Wedding Photography
Lauren and Jeremy jumped for joy when they hear their wedding photographs are ready.
I have been editing Lauren and Jeremy’s wedding photographs for a couple of days and will post a gallery to the new location of my wedding photography blog at A Beautiful Day Photography in a couple more days when I finish. I just let Lauren know and she replied that she is so excited that I thought I would post this one shot now to hold her for the next day or so until I am done with the rest.
They were so excited on their wedding day. It was a lot of fun working with them covering their wedding celebration. Please change your RSS or bookmark to the new address http://abeautifuldayphotography.com/blog or just click on Seattle Wedding Photography Hope to hear from you there soon.

Kerri Higgins and Graham Sheldon got married on August 15ht at McCurdy Park and the Museum of History and Industry MOHAI. It was a beautiful summer day with great sunlight and warm tempertures. The complete wedding has been edited and will be uploaded to the client section of the A Beautiful Day Photography website shortly as soon as the slideshow is done, but I wanted to get thwese few pictures up here first to tease to what will be coming. There are so many really great photos from the day it is hard to select.

Large Group Wedding Photography
Right after the wedding ceremony for Deana Satriano and Nancy Bronson wedding on July 4th at the Camano Country Club, we got everybody together for a group wedding photograph of the Bronson Family.
Off in the distance we were hearing the sounds of fireworks going off on the beach as Islanders hanging out on the beach celebrated our country’s birthday and it seemed for Deana and Nancy too. I like the view of the Cascade Range in the background.

Black and White Wedding Photography
Katie and Craig and their friends and family outside the Red Barn Studios near Chehalis Washington
In my previous post everyone at their wedding got together and posed for a group panorama portrait indoors on the spot where the ceremony had been held minutes before because we figured the weather was too cold and wet to go for the outdoors shot. At the time, it seemed like the best we could do under the circumstances. Afterwards every one went downstairs for the cocktail hour and I packed up my lights and camera. As I headed out to the car with my gear I noticed that there was a break in the weather. The rain and snow had stopped and the sun was almost out, just hiding behind a thin veil of clouds.
My confidence in the indoor shot was a little shaky and so when I saw the clear weather I consulted with Katie and Craig and they agreed to go for a second chance and got everyone out on the deck for a second large group wedding panorama. I wonder if you would help me decide which panorama you would chose to have printed and hang on you wall if it was your wedding panorama? Please leave comments below.
I really like these panoramas in black and white. Not that I have anything against color photography, most of what I do is in color digital. But these digital photographs are converted easily into black and white photographs. They have a timeless quality I like. They look like they could have bee made 50 years ago.
Any way I do not think black and white wedding photography will ever go out of style.
Wedding Panorama Portrait
Katie and Craig and the people who came to their wedding
Katie and Craig were married at the Red Barn Studios near Chehalis Washington on Saturday March 7th. It was a cold and snowy and rainy day but we were all safe and warm in the 1937 gothic barn, a former dairy barn, turned into a unique venue for weddings other social gatherings by Jason and Laurie Dix who converted it with the help and support of friends and family.
Katie and Craig and their friends and family got together and posed for this group panorama portrait right after the ceremony right on the spot where the ceremony had been held minutes before. We figured the weather was too cold and wet to go for the outdoors shot we had talked about originally. We set up some additional lighting and it seem like the best we could do under the circumstances.
I was pleased when I saw the negative as I had some fears that it would have been filled with some nasty shadows. I could not really see the photograph since we were lighting it with strobe lights. The available lighting in the barn is kind of low for this old panorama camera which still uses rather slow black and white film for the photo.
To be continued…More photos from this wedding to come in the next day or so.
Candid Wedding Photos from the Italian Alps
Stella and Rob wanted to get married in January in snow country. They wanted to ski an have fun with their friends and family and they choose the South Tyrol, the Italian Alps, to do it.
It was a winter wonderland. They had everybody hike up a mountain for an hour then watch their wedding ceremony, have a hot mull wine and dance. Then everyone hopped on a sled and flew down the mountain. It was fantastic and the weather was perfect.
Here is a selection of photos that tell the story.
And so it went. A fabulous wedding celebration.
A Beautiful Day Photography – Seattle Wedding Photography
Suzzanne and Kurts wedding last year on the Skansonia on Lake Union.
I started blogging last summer and tried a couple of different versions of blogging software including Blogspot and WordPress and finally settled on this style from WordPress. It is called the Ambiru theme originally designed by Phu. It has been further customized for a Beautiful Day Photography by Neetnet, the web design firm run by my wife Jana. She widened the format to allow for the much easier posting of large format photographs. That had been my gripe about the other themes available for blogging. There do not seem to be any off the shelf blog themes designed to show big pictures and that to me is primary for a photography blog of any sort. I am lucky to be married to a talented web developer.We will very soon be linking the website A Beautiful Day Photography to this blog as the official blog.
Indian Wedding Photographer – Panoramic Group Photograph
I photographed Mychal and Sunita’s wedding last year and gave them this panorama but their dog ate the print. I just printed another one and thought I would post it here. Her family is Indian and the ceremony was a wonderful Indian ceremony outside near the water. This photo shows everyone at the ceremony.
Seattle Photographers – Narby Family Photograph
Tim Narby and Family = Note Bene Winery
Just taking a break for the wedding of Meghan and JP for an annual family photo shoot. Every year I for the past 4-5 years I have been asked to photograph Tim’s family photo which he then has Panda Lab print on a Christmas card. The cards are sent out to not just his friends and family but to subscribers and people signed up on the mailing list of his winery Note Bene. He makes really great bordeaux style wine from Washington state grapes and I look forward to getting this assignment from him every December. Right after the shoot he has an open house and I get to taste all of the 7-8 varieties he makes. What a treat.
Wedding Photographer and Family Photographer in Seattle
Got another commission for a family photograph from one of my former wedding clients Pam and Gary. They had a beautiful daughter Annabel this year and they will be sending this one out with their Seasons Greetings cards this Christmas.
They look so happy together.
Seattle Wedding Photographer Shoots Families Too
The Kreinherder Family pose for their family portrait not far from their Queen Ann Home
I am often asked to photograph families in the course of my work as an wedding photographer, and approach it much as I would a portrait at a weddng or an editorial assignment for a magazine. Look for good light and with a straightforward approach, show them at their best. Janee and her family made the assignment fun and the rare November sunshine made it easy. Late afternoon filtered sunshine is one of my favorite light sources.
