Lynden, WA. - July 2009
I loved the emotion between Amanda and Adam and their families. It was very real.

I also need to thank Ben Bender who was assisting for the day. Ben saved the evening when the sprinkler system went off unexpectedly during the reception. The dad’s were trying to plug the water and I was to busy photographing them to be of much help. Ben came out of nowhere and shut it down!

We met Dave & Shawnia through the first OneLight Workshop the Boone & I hosted in Seattle 3 or so years back. Dave was at the workshop with his best man, Bill Cawley.






It only rained for 15 minutes the entire day… it just happened to be during the ceremony.








I love high desert pine trees.

Monday and this picture makes me laugh. A bridal party shot in front of the U.S. - Canadian border (Peace Arch Park)… and yes, that’s me (best man!) throwing my son Baron in the air. And yes, that’s our friend Deacon making the peach PEACE Arch with his legs. Totally normal. More images from Jon + Rayna’s wedding coming soon.

I’m very excited to be working with Jonah and Elyse on their wedding. I’ve been kept in the loop on all things to do with their wedding through Heather Hall of Mona Lisa Events and it’s gonna be a fan-freakin-tastic celebration. I also have to mention that Jonah played keys in our High School Jazz Band back in the day (I played upright bass). It was a Random Rad Reconnection!
