by Seattle Wedding Photographers Joe & Jill. 

Lesa & Zach were married at the Suncadia Resort in Cle Elum and we were the lucky wedding photographers! It was a beautiful sunny day for a wedding, with just enough wind to create some drama for the photographs.

The reception non-stop rocked and we had a fantastic time hanging out with the Moyer Foundation clan.

Lesa and Zach, we can’t wait to have you guys over to the studio next week to check out all 600+ photos!

Perisha and Drew experienced one blustery engagement session, but what a fun memory!  We can’t wait to do their wedding photography this summer . . .

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

Here are some engagement photos of our friends Andrea and Ryan.  Jill will be a bridesmaid and Joe will be photographing the wedding at the Canal in Ballard.  It should be fun!

I love these kinds of “portraits” where the bride and groom are just interacting with each other. We always try to get a few with everyone smiling at the camera etc., but then also encourage our subjects to just be in the moment and concentrate on each other. It always results in great pictures.

So I met up with Willvin & Rut for a third round of engagement portraits. They are going to have three books at different spots at their reception for their guests to look at. One set from fall in Leavenworth, one in winter and one set taken on a beautiful spring day. Here is the last set for the spring.
