SEAHAWKS EMBASSY SUITES SPLASHDOWN SCULPTURE

September 7, 2019 · Leave a Comment

I love to collaborate with other vendors and be a team player! This project was exciting to take on and I loved every minute of the process. Unified Cinematic Wedding Videography hired me to capture the photography for this event which we later edited and collaborated on the final edits to match a cohesive look for the project.

American Life Inc., Sodo Builders, and Greg Steinhauer (Construction Company) commissioned the sculpture, “SPLASHDOWN”. The task of creating the concept and actual sculpture was given to none other than Chester Fields. A professional sculptor for 34 years, Fields specializes in eagle statues that are staggering in size. During the time I photographed the installation of the amazing detailed piece, I got to know the artist, his vision, and all the stories and love he puts into his artwork. It was quite remarkable. I even asked for a selfie to remember him by.

The installation project started at 6 a.m. in front of the new Embassy Suites Building. The plan was to weld SPLASHDOWN before the afternoon. You could tell that a lot of sweat, blood, and tears went into “SPLASHDOWN” and therefore there were many moving parts throughout the morning to get the statue properly installed without damage. The best part was everyone was careful, communicative, and precise with their work. It was interesting to capture the welding and entire process. I hope to do more fun projects like this one, thanks for having me.

Cheers to Steve as he turned 50 at the Kirkland Arts Center. The drinks were flowing, the games were being played, along with a photo booth to add to the celebrations. This was a fun event to photograph, as artwork was displayed on all of the walls of the venue! The planner, Mardee’s Design and Consulting, LLC was amazing at organizing and making sure the room was cleaned. You can find her information via this link: http://www.mardees.com/http://www.mardees.com/. The food was artfully vegan and catered by Plumb Bistro, http://plumbistro.com/http://plumbistro.com/. The Birthday boy ended the night with lighting a few cigars for his old buddies to celebrate the reunion of long time friends never forgotten.

RUSS & ANASTASIA | RATTLESNAKE RIDGE ENGAGEMENT

September 27, 2016 · Leave a Comment

Meet Russ and Anastasia. My dear friends from my college years!

Their story started at the University of Michigan grad student mixer. Anastasia was dancing with a guy, who she felt was a bit pushy. After a few dances, she retreated back to the medical students on the couch and ended up sitting next to Russ. They talked for hours on that couch about their shared (and sheepish) love of the band Tool and her accidental run-in with the seedier side of Athenian nightlife. He ended up walking Anastasia back home and introduced her to the secrets of the undergrad campus, especially the 24/7 library that can be used for critically important bathroom breaks on the way home from the bars. Over the course of summer grilling and several long road trips their friendship grew into love. Russ’s patience and generosity astounded Anastasia, and his optimism and sincerity reflected the Midwestern attitude she come to love since moving from the East Coast; “I knew he was the one for me.”
