TERRA & AMYN

Terra and Amyn’s wedding … what a day. Days, actually. The first night was an Indian mehndi celebration, and the second day was the big wedding bash. Great food, thanks to the wedding venue – Palace Ballroom – and amazing people, thanks to Terra and Amyn’s family and friends. I love getting to see two families, cultures, and lives come together this way to love and support the bride and groom (and their marriage.) Two of my favorite moments: Amyn and Terra decided not to see each other before the ceremony, but they shared a few words, smiles, and hand-holding between walls, just before the ceremony. The other was Terra’s 89-year  old grandmother dancing with her new husband. So awesome.

You can see more photos, and read Terra’s words about the wedding, on Style Me Pretty.

Big thanks to Carly Bish for shooting with me, and Megan from Clutch Events for helping the day run so smoothly.

ITALY & AUSTRIA, the hypothermia edition

Shortly after the new year, Emily and I took a trip to Italy  and Austria to do some skiing and sight-seeing. The only problem was that there was no snow to be found in Italy … frigid weather, however, was in abundance (yes, Seattle has made us sissies, but it averaged -10C. Come on!)

 

We shivered our way through Venice, Verona, Cortina d’Ampezzo, and Innsbruck; and saw, through frosted-over eyes, some absolutely beautiful cities, people, and scenery. It was basically impossible to take a bad photo in Venice… it’s on a billion postcards for a reason.  I’ll be forever grateful to the Italians for their patience with me butchering their language while trying to get espresso every morning. Travel mishaps adventures and snow-free mountains aside, taking this trip with my wife made my year.

K & R

Just a handful of photos I really liked from the other night. Go figure that when the weatherman says it’s going to rain or snow, he really means, “Don’t cancel your shoot, because you’ll have awesome light, and it won’t rain or snow.” Oh, Seattle.
