Emerald and Danial
What a wonderful and entertaining wedding! I have never seen the groom and groomsmen put on quite the show for a bride before. Emerald was obviously dearly loved by all in attendance. Everyone had a great time. What a party! Pictures from the whole wedding are now available for viewing and print ordering on Emerald’s photo gallery at Zenfolio.
Elizabeth & Kabe
Elizabeth and Kabe were united in marriage at the Gibson House in Centralia today. Melodie and I had the honor of doing their comprehensive photographic coverage from getting ready to the reception. As always weddings like this have a serious burden of responsibility to reliably capture everything that happens and everyone that it happens with, yet there still remains time for some creativity.
Pictures taken by Mearle and Melodie during the wedding may be ordered from Elizabeth and Kabe’s on-line photo gallery.
Zoe’s First Birthday
A party tonight in honor of baby Zoe’s very first ever birthday!!! Cupcakes, assorted other moms and dads and babies, many presents, but above all ZoEEEEE!!!
Oh, and by the way, Splendid Cupcakes of Seattle supplied the delicious cupcakes for her birthday party.
John and Kathi’s Wedding
Last night we had a short wedding ceremony at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Lacey, WA. Very nice. The late hour lent a certain character to the outdoor shots. The indoor shots took on that golden orange color from the incandescent lights that added a warm and comforting feeling to the ceremony and sanctuary. All was in harmony with God’s will.

Man’s Best Friend
Let me introduce you to my loyal sidekick Schooner. Schooner is named like other springer spaniels I have had - after my good home brewed beer. Before Schooner there was Barley. I have Porter also, but he’s another story. All are field-bred. That means instead of being bred to look pretty for dog shows, they are selected for their lust for upland bird hunting, well balanced with a desire to please their master.
When they can’t hunt, the instincts shift to an obsession with carrying around a shoe or teddy bear - and hoping I’ll throw it to retrieve. Schooner does this constantly! In the middle of the night I’ll sometimes hear him whine a little for me to wake up and throw the teddy bear for him.
The retrieve is what he lives for. No treats or atta’boys are nearly so good a reward in training as just a chance to make another fetch. He’s just a born work-a-holic!
Schooners’s normal behavior: Highly attentive and waiting for something to fetch.
Mey in the Garden
Tuesday we did a follow-up shoot with our newlywed Mey in her belly dancing costume. Poor Mey did wind up rather chilled but the photos were great! Thanks Mey for your great patience and cooperation. You probably didn’t expect to be climbing into trees. LOL.
Oh, well this is a pretty nice one too.
Striking a Pose.
Or maybe a bit of a modern touch to contrast with our oriental beauty.
Carolyn and Matthew’s Wedding
Our wedding yesterday with Carolyn and Matthew was at the New Heart Worship Center, a spacious facility than comfortably seated more than 300 guests for the ceremony and reception. What impressed me was that Carolyn and Matthew did not take for granted even one of them. They made it a mission to greet every table and allow guests to be photographed together with them.
Update 10/29/08 - Work in progress on this one.
Update 11/5/08 - On-Line Slide Show Here.

Fall Colors
If you haven’t noticed, our NW falls colors are beginning to appear. From now through mid October is an excellent time to be scheduling your engagement shoot. I know just where to find these fantastic colors. And the firey colors go so very well with hot blooded couples in love!
