Weddings, weddings, weddings...and awkwardness

All my pals are gettin' married! As I'm looking at a future venue and my morning blogs, I was also looking at Awkward Family Photos...I would not suggest this unless you want everything to start looking awkward :)
These two were from traditional wedding sites...

my first thought was...is that a coffin?

Umm...where are their bodies?
(Dreamtime images- which is actually a fabulous wedding photography site)

Some true winners from Awkward Family Photos....

And now a love song...

Happy Saturday!

Ellensburg, WA

I've been meaning to post some images from my shoot in Ellensburg. The images above are the flip stopper in my portfolio right now. Although it is a fashion series, they always prompt the question..."Do you ever shoot weddings or engagement photos?"

Why yes, I do. At one time, I always said that it wasn't my thing but if anyone looked at my work they could tell I am hopelessly romantic so it is right up my alley. I've finally embraced it.

My liaison was Doug MacArthur, a true modern cowboy. What an amazing human. A photographer himself, he took me and my friend, Evan on a five hour romp through the Washington countryside, checking out old falling apart homesteads and outhouses and chatting at a local diner. We shot this series on his property. I hope some day I can have another cup of coffee with him.
