Tiffany and Jon: A Spokane Love Story

Tiffany and Jon are getting married in late June this year. They wanted to have an engagement portrait session that emphasized the location of the proposal. Well, that was at the Cliff Drive overlook above downtown Spokane. I suggested a sunset portrait and it turned out that it was the same time of the actual proposal. We reenacted the event; Tiffany brought the box for the ring that she's been wearing for months now. After placing the ring back in the box, Jon got back on his knee to pop the question for the camera. We had a great time (lots of kissing too - not by me of course...what were you thinking?). I can't stay in one location for long, so we made some intimate portraits below the cliff at the Corbin Mansion (Art Center) and then headed downtown for some edgier things on Howard Street, followed by a visit to Jon's favorite spot: the water falls below the Washington Water Power Plant. What a beautiful evening with a wonderful couple. I'm looking forward to the wedding!

Cameon and Rob Got Married!

I had a great time at the wedding of Cameon Eaton and Rob Bennington! The ceremony was both elegant and touching as the couple incorporated their respective children into their own new union. Mount Olive Lutheran Church in Shelton, WA never looked better for a wedding; special commemorative wedding banners were hung in place of the Lenten ones. The white rose creations by Lynch Creek Floral beautifully complemented the decor and particularly Cameon's and the wedding party's dresses. For me the most emotional part of the service was when all five children joined their parents to light the unity candle. There was no chance the big candle wouldn't light what with seven flames converging on the single wick! Although weather had worried everyone all day, I was able to create some great portraits of the couple at the classic Colonial House downtown before heading to the reception at The Pavilion. The party was great fun and I got to see folks that I hadn't run into in a number of years! Most poignant was the vocal performance by the collective daughters dedicated to Cameon and Rob - it's doubtful there were may dry eyes at the end. Rob faked me out by tossing the garter as soon as it was away from Cameon's leg - no photo there! Thanks you two for a great day... Congratulations!
