Sean & Michaela | Wedding | Queen Anne

Lucas — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 19:20:35 +0000

The thing that I noticed most about Sean and Michaela is how authentic they are. Through the entire day there was nothing but genuine emotion! Their goal was for a laid-back wedding where everyone could relax and have fun. Michaela started the day drinking wine and getting ready at the MarQueen in Lower Queen Anne. Things were a bit hectic and Sean was running a little late, but everyone kept their cool. The ceremony and dinner were just a few blocks away at Boat Street Cafe. If you haven’t eaten there, it is excellent! After a long, relaxed dinner we headed back up the hill to Sean and Michaela’s new house for the real party. They have just about the best view of the Space Needle that there is. I had such a blast!

Sean worked on his vows just before the ceremony, I love how he doesn’t have socks on!

New sample album | Laura & Shane | The Columbia Tower Club

I’m so excited to share some photos of my new sample album from Laura & Shane’s wedding this fall! It’s absolutely stunning and it’s HUGE. 80 pages of brilliant images are perfectly bound with cork end paper in the front and in the back. The cover and matching slip case are a very soft black leather with blind imprinting. It’s stunning, but simple enough that their images are what stand out the most. Very cool!

Wedding Photojournalist Association contest win!

I’m excited to share this image from Eric & Yingli’s wedding at the Willows Lodge last spring. I just found out that it placed first in the emotion category of the Wedding Photojournalist’s Association. I was so excited to hear the news, particularly because WPJA contests have great judges. Many of the judges are top photojournalists from around the country. It’s a notoriously difficult contest to well in!

Check out what the judges had to say about my photo!

Sara & Travis | Wedding | Golden Gardens

Lucas — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 00:20:26 +0000

Elise and I first met Sara when she was the maid of honor at Jeff & Jessica’s wedding last summer. For Sara and Travis’ wedding, everything was about making sure that the reception at Golden Gardens was a blast. Their ceremony was beautiful and simple. On the way to the reception we had time to stop in Ballard to explore for photos. To me, the highlight was the amazing sunset. One of my favorites from it is below. The dance floor was packed all night; so much fun!

Erin & Danny | Engagement | Tacoma

Exploring downtown Tacoma with Erin & Danny was so much fun! Tacoma is full of color and visual texture. We climbed under old bridges and through dark allies light be narrow beams of sunlight. Erin & Danny’s sweet and laid back personalities made the evening fly by.

Matt & Kate | Wedding | The Inn at Port Ludlow

Lucas — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 02:36:44 +0000

Matt and Kate got married on a gorgeous day and had their reception at the Port Ludlow Resort. Before the ceremony, Elise and I were able to spend time taking portraits of them at the golf course. We all had a blast driving around the course among the casual players, taking great images and capturing moments of them alone together. The reception was a lot of fun too–everyone stayed after the venue closed and had an after party in the hotel commons room. Everyone was in the mood to have a great time with Matt and Kate. All in all, it was a great day!

Laura & Shane | Wedding | The Columbia Tower Club

Lucas — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 19:15:45 +0000

I had so much fun with Laura and Shane’s wedding. The thing that struck me most about Laura and Shane is how relaxed and fun they are to be around. There was never any drama or tension, it was such a perfect day! Things started at the Arctic Club where I shot Laura getting ready. Next I headed down to their home where Shane and the guys were supposed to be getting dressed, but the Nintendo Wii got the better of the them! After the ceremony we headed over to Gasworks Park for photos with Laura, Shane and their bridal party. It was a pretty windy day, but the dramatic clouds made for great images. The reception at the Columbia Tower Club was awesome! The sun came of flooding the room with beautiful golden light. The great music from Brian Dale kept everyone dancing hard late into the night. It was so much fun!

Mini cupcakes for favors for all of the guests!

What a view. Reflections can make a a standard photo amazing!

Shane and Laura practicing their first dance before their grand entry.

The cake and decor where nothing short of amazing.

Brian Dale of Wavelink Music did an fabulous job. He read the crowd perfectly keeping the music just right for a packed dance floor.

Joanne & Travis | Engagement | Fremont & Gasworks Park

Lucas — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 01:38:57 +0000

To say Joanne and Travis like to have fun is a bit of an understatement. We spent a few hours exploring Fremont and than headed over to Gasworks Park for sunset. Along the way we stopped by George and Dragon , the bar where they first met. I’m looking forward to photographing their wedding this winter at The Hall at Fauntleroy. I know it’s going to be a lot of fun!

Shanda & Justin | Wedding | Orcas Island

Lucas — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 19:53:43 +0000

Shanda and her chocolate lab, Huck, met Justin in 2005 in Belltown. Four years later they decided it was time to tie the knot. Shanda is an accomplished member of the wedding industry in Seattle and owns an invitation and branding company, Pixel Soup. So needless to say, she already had a head start in planning their celebration! They opted for a private ceremony after spending a few days alone together on Orcas Island. I flew up on a Friday morning to spend the day with them, their officiant and a guitarist. I could not think of a more perfect location for their ceremony. Towering trees framed them as the stood on a point surrounded by water and mountains. After the ceremony, we spent a couple of hours exploring the island and making images then we boarded a plane back to Lake Union. The pilot was amazing and took use around the Space Needle, over the stadiums and past the water front before landing to be greeted by their guests on the dock of Lake Union Crew. The reception was nothing but fun, complete with ping pong, cupcakes, Thai food, and plenty of wine and beer. What an amazing day!
