Ayla & Jordan – Married!

September 30, 2009

I’ll be honest. It was a little difficult getting back into the flow of things after having so much time off, but I couldn’t have picked a better bride and groom to get started with. Plus, there we a few previous brides at this wedding from over the past year, making it easy to get the gears turning. It’s great to see how a couple is doing after the first few months.  And if it couldn’t get any better, I had Aaron Hoops help me out with a little second shooting. And they had Mexican food :) Ayla and Jordan were about as cute as can be. There were so many family and friends who came out to celebrate their wedding. Thanks for the good times and good food guys! And thanks for being such willing models around the botanic gardens!!!

Its always good to see family. Especially when they live so far away. The Keg was a REALLY GOOD steak house! Go if you ever get a chance.  The last shot was from the 101 along the Oregon coast. It was so pretty all the way through Washington and Oregon. We just don’t have beaches like that here in California. And with that, we’re home! And so good to be home too!

Day 14 – Seattle, Wa

September 13, 2009

Seattle. We made it. We checked out a few of the sites. Although I spent most of my time at a gaming convention, PAX :) Oh yes, very good times indeed!

Here’s a few shots from our wondering. Pike’s Place Market was cool to see. Very crowded though on a Friday. I couldn’t believe how many people we walking around with camera’s and taking pictures. It kinda seemed like most people were there being a tourist. We also saw the first Starbucks, which didn’t look like a Starbucks at all. It was rather bland inside with tons of product boxed lining the walls. And finally, a shot of the Space Needle. We were too cheap to pay the $40 to go up, so I just grabbed a free pictures instead :)

Court: Wow, that's an impressive shot of the space needle! Glad you worked something out from that angle.
