Allisyn & Cody's Wedding Movie | Highland Gardens

What a *fun* bridal party they had! They climbed trees, played volleyball (in suits!), and were super-happy throughout. Allisyn & Cody were relaxed, despite the 100° temperatures! Highland Gardens was a new venue for us; in fact we'd not shot in Deer Park before. The staff there were quite accommodating and pleasant to work with. Allisyn & Cody had an extremely short ceremony. We bet people were thankful since many were in the intense heat.

We found opportunities to use our helicopter for a few shots — check out the short version of their movie below!

Kristin & Grant Wedding Photos | Terra Blanca Winery

If you could define Kristin & Grant in one word, it would be Classy. Their small wedding at Terra Blanca was elegant without being overly-sophisticated. And her swanky flowers were completely original — we don't even know what they're called! We're always thankful for the views and options Terra Blanca provides, but we really lucked out on light in the evening. It wasn't an incredible sunset, but it was a lovely soft light.

We know Kristin & Grant will love their new life together!

Brooke & Matt's Wedding Movie & Photos | Kennewick First Methodist & Anthony's Banquet Center

Brooke & Matt had been dating for ages, but what makes them so compelling is that they act like they just started dating! They regularly make each other laugh! Yet it was clear from their sweet ceremony at Kennewick First Methodist that they're serious about their commitment to each other. They threw a delightful party at Anthony's Banquet Center — filled with sentimental speeches, loads of dancing, and evening lighting to die for. We took them out along the river near sunset to take advantage of the insane reds and purples in the clouds. Despite the menacing prospect of rain throughout the day, we ended up with lucky, perfect timing on everything!

We found a couple opportunities to get helicopter footage at their wedding. Check it out in the movie below!

Melissa & Kevin Wedding Photos | Stone Ridge Event Center

June in the Tri-Cities is supposed to be sunny, right? Rain threatened every moment of the ceremony! But a little drizzle didn't dampen Melissa & Kevin's spirits. Both the bride and groom appeared to enjoy every moment of their day. Better yet, their kids served as flower girl and ring bearer....both were ridiculously adorable and handled the commotion of a wedding day with aplomb. Despite the occasional rain (and the subsequent scrambles indoors at Stone Ridge Event Center), the day was thoroughly enjoyable. We're sure that Melissa & Kevin will continue as great parents and perfect partners for each other.

Jessica & Dave's Wedding Photos | Stone Ridge Event Center

We were fortunate to shoot Jessica & Dave's wedding, despite the threat of rain! (What is it with the rain these days?!) Talk about characters — Jessica was hilarious throughout the day, and Dave and his groomsmen wore custom-made formal camouflage vests! (They're avid outdoorsmen.) The overcast skies lent us some great light. After their outdoor ceremony at the beautiful Stone Ridge, they partied and held their own. Then we stuck around to take advantage of the fireworks set off after the baseball game nearby. So glad it worked out!

Ruth & Chris' Wedding Movie & Photos | Benton City | Christ the King & Terra Blanca Winery

Talk about a fun couple! Ruth & Chris' wedding at Chris the King Catholic Church was sweet, but the real fun was watching them get ready and afterward at Terra Blanca Winery. Chris' letter to Ruth made us want to cry, and it certainly did the trick on Ruth. We got a chance to use our remote-controlled helicopter a few times — check out the movie below to see the footage! We were so happy to have been a part of this wedding. We're thankful to Ruth & Chris, and we wish them the best in their life together!

SVZ-USA

Did you know that firefly BLU does a lot more than weddings? Here's an example of a web site commercial we produced for SVZ USA, an Othello-based industrial fruit and vegetables company.

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.

Melissa & Kevin | Benton City Engagement | Secret Winery

We had the privilege of shooting not only Melissa & Kevin for their engagement, but their two beautiful kids as well! We're very thankful to the owners of the secret winery where we shot these photos — they're very accommodating! Melissa & Kevin did a great job helping us pose the kids. And the kids themselves were great to work with. We're excited to be shooting their wedding in June at Stone Ridge Event Center!
