the decisive moment | wedding at the four seasons hotel seattle

FRANCESCA & JOHN | WEDDING | THE FOUR SEASONS HOTEL | SEATTLE, WA
Classic, elegant, warm, dramatic, open, loving, simple, and amazing.

The Decisive Moment: Any art photography student can describe for you Cartier Bresson’s “decisive moment”. During one of the first conversations Francesca and I had, we discussed Bresson and how the concepts constantly play into wedding photography, such as capturing emotion, drama, and life one frame at a time. Fast forward six months to 11/11/11, Francesca’s Wedding Day. During our scheduled portrait time on a stormy Seattle day, the clouds abruptly parted and our “decisive moment” occurred. Suddenly, the dark stormy weather paused, the rain stopped , the wind slowed, and golden light poured in from the West. Our clients were ready, the cameras were filled with memory cards, and in front of us was a perfect location with amazing light. Many other moments and emotions filled the gorgeous ceremony and reception. But those twenty minutes of perfect light, loving clients, and spectacular location were my “decisive moments” for this wedding. Take a look at my favorite shots and let me know your thoughts! Congratulations Francesca and John!

SHELBY & DAVID | WEDDING | NOVELTY HILL JANUIK WINERY | WOODINVILLE, WA

Adjectives: Modern, Loving, Romantic, Playful, Open, Dramatic, Real, and Sexy.

Shelby and David are such an incredible couple. They are incredibly kind, humble, honest, fun people. Shelby & David chose Novelty Hill Januik Winery for their wedding celebration. The winery boasts modern architecture, with clean and dramatic angles and lighting. It was a fabulous location to shoot, and I continuously found new inspirations around every corner. The morning started with Shelby getting ready at Willows Lodge, while the guys got ready at David’s office. There were so many beautiful details from Shelby & David’s wedding that it was difficult to choose pictures for the blog. We captured some emotional images of their first sight of each other with a little help from David’s son, Chase. He has become increasingly interested in shooting ever since I photographed their engagement session this spring. Watch out fellow photographers, by the time Chase can obtain a work permit, he’ll be shooting some amazing images! After Willows Lodge, we hopped in a limo and went to Shelby’s parents home on Lake Washington to capture a few additional portraits, then we were off the Januik Winery for the Ceremony and Reception. Take a look at my favorites and their slideshow below. Congratulations Shelby & David!

When I first met Sara and Niall, we had an immediate connection. They are both down to earth individuals that share a profound love and respect for each other. The morning started with Sara getting ready at Source Salon in Ballard. Niall and his family (most of whom had flow in from Ireland) got ready at private residence in Ballard. We captured images all around Ballard before heading to The Canal for the ceremony and reception. Sara and Niall’s wedding was such a lovely affair.
