Seattle Wedding Photography: Heather and Dave

Mindy and I had such a great time shooting this wedding. It was held at the Glendale Country Club in Bellevue.

I love their expressions here. They were SO happy to see each other:

Heather's almost-brother-in-law made a much appreciated slurpie run just before the portrait session. We took them with us throughout the golf course. You can be sure there are plastic cups of ice cold sugar just outside the frames of each of these next images:

My favorite of the day:
At one point, Mindy found herself tagging along and trying to manage the reflector as well as three slurpies. What a great assistant:



This is Aiden. At first he was reluctant to pose in front of the camera at all, but I told him, "I'm also a teacher so it's okay." Then he decided he should show off his dance moves, and he didn't stop all night. You'll see more of him later:

Yes, this is skipping... and hand holding. It was a good time:




Look at these faces. They are SO happy to be with each other:

Heather and Dave had their guests sign the matting around a print from their engagement session:

There were some SERIOUS kid dancers in attendance:

Pinochle Pinnacle

Every year a bunch of us try to make it out to my friend James' cabin. It's always a gerat trip filled with swimming, seafood, great conversation, old friends, and of course... pinochle. This is what James and I melded at about midnight one night. My (our) best hand EVER:

James called spades just hoping for the Queen because he was dealt three legs of double pinochle. When I passed, I held on to the Ace of spades because I figured James already had one and I wanted to keep my Ace's around. We ended up with the following: the run, double pinochle, Kings around, and Aces around from me, not to metion the nine of trump. After playing through the hand, I think we ended up scoring 860 points in one hand... and we still lost the game.

Heather and Dave: Preview

I'll get the rest of these up shortly, but I was hoping to get something out while Heather and Dave were still in the States and (possibly?) with family. Thank you Heather and David and family for a great day. We'll see you all again in a couple short months... and then again in a year!
