My favorite venues?

I sometimes don't think this is a fair question because my favorite or not favorite can be completely based on the weather conditions that favor photography and nothing to do with the locations. So keeping that in mind, here are my top 10 favorite venues.

#1 - Under any white tent. Can you say "huge diffuser"? Now I know most of you might not know what that is, but photographers will go to a great deal of trouble to get nice diffused light, and if you provide it by using a large white tent, then yeah, we get a huge diffuser and we will use it happily!!

Ok into the actual venues; with no particular order. :-)

Lakeside Event Center, Waterways Cruises in Seattle

Rays Boathouse in Seattle

Countryside Meadows in Arlington

Courtyard Hall in Bothell

Belle Chapel in Snohomish

Olson Mansion in Maple Valley

Shuksan Golf Club in Bellingham

Tibbetts Creek Manor in Issaquah

Forest Park in Everett

Edmonds Yacht Club in (obviously :-) Edmonds

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!!!
