I’ll be heading up to Seattle this weekend to photograph Mark & Dulce’s wedding at Newcastle. We met up last weekend to shoot some engagement photos downtown Seattle at Pike Place Market.

For the second year now, Gabe and I have been honored to host Zack Arias‘ OneLight Workshop. Last year we hosted the workshop in Seattle - I have to say the Portland crowd really stepped up to the plate and blew my expectations out of the water.

First off, we had 45-50+ photographers show up to the mixer (our pre-workshop party) Tuesday evening. The workshop itself went till 1am both nights…. yes I said both nights. We had an intense double header OneLight week.

Our venue this year was completely gorgeous; including a bear skin rug, Eames chairs and the works. Thank you to Chris, Jono, & Aaron at Parliament Design for graciously inviting us into their space.

… yes, that’s Shannon Sewell- I somehow talked her into stepping over to the other side of the camera and she nailed it.

In the back there with the black hat is Mike - he works for B&H (the worlds largest camera store in NY!) and goes to workshops to answer questions and hook people up with gear! He got me plugged into a drobo… beautiful…. drobo stands for Data Robot! So yes, now I have my own data robot! … what should I name him?

Zack has wolverine claws like Logan.

Below is Jessica Hill rockin’ the 60″ shoot through.

… this was a quick two light set up using a ring light on camera and a 20 degree grid on Gabe in the background. Oh yeah, Gabe rocked it as our model for part of the second day. Isaac Koval also GQ’d us in front of the camera.

This shot of Parrish was something I set up and snapped during our free time to try out our one light knowledge on our own.

If you were at the Mixer or the Workshop drop us a comment so we can get your email address!

E-sessions are so rad! We shot this sesh right downtown Bellevue, just out side of Bellevue Place where Matt & Stephanie had their first date at a nearby restaurant. Apparently he was wearing his hottest outfit which included a sweet orange sweater… their second date was shopping for some new clothes for him!!! Yikes! Gabe and I are pumped for shooting their wedding out on Orcas Island this weekend!

Once again I’ve had the privilege of photographing a childhood friend’s wedding. And just to show how cool we were back in the day, check out this photo below of our crew. Yes… Matt’s the one with the weird pink puff ball at the top. Yours truly is the one with the sweet puffy flat top in the middle (that was my favorite shirt - it had a shark on it and a lot of neon green spots).

Looks like Matt’s grown up a bit since then…

Potato Head love… kudos to the groomsmen.

Their wedding was a gorgeous farm wedding surrounded by 750 acres of fields.
