I’ve been working with Potala Place, a new development in Everett, WA, for over 8 months. First event photography at their Topping Off Ceremony, then again for a Farmers Roundtable Discussion about being involved in the Market at Potala Place, and again recently for a community open house which doubled as a fundraiser for Housing…

Seattle Event Video: Macho Libre at Snoqualmie Casino
How close can I get? That’s the only question I needed to answer. I got the call from Snoqualmie Casino to create a video for an event they were holding on Cinco de Mayo featuring Lucha Libre wrestlers – Macho Libre. A ring, a ref, guys in masks leaping from top ropes – I wanted…

Seattle Corporate Video: Washington Cigar and Spirits Festival
Along with still photography of the event, we also worked with the Snoqualmie Casino to produce an event recap sizzle film of the 2014 Washington Cigar and Spirits Festival. All footage was shot on a Panasonic AC-90, with audio captured using a Sennheiser EW112P wireless lav and Rode NTG-2 shotgun mic. Light was either ambient…

Seattle Event Photography: Washington Cigar and Spirits Festival 2014
It just keeps getting better. The Washington Cigar and Spirits Festival is exactly what guests of the event hope it will be.

Seattle Corporate Event Photography: PAX Prime 2014 – The Next Level
If anyone ever tries to tell you that video games are ‘just a kids thing’ or ‘not important’ or tries to play them off in any way, just smile, nod, and run away. Quickly. They obviously haven’t been to PAX. It’s tough to call it an expo. Convention doesn’t really even do it justice. Really,…

Event Photography: Bowling in Spokane with Bartenders and Sailor Jerry
About 15 years ago, bowling saw a huge rebirth. The Big Lebowski had just come out, there were 24 hour bowling alleys… and then things started to decline. Real estate developers realized the land under these bowling alleys was worth much more than the pines and lanes that sat on them, and long-standing bowling alleys…

iOS 8 Quick Tip: Getting Rid of Predictive Text!
With the launch of new versions of software come change. Sometimes the change is good, sometimes bad, and sometimes it just gets in your way. Along with the launch of iOS 8 today, the new operating system for iPhones and iPads, there’s a new feature that I could see some people really liking, but for…

Seattle Event Photography: Hendrick’s Gin Curling
Sometimes an event shoot is working the inside of a blank room with 50 people in the same clothes looking at Powerpoint, and sometimes an event shoot is people sliding around on ice. Yesterday’s shoot for Hendrick’s Gin was the later! Hendrick’s Gin National Ambassador, Mark Stoddard, is in Seattle this week talking to gin-lovers…

Seattle Event Photography: Balvenie Rare Craft
Every once in a while I have the pleasure of shooting an event that is not only fun, and (what I think is) a well produced event, but also very challenging to shoot. Last night’s shoot for The Balvenie Single Malt Scotch Whisky at Georgetown Ballroom was one of those events! The Balvenie is only…
