It was a beautiful wedding!!

Nathan and Melody tied the knot on November 29th, 2009 in Longview, Washington at The Living Word church. Their reception was held at the expo center here in town.  Melody and I went to school together way back in the day at Kelso High School. Go class of 2000!! She and I were in choir together (along with my hubs, Derrick).

She made the most gorgeous bride. I’m so happy for the two of them to start their life together. Can’t wait till you have some kiddos. Of course that’s just me being selfish so I can have more playmates for my own kids 😉

It was a perfect wedding with two people who are very obviously in love. Congrats to the happy couple!!

I’ll be posting more photos in about a week or so. Please stay tuned.

Make sure you make a comment to the couple wishing them a happy life together….

Here’s more pics of the October 25th wedding here in Kelso Washington at the Red Lion Inn. It was a gorgeous wedding and the couple is so very much in love. I was happy to be a part of their very special day.

Congrats on your wedding!!

I hope you enjoy sneak peak #2.

To all their friends and family;

you can send them congrats wishes by writing in the comment box below!

I have to admit, this post has a few more photos than I normally show. I couldn’t help it… You take a great looking couple, perfect weather, gorgeous location, and you’re bound to get some good photos! I had a blast photographing them and I took WAY too many photos…

We met up at one of my favorite locations – Lake Sacajawea here in Longview. It’s fitting since they’re the outdoorsy type of couple. They wanted their engagement session to reflect their style. They’re totally down to earth and quite in love. It was so sweet. I can’t wait to photograph their wedding in May. I know it’s going to be just perfect.

Thanks for letting me photograph you and I hope you enjoy your sneak peak…

The latest craze in wedding photography is to do a “trash the dress” bridal session. These are done after the wedding (sometimes even years later). It gives brides a chance to have fun in their dress and get photos they weren’t able to get on their wedding day. Now, we don’t actually “trash the dress” during these sessions, but since the wedding is over we don’t worry as much about getting it dirty or playing around.

Here’s a preview of my latest work with the Lovely Miss L.

These were taken here in Longview at Lake Sacajawea in the Asian Gardens (one of my favorite locations).

It was a blast and if you or anyone you know is interested in doing one of these, please call me!!!

I’m offering discounted session fees for those who want their own “trash the dress” session.

I hope you enjoy the pictures. Leave me a comment and let me know what you think….
