Hey! Thanks for stopping by!  *hi-fives all around* 

My name is Patrick.  My wife and I have been married for six years.  We
love car camping all over the Cascades and the Olympics, as well as more
serious international adventures. Ask me about the trip where we hiked through
the Slovenian, Austrian, German, back into the Austrian, and then the Italian
Alps.  Or, the time I played bumper cars on a hairpin corner with a man in
the Albanian mafia and got chased across the border into Macedonia!  Anne still hasn't
forgiven me for that one.

That said, you should probably know that I like to have fun, I work hard and
I'm willing to take risks.  I believe that being a wedding photographer is
not for the faint of heart.  During my days as a freelance travel photographer/writer,
I learned that the best images don't just happen because you've bought a plane
ticket.  In over 30 countries, I found that the most compelling images
come from getting inside the life of a person or falling in love with a place.  My most cherished picture
of you is likely to come after we've had a beer, and your cousin has shared a
funny story about when you were little.

Thank you for looking, and don't be afraid to leave a comment.

Sip for SIFF – Pravda Studio Seattle, WA

The Seattle International Film Festival threw the most amazing fund raiser at Pravda Studios.  It had a Caribbean/Pirate theme.  The organizers loved the photos that I took at the Francis Ford Coppola event last year, so they asked me to come back.

Pictures from the final day of the Zac Posen/Neiman Marcus fashion show at Pravda Studio in Seattle.  It is still amazing to me how much work goes into putting on a 15 minute fasion show.

Behind the scenes @ Zac Posen/Neiman Marcus Fashion Show – Pravda Studio- Day 1

The mission: Shoot a fashion show like a wedding at Pravda Studio in Seattle.

Let the sexy-time commence… Boom!  I’m really excited about these pictures and the project that has consumed the last two days of my life.  I shot still images, and also did some time-lapse video- you know, the movies where clouds move accross the sky really fast or a flower grows up in one minute.  Anyway, the final product is going to equal the square root of awesome!

A little youtube video about Zac Posen can be seen here.

Below- My favorite image of the day, if not the entire show.  It shows how hard the work is, but also the beauty.  The guy putting the model’s shoe on probably worked two 15-hour days!

Jenny - Hey! I was one of the models in that show and I just wanted to say what a lovely job you did shooting the backstage area. On an added note, mine are the shoes with the rings inside of them...my parents first wedding rings. Thought that fit in accidentally well with your theme.June 22, 2009 - 8:21 pm

Seattle International Film Festival’s (SIFF) Francis Ford Coppola Reception

Oh man, this was a good one!  First, take the largest film festival in the United States, the Seattle International Film Festival.  Add the 5-time Oscar winning producer Francis Ford Coppola.  Put them together in Seattle’s best private party location, Pravda Studio.  Add Seattle’s finest celebrity chef, Thierry Rautureau from Rover’s.  Also in attendance was Tacoma’s own, Dale Chihuly, the world’s greatest glass artist, whose art is currently in museums around the world.  It all came together at Pravda in the best way that it possibly could!

Wine and Say Cheese Party – Pravda Studio

I don’t usually shoot events, but when Pravda Studio says that they want me to shoot one of their new party concepts, you bet I will!  Their words were that they really liked the pictures that I did of a wedding there awhile back, on the Photo Elan team, and they wanted me back.

_dsc6330

Now this isn’t just your average Seattle corporate event.  In fact, if you have ask how much it costs, it probably isn’t for you (around $15,000)!  What you get is over 5000 sq/ft of Seattle’s hottest loft-style studio, 2 hair stylists, 2 make-up artists, 2 studio photographers, 4 photographers assistants and an entire team of photo retouchers and printers.  Everyone that comes to party will get a make over, have their pictures taken, and leave at the end of the night with a beautifully retouched professional portrait of themselves.  Plus you get to drink wine, eat trendy hors d’oeuvres and mingle with everyone while the whole process is happening.
