"Capturing The Moment" A Beautiful Day Photography

Lisa Chick wrote a couple of days ago to  remind me that she and Tom Marriott were married 4 years ago this week and she was looking forward to seeing the pictures and enjoying the slideshow again on their anniversary. She is planning to have her wedding album ready for their 5th anniversary. Since I was not blogging 4 years ago,  I thought I would put up some highlights from their great wedding at St Joseph’s Church on Capital Hill and Lowell-Hunt on Lake Union. Here are a few of the images and at the bottom is a mini-gallery. If you want to see the complete slideshow of their wedding with music click on this link: Seattle wedding photography slideshow

Below is a mini-gallery with some more of my favorite highlights from their wedding.

Troy Wadsworth and Heidi Schumacher were married on May 23rd on board the historic Skansonia Ferry on the north shore of Lake Union in Seattle. It was a perfect day weather wise considering how cool it turned later on in the month and throughout June. Here are some of the highlights from the wedding pictures along with a mini web gallery below.

The moon was shining bright upon the newly married couple on the stern of the Skansonia during a break from the dancing.

Heidi and Troy were one of the happiest looking couples I photographed in quite a while and I often caught them sharing a laugh together.

All for one and one for all.

At the end of the evening they headed off. For a more complete set of the highlights click on the web gallery below.

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.

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.

It was a beautiful evening despite the prediction of a rainy day and we watched a wonderful sunset as the dinner was served. More photos to come from this beautiful wedding day when they are all done in a few days.

Mike and Catherine are getting married on July 10th at the University of Washington campus and we decided to make some engagement pictures. Last night, right after the Mariners ended a eight-game losing streak in big way, we met at the waterfront park on the pier where AT&T used to sponsor summer night concerts. What ever happened to those concerts?
The light was lovely and Catherine and Mike were in good spirits. Here are a few of the images we made that I liked.

It was a perfect evening as the sun went down behind some clouds just above the horrizon before it settled behind the Olympics.

Sue and Pepper had an April wedding at the fabulous Kiana Lodge, a perfect setting of six-acres, surrounded by fragrant cedars, majestic firs, more than 30 varieties of rhododendrons, and manicured grounds featuring a spectacular view of Puget Sound from 1,000 feet of private no-bank waterfront. Sue and Pepper are a fun loving couple. Pepper surprised Sue near the end of the reception with a fireworks display on the beach of the lodge. Below are the highlights from their wedding celebration and you will see how happy they were with their day. I returned to Seattle with them on the ferry and got a picture of them dancing on the bow as the ferry arrived into the Seattle dock.

Bonnie and Michael were really in love and with their family and friends present were married in a Jewish ceremony at the The Edgewater Hotel on the waterfront near downtown Seattle. Their day was filled with a lot of love and laughs. The ceremony was touching and their celebration was filled with joy and lots of dancing. The view at the beautiful Edgewater Hotel in Seattle is amazing since the hotel is literally on the edge of the Puget Sound, it sits out on a long pier jutting into Elliot Bay. Below are a few of my favorite images highlighting their wedding day. Although I shot a lot of color, they and I really liked the way the pictures look in black and white. There is a certain timeless look. I am looking forward to shooting more black and white film weddings this year. I just booked one where the couple really like black and white, so I am planning to shoot about half of the images with my pair of Leicas.

Ryan Ferrer and Christine Liebsack were married on the eve of Valentine’s Day at the First Free Methodist Church on Queen Anne. Above Christine is getting ready at the church. After the ceremony everyone headed over to the reception which was at SODO Park, a great place for a party with wonderful food provided by Herban Feast. I stayed behind for a little while at the church with Christine and Ryan, as they did a little cleanup of the rose petals on the aisle, and  for their limo to arrive. We stopped by on the way to SODO Park, at Kerry Park, on top of Queen Anne,  for some photographs with the Seattle skyline in the background.
Although all of the photos were originally shot in color, and will be presented in color in their slide show on the website shortly, I decided to convert the highlight pictures for the blog to black and white to show how great they work without any color. The black and white images look so classic and timeless. I usually convert a number for the final selection for my wedding albums an books because of this timeless factor. Here are the pictures I choose to highlight the wedding in black and white. They are mainly the candid photographs presented here. All of the rest will be in a web gallery in color along with the slide show on the main web site.

Ryan and Christine were delighted to see the Valentine theme decorated wedding bed at their suite at the W Hotel as Ryan carried Christine over the threshold in the age old tradition. The giant heart made of chocolates surrounded by red rose petals took them by complete surprise as they entered their wedding chamber. It was after all the eve of Valentines Day so it might have been suspected that one of their friends or sisters might have sprung the surprise on them. I just had to post this one in color. Some pictures do look better for it.

There is a web gallery below here with the rest of the highlights.
