Here are some images of the lovely Tori. We had planned on heading downtown, but ended up doing the images literally in her backyard!  It was great to see you again Tori!

This images was taken while Chris and I were driving back to Richland, Washington.

The other day, the groom’s uncle emailed me images that he took of Chris and I photographing Cory and Charity’s wedding. I had no idea that he was taking photos of us and it was a nice surprise to get an email full or images! Although I look silly in them, It still it fun to see images of myself at work!

Chris and I ventured out to the Tri-cities in Washington to photograph Cory and Chairty’s wedding. Cory, Charity, and the rest of the wedding party were up for anything. They even played football while all dressed up (more on that later). Their family and friends were so welcoming and fun to talk with as well! Here are a few images from their very special day!

Can we say BEAUTIFUL!!

Apparently Cory is known for this look! I think I have an image of at least 5 others (including his bride) doing this!!

This image is precious and seriously one of my favorites. Cory and his brother are about to hug in the background while Cory’s dad just got done hugging Cory. The emotion in this image really touches my heart.

Message from the Groom: Autumn Olive Photography did a Wonderful job. So many wedding guests commented on their work as more than profesional, but personal too! Plus they are tremendous friends!

The whole time that Chris and I were in Washington, we had a plan. We wanted to capture a part of the country we had never seen before with our cameras. Chris and I took the back roads to get where we wanted to visit. We wanted to see the countryside. We wanted to see the cows and tractors in the fields, and the orchards up close. We wanted to see the windmills and the barns. It is a part of our new project! To decorate the walls in our house. Yes, it is embarrassing to say that since we have built our house (some 1.5 years ago), we have yet to put ONE hole in our wall! I guess the main reason is because I have felt that nothing is “worthy” of being on our walls. It has to be special…have meaning….I guess I am kind of quirky like that (if quirky is a real word). So, we have decide to take scenery images that have meaning to us and get canvases made.

When I see this image I think about an EARLY morning driving to Leavenworth. We just stopped along side a road to see some big animals (for the life of me I cannot think what Chris called them). We were turning around the car and saw the barn. Chris stopped in the middle of the road and I snapped away. That is the memory I have with this image.
