Kubota Garden Wedding Panorama Group Wedding Portrait
July 29th, 2010
Immediately after Derrick Casey and Maria Holsman were married in an outdoor ceremony at the beautiful Kubota Garden last month, everyone assembled for a large group wedding panorama portrait. Using a larger format panorama camera I got everyone at the wedding in one moment on a black and white film negative. Then I scanned it and printed it as a 12″ x 36″ long print. Most of my wedding clients find the wedding panorama to be the one picture from their wedding that they want to hang on their wall. As far as I know I am the only Seattle wedding photographer offering this service and I include it in every wedding package if the circumstances of the wedding allow us to make one.

Most often the weddings I photograph are in and around Seattle or destination cities like San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York and Washington D.C. Last month for a change I got to photograph a small town wedding here in Washington State.
Crystal Hill and John Pennington were married on June 6th with their ceremony at the Duvall Church and their reception down the street at the Duvall Grange Cafe. This was a union of families as well as a marriage of two people since both Crystal and John had been married previously and all their children were made a major part of the ceremony. Here are some of my favorites from the wedding pictures along with a mini web gallery below after these highlights.

June 29th, 2010
Megan O’Malley and Brian Lau were married on May 22nd at the beautiful vintage Mayflower Park Hotel in downtown Seattle where it is has been located for the past 82 years.
We started out doing some pictures at the Seattle Asian Art Museum and Volunteer Park on Capital Hill and the weather was fantastic. Later on when after we got to the hotel, the rain moved in and the rest of the evening we were indoors. After some more pictures we headed over to the Mayflower Park Hotel to get ready for the ceremony. I will post a few of the highlights and add some more in a web gallery at the bottom of this post.
After the end of the reception, Megan and Brian came out to the street for some fresh air before heading back into the walked back to the Mayflower Park Hote. For a more complete set of the highlights click on the web gallery below.

June 1st, 2010
The PACCAR Pavilion and the Bill and Melinda Gates Amphitheatre of the Seattle Art Museum’s Olympic Sculpture Park above, was the setting for Annie Livingston & David Bowermaster’s Wedding Celebration on April 24th. Although there were predictions of a rain storm for the day, it seems the heavy weather blew past north of Seattle and we had a beautiful sunny day with just some occasional gusts of wind.
David and Annie got ready at the Edgewater Hotel which is just down the hill from the Olympic Sculpture Park.

Annie Livingston and David Bowermaster were married last month at the Olympic Sculpture Park and right after the outdoor ceremony in front of the Richard Serra sculpture “Wake” everybody headed up to the top of the terrace for a large group wedding panorama portrait.

Wedding Photography at Mary and Michael’s Wedding at St. Joseph’s Church and The Willows Lodge
May 16th, 2010
The weather has been really nice this week and so it has been hard to stay in and edit photographs but I did manage to finish editing the wedding pictures of this wedding. Mary Bright and Michael Ferrante were married at St. Joseph’s Church in Issaquah on April 10th. It was a beautiful day for a northwest spring weekend wedding. I again had a great time photographing a wedding reception at The Willows Lodge in Woodinville, WA The garden at the Willows Lodge just across from the famous Herb Farm restaurant, is a great location and a perfect place for a wedding reception with great food. I also enjoyed the great music provided by the band Jazz Unlimited who played throughout the reception, including providing some good tunes to dance to. Here are a few photos to start and below is a web gallery with the complete set of 32 images I wanted to display to show off the highlights their wedding day.
Although most of the pictures were shot in digital format I did shoot three rolls of black and white film with my Leica and 35mm lens. I find I still love to see the crispness of the original negatives, even if I do then scan them and view them digitally. The grain of Tri-x has such a different look from a digital frame.
Mary and Michael wanted a wedding portrait with the ruins of this old tree in front of The Willows Lodge. It must have been a grand example of an old growth tree before it died.
The tables were beautifully set.

Newcastle Golf Club Wedding | Michele and Tim’s Wedding Photography
March 16th, 2010
Michele and Tim were married at the Golf Club at Newcastle the place that is the “Best Sunset Wedding Spot” in the Seattle area, according to Seattle Bride Magazine and it is hard to argue with them. Tim Sheehan, who has the same family name as I, but we are not related, married Michele on one of those perfect Seattle summer days in the first week in July and as promised the sunset was indeed stunning. After the sun set into the Pacific Ocean behind the Olympic Mountains, there was still some twilight with which to see the sprinklers watering the greens catching highlights off the afterglow on the golf course.
I wanted to post some of the highlights from their wedding here. It was hard to choose so at the bottom if you want to see more I will add a web galley with some additional selects of my favorite pictures that tell the story of their wedding day.
The Golf Club at Newcastle has some fantastic panoramic views and a majestic English Manor-style clubhouse, and of course if you are into golf, a great and challenging course with views extending out over Lake Washington and the City of Seattle to the Olympic Mountains to the west.
As for weddings it was a great venue too with the ceremony outside in a white tent that has perfect light to photograph a wedding in to the terrane as place for cocktails with a view to the dinning room with some of the best food in the region.
Did I mention that the cake was really yummy?
