Kristen and Mike - Seattle, Washington

Wow, what a weekend! Kristen and Mike were married at the Lake Washington Rowing Club located in the beautiful Freemont District of Seattle. They couldn't have picked a better day in Seattle, as the sun was shining the entire day....in October! This was my first wedding in Freemont and we had a blast wandering around the docks and under the Aurora Bridge looking for great photo opps. We also headed downtown for a few more fun angles before we headed to the reception at the China Harbor Restaurant.

It was important to me to get these photos up on my blog as soon as possible this week. Since Kristen's dad was unable to make the trip out from Minnesota for the wedding due to health issues, I can only hope I was able to visually tell the story of their wedding day enough to make him feel as if he was right there with them.

On another note, as I left the reception, I thought my day of shooting was over. That was until I got a frantic phone call from my good friend and former college roommate, Trevor. I'll post those photos later, as I love to keep people in suspense....



Okay, so I went a little crazy with the shoes, can you blame me?







I saw the candy dish and couldn't resist, so I did a fun shot with Kristen's very special ring.





A bit of my artsy side, I just love the red lips entering the side of the frame.

Think it's time to go home? Just ask this little guy!
