What a great looking family eh? And they did a great job. I just had the privilege of making a portrait of all forty two of them. I won’t say it was easy, but I enjoy a hearty challenge. The planning started well in advance, meeting with Mr & Mrs Chamberlain and then visiting their farm various times to layout and plan the portraits. I even chatted with a few of my mentor photo elders before photo day, discussing options and getting ideas. When the time came, I didn’t even have an assistant, but planning ahead made things come together almost perfectly.

I just posted Jayme & Brandon’s awesome wedding album. This is the Fusion slideshow. Put simply, it’s the highlights of their wedding photos set to music. The twist is that is has little video clips mixed in, bringing it to life. I’m not a wedding videographer. But I love what I was able to do to this story by adding a little bit of video.

Jayme, Brandon and their family were great. This is one of those weddings that was a lot of work, but a real pleasure. From early morning to late evening and even a trash the dress session the following week. Jayme & Brandon were into it and that makes amazing things happen. This was one of those projects that makes me love my job because the couple was so in Continue reading 'Wenatchchee Wedding Photography for Jayme & Brandon.'
What kid doesn’t love a holiday where exploding things is OK. I guess I’m still a kid in that sense, because 4th of July is still a favorite of mine. The independence of our nation celebrated by family, fireworks and banners. Once every few years my family pitches in and we have a big get together with a great DIY fireworks show. This was one not one of those years however, so I decided to help out on the crew of Orion Pyrotechnics for a show they were doing in Ephrata. It was neat to work on a professional show, and something that’s been on my todo list.
Orion did fireworks as well as explosives for the stunts at this even and I manged to grab some cool photos along the way. I’ve also been toying with HD video lately so I also captured some of the of the action with motion. It was a fun day and I’m considering doing more and perhaps even getting my pyrotechnics license.

Last Saturday I was photographer in a beautiful wedding over at Hidden Meadow, for Kelly & Steele (the couple I posted engagement photos of a few weeks back). Hidden meadow is simple but beautifully done. It’s like a giant garden oasis in the middle of the Moses Lake area dessert and made a stunning backdrop for Kelly & Steele to say their vows and enjoy family & friends.

Last night we went down to Wenatchee and headed to the river with Jayme and Brandon (I posted a sneak peak on their wedding last week). We took this wedding dress and cut it off at the knees, giving it a cropped jaggy look... Continue reading this.
by Gavin Seim: Midnight Seattle is an HDR photo I made of the Seattle Skyline. It went to the PPA International Print Competition this year and was awarded a Loan Collection merit. For those not familiar with PPA, this is a good thing. I’m told it will be be published in the international Loan collection book as well showing at Imaging USA 2011. This is the first year I’ve entered at nationals. I must confess, making the Loan Collection was really on my wish list. While this is the only of my four prints that merited, I’m still a happy, thankful camper. For those interested in HDR, check out my up coming HDR workshop on the Seim Effects site.
Last week I had the pleasure of photographing a super fun wedding for Jayme & Brandon. It was at the Highlander Golf Club in East Wenatchee...
