Dulce and Mark Wedding

August 31, 2008 – 4:03 pm

It was a beautiful day at Newcastle Golf Club for Dulce and Mark’s wedding. Beyond the usual excitement of shooting another loving couple’s special day, the day was special for me as I had the honor of shooting wingman for Boone Rodriguez, one-half of the west coast photography powerhouse known as Gabriel Boone Photography.

Dulce’s wish was for a beautiful and classic wedding. The view from Newcastle and the decorative ambiance provided the perfect backdrop for a lovely wedding and fantastic party between this unique union of Hispanic and Vietnamese cultures.

Mark showed no signs of sweat prior to the ceremony while hanging out in the Wooley Toad bar with the guys

And here is the man… Boone gets up in the action with some arms-length party flash! Check out his blog post and images here.

Wendy and Brett Wedding

August 27, 2008 – 12:31 am

The setting was beautiful at the quaint Roche Harbor Resort on San Juan Island, WA for Wendy and Brett’s big day. They are a fantastic couple and not even the 90 degree weather could slow them down.

Brett was sporting a vintage set of cufflinks that belonged to his late grandfather.

After all that strolling in the high heat, a gratis touch-up at the Afterglow Spa was just the ticket

Tommy Dean

August 26, 2008 – 7:38 am

Last night was billed as Tommy Dean and Friends at the Rendez-Vous’s Jewelbox Theater. It was a coming out party of sorts as Tommy has been out of the public eye for a spell while putting the finishing touches on a recent album.

Seeing Tommy live was a true thrill as he is an incredibly exhilarating performer. It was also great to come full circle as I was tapped back in March to shoot him at Seattle’s famed Studio X during the recording sessions that were the genesis for his new album.
