Darby & Reece are some of the most sincerely gracious people you could ever meet. They truly LOVE people and life. Darby is a school teacher and Reece is a film producer. We felt so honored to be a part of their wedding. Everyone felt like a friend, every second felt like a celebration. Their day was honest, down to earth, imaginative, quirky and creative. These guys were a perfect couple for us :)

These two had an amazing wedding in Santa Barbara, California overlooking the ocean. Darby & Reece thought of all of the little things and their day was a total reflection of them. I think it's pretty safe to say that they used my favorite color pallet of all time, accenting everything with a soft & pretty yellows, yummy green's and muted grey's. It was light and happy with a little bit of throw-back :). I loved all of the unique little elements and ideas these two implemented into their day. If you want to see some fun out-takes from Darby & Reeces's Smilebooth you can check out the slideshow here

Sarah Danaher says: Tuesday, August 24, 2010, 08:44 AM

I'm rather in love with the "guestbook tree." What a *brilliant* idea!!

Lovely wedding! The lemons are great :)

Alex & Doug are candy to the eyes and they are sweet as pie :) 
Chris and I had a blast shooting their wedding.  We fell in love with their friends and family who made us both feel like we had been a part of the "family" for a lifetime. My favorite quality about Doug and Alex is that they don't take life too seriously. They know how to kick back and enjoy the ride. These two are "granola's" ;) through and through and love being outdoors, traveling and embracing adventure. After all, adventure is what this life is all about, and Alex and Doug seek it out in their lives. I love that.

These two had an outdoor ceremony on a perfect Seattle day. The trees hugged around us and we could feel the warmth of the sun on our backs. It was casual but thoughtful and people laughed easily.... that is my kind of day. Alex & Doug had a great crew on board to help them make their day amazing. You can check them out below. Enjoy!

Aw, these images bring back wonderful memories for me. This is where I got married! Love the framing with the trees and the emotion you always seem to capture so perfectly.

Tori says: Wednesday, August 18, 2010, 07:45 PM

Oh my goodness. The images you captured in the trees were my favorite! Although all of these were absolutely breathtaking. I felt as if I was following them around to sneak a peek!

Kevin Wrenn Photography says: Monday, August 16, 2010, 08:07 PM

The most important thing a wedding photographer can do is reflect in images the love between two beings. You both did this so precisely! Great job!

tina florance says: Monday, August 16, 2010, 07:52 PM

Stephanie & Kylan taught me a lot more about the important things in life at their wedding. 
A) I learned to hug better - Kylan might be the worlds greatest hugger. When Kylan hugs someone, he really means it and you can feel the love. 
B) I learned to laugh harder- Stephanie comes from a family of people who cherish laughing, like the kind of belly laughs that give you an ab workout. Those are the best kind.
C) I learned to smile bigger - One of my very favorite things about Steph and Kylan is their smiles when they look at one another or hear the other person's name. It is the kind of smile that is uninhibited, rich, and goes from ear to ear. I just LOVE it. 
D) I learned a lot about humility - Stephanie & Kylan are the type of people who would take the shirt off their back for just about anyone. They are humble and treat people with compassion, love and understanding. 
Bottom line is this, a lot of times you see peoples' true colors on their wedding day. The truth is, Stephanie and Kylan have lots of pretty colors in their rainbow :) We like them a lot. If I were stranded on an island somewhere I would want them with me. 

Their wedding was a true reflection of them. It took place at the Lairmont Manor in Bellingham. These two met back in middle school and re-connected in college and well, the rest is history as they say. They had a beautiful outdoor ceremony on one of the prettiest days the northwest has ever seen. It was gorgeous and what a magical day it was!

Aces. One of my faves from you in a while. They look like a super-fun couple.

Tuesday, July 27, 2010, 08:05 AM
Jessica & Colin were so excited to marry one another. It was adorable. They have been together for years and have deep roots. Right now they are gallivanting around Europe for a few weeks and exploring the world. These two had a great wedding in Bellingham a couple of weeks ago at Boundary Bay Brewery. It was our first time out to Bellingham and I think it's pretty safe to say that it is the ice cream capitol of the world. I have never seen so many ice cream places in my life. If I wasn't working I would have been double fisting some serious gelato ice cream the entire afternoon. 

Lucky for us we got to spend the afternoon celebrating with Jessica & Colin and their wonderful friends and family. Look out for their amazing Smilebooth for some laughs later this week.
