Amanda & Giezi are married, after an amazing weekend wedding in Baja, Mexico.

Amanda & Giezi are both very fun and caring people, and they know how to put on a good wedding. Festivities began a few days before the wedding, and included good food, plenty of sun, bocce ball,  and a group of awesome people, all making the whole event a blast to be a part of.

Much thanks to both of their families for their generous hospitality and fun times shared! Here are a few photos and my attempt at summarizing our time together. Congratulations Amanda and Giezi.

A little relaxation was key to making this wedding what it was, the location, delicious food and tasty drinks all made it easy to do just that.

Beautiful Bride & Bridesmaids

I really like this arch way.

Jonny & Suzie are getting married this summer! We set out to give them some practice time in front of the camera, and to take some engagement photos. Their wedding will be in Iowa, where Suzie is from, it should be a fun time with family, and we will see if we can get some corn and hay bails in the photos! I had a fun time with them at Discovery Park in Seattle, here are just a few from what we got there. Enjoy!

Jaime and Ben! I can’t say that I have ever had the opportunity to take part in any wedding quite like theirs! The wedding was beautiful and full of meaning. Location: The Urban Light Studios in Seattle, Washington. It was a gorgeous celebration with nothing “normal” about it, I think not being normal was the goal and this let their creative personalities come through in the details. The special Star Wars guests were there in honor of Jaimie’s brother who was a big fan and recently passed away [10MY].
