Here they are, a few of my favorite selects from the wedding of Sarah and Matt Eichelberger. Enough said!

On May 8th, I had the wonderful opportunity of witnessing and photographing the marriage Sarah and Matt Eichelberger in Bellevue, Washington.  Before this big day arrived, Sarah, Matt and I spent some time together in downtown Kirkland taking some engagement photos.  Below are a few images from that day, with photos from the wedding soon to come.

Living in the Pacific Northwest means that whenever the sun decides to peek out for a day or two, we are all drawn like ants to honey into the warm rays.  My wife and I are no exception.  On our way back from running a few errands, Asha insisted in stopping for some ice cream and a walk through the park.  I obliged and happily shot a few photos during our excursion.  Below are my selects.

In addition to my homo sapiens relatives, I have a few furry family members.  Below are a few images of my in-laws and cousin, so to speak.  My in-laws are the large white teddy bear is Labradoodle named Lizzy, the little gray fellow is a Silky Poo named Jessie and the long haired white cat in her back is Daisy.  The long haired white cat by default is my cousin, Foster B Chubbins Esquire.

Yes, it is well over a month into the new year, but since this if my first post in 2010 it seems an appropriate title.  The new year has brought new opportunities my way in the form of a shared studio space with a few friends.  It isn’t huge, but it more than serves its purpose.  Below are four images of my good friend Nathaniel Willson that I shot a few weeks back in the new space.  The “shoot” was therapeutic in helping me get a feel for using strobes again (although you will see that one of the below images is a natural daylight shot).

So much of what I shot last year was for others, i.e. shooting/2nd shooting at 25 or 27 weddings.  My goal this year is to shoot more for myself and my business, and this space is one step towards that.
