Hard, On Camera Flash, Seattle, WA

We had a few friends in town about a month ago (geez, has it been that long really?). I decided to bust out an old speedlite and snoot the heck out of it. I can't tell if it has a vintage feel because its a vintage light, or if its just my mind playing tricks on me. What do you think?

Chris Atto, Double Whiskey Ginger, Seattle, WA

Chris flew out to experience the magic of Seattle for a few days. He is a music nut and runs a good daily-dose-of-new-music blog called dailybeatz. Check it out here. The guys can also pour a solid drink. More direct flash goodness coming soon!

Ingrid+Eric, Married, Rattlesnake Lake, North Bend, WA

I met Ingrid and Eric at a coffee shop in Queen Anne sometime over the winter. They were not sure about all of the details for their fall wedding, however they knew they wanted a photographer who was up to camp overnight in the cascade foothills with their families. Was I game? Absolutely!
Fast forward 9 months and I joined them out at the Cedar River Education Center at Rattlesnake Lake. I photographed their intimate ceremony, followed by food, cake, good conversation and dancing. Eventually, we made our way to the Denny Creek Campground up near Snoqualmie Pass for a campfire, stealth frisbee games, and a few stories.
After a quick breakfast on Sunday Morning, we took off for the ledge, Ingrid and Eric with their wedding gear, me with my cameras. There was a small crowd at the top, most of whom were shocked to see a bride and groom emerge on the precipice. We made a few images and hiked on down.
Enjoy!
