Lauren and Bob | Roche Harbor

The union of the Seattle Tindalls and the NY Croccos! It was an amazing celebration of love and family at the beautiful Roche Harbor Resort. September turned out to be the best month of the year for sunshine, and we were blessed with a perfect, warm weekend on San Juan Island.

There were so many special details: the rehearsal dinner BBQ, the surprise bagpiper at the conclusion of the ceremony, the reception tent right on the water, the band, the seafood, seaplane departure... Every toast was heartfelt. The JOY was overflowing...

Lauren and Bob, congratulations! You're amazing individually and even more so together! I wish you could keep getting married and that I could keep photographing you!

Again, a big thanks to the wonderful Sharlane Chase who photographed with me and added her beautiful images and presence!

Travis and Jesse of True Colors Events were Lauren and Bob's wedding planners and David of Rented Elegance provided the decor. We had a great team!

Kim and AJ | Philipino Wedding

It could only have been a perfect wedding day with Kim and AJ. They're beautiful, expressive, super fun, and so in love! They celebrated a traditional Filipino Catholic mass (I always love the cord ceremony) at the beautiful chapel of Holy Names Academy, and they had hundreds of amazing people supporting them. One of my favorite moments was witnessing AJ's excitement just before Kim entered the sanctuary. He was literally bouncing with joy in anticipation. And, their first meeting was so sweet - such tenderness and tears of happiness. It was also really special to see the genuine affection their priest has for them.

Kim and AJ created one of the most impressive wedding Web sites that I've seen. The best part is the video of their actual proposal.

Thank you for asking me to be part of your engagement and wedding! Congratulations you two! A big thanks to Sharlane Chase for shooting with me. Always great fun and photography.

Jill and Mike

We met in late August of 2007. A few weeks later, Jill, Mike and I left Seattle for New York City. Could there be many better places than Central Park for an engagement session? It was amazing! And, unusually hot in NYC that weekend. High 80s in October?! I think it was a sign of things to come... Jill and Mike were married in Seattle on one of the hottest days of the year. It was in the 90s, and Seattle residents only see the 90s on an average of three times a year. So, we were really HOT. But, it was a gorgeous, cloudless day. And, we had one of the best views in the city: the Olympics, the Sound and the Seattle skyline. The evening was perfect and included wonderful toasts, a Scottish bagpiper at sunset, a great band and one of my very favorite cakes - ever.

Jill and Mike incorporated some of Seattle's most beautiful architecture into their wedding celebration. Preparations at The Farimont Olympic Hotel, ceremony at the Chapel of St. Ignatius for their beautiful Coptic Orthodox service, and reception at The Golf Club at Newcastle. This combination is difficult to match.

Jill is such an elegant woman, and Mike is a true gentleman. A very refined and classy couple. And, what a fun wedding party!

Congratulations Jill and Mike - on your marriage and your new life together in Philly! I appreciate you both so much.

Here are a few of my favorites.
