I’m in Puerto Rico right now with Jessica and Andy. Today is their wedding day and I’m so looking forward to standing out on the beach with them; capturing this amazing moment in their lives.
Yesterday though, they flew from Rincon, PR where the wedding is happening to meet me and Rebecca in San Juan. We [...]
I’m just going to get this out of the way. I feel cool by association by just knowing Christabelle and Jeff. Christabelle is fantastically gorgeous, beyond sweet, genuine and very smart. Jeff is a little more quiet and reserved at first, but a gentleman and just an all around nice guy. One of the things that [...]
There is a lot of things I could do when it comes to processing photos and laying out albums.
That doesn’t mean I ever do it.
I want Whimsical photos and albums to be something the client cherishes for a lifetime. I want them (photos and albums) to be but a glimpse into the clients life, not [...]
I met Annie and Peter back last June when they called me to do their wedding. When I first met them, it was one of those moments where you knew it was meant to be. Our personalities just matched, we could talk about anything, and oh my… they are funny!
They are also HUGE Seattle Seahawks [...]
Last night I photographed the wedding between Annie and Peter! It was at the Landmark Convention Center in Tacoma and I tried something totally new. See, I hate doing “Table Shots” which are the photos of guests sitting around the tables during dinner. I just hate walking up to people while they are eating and [...]
A few days ago I wrote a blog post about how my photography isn’t all about photoshop. I truly believe that in order to provide a strong final product, you have to have a strong raw product to begin with. Too many photographers are scared to show their straight out of camera shots. It’s kind [...]
If you have children then you know that if it gets quiet they are getting into trouble. It’s just how it is; especially with toddlers.
Today, I was making lunch when it was eerily quiet in the house. Julie was in her swing taking a nap, but Maggie was no where to be found. A quick [...]
Last spring I was commissioned by South Sound Wedding & Event Magazine to photograph the actual engagement between Talis and Marla at the Tacoma Art Museum. The museum had gone to great lengths to arrange the actual engagement set-up and everything was prepared to present the ring to Marla as an actual museum exhibit. South [...]
I have to admit that doing bridal shows isn’t necessarily my favorite thing in the world to do. It’s uncomfortable trying to dish out exactly what I do and how I do it in 20 seconds or less without sounding like a used car salesman. The honest truth is that I love my job, I [...]
A few months ago, Seattle Bride Magazine did an article for the Fall/Winter 2009 edition of the magazine that was really eye opening. They sent a guy who was “pretty handy with a camera” off with the true professionals at John & Joseph Photography to articulate the differences in what a consumer would get with [...]
