WEDDING SNEAK PEEK : Brett + Erin

I had to throw out a sneak peek one week after Brett and Erin said 'I Do' at the Georgetown Ballroom, the coolest venue I have ever seen.  But before all the hoopla, this relaxed couple met before their wedding down in a Pike Place Market bar to share a drink and enjoy eachother's company on their wedding day.  I thought it was so nice to start their day together just the two of them....well...ummm...plus me.  But I don't count.  I was the fly on the wall or gum on the wall- however you see it.  After this, they caught a cab to their own wedding together.  Ahhhhhh.  More to come in a couple weeks.

Yes, that is gum.  The famous Gum Wall underneath Pike Place Market.

Company Awards Banquet

I have the privilege to photograph happy people during happy occasions.  Whether a wedding or an expecting family, I get surrounded by happiness.  But this company awards banquet was probably the happiest group of people I have ever photographed.  They had a blasted at the Rainier Golf and Country Club enjoying a yummy dinner together (yes, I even got a plate), celebrating the success of co-workers and getting down with a little dancing afterwards.  And did I mention how snazzy they all looked.  Wow!

Baby Makes Four : Myrtle Edwards and Olympic Sculpture Park

Ahhhh...we are finally getting a bit of sunshine in the northwest.  I have had a busy week and blogging about this session is one more ray of sunshine to my day.  I titled it 'Baby Makes Four' because this Capitol Hill expecting couple represents many couples in the metro-Seattle area.  When I spoke to them on the phone, they said they would like maternity photos including their doggie.  Like many with furry children, I understood that their next baby will make it a household of four.  They all had a glow anticipating the new arrival and even the doggie would sniff at the baby belly every now and then to make sure everything was okay.  This baby (expected any day now) will be well loved by two amazing, funny people and have a furry big brother to play with and get lots of wet kisses.

 The doggie checks up on how the baby is doing....and then needs some chasing.

 You know its love when you see two people in a park dancing to no music.

How beautilful is this belly - look forward to seeing the baby pics!
