I know I say it all the time. But I LOVE MY CHURCH!I just can’t help it. It is radical.  One of my ( many) favorite things about it is the fact that at my church…..men can be MEN! I love it. I love that my husband has a place where he can holler about the Seahawks and encourage Lesnar to hit Mir. So many churches that I’ve been to before try to make men something that they are not made to be: subdued, quiet and testosterone-less. But our church is, well, different.  My pastor, Brandon Beals, just loves UFC, (and football…and a bunch of other sports) and it spills over into our church. We’ve watched clips of 300 during church, the Simpsons, viewed our own version of Indiana Jones, which included a scene of Brandon sky diving.

Last weekend, our church hosted a UFC 100event….Yes…the Ultimate Fighting Championship. Yes, the one that puts 2 guys in a fenced in cage and lets them fight it out not unlike the gladiators of Roman times. I tagged along to document the night. Here’s a few of my faves. If only I could have captured the sounds…the oooo!’s and ah!’s…..this post would be complete.   

One of the things that is so wonderful about being wedding photographer is that I get to travel. I LOVE seeing new places, meeting new people and trying new things. My husband and I just got back from a great get away in Maui. We tried Priceline and got  a great deal on the Hyatt. It was a true vacation….but of course  I had to go on a quest to find a great palm tree picture that I plan to put on a canvas for my own house!  Here are  a few contenders….

If you are thinking about a destination wedding, my passport is ready and I’m ready to head out on an adventure. I give great deals for destination weddings, since I love the experiance…and capturing images from new places. Let me know your ideas….

One of my favorite parts about Tara & Robert’s Wedding at Hidden Meadows in Snohomish, WA, was the details….tons of fun, personal and unique details…..and a person that helped organize those details was Brittany from BB JeanEvents. She is so awesome (and fun too!).  She can help with any of your wedding planning needs or wants! She is just a dream to work with! Check out her site!
