Our trip to Washington was primarily to attend and celebrate the wedding of Brenda (Mel's cousin!) to Sean. We weren't the photographers (some family members prefer to see our mugs sans-camera at their celebration), but we couldn't help but take a few photos.

We had a great time partying with the beautiful and talented Lisa (of JL Photografia). She's the groom's sister, so the couple is surrounded by shutterbugs. Fortunately, their official photographer was very patient... and he needed to be. There were five wedding photographers in the room!

Aforementioned official photographer was Ryan Flynn. If you need a photographer in the Seattle area (or anywhere else, really), you should check him out. His images are incredible, and it was really neat to watch him work. We definitely hope to spend some time with him again.

Here are a few of our snaps...

The Mrs. and I were in Washington for a family wedding, and spent time in Seattle for our first year anniversary! So we've been neglecting the blog for a bit and there's a lot piling up. I'll keep it chronological, and we'll start small. We spent the fourth at Mel's sister's house, celebrating her mom's birthday (which happens to be on July 4th). We only took a handful of photos, but these two jumped out at me.

More from our trip soon!

We spent the weekend taking family photos for Mel's God-Parents and their children & grandchildren. I have to say, this is a family that makes just-plain-good-looking children! We had a blast snapping pictures of all the lil'uns...

Here are a few of our favorites. Thanks Merv and Michelle for letting us document your time together!
