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.

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!
