Holly + David. Engaged.

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.

Kirsten + Brian. (Just one more.)

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.

MJ + Kevin knew within a few hours of meeting one another that they would be married someday. A whirlwind love story at its very best.

Very sweet 2010 couple. Every time we meet them, we have to pry Justin away from them when its time to go. They are going to be amazing parents.

davina + daniel | crescent city, california

I simply adore these two. Davina + Daniel are fellow wedding photographers who hail from Montreal. They’re in the final stretch of their two-month road trip across America, and are finally on their way home.

We met about halfway between San Fransisco and Seattle in a little coastal town inaccurately named Crescent City. We didn’t have long together, but we swapped mini-portrait sessions of each others’ families.

Their next road trip better include the Pacific Northwest :)

dana + yossi | red rocks, nevada engagement session

romin — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 01:25:39 +0000

My last day in Las Vegas, I was able to squeeze in a last minute engagement session thanks to my good friend, the amazing Shira Weinberger. Dana and Yossi had never been in front of a professional photographer before, but they quickly got comfortable when I reminded them to focus on each other. Their chemistry and sensuality was very evident, so there was very little I had to do.

I’ve been messing with panoramas since I lived in Hawaii in 2006, and I’ve been trying to insinuate them bit by bit into my wedding and portrait work. So far so good.

I almost had a passerby drive off with my 85L and wallet while we tried to get one final shot. But that’s a story I’ll save for over drinks.

seattle wedding photographer | shannon + tyler | seattle engagement session

romin — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 05:36:34 +0000

Shannon and Tyler were among our very first friends when we moved to Seattle from the East Coast early last year. This wonderfully quirky duo will someday head up the UW Hospital, and we are very fortunate to have them as friends. They introduced us to the fantastic Joule Restaurant in Wallingford, which is run by Shannon’s cousin Rachel and her husband Seif. And they are so clutch when it comes to last-minute baby-sitters and pot-luck dinners :)

seattle wedding photographer | mas + francesca | seattle engagement session

Mas, Francesca and I had a great time at Alki Beach during one of the colder days during that cold spell a few weeks ago. They braved the wind and we were rewarded with an amazing sunset and some great moments.

seattle wedding photographer | jp + dorielle | seattle engagement session

romin — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 13:21:16 +0000

I simply adore these guys. My wife and I are lucky to have them as two of our closest friends here in Seattle. JP is a gifted massage therapist/fire-starter/mojito-maker/budding Ayurvedic practitioner (for starters!) and Dorielle is a prodigy of an artist finishing school at Cornish. They complement each other as well as any couple I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. They are planning to have their wedding in her home state of New Mexico during the annual Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta in October next year, and I cannot wait. Love you guys.
