The recent heat wave broke giving you a beautiful summer evening wedding at Hidden Meadow in Moses Lake. Everything about your wedding was absolutely perfect, from the bejeweled cake to the party until dawn. I had so much fun spending the day with you both. The hardest part was narrowing down which photos to show you here. Have fun in Vegas you two!

Eric’s one request was a “Reservoir Dogs” type photo with the men in the bridal party. What do you think Mr. Tarantino about Moses Lake for your next movie?

What a wonderful and fun way to kick of this year’s wedding season. Your family and friends were so warm and inviting, and your day went off without a hitch thanks to your fabulous Tri-City wedding vendors. I’ll never forget your perfect ending to your special day as the two of you jetted off to your wedding night in Jason’s classic 58’ Chevy Truck. Those pictures are amazing. You should be on postcards! I can’t wait to show you the rest of your photos. I hope you’ve got a drink with a little umbrella and are soaking up the rays in Hawaii as you see this.

Jason & Kristina

I love everything about this photo: the gorgeous couple, the colors, the perfect light, and of course the beautiful blue 58’ Chevy truck.

Getting Ready

The beading and lace on Kristina’s gown and veil were gorgeous. I love how the veil frames her mother as she helps tie the bow on the dress.

Kristina

Doesn’t she make a lovely bride? This is just before the ceremony.

Rings

Jason’s ring was hand embellished by Beeman’s in Yakima. Don’t the two of them sparkle nicely on the hood of the pickup truck?

Hand In Hand

Hand in hand together forever. Congratulations Kristina and Jason!

Seriously, I am awed by the beautiful landscape near where I live. I love to watch it change as the light rolls across its rugged features. What a beautiful place for a love story to unfold.

Meet Kristina and Jason. This lovely Zillah, Wash., couple was up for a road trip to the Columbia National Wildlife Refuge to photograph their engagement session. I was a little nervous when it started sprinkling in the morning. I was in luck, though. By late afternoon the storm clouds and the sun low in the sky emerged into light so sublime you could eat it with a spoon.

Check out the photo on the cliff. I was half kidding when I said get as close to the edge as possible. I should have known this adventuresome couple wasn’t afraid to climb out there. The photos turned out amazing! I can’t wait to photograph their wedding in a few short weeks.
