Slide show from Katie and Nick's Wedding

Here's a slide show containing some of our favorite pictures from Katie and Nick's wedding last month.

Katie and Nick's Wedding

The winds were gusting to 40 miles per hour with intermittent rain this past Saturday as we drove to the Edgewater hotel on the Seattle waterfront. When she answered the door, Erin and I were face to face with a women that surely deserves the title of world most laid back bride.

The plans to shoot outdoors? "We don't need to do that. Let's improvise" Katie was the picture of poise throughout the day. It was so refreshing to watch her as she just let her day unfold how it may. And it was clear that she enjoyed every second of it.

Katie and Nick were married at the University Presbyterian Church in Seattle. Afterwards, they were whisked away to their reception at the Columbia Tower Club in a white Bentley. They took the scenic route and we met them at the top of Queen Anne at Kerry Park for a few shots overlooking Seattle just after sunset.

Katie and Nick soaked in every minute they had to celebrate with their guests, staying until it all ended just after midnight.

Congratulations to both of you! Erin and I can't overstate how much we enjoyed sharing your day with you and truly appreciate the trust you extended to us in letting us photograph your wedding.

Here are a few photographs with many many more to follow. Enjoy your honeymoon and we can't wait to catch up with you upon your return!

Love this shot...please pardon the pun ;-)

Katie, you looked absolutely amazing! And we loved how the 30 mile an hour wind gusts would catch your veil from time to time too

Complete joy

Congratulations Kristin and Erik!

Little League Day at the Mariners Game

Today is the day that thousands of little leaguer's and their families descend on Safeco field to watch the Mariners. Last year we missed it because we were vacationing in Florida and the year before that we didn't take the kids on the 'parade' around the field. So this year, we got an early start, picked up my mom in Bellevue and headed over to the stadium an hour before the game so that the kids would have a chance to walk around the outside of the field. I've got to say that even for big kids, the scale of the place is impressive. I couldn't imagine hitting a ball more than 400' and I certainly couldn't come close to fielding a ball and throwing it from the back wall into the infield.

And you know that I can't go anywhere without my camera, so here are a few shots of the kids with a bunch more here (or click on the pictures below).

I couldn't choose from all of the great shots of Cole, so I posted several. He had a great time and promptly crashed on the way home.

It was cool to see Ian hanging out with his friends. He is quite the ham; talking non-stop, telling jokes, and having a great time.

Here's Nathan without his coat. It could be 20 degrees and he'll refuse to wear a coat. We got stuck in the food line for the better part of an hour and the wind chill was kind of bad given the fact that the little league block seats are in the nose bleeds (not that I'm complaining or anything). He was shivering pretty badly by the time we got back to our seats. But he still didn't want his coat. No idea whom he inherited the stubborn gene from ;-)

Nathan's First Communion - May 17, 2008

Last week, Erin's folks and my sister Kate flew in to town from Ohio and San Diego respectively to celebrate Nathan's first communion this past Saturday. The weather was incredible albeit a bit hot (close to 90 degrees). After a couple of baseball games in the morning, the boys dressed up and allowed me to get some pictures of them looking like they are little adults. After the 5PM mass, we drove to Bellevue for a dinner celebration which lasted until almost 10:00 PM. The boys were pretty beat by the time we got home, but we still managed to get rolling at a decent time Sunday. More pictures from Sunday to follow, but first, I've posted some pictures from Nathan's big day below. If you click on any of them, there is a slideshow with many more pictures. Enjoy!
