Michelle & Cody's Wedding | Pasco | Stone Ridge

Michelle & Cody! What a couple. We had tons of fun at Stone Ridge Event Center in Pasco. We started photos a little late (which is wedding par for the course), but everyone was organized enough that we got tons of great photos. Cody did an awesome job spinning Michelle in the vineyard, and Michelle did a great job trusting him and flying free! The ceremony was good fun; sentimental but not overly-dramatic. Each of them looked completely comfortable. The unity sand was great — far too much sand in their individual vials, which we suppose means they'll maintain some individuality.

A few drops of rain threatened to keep everyone indoors, but it quickly cleared up and no one seemed to mind the wind. Counter to what we expected from such a sweet couple, they playfully smashed cake all over each other. Towards the end, as the sun peeked out from behind the clouds, the gorgeous lighting made for some great last-minute photos of Michelle & Cody.

We won't hold it against them for being Cougs.

Erika & Nate’s Wedding | Benton City | Terra Blanca

What a day! Erika & Nathan play well together — such a whimsical couple. Terra Blanca winery in Benton City made for a stunning backdrop for both their photos and their ceremony. Their first look was under Terra Blanca's beautiful entryway arches. Erika had some of the most expressive faces, and Nate kept things loose for the photos, allowing us to capture some great looks between the two of them. Very photogenic couple!

The short-and-sweet ceremony took place in a tucked-away rocked-in area. Especially touching was the pillow carried in by the handsome ring bearer: it was made in memory of the bride's father out of his shirt and tie. The cake was covered in a multitude of white frosting roses — it seemed to be patterned to match Erika's dress!What a perfect spring day for this couple to tie the knot. We wish them a lifetime of happiness.

Amy & Colt's Engagement | Richland Engagement | Richland Parks and Horse Heaven Hills

What a stunning couple they make! Amy and Colt were so fun to work with. We visited a less-used park in Richland, and then made a mad dash out to Horse Heaven Hills to take advantage of the light. We even took some video along the way to incorporate into their wedding movie. They have us all-day for their wedding this September at Anthony's in Richland. We'll be shooting both photos and video, and we can't wait for it!

Kaycie & Sergio's Engagement | Benton City | Secret Vineyard

We had a relaxed shoot with Kaycie and Sergio at our secret vineyard — they were so photogenic! They brought along a chalk board to for various ideas (like save-the-date cards). Worked out well! We love it when people bring their own props. We're excited to be shooting their wedding this September at the Moore Mansion.

Kruz | Newborn Photos

A few weeks ago we were privileged to take newborn photos for one of our previous wedding couples. One of the things we love most is when we get to catch up and stay involved in our clients' lives after the wedding. This "little" guy is almost a month old and already getting big and strong. He had such a cute personality, we could tell he didn't appreciate us interrupting his nap-time, but by the end he was alert and curious about the new people who came to visit him. We also got some adorable shots of Kruz with his mom and his helpful big brother.

Paige's 2nd Year

This movie is of Ryan & Emily's little girl, Paige. This is an example of a new service we're offering: to document your child (or children) throughout the year. We shot this over the span of 2011 so it would cover her growth. We shot around our house, grandparents' house, grandparents' cabin, and a fall festival.
