This family is dear to me, and I had a blast spending the afternoon with them around Camas, WA. Wes has a BLOG definitely worth checking out, and it was fun to see him in one of his working environments (second to last shot in this series). Here’s the fun we had…

rings, rings, and more rings: details.

I was inspired by my post today on the Oregon Wedding Photographers Coalition (ORWPC) site to blog some more of my favorite ring shots. I went into greater detail of why I enjoy ring shots on the other site, so please check it out HERE, as well as look through what my fellow photographers and friends have posted of their own work. This week we have been running with the theme of ring shots on the ORWPC site, and we will be continuing to do various themes in the near future. You might rss it throw it in your google reader if you get the chance!

So, please check out the other site as there is a different ring shot there, and here are a few of my favorites to tide you over. The photographs here were taken in the last 3 years in Princeton, Chicago, Yakima, and Belfast (Northern Ireland).

The above and below photographs were captured on a wedding with my good friend Darci of Kazuri Images.

Finally, here’s the full post! Again, this was shot with Darci of Kazuri Images, and this wedding was so much fun to photograph as the location had a lot of fun places to shoot! Thanks again, Darci, for having me along on this wedding.

I was blown away when later I realized I had caught the ring being dropped (below)!

The full post will be coming next, enough with the foreshadow!!! But I thought these two would be fun to share before we get on with it. The photo on the right was really cool as the wind caught her veil and spun it as seen below. Again, this wedding was shot with Darci of Kazuri Images.

I had the chance to shoot as a second with some of my good photographer friends this last summer, and until recently I realized I never posted any images from those weddings! So, here is the beginning of some of those “lost & found” images. This was from a wedding in Yakima, WA with my good friend Darci of Kazuri Images. I’ll definitely be posting more from this wedding, and am now aiming to do a daily post, so be watching…

Revisiting the past, part V

Joel — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 04:51:37 +0000

A favorite place of mine has become the North Cascades. Cherice and I went for an anniversary trip up here the summer we found out she was pregnant. It’s one of those places I’d always heard about but never gotten around to visiting. Well, it’s now on the map. This was the middle of one of our hikes which looks down toward Lake Chelan from where we are at Cascade Pass. We did attempt the Sahale Arm, but found a glacier awaiting us. With Cherice being pregnant, and the fact that we had no actual climbing gear, we decided to enjoy the below view and then descend the pass. This experience made me long to backpack on the north side of the park where it is all back country. I figured if the south end was so beautiful with occasional hikers, the north must be amazing with no roads and just open country as far as you can see…to a certain point, I’m assuming. Although this wasn’t from WAY in my past, the experience was great for having one last trip together as a couple, before EP joined us on this side of the womb.
