Having Fun

I am human, I have a tendendancy to forget that I fell in love with photography as a young teen. I forget that not all shots are for making other people's memories last forever. One of my goals this summer is to shoot more photography for me, things that make make smile. So here is a sample of the types of shots that make me fall in love with photography all over again.

The Stolen Wedding

A few Saturday's ago we were at the Seattle Center to shoot a few engagement sessions, due to the weather we only got one to show, but it was good anyway. So after the rain, I went into the butterfly house to warm up. I was shooting the butterflies...one of my favorite relaxing things to do. Dodging kids and flying things, I saw a couple getting married. I glanced around and didn't see anyone taking photos, but there was a guy shooting a home cam. Then....I thought, what the heck...and rapped off a few. Just in time for their vows and kiss and then wandered away.
I kept thinking about it...how I stole shots of them while they were getting married. I felt so bad. I don't need wedding shots, I have a few. :-) So, I went back and gave my email address to the video guy and told him I would send a disk of pics, no charge, and feeling much better went back my happiness in winged form. After a few moments the bride approached and asked if I wouldn't mind shooting a few of her and her groom. Of course...I said sure. After shooting a few and getting a great lead for a destination wedding. hmmmmm,....karma is nice.
Anyway, here are a few shots, the stolen ones first and then the ones with permission.

Courtyard Hall in Bothell - Beautiful Wedding

This wedding was unique in several ways. First I have never heard of a groom who wrote, produced and recorded a song for his bride and played it for her during the ceremony. That was fabulous. Second, I have never heard such a great band. Check out the new preferred vendors on my site, you will see a new band called "Big Luv". They are excellent guys!!!

We had fabulous weather for an excellent engagement shoot at Alki Beach. This wonderful couple lives only 30 feet (?) from Alki Beach. What a way to live.
