I was honored when Siff asked me to shoot this event for a spotlight on Edward Norton’s career and the screening of his new film leaves of Grass. There was a Q & A after the film which lasted about an hour and a half and was very insightful and enlightening. Lisa Dupar catering was on hand with her signature food stylings and it was amazing. Tom Skerritt showed as well as a lively Siff crowd for this exciting evening.

ST. MONICA’S CATHOLIC CHURCH – MERCER ISLAND | THE BELLEVUE CLUB - BELLEVUE, WA

On August 1st, Brooke and Riley had a fairy tale wedding with the theme “Happily Ever After”. It was a beautiful, sunny and hot day, but Brooke and Riley were troopers and we got a ton of great shots on their wedding day! The ceremony was held at St. Monica’s Catholic Church, on Mercer Island, the church Brooke and Riley have attended since they were little kids. The reception was at the Bellevue Club. Brooke did a great job at pulling the fairy tale theme together, starting with a beautiful wedding dress. The programs had a picture of a castle with the title “Happily Ever After” and the flower girls had their fairy wings. The favors at the reception were wild flowers, the escort cards had fairy tale characters on them indicating the fairy tale story that each table was assigned. The candy at the candy buffet had names like “Frog Prince Gummies”, “Snow White’s Apples”, “Fairy Dust Pop Rocks” and “Sleeping Beauty’s Kiss”. Congratulations Brooke and Riley and thank you for having us there to photograph your wedding day!!

Blue Angels were flying that day.

Pravda Studios | henry + lorna

Henry and Lorna are an incredible, fun and stylish couple and they LOVE good food! Lorna, a food columnist for Seattle Magazine and a self-taught pastry chef, together with Henry, an architect, started Cache, a private dinner club. The engagement, involving food of course, occurred at Mistral. Grape sorbet topped with gold leaf was the last course to a 12 course dinner. Lorna’s engagement ring, a yellow diamond, was placed in the sorbet, camouflaged by the gold leaf. For their wedding reception, they selected 4 of the 12 courses from their dinner at Mistral. Grape sorbet was the dessert in which one of the sorbets had a toy ring placed into it. The guest who ended up with that plate of grape sorbet won a prize. The whole day at Pravda was incredible…after the emotional tea ceremony/wedding ceremony, 6 delectable cocktail items were passed, prepared by Shannon Galusha of Veil and Eric Banh of Monsoon brought in the roast suckling pig. The sit down dinner was prepared by William Belickis, formerly of Mistral. There was also a fun scrapbooking table, dragon dancers, a beautiful dessert buffet and a VERY delicious cake by Bakery Nouveau‘s William Leaman. The wedding cake had different flavors on each tier and Lorna’s favorite tier was a 7 layer creation with caramel mousse, hazelnut mousse, Valrhona dark chocolate mousse, dark chocolate cake, sandwiched between three thin layers of chocolate sponge cake. Incredible! William created it especially for their wedding, and the flavors were inspired by his award-winning pastry called “The Phoenix”. The signature drinks for the night, created by Eric Witsoe of Tavolata, were the Lorna and the Henry. If that wasn’t enough, at the end of the night, Lorna surprised their guests with a Poco Carretto Gelato cart! Don’t miss their slide show below.

Only an architect would come up with this seating chart.

Lorna’s favorite hors devours were the octopus with chorizo powder, and the crab and avocado.

adam + tracy – Fox Farm Lavender, Vashon Island

Fox Farm Lavender is a picturesque venue located on quaint Vashon Island. We photographed Adam and Tracy’s wedding there on Saturday, 08.09.08. It was a typical Seattle rainy day, but Tracy, Adam, their family and friends were great through the on and off rain showers that day. The rain did bring out the fragrant aroma of the lavender and the whole venue smelled amazing. The Jason Parker Quartet was there, swinging and sexy, with their heartfelt jazz standards. We ended the day with not one, but two rainbows in the sky!
