White Veil Happenings

"Expect The Unexpected: Photographic Magic!"
Mearle focuses more than a decade of award winning photographic experience on you and your wedding day. From a folding medium format camera that his father used for wedding photography, to 4X5 large format photography, on to a superb Mamiya medium format camera and through numerous digital camera evolutions, he knows cameras and photographic techniques intimately.
But technical knowledge alone is not enough. Photography is in fact an art form. In the brief flicker of a camera shutter, you have to capture a single instant that summarizes long sequences of events, and do it in a way that pulls at the heart strings. A picture is not always equal to a thousand words; when you have only said one word, "WOW!", we know we have done our job well.

Echo and Jared’s Wedding














SheAnna and Brent’s Wedding

A fine wedding for SheAnna and Brent at Jesus Name Pentecostal church in Chehalis. It’s just awesome to me when the bride places a high priority on allowing me to play with the bridal party and take the time to find some cool locations for our photography. I don’t ordinarily blog quite so many from a wedding, but these all were just too cool.
Prints of the photos below, plus many more select images may be ordered at our on-line gallery.
















June 6, 2010 - 8:20 am Dan Hingley - How do I view all your pictures...

June 6, 2010 - 11:09 am Mearle - The remainder are not yet ready for viewing. More will be posted here and then a link for a full gallery of images will come later.

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.
