They say rain on your wedding day is good luck…these guys will definitely live happily ever after! We did manage a few portraits outside (there was even some snow still on the ground!), before Shannon’s makeup and my equipment melted. Their son Rylan was an adorable ring bearer and loved hiding in mommy’s dress. He had me laughing all night long.

Patrick and I had a great time at this New Years Eve wedding celebration…what a party! Great ready for 3….2….1….

Loved this private moment after the ceremony 3...2....1....... HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! ]]> http://take5photoblog.com/shannon-stephen-portland-or-wedding-photography/feed/ 0 Katie + Zach {Kennewick, WA Wedding Photography} http://take5photoblog.com/katie-zach-kennewick-wa-wedding-photography/ http://take5photoblog.com/katie-zach-kennewick-wa-wedding-photography/#comments Thu, 11 Feb 2010 03:34:24 +0000 admin http://take5photoblog.com/?p=3489 I’ve known Katie for about 12 years now….wow, can’t believe it’s been that long! We grew up with a close group of friends in Kennewick, WA until I moved to Vancouver in 1990. We reconnected in collage and were even roommates with another one one my past brides, Liz. We had a great college experience together with many fond memories that I’ll always cherish (Go Cougs!) :-)

I was so honored that she and Zach chose me to photograph their wedding in December. I had an awesome time seeing all my old friends and being such an important part of their big day. Katie was an absolutely stunning bride and they had a lot of awesome details like her grandmother’s fur coat, a spacious cigar tent, and a full bar of Zach’s family’s delicious (and potent!) beer on tap. Like my husband Patrick and I, Katie and Zach went to rival colleges – WSU and UW. I loved seeing people giving them “house divided” presents…reminded me of my own wedding! Needless to say, Patrick and I had a blast!

Thank you Katie and Zach for inviting us to capture your wedding memories. What a great day! Love you guys!!

I turned my back for one minute and this is what the boys were doing... ]]> http://take5photoblog.com/katie-zach-kennewick-wa-wedding-photography/feed/ 1 Great Gift Idea! http://take5photoblog.com/great-gift-idea/ http://take5photoblog.com/great-gift-idea/#comments Sat, 30 Jan 2010 20:38:07 +0000 admin http://take5photoblog.com/?p=3291 Someone you know having a birthday or Anniversary?

I’m launching a new wedding website sometime next month and totally re-branding my portrait site, blog, marketing materials, and client proofing process. I will be keeping the old logo for my weddings, but since I shoot mainly portraits I thought it would be fun to have a new look! I’m super excited about the new branding and even more excited to show you all the cool modern products I’m going to be offering. So fun!

For now…here’s the new logo! New sites launching next month!
