After 10 years as a full-time photographer, I get asked a lot of questions about what was my favorite wedding, what makes the work memorable, what I don't like about weddings, and what I LOVE about weddings. Well, I want to share all of that with you, and more. Because as a Seattle wedding photographer who loves to travel, who loves educating other wedding pros, and who loves love... I want to share my experiences with you (and one of my favorite sessions to date.)

I was headed back to Las Vegas from Palm Springs after spending a week in Southern California.  The trip was meant to give me a respite from the long and cold winter in Fargo.  It was a drive I had made a handful of times over the years so I wasn't expecting to unearth any new photographic inspiration, but when I saw the sign for the Joshua Tree exit, I couldn't resist. It was one place in the area I had never been.  How could I pass up to opportunity to shoot an iconic National Park when it was only 30 miles away?  As an artist, I am always looking for new inspiration and this was right up my alley!  Little did I know, that that short distance would quickly turn my side trip into an entire afternoon/evening excursion.
