These two have become very close to my family, much like an aunt and uncle to our son, Justin. Their wedding day was an epic one filled with such love, laughter and tears. They took part in two very intimate tea ceremonies in the presence of their closest family members — I felt very humbled to be present. Then we partied into the night at the Bellevue Hyatt.
Holly is a photographer here in Seattle whom I had the pleasure of first meeting at the We Heart Sharlane benefit for Sharlane Chase, a local photographer who had been diagnosed with cancer. I put up a portrait session for the silent auction at the benefit, and Holly was sweet enough to bid and win the session. I just recently learned that Holly is herself a cancer survivor. It was humbling to be able to tell a small part of their story through these images.

This image didn’t quite fit in the visual narrative of the previous post with Kirsten and Brian, but I did want to share it.
(My main criteria for a dream home: a lakeside weeping willow tree in the back yard.)

Kirsten and Brian are as sweet as they come. They have a little pup, Kooshy, who is the cutest. I led them through Carkeek Park as they explored and played with one another.

Had the pleasure of second shooting again for my good friend, Kevin Wrenn.
Bren is a gifted double bassist with refined musical taste, as evidenced by the jazz band featuring Seattle jazz legend Clarence Acox on drums. Their rendition of Etta James’ ‘At Last’ gave me chills in the middle of the reception. Shortly after this wedding, Clarence led the Garfield High Jazz Ensemble to first place at New York’s Essentially Ellington National Jazz Band Competition and Festival at NYC’s Lincoln Center.
