Cam + Michaela 06.28.08

We were so looking forward to Cam and Michaela’s wedding and we can’t believe it has already come and gone. They both have such a great energy and were so easy to work with and photograph. 06.28.08 was their wedding day with the ceremony taking place at the Church of St. Patrick in Tacoma and the reception held at the Canterwood Golf and Country Club in Gig Harbor. Here are just a few images we captured that day including their slide show below.

Engravable Signature Mat

If you’re thinking of having a signature mat for your guests to sign, you might want to consider an engravable signature mat. We photographed this at one of our weddings recently at Cedarbrook. It’s a very elegant option to the signature photo mat. Guests use an engraving scribe to permanently etch their signature and wishes into the mat. Very cool.

A sunny day in Seattle with a slight haze in the air and a wedding at the Olympic Sculpture Park and you have yourself a beautiful wedding. Add to that the uber talented photographer, Bradley Hanson, assisted by Paul Joseph Brown and you have one smashing event!

Keeping the day in check was Keri Cooper from Bliss Events.

Bradley photographed this wedding for us at OSP, just check out the amazing images he and Paul captured.

Low Tide

Sunday was low tide day again, so we went out to the Beach Drive area of Alki. Cole loved it, he was soooo excited about a golf ball that he found out in the rocks!

It was June, but yet we had our winter coats on…
