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.

Here is a Corona all lit up

Sandy and Billy were married on a beautiful day at the Lake Union Yacht Club (formerly the Tyee Yacht Club). You can see the slideshow here!

The ISPWP (International Society of Professional Wedding Photographers) is a very cool organization. They only let in the best photographers, require you to have photographed 50 weddings as the primary photographer, and you have to get past the membership committee as they scrutinize your work for quality. I liked the idea of the ISPWP so much that I joined and volunteered to be a member of the membership committee. Then they had a contest and I entered nine images and eight of them placed!

I think the critique of this image is funny. I thought it was cool that you could see the Space Needle on the left and I purposely shot the image so the Space Needle would be visible!

I was very happy to place in this category as I figured it would have the most entries and the most outstanding images.
