Costco Holiday Party

COSTCO is a HUGE company based out of the Pacific Northwest, with warehouses all over the United States... and I had the opportunity to shoot the #01 Warehouse (Seattle) holiday party this weekend. They rented out the SEATTLE AQUARIUM -- MOSES, LINDSEY and I had a blast shooting them!





(Here's one -- to see more, click on the links below)

Since the store sells all of the holiday props (like trees, ornaments and wreaths) -- along with survival camp gear, the lastest technology and over-the-counter drugs -- They told us to not worry about the props, "Just bring your cameras". So, during the weeks leading to the event, we "forgot" about them... but apparently, so did Costco! ha ha ha!!! Because when we got there, all we had for the backdrop was a beautifully-painted full-wall mural (you'll see what I'm talking about in the slideshow)

Nonetheless, Maisha, Criselda and the rest of the committee did an awesome job planning and organizing the party. With 300+ people, we couldn't ask for more... The employees and their loved ones kept us busy the WHOLE NIGHT :)

By the way, their raffles were insane! I saw a plethora of people walking away with XBOX360's, PS2's (too bad they weren't 3's) and good, ol'-fashion $$$. Where was MY raffle ticket?!?!?!?!?! I was an employee for a day, wasn't I? LOL

If you're a Costco employee and you're reading this blog, you'll be able to view ALL the photos and obtain YOUR own copy from the Photo Center starting December 29th. See Maisha and Criselda if you have any more ???'s.

... Or better yet, scroll down to the bottom right of this screen and "Subscribe" to my blog... When I update it, you'll get a notice and we're all gravy!

Just a thought ;)

Have a great weekend!!!

Tiffany and Stephen

I had the wonderful opportunity to shoot Tiffany and Stephen's wedding this weekend in Seattle.






It was a small and intimate ordeal, but they both made it a BLAST to shoot. Just watching them interact with each other, I can already tell their relationship will last a lifetime! Their families are amazing as well -- SO LOVING!!! I have to say, I've shot multiple weddings and this one was, by far, the calmest one I've experienced. It made it THAT MUCH easier to capture :)

Michelle and Stephanie

I had the wonderful opportunity to shoot a couple of fun sisters this last weekend. MICHELLE came up and told me that she and her sister wanted to give their parents something special for Christmas. She and STEPHANIE wanted unconventional, fashion-type holiday portraits and I didn't hesitate to jump on the ball. Once you see the images, you'll see why.

We went to COULON PARK and utilized the trees, water, docks, bridges, swings, rocks, traintracks... pretty much everything that place has to offer... If you've been there, you know what I'm talking about.

Michelle and Stephanie -- Thank you for allowing me to shoot your holiday portraits. I'm certain your folks will LOVE THEM!! YOU TWO make ME look good :)

Also, thanks to MOSES for second-shooting with us... He's always there when I need him.
