Wedding magic with Doug Gordon

Last week, Robin and Ryan were fortunate enough to attend a photography workshop offered by renowned wedding photographer Doug Gordon. It was a beautiful day for shooting in Seattle, and they had a fantastic time learning from Doug and setting up shots on 5th Avenue. It's important for us to always be at the top of our game in order to give you, our clients, the best images we can-- because you deserve it! This workshop was a great opportunity to brush up on our skills and get a first-hand experience with some of the most cutting-edge concepts and techniques of today. Thanks to Doug for a fabulous experience!


Cheers!

Love is in Paradise




Robin and I were invited to be part of a very special wedding in June. This wedding was very special in a few different ways. Not only was it in Montego Bay Jamaica, but it was my closest cousin Melissa's wedding.
I first met Brian (groom) in NYC in June of '09. It was 85 degrees and 80% humidity and we were walking around Central Park. I of course had a flask of whisky. Don't judge me, its a good ice breaker. When I asked the group who wanted a sip, Brian was the first to step up. I knew at this point it was all good, even though he is a Yankee fan.
With Brian and Melissa's closest family and friends they made a promise to each other that will last a life time. We celebrated love in paradise. Left the worries of our regular lives back in the states and lived a dream that will forever live in our memories.


Congratulations to Brian and Melissa. I wish you all of the happiness in the world. And thank you for trusting in us to document your love.
