Willows Lodge is next door to Red Hook Brewery. Heather, Eric and I walked over there for a few portraits. Very fun.

Here is Eric and his groomsmen. I love my 24L (that’s a lens).



Willows has this huge, cool tree stump thing out in front of the lodge. I wanted to get the whole thing with the blue sky and sun, but that left Heather and Eric in almost complete darkness, so I pulled out my handy dandy remote flash and brightened them up a bit. Very fun!

The centerpieces were cool. I like it when they figure out how to make something cool and decorative and at the same time let the guests see the other side of the table.

It is a pet project of mine to take interesting images of the glassware that is always sitting around at weddings.

Sneha & Tarak at the Bellevue Westin
Monday, July 6th, 2009By Seattle Wedding Photographer Cory Parris
I had a fabulous time at Sneha and Tarak’s wedding. The Westin in downtown Bellevue was beautiful. I also my favorite little assistant (my daughter) along for the first part of the day. We had a blast!

Sneha cracks up at something Tarak said. This happened a lot with them!




Sneha and Tarak were married on the 13th, so we took a gook luck photo to illustrate it!

I caught this image of a mother holder her daughter’s stuffed animal - this is an Ugly Doll for those of you without children!

Tarak’s family paraded down a side street with the assistance of DJ Rocky and his portable in-truck setup.

Annie & Ryan - Wedding at Cedarbrook in Seatac!
Tuesday, June 16th, 2009By Seattle Wedding Photographer Cory Parris
Annie and Ryan are a great couple. Very fun and friendly - they made me feel like a family member at their wedding! We started the day at Cedarbrook Conference Center in Seatac where the official ceremony was early in the day with an outdoor ceremony for family and friends in the afternoon and the reception at Tea Palace in Renton. What a blast. I love my job!

Annie, rebel that she is, standing on a table for a portrait. Standing on the table gave a cooler view and less cluttered background.

Annie is doing her best to stuff the ring onto Ryan’s finger, but the heat made his fingers swell!

Krissy and Chris had a beautiful wedding ceremony at the Palace Ballroom. They are a fun couple and I had a blast taking their photographs! Also, the dinner was fantastic.

Krissy and Chris started out at the W Hotel in Seattle

Krissy and the dress

Happiness is a set of Manolo Blahnik wedding shoes…and a decent guy to marry is a bonus.




I love Chris’ expression when he sees Krissy for the first time in the dress

Anyone that reads the blog on a regular basis (I think there are a few out there) know that I love hands. I think hands tell stories and I love this story.

Here is the happy couple in the alley behind the W hotel.

I like this detail image of the bouquet.

Krissy wanted a portrait that stopped traffic!

Here is Krissy looking out the window of the car.

I found this old parking garage behind the Palace Ballroom and thought it would be perfect for the bridal party portrait


The incomparable Chris

I set up a flash to highlight the very cool wedding cake.

Here is the hands thing again. You can see the suppressed excitement.

The hands of the talented Sean Paul, local cellist.


Here is a candid image of Krissy as she is waiting for the wedding to start in the back room of the Palace.

I love how this image captures the pools of light that were around during the wedding.

Krissy and Chris kiss to seal the deal. The blue color in the background is from the daylight peaking through the curtains.

I thought this was so cool. Each table had an appetizer fondue!

I don’t know what was going on, but I thought this moment was hilarious.

This is Krissy and Chris’ first dance.
