I am so excited to share these with you guys. I freaking love this couple. We met at UW in Seattle and just hang out and had a great time. I am even more excited about their wedding images…but, all in good time.

Just one shot, but I really like this one when I pulled it, and I haven’t put up any Polaroid in a while.

Trevor + Emma | Tacoma Engagement | 100% Film

Joshua Mahar — Thu, 04 Aug 2011 15:11:42 +0000

This last Saturday Trevor and Emma got married. I have been sitting on this post for a while now, waiting for the “right” time because of how much a freaking love it. FREAKING LOVE IT. I shot the whole thing in film, which right there was a huge plus. Also, these two were so fun to work with. Like all my shoots I suggest two outfits, one nicer and one more casual. They rolled in with these outfits on and I was like…um YEAH! These guys made it look good, and they rocked it. In keeping with these shots, I did 98% of their wedding in film and I can’t wait to show you what I got once it comes back from the lab.

Here I am rambling. Please enjoy the engagement goodness!

Cameras: MRZ67 and Nikon F5. Film: Portra 160

[PS: we found the wall with "This is Love" on it while we were walking down the street. Totally 100% coincidence. And I was ecstatic.]

Jake + Emily | Tacoma Engagement | Film

Another favorite so for this year! Jake and Emily are a fantastic, down-to-earth couple. On the shoot, I called Emily and the music playing while waiting to connect was Iron + Wine, which is one of my favorite bands…and who I happen to be listening to right now as I type this! A total unknown connection, and we spent a good chunk of the shoot talking about music that we really like. Super cool folks. And these guys are definitely in love. When working with people who are clearly passionate for each other, it is so refreshing.

Jake and Emily – thanks for being yourselves in front of the camera, and for being so in love!

On The Wall

It is always incredible humbling to have your work displayed in people’s homes. It is also really gratifying when the images that you think are pretty great are those that people love too. This image is from one of my couples this year and when I heard they had done a large image from the engagement shoot I asked them to send this along. Matt and Kelly, thanks for choosing me!
