Seattle Green Festival!

Check out the Green Festival in Seattle this weekend March 28th and 29th at the Washington State Convention center!

There’ll be great speakers and great booths with everything from fair trade coffee to hemp t-shirts. Definitely a great opportunity to learn about sustainable resources and how you can integrate them into your lives to help take care of our environment.

Raeleen and I will be there as Media Volunteers taking photographs of the event. Make sure you track us down and say hi! We’re looking forward to seeing you there.

Alicia + Mark’s Wedding :: Trash the Dress {4.22.09}

The day after Raeleen and I photographed Alicia and Mark’s wedding in Del Mar, we made our way back out to the beach for another shoot. This time we went to Torrey Pines beach and had a great trash the dress session. We had an awesome time and a gorgeous sunset! A couple of beautiful newly weds, a couple wedding photographers, a beach, and here’s what you get. Check out the slideshow, the pictures are so much fun :)

Alicia + Mark’s Wedding :: Del Mar, California {4.21.09}

Alicia and Mark’s wedding on the beach in Del Mar, California was stunning! Not to say we don’t love being wedding photographers in Seattle, but there’s something about the weather and the water that makes Del Mar so gorgeous. Take these great elements and combine it with an awesome and fun couple and you get an amazing wedding.

The Powerhouse was a great venue. We had the perfect lookout over the beach and ocean, and the patio made for an enchanting little cocktail area for entertaining between the ceremony and the reception. Red umbrellas, exquisitely crafted hors d’oeuvre, even beta fish in the center pieces; the details were fabulous. Alicia and Mark even had mini square cupcakes to replace a traditional wedding cake. Thank you so much, Alicia and Mark, for blessing us with the opportunity to capture your beautiful wedding day!

Alicia + Mark :: San Diego Wedding Teaser

Rae and I had a wonderful time photographing Mark and Alicia. Awesome couple, and so much fun. Here’s a little 2 image teaser from their wedding we photographed a couple weeks ago in Del Mar, near San Diego. They got married just off the sand overlooking the beach. Breathtaking.

Stay tuned for their full wedding, we’ll have them up soon :)

San Diego Zoo! Our side trip after a weekend wedding…

A couple weekends ago, Raeleen and I flew down to San Diego, cameras in tow, to shoot Alicia and Mark’s wedding. The wedding was absolutely beautiful, a much different flavor than the Seattle weddings we photograph. As soon as those pictures are ready, I’ll post up the favorites for you to see.

In the meantime, here are a ton of San Diego Zoo pictures for everyone to check out. Raeleen and I took the opportunity to see the world famous zoo and grab some snapshots of the animals. I think the flamingos were my personal favorite. Enjoy!

San Diego Zoo photographs of Macaws

Okay, so above are the Macaws. Rae and I were walking and overheard a zookeeper announcing the release of the birds. We came late and had no idea what was in the aluminum cage. We just heard a bunch of rustling and then a flood of colorful birds. This was my attempt at catching them all flying out at super high speeds.

San Diego Zoo Peacock

San Diego Zoo flamingos

Ok, definitely my favorite of the zoo. These guys were colorful and had a ton of character.

Zoo shots in San Diego of ducks

These two ducks were in the same water as the flamingos. They were also holding up one leg, very cute :)

San Diego Zoo camel

Great story, this Camel was spitting at all the kids that came up to the wall and started pestering it! Very funny to watch. A couple moms got hit too :)
San Diego Zoo's huge camel

I have no idea what was going on with this Camel. It was huge and it was foaming something from its mouth. Pretty gross.

San Diego Zoo Meerkats!

Another favorite. I love meerkats!

San Diego Zoo koalas

Apparently Koalas sleep most of the day. Their diet doesn’t give them enough energy but to be active mostly during feeding times.

Snake-necked turtles. Crazy stuff.

This guy is from the Galapagos. I think he was around 2 feet tall and maybe 4 feet or so long. Very big, very slow.
