Michael and Ali, along with Ali’s mom Donna, did a phenomenal job planning their wedding in only a couple of months. Their wedding had to be moved up several months due to Ali taking a job in London with Sotheby’s. Michael and Ali’s 12.15.07 wedding ceremony took place at the Blessed Sacrament and the reception was at The Heathman Hotel in Kirkland. The theme for their wedding was “Fire and Ice”. The reception consisted of amazing ice centerpieces lighted from within and a cool ice beer dispenser. Having grown up on a vineyard, Ali’s father drove down to Napa Valley and brought back cases of fine wine along with Octoberfest beer that was flown to California from Germany. The signature drink was a “Furious Titti”, a great story behind that drink. The cake from Mike’s Amazing Cakes was awesome! The cake topper was of a bride singing and a groom playing the bass. Ali is an amazing singer and Michael a musician. Both Ali and Michael’s family were so wonderful to work with, such great, awesome people! Thanks to Kristin Pittman of Focus Events for keeping the day running smoothly and Dan and Christian of Emerald City Productions who kept the party grooving. Don’t miss their slide show below.
This past week I shot Michael and Ali’s engagement session in downtown Seattle with the holiday lights as the backdrop. They are such a fun couple, so much energy and spirit. Their wedding is coming up in three days and their theme is “fire & ice”. Should be great!!……………..Brian
I love shooting at Olympic Sculpture Park and so do people in love, it seems. So when I shot David and Jessie’s e-session there it needed to be different, so we shot as the light was getting low and with a little shutter and flash tweaking I dialed the “look” in. We really got some fabulous shots and then we were off to Pike Place Market for some night shots. What a great energetic couple to work with. Thanks Jessie & David! Check out their slide show below. :)……………………………………………………Brian
elegant, fun, cool…..Seattle had it’s first blast of snow this past Saturday, what a great way to start off the holiday season! Stephanie Cristalli and Jeff Beck put together a holiday dance party at their home. Their home and garage turned dance hall was elegantly designed and decorated by Athena of Athena Flora who provided the flowers and materials for the decor. We had a fun time and got in a few shots with our point and shoot.
…. and here is jen and adam (of la vie photography & junebug weddings) with his eyes glowing red like the star hanging in the window. I could have turned it black and white but it was just too funny.
Fabulous couple on a Seattle cloudy day made for some magical images. Ben and Jill were so great to work with on this typical Seattle weather day. We can’t wait for their wedding next year, it’s going to be great! Check out their engagement shoot slide show below.
