I came to Western Washington University as a freshman in the fall of 1999. I studied Philosophy, and English; I met and shared life with some of the best friends I will ever have; and I eventually met my wife Mindy on the intramural softball field. (When she showed up, I got pushed to right field so she could take center.) And one other distinct memory from those years was my weekly walk down the hill from my college house to The Inn. I don't know how many hours I spent in the pews and back halls of the First Presbyterian Church where The Inn was held, but it was enough to etch itself firmly into the narrative of how I came to know my savior in a real and honest way.
On October 18th, I went back. Anna and Russ were getting married, and I had the privilege of photographing their day and their ceremony at First Pres. What a couple! They were totally up for any poses that came to my mind. They weren't afraid of a little mud on the wedding shoes. They were easy going and beautiful together. Put simply: It is good they are married!
I hope you guys love your pictures. Enjoy!
One more reason this wedding was fun to shoot was that my brother, Trevor, was a guest. I handed my camera to Steve Moore of Steven Moore Designs to take our picture and this is what I got. Don't worry though; he doesn't need skill with a camera to arrange flowers.
Keep up the great shooting Taylor! It's always great to see someone who does things differently than I do, it keeps me on my toes and inspired! Great to see an awesome photo of
ReplyDeleteRuss and Anna doin the music thing, I was waitin for it. And hilarious photo from Steve. We're all glad he doesn't shoot weddings:).
Fantastic stuff Taylor - you're just getting better and better!

Thanks you guys. I really appreciate your encouragement. It's good to know someone else thinks I'm doing something right!
ReplyDeleteThat picture of you and your brother is hilarious. Way to steal the show from the rest of the pictures. I'm just kidding. The rest of the pictures are amazing.
