Cody and Chris's Wedding - Sneak Peek - Leavenworth Wedding Photographer

Cody and Chris's Wedding Day was one which symbolized their devotion and love for one another.  While the power was out everywhere in the Plain, WA area and massive trees were falling all over the place due to a recent snow storm, their LOVE for one another kept us all warm and safe through out the day.

Mountain Springs Lodge did an amazing job of generating enough power to pull off a fantastic reception in the middle of a total power outage.  Thank you and great job Mountain Springs Lodge!!!  We weren't so lucky to have power at the Plain Community Church for the ceremony but it was gorgeous and incredible even in the dark.

Here is a Sneak Peek into Cody and Chris's Wedding Day:

Help Portrait 2012 - Wenatchee

We have been super busy gearing up for the 2nd Help Portrait - Wenatchee Event.  Help Portrait is an international non-profit but even more it's an international movement of photographers partnering with hair/make-up artists, businesses and local resource centers to provide a day in which people-in-need can come feel LOVED, get beautiful and have a photo taken and printed for them.

Heidi and I first heard about Help Portrait at WPPI in Las Vegas a few years ago.  We heard Jeremy Cowart speak about why he started Help Portrait and he talked about what Help Portrait is all about.  We knew we had to bring something like this to our community!!!  Last year, along with the help of other dedicated photographers, an amazing hair stylist and local businesses, we were able to bring Help Portrait to Wenatchee for the first year.  This year, we have even more volunteers and even more support so we are super excited for another incredible Help Portrait Event.

Help Portrait is about sharing ourselves, our LOVE and our passion with others.  It is even more about making a connection with our guests and sharing the day with them than it is about giving a photo.  The photo is what starts the connection but it is our amazing volunteers sharing their LOVE that makes Help Portrait so special.  Please support Help Portrait and Help Portrait - Wenatchee

This years Help Portrait Event will be Saturday, December 8th at the Wenatchee Community Center from 10am-2pm.
