the blueberry pie and your dad.. What a great story about a bond between family members.. I myself found it heart warming and interesting as I am preparing for my favorite uncle's 80th birthday "he doesnt look a day over 65".... The subtle lessons learned in the moments of sharing a bit of blueberry sweetness can last a lifetime... Mine growing up was the same but it was my aunts cheesecake that she made from scratch and the brutally honest conversations she shared with me.... I miss her firary redheaded spirit...
The way you describe this couple was perfect and the story a nice feel good. I really think you should do a blog on blueberry pie. Perhaps how to make it or were to find some or the best places to find it. I know this may be a bit off topic of you usual blog post or photos but I feel it will be a well accepted and equally enjoyable blog post for all....
I think all of us have a similar story that we can relate to when we grew up.. So I think this will touch many individuals on many levels. As usual the images are great... Makes me wish I still had my Sinar P 4x5 as well as not getting ride of my first camera a RB67 Pro S last month.. Keep up the great stories I think everyone loves them as much as the photos..
Knocked it out of the ballpark again. I just love that first set of four images.
So beautiful and lovely, as always. Such a treat to look at these.
And Sarah, now you've brought back my own childhood memories...my grandmother had blueberry fields just outside Seattle...ah, the sweetness.
Oooo...I love your flares! So so beautiful!
Love this couple's style so much. She reminds me of Christina Aguilera a little bit. Also...LOST...FINALLY.
ahhh!! i love this session. their style is top notch.
WOW! This is my favorite session of yours to date..well I am still obsessed with the images you created for Scott and I but this is amazing! Just when I think you guys cant get any better you do! I love seeing you guys grow as artists!! Lots of love!
meow! that's all i need to say. = )
Wow, Sarah & Chris! These are so so beautiful! You outdid yourselves here.
Wow, Sarah & Chris! These are so so beautiful!
Beautiful images, beautiful couple! :)
Oh wow, this is def. one of my fav. couple's shoot! Loved it! Amazing job!
These are wonderful. I've had the pleasure of getting to know these two through now distant recording sessions with Blenderhead and they are fabu folk.
you're rad. love that you linked the breyer's website, hands down, best vanilla ice cream ever... it's like pure vanilla + cream. happy LOST day!!! :)
wow, everything about this is stunning!
i really really like this one. i have always thought that Kings would be such an awesome place for a photo shoot. love the photo wall and the buck heads.
gorgeous shots in the ballard district. loving the storefront shots the best :)
Beautiful beautiful.... The film! Oy. Now I really want a tall boy and a burger... and a stack of quarters.
these are lovely...what a gorgeous couple and beautiful locations. your work is inspirational and she has awesome style :)
