Back in early August I had the pleasure of shooting Eli’s and George’s amazing wedding in Seattle.  It was a day that was full of laughter, humor, tears, lots of love and many more tears that left me feeling very fortunate to be part of it in a very small way as their photographer.

Last week I got to spend some time with Eli & George and show them some of my favorite photographs from their special day.  After the wedding they left for a month long trip to Africa and then George has been away traveling for work so this was the first chance we had gotten to review them.  I put together this short video slide show for them and they said that I should post this so their friends and family could see some of the photographs and remind everyone what such an amazing day it was.  

If you were there this starts out with some shots of Eli getting ready with friends and family.  Then a few of the many formal shots that we took before everything got started.  It then moves into the very emotional service.  Afterwards Eli & George took a short walk to be on their own for a while and I worked with a very long lens to give them their privacy yet capture the first few minutes of their marriage.  Then this closes with the reception and dancing.  It’s a little longer than normal but I think its worth it.   

If you need to take a break from your day please click on the thumbnail, sit back and enjoy some lovely photographs of a beautiful wedding here in Seattle set to some great music.

The wedding was held at the Pravda Studio’s on Capital Hill in Seattle and its such a lovely venue to work at, although a little tough photographically because of the lighting contrasts.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of photographing Eli’s and George’s wedding at the Pravda Studio’s on Capital Hill in Seattle. With it’s open windows and the bright sunlight streaming through it made quite the backdrop to the service. Depending on your angle at times the photographs were framed with this brilliant bright halo that completely backlit the subjects making for some exquisite shots. Yesterday I had the help of David Streams my good friend and fellow photographer, plus Miss Nicole who was assisting with lighting and such.  Both made the day a whole lot easier - thankyou!

For the friends and family that know Eli and George well it’s probably not a surprise for them at how wonderful the day’s events were.  It was a day filled with humor, laughter, compassion, love and many tears. At times I’m not sure if there was a dry eye in house, even the catering staff were in tears. For myself who only recently gotten to know them as a couple I felt privileged and honored to be part of their very special day - thankyou!!     

They leave soon for a trip to Africa and I wanted to post a few previews before they jet off. Have an amazing trip Eli & George and see you when you return as we have lots more photographs for you to see.
