These two are great people with great hearts. I wish I could be around them more.

This is a visual study on a collaboration with photographer Kyle Johnson.
Together, Kyle shot Hasselblad and I shot digital, documenting a wedding
last year. It is fascinating to compare two perspectives of the same event.
Props to Kyle for shooting a Hasselblad p.j. style. A big thanks to Anna
and Stephen for inviting both Kyle and I to document.

Portland, Oregon

Ahhh, these people are so good to me. Roald and Lauren are some of my
closest friends here in Seattle. Roald and I have played music together
for over 10 years. Roald and his family are from Durban, South Africa
and so they had their wedding with all of their family back home.
It was really special being there with some of my closest friends
and seeing a part of their history that I had never seen before.
All of the family was incredibly warm and welcoming and it was hard
leaving them (I miss all you!).

You both are a blessing to me. Love you guys.

TWO MONTHS EARLIER

I wish I could have spent more time getting to know Hilary and Joel.
It was a wonderful feeling being around their family and friends.

It was wonderful understanding who Jen and Brodie are.
They are both gentle people with kind demeanor.
I hope you can see this in their photographs.
They created a beautiful wedding that I am thankful
to be a part of.

Thanks to Michael Porter for being my second shooter.
McKenzie Powell did a superb job designing the wedding.
Mitch of Cabfare created a great video for Jen and Brodie.
And Erin Skipley did an amazing with makeup (as usual).
Fireseed is one of my favorite venues and Dave and Dawn
always do an incredible job with the food.
Jen+Brodie were also featured by Emilia over at Style Me Pretty.

Jen and Brodie, thank you :)

Victor and Britni were so welcoming, loving, and wholesomely happy.
I was thoroughly blessed spending time with them, their family and friends.

Sometimes your close friends live far away and you wished
they lived nearby so that you could become even closer friends.
This is Karli and Caleb.

Karli and Caleb, you both have such generous and calm hearts.
I was fortunate to be at your wedding, let alone document it.
Being there and seeing how truly happy you were was enriching.

Thank you.

Minneapolis, Minnesota

Matt & Katy are renowned photographers out of Minneapolis. Check them out!
Fear of shooting other photographers’ wedding was completely removed when Katy
picked us up at the airport. I am not sure how I became so lucky to work with such
kind-hearted people. I also had the privilege of working alongside Vanja Horonic
who was shooting some nice Hasselblad film! Woooooo! (credit to her for a few
of these digital frames from the dance party).

My sister and Neil were married last month near the bay area in California.
It was an elopement with just a few of us from the family along for the adventure.
We all went to Disneyland afterwards! These photos are all from a Holga.

I cannot say enough about Emily and Colby. They have the
warmest hearts and I felt like family among them and their friends.
I feel very blessed to know them and to have documented their wedding.
