Andtego Financial Group
This is the second round of shots for the Andtego Financial Group. We selected their offices as the indoor locations for these. It was a mix of Cletus Coffey and all together with his team. Strangely, the two flash strobe lights kept going off on their own. We found that the static electricity in the room and carpet caused the strobe to go off on their own. That explains why when I shook their hands upon arrival that they shocked me with static electricity. This did not effect the photo shoot negatively but only proved as a nuisance and odd conversation piece.

Brett & Melissa | September 1, 2007
A trailer to the wedding story of Brett Johanson & Melissa Villalobos who were married on September 1st, 2007 at Holy Family Parish in West Seattle with reception at the Seattle Tennis Club. The portraits were taken at Volunteer Park on Capitol Hill.
I met Melissa Villalobos, the bride, through Pablo who is the son-in-law of Kathy Overman. I used to rent a room Kathy and Pablo was an musician at this wedding.
We started the day at Melissa's house where she and her mother were getting ready. It was a beautiful day in West Seattle and the family seemed to have everything under control. At the guys house next, they were watching football and trying to figure out how to get the tuxes looking sharp. I remember one of the jackets not fitting correctly which brought on lots of laughter.
The wedding was traditional mass in this very large church that was gorgeous. It was so FUNNY when I was in the side room off stage left and they two alter kids asked me to light their candles so they could continue the ceremony ritual. Here I was loaded with camera and sound equipment and they wanted me to stop recording and light the candles. Good thing I had a second videographer (my wife Laura Cooper) up in the balcony who could cover for me. I lit their candles and they walked off onto stage like it was no big deal. I asked them afterwards what they would have done if I was not there or would not have lit their candles, and they said they did not know. I'm sure the wedding ceremony would have found a way to continue.
At the reception, the montage video was shown that we created. It was a hit among the family with evidence of the laughter, cheering and ahhhs. That is always such a blessing and reward to receive direct genuine feedback from an audience.
All the best to Melissa and Brett!!!
