Before their wedding day, I had never met Susi & Jonathan. They live out of state, and were not able to meet with me before their wedding. I am always a little more nervous when I haven’t met the couple in person. My worry vanished the second Susi flashed her beautiful smile! I obviously had nothing to worry about!

These two were pretty much up for anything; tromping underneath train tracks, laying in the grass, sliding down dirt hills… they were great! Their friends and family were super fun and welcoming. What more could a wedding photographer ask for? :)

The ceremony and reception took place at sunset in Snohomish, WA at Hidden Meadows. [ A great outdoor venue if I do say so myself ]

A special thanks to my new second shooter Keri Pinzon. She will be helping me out all summer long!

Congratulations you two!

  • sean - Awesome, KIm! The 135 seems to be getting some good use in the second to last frame.

  • Keri Pinzon - So beautiful Kim!! I love that wonderful sharp lens, with the wide open aperture, it makes your photo’s so dreamy!

  • Kim Seidl - oh my gosh.. these are all just amazing amazing!! i love the expression on her face during the ceremony- and the lighting is luscious. nice job!

    i was going to invest in one of them there fancy primes this week, but noooo, someone had to get anothera camera instead :(

Because of their love for the mountains, Greg & Brooke picked the perfect location for their marriage; The TImberline Lodge in Mt. Hood, Oregon. When I first booked this wedding, I was so excited. I had never been to Mt. Hood before, and I couldn’t wait to get there. I was blown away by the beauty of the mountain and amazed at how much snow was still on the ground! (I should have brought my snowboard!) Casey and I met in the mountains, so the outdoors holds a special place in our hearts too.

Speaking of Casey, I convinced him to come as my assistant. He has always been into photography, but has never photographed a wedding with me. He was the PERFECT assistant! He did a fantastic job! It was great to show him what I do and to have him along. He was so pumped at the end of the night. He kept bouncing business ideas off me and asking when he could help next. I really have to thank Greg & Brooke for his excitement. They were so welcoming and awesome to work with!! Does someone smell a husband and wife team cooking?

Greg & Brooke, you guys were amazing, and I know you will have a long and happy marriage! Thanks for having us!

After sitting in my office for the better portion of the day, I realized my furry little friends were not at my feet like they usually are. In our house, quiet dogs=trouble. They are “curious” dogs, and get into everything and anything they can. Lincoln will eat just about anything (except olives) and Pip will torture Miss Meows (who refuses to be photographed for my silly little human blog) until she’s at her breaking point. I decided to investigate. (Plus, I needed some doggie kisses)

I snuck downstairs to find two of the laziest dogs ever. They hardly looked up at me as I entered the room. Oh- so sorry to interrupt!

  • Heather - So cute!! I’m such a sucker for dog pictures and those are some great ones of Lincoln and Pip! My favorite is Lincoln resting his head on the pillow with one eye closed. Good stuff. I think I need you to take more pictures of Blue.

  • Jess - Ah!! I miss those guys! I miss Lincoln’s adorable “sad” face, and the way Pip crosses her paws when she lays down. Give them hugs for me!

  • Laurie Luck, CPDT - Love the Labs! I have two myself: Tango (yellow) and Lily (female). They are couch lovers, too. Great shots. :)

  • Your Mommie - Yeap! Your dogs are cute — and you get reaaly fun photos of them…. but my pups are way more cute! : )
    Love from your Mommie

  • c note - THIS is what goes on while I’m at work. I knew it. I’m biased but I think this is great work. Lots of personality. The yellow dog may have too much.

  • jme - You need to keep these handy for feeling the love the next time there’s a linoleum/rat bait/dog kennel eating incident….

  • Erin - Ohhhhhh the babies. Miss Gracie ‘hugs’ the pillow as well. She can’t sleep without one!
