I had photographed Mollie and Justin’s engagement in the Seattle Arboretum last year and we had a good time walking around making pictures there and it was fun working with them. Months later then I again had a great time photographing their wedding at Willows Lodge in Woodinville, WA The garden at the Willows Lodge, which is just across from the famous Herb Farm restaurant, is a great location for an outdoor wedding and the ballroom perfect for a reception. Mollie and Justin had a warm, and wonderful wedding there. The wedding ceremony was in the gazebo which was really stunning and was adorned by a beautiful floral arrangement. I like shooting weddings there because there are so many places to go off and do pictures with different backgrounds. The panorama large group portrait was easy to do there as well. I will post it sometime later. Here are some selected highlights and a web gallery with some more just below.

Mollie and Justin asked me to shoot them with this sign for the thank you card they were planning to send out to their guests.

Bella Baby Belly Pictures to Baby Pictures of Baby Harper
January 4th, 2010
Belly Bump Picture made on Sunday…….
…on Tuesday she arrived as a newborn baby. Above baby picture shows bella baby Harper at six days of age. She is so amazing to see. My youngest daughter Claire is now 7 1/2 years old so it has been a while since I have been with such a cute baby. Actually there have been a number of other cute babies since then but each one seems so special.
If you have been following this blog, a few weeks ago Molly and April came into the studio on a Sunday in the beginning of December for a baby belly picture session. Two days later their very bella baby daughter, Harper McAllister Sather was born. After 5 more days later I dropped their house by to make some newborn baby pictures of her to complete the second half of the before and after photos. . Talk about good timing. Here are our first but not our last newborn baby photographs of her. Below are some more baby pictures from the same session. ( Although baby pictures are not very common on this blog, they will occasionally make an appearance. After all, first comes love, then comes marriage, then comes the couple with a baby carriage…..)
Molly with Harper in her arms. I have been returning to photographing with an old Hasselblad and black and white film and I have to say I really enjoy the results. Not that I will give up on digital, but film is back in my arsenal of photographic tools.
I love the baby yawn pictures.

Wedding Photography | Tyee Yacht Club Wedding of Sarah and Judah
December 16th, 2009
This first wedding picture is of the moment just before Judah gets his first look at his bride to be Sarah.
The wedding pictures from Sarah Hess and Judah Stevenson wedding at the Tyee Yacht Club took some tough editing. There were a lot of good ones to choose from but these are the ones I have come down to for posting here. There are ten wedding pictures below and a web gallery at the bottom with a score or more. This was such a wonderful wedding to be a witness and to document. Sarah and Judah are such a creative, thoughtful and beautiful couple. The getaway at the end of their wedding was a special event in itself, a cruise to the Woodmark Hotel in Kirkland via the “Seneca”, a 38 foot, 1958 Chris Craft,
Their wedding cake sat atop a multi tier of cupcakes in different flavors.
Sarah’s Dad walking her down the aisle.

Here are some of the other photographs from the wedding of Craig and Katie March 7th, taken before the group panoramas were made.

Seattle Wedding Photographer Shoots Families Too
November 25th, 2008
The Kreinherder Family pose for their family portrait not far from their Queen Ann Home
I am often asked to photograph families in the course of my work as an wedding photographer, and approach it much as I would a portrait at a weddng or an editorial assignment for a magazine. Look for good light and with a straightforward approach, show them at their best. Janee and her family made the assignment fun and the rare November sunshine made it easy. Late afternoon filtered sunshine is one of my favorite light sources.
