Alison and Eric were married at the Outlook Inn on Orcas Island. Most of our planning was done over the phone since they live in Virginia but I could tell we were going to hit it off. These two were so focused on having the best night of their lives.

Fortunately, the February weather cooperated.

I covet these shoes and the ability to walk in them.

These were taken on a small cliff behind the church. For this shot I set up my Norman A400B and shot through a small white umbrella, camera right. If you increase the shutter of your exposure by 2-3 steps you can pull in some intense colors during sunset.

and sometimes it’s nice to let the light speak for itself.

Alison’s mother, doing an interpretation of her daughter’s Hungry Like the Wolf karaoke performance from the night before. This woman is incredible!

This little girl wore her tiara all night. I have some photos of her dancing in front of the band where she looks like their lead singer.

They made ME feel young!

For me this image is representative of each of their personalities.

Alison & Eric, thank you for letting me into your family for the weekend. I hope you have long, loving, fun-filled life together!
