Josh & Ben : Orcas Island, WA

From the blogging backlog comes Josh & Ben, who married on Orcas Island last year.  I just heard that they were able to get a Washington state marriage license today and will soon be making it legal eagle. YAAAAAAAYYYY!

For those of you in Seattle this Sunday, be sure to stop by 600 4th Ave for Get Married at City Hall for your dose of sunshine.  Over 140 couples will be getting hitched in the lobby and I’ve volunteered to photograph 28 of them.   I’ve bought some waterproof mascara for the occasion.

Concrete jungle where dreams are made of.

Finally home from my travel adventures to NY & AZ.  My talk at the Foundation Conference went well and I’m re-energized from spending a week at the Hotel Valley Ho with such an inspirational group of photographers.

More photo stories soon.

Update: On the road

Santa Fe, NM

I’ll be traveling for the next few weeks, with a handful of weddings in New York and a talk at the Foundation Conference in Arizona.  Although I’ll be checking email, my response rate may be a little slower than usual.  Thanks for understanding.

UPDATE:  I’ve been without power in NY due to Hurricane Sandy.  My family & I are safe but we’ve been told we’ll be without power for at least a week due to a tree that fell on our power lines and caught fire two houses down.
