I promised Stephen and Jess a sneak peak before their one week anniversary rolled around, and here I sit, a half hour before my deadline…

They couldn’t have asked for more perfect weather for their wedding day – as far as pictures were concerned anyways :)   Compared to the 90+ degree weather we’d had in the previous few weeks, the 70ish weather and cloudy skies made for no glare and shadows, and no sweat!    The portraits were taken at Western Washington University in Bellingham…  what a gorgeous campus.   Thank you for the opportunity Stephen and Jessica, we enjoyed sharing in your special day.    If you’re reading this while still on your honeymoon, enjoy the rest of your time in Alaska…  and see you back home soon.

A big thanks goes out to Lisa, for coming along and making the ride so enjoyable :)   I’m glad we got through the awkward moment (haha), and thanks so much for all of your creative ideas, great shots, and support!   I have a very attractive self portrait of the two of us for you to enjoy…  check your email.   I wasn’t quite daring enough to post it on here for the world to see….    lol.

Without further ado, here is Stephen and Jessica’s day – photo style.   As you will be able to tell, I had a hard time picking just a few favorites.
