Just wanted to share a quick image from our wedding last weekend in Maui with Andrea & Jeremiah. Many more to come...

Hope everyone is having a happy Saturday. No wedding for us this Saturday (I think no one wanted to get married on 9/11) so we are shooting a wedding tomorrow. So today we took the day and relaxed. It is turning autumn which is my favorite season of the year. I absolutely adore fall. Something about the crisp air, the leaves changing, cardigans, scarfs and tea just fits my personality perfectly.  It is the season the reminds us that time is lurching forward despite our efforts to make it stand still. So for me, autumn is the season the reminds me to hug the ones I love tightly and take time out for coffee dates and writing hand written notes. Not because I have any extra time in this season compared to others, but simply because I'm reminded of how important it is to just TAKE the time, otherwise it will slip by us and before we know it, it is a new year.

After all, time is the greatest gift we have to give in this life and there are very limited quantities of it... happy Saturday friends.

It was so nice to be home for a few weeks in August shoot some local weddings here in Seattle. We've been traveling so much this year it is nice when we can be home during one of the prettiest seasons of the year in Seattle, Summer! Theresa & Serimon got married on a beautiful August day at The Seattle Tennis Club. There is nothing greater than outdoor weddings overlooking the water on a perfect day in Seattle. 

This was so fun to be a part of.  We knew most of the wedding party from a wedding we shot last year. It was like hanging out with some old friends :) Theresa & Serimon are tons of fun. Serimon is selfless, caring and so loyal and Theresa is thoughtful and charming. That is why these two are quite the pair.

On a random side note- one of the funniest moments about this day was when one of Theresa & Serimon's wedding guests came up to me and told me that "the other photographer," Chris, had to leave because he got pooped on. I couldn't help myself from nearly falling on the floor with laughter, my response, "What?! Who pooped on him?" Turns out the geese had it out for him that day, and I just happened to get their photo as they were flying overhead so I had to include it in this post. And let me tell ya, they got him GOOD. Right smack dab on the head. People kept telling him it's good luck, I just think it's pretty crappy ;)

Better Chris got pooped than the bride....or maybe that would have been a perfect "trash the dress" photo op

Shannon Cunningham says: Thursday, September 9, 2010, 02:36 PM

how amazing was the light!? wow! I am assuming Seattle has been just as gloomy as it has been here in the Bay? Forcing me to love shooting in the fog. Great photos, beautiful couple.

Wonderful set- love the mood!

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

Enjoy some tastiness from Darby & Reece's Weddin'!

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!
