  • A Family Portrait in Ephrata

    UPDATE 12.10: The final prints have been made and hung in the clients home. I’ll add a photo below of the main print, which ended up being a 70in framed heirloom canvas. The two other scenes were both made as 36in heirloom canvas for other areas of the house.

    What a great looking family. And they did a great job as this was no easy task. I just had the privilege of making a portrait of all forty two of them. I won’t say it was easy, but I good 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.

  • Wedding Photography in 2008

    I’m excited about wedding photography for 2008. there’s a lot of neat things I’ve started offering brides and grooms in the past year from wedding day slideshow at the reception, to cool printed products that make their wedding photography a great experience. The HDR technology I started last year has come along as well. It makes such amazing and dramatic wedding landscapes that you have to see to believe!

    I‘m amped about the printed items this year too. I’ve learned that though I give high quality edited digital files to all mt couples, there;s just something about printed products. Whether it be an album, a framed print, mini books ect. The images that we can touch and feel just come alive.

    I also have some really cool wedding books and mini books for 2008, that I’ll be taking with me to the wedding show this year. There’s the 10 page 4×6 books that I usually give to the bride as an extra gift. These may not seem like much but their flush mounted images and super neat since they highlight moments from the wedding in something that can easily be carried in a purse. There’s also a similar book thats an even smaller wallet size. I have all kinds of nifty little things, and you’ll defiantly want to ask about the 8×8 mini albums.
    I hope to see some cool locations this year with some weddings up in Spokane a and Seattle. It always nice to have a change of scenery. Who knows maybe we’ll even go to Mexico, the Bahamas, or Italy for a destination wedding.

    See you in Wenatchee this weekend… Gav

  • Spokane Wedding Photography at Bozarth Mansion

    I love being a photographer! Here’s a fun shots from a wedding at the Bozarth mansion in Spokane Washington.

    It’s a great location for a wedding in Spokane. Lots of room, and beautiful scenery. The outside is almost fairy tale looking especially at night. There’s a neat outdoor courtyard, and a covered area great for dancing.

    Erica, and Brett’s wedding went great. The lighting here was super, and I was able to get some great shots. I especially like the window they had set the cake by, as it gave put a beautiful spotlight on it.

    UPDATE: See this post for a more recent posting from this wedding with more photos.
