Richland, Washington. I don’t know how it is that I only photograph warm, generous people. You would think that mean, bitter people would want good photos, too.
Spokane, Washington. Danielle and Nathan live in Spokane, not where I live. So nine months ago when they wanted to talk wedding photography, I suggested that we video chat. This was way back before FaceTime™ had swept the nation; strangers then weren’t used to making eye contact via that great commingler, the Internet. But we arranged it anyway. I set up a laptop on my kitchen table and hung a photo behind me because bare walls can seem creepy. And the whole thing went flawlessly. I hope this doesn’t sound trite, but I love making new friends every weekend.

Great images… You captured many hilarious face expressions. Awesome.
Charley and McLane in Spokane, Washington. I think this pic is pretty neato. More coming later.
Boise, Idaho. In about the tenth email she sent me before we even signed a contract, Alyssa started referring to herself as “the persistent bride from Idaho.” I replied with a bunch of “:)”s, and thought to myself, “holy crap, she is persistent.” Turns out the same could be said for the entire wedding party. I watched in awe as every last one of them, completely and irrefutably sober, filled the dance floor, getting jiggy with Jay-Z song after Jay-Z song. I’ve never seen anything like it.
Thank god for your persistence, Alyssa and Randall. Your portraits are some of my personal faves. I’m so glad I got to shoot with you and your crew.

RAINBOW FINISH? This is too good to be true.

I don’t know how I feel about this side scroll business yet. Change is kind of hard for me.

From breathtaking to hilarious, I know they will treasure the depth and breadth of emotion captured that day! Congrats, Alyssa & Randall!

Bryan…
Thank you so much for these pictures. I am amazed when I look at them. I am so glad I was the “persistent bride” because these pictures capture every moment of our wonderful day for us to cherish a lifetime. You caught every detail of our personalities and put them in the essence of our photos! I have looked at them at least once a day and relive those moments through these pictures! You are an amazing, creative, and fun to work with photographer and we were privileged to have been photographed by you! Thank you so much! May God bless all that you do (call us if you’re ever in Boston!)

This is really beautiful Bryan. Like you were a bird that flew overhead, and blinked with your shutter eyes…
At the memorable Cameo Heights Mansion, you know, between Tri Cities and Walla Walla. Hillary’s and Brett’s vision for the day: about a dozen guests, no fuss, an intimate ceremony and dinner party, and a hell of a lot of wine. Let me tell you how relaxed it was: Driving back from some portraits in Walla Walla, Brett says to Hillary, “You wanna get married at 4:00?” “I’m thirsty. Let’s do it at 5:00,” Hillary says. Awesome.

You guys look wonderful and so happy! Congratulations!!
You’ve got me laughing, you’ve got me crying! What an experience!
Beautiful people, beautiful pictures. Love this last one!!
The picture of the tv is a highly creative photograph. I also like the 3rd and 2nd to last photos… just can’t have a wedding without someone being tired or bored. Each wedding has that one person. The colors are awesome on that last picture.
Where could I acquire a business card?
The magic between you is palpable in the photos too! LOVE them and both of you!!
Only someone who truly loves you would blow on your armpits. Erika, it warms my heart to see you so happy.
