2012: A year in photography
Garrett’s favorite photos from 2012, taken by either Garrett or Jill Gibbons for Aderyn Productions.
A Chinese, Indian and Western wedding in Seattle
Joyce and Arif’s wedding reflected a beautiful multicultural background including Chinese, Indian and Western elements. Joyce wore no fewer than thee beautiful wedding dresses (a white Western gown, a red sari and a Xi Pao), and their first dance broke into a choreographed Bhangra routine featuring the other members of the wedding party.
The wedding vendor team worked amazingly well together. Liana Woo at Modern Seattle Weddings handled the event without creating stress for the rest of us. Siang and his assistant photographer from Lightphoria took gorgeous photos and was a pleasure to work with as always. Marc from Integral DJs was professional, friendly and amazingly good at his craft. The staff members at the beautiful Semiahmoo Resort were relaxed and helpful throughout the day.
Engagement Photos and video in Florida
Garrett filmed this wedding announcement video last week for Carlos and Techy in Miami, FL and Naples, FL. Their wedding is in Lima, Peru in September and we’re excited to be the photographers and videographers at their gala event. ¡Felicitaciones Carlos y Techy! Son una pareja sumamente cariñosa.
(I must add that Spanish love songs are much more romantic than anything I hear in English!)

“Overcome” by Alabaster (Official Music Video)
Garrett directed and Jill produced this music video for the Seattle-based band Alabaster. We don’t often get to see punk rock, ballet and krump dance in the same project, but the critical reviews have been overwhelmingly positive. Check it out!
Here’s a link to the video on YouTube.
“Santa Claus is Coming to Town” by Justin Bieber
Garrett edited this music video in southern California in October during 3 sleepless days to get it delivered to Sony Pictures in time. You can view it in true 3D right now if you go see it play in theaters before Arthur Christmas. Even if you’re not a Bieber fan, check out the excellent urban dancing from many members of The LXD!
Jekyll & Hyde: The Music Video
Happy Halloween!!! Garrett directed this music video for Theoretics that premiered last night during an amazing show at The Triple Door in downtown Seattle. Jill and Garrett co-produced it and the band of course wrote the music!
Jill also took production photos throughout the five days of shooting. Check out the cast photos here: (designs by Helene Hawthorne and Lastwear)
The LXD Season 3 Finale
When Garrett isn’t working on portraits and weddings, he’s usually working on some film project in some remote place of the world. In May and June he was creatively involved in The Legion of Extraordinary Dancers (The LXD), assisting director Charles Oliver on four of the ten episodes in season 3.
Along with storyboarding, assisting the director and working with dancers, Garrett edited the season 3 finale, “Rise of the Drifts,” which was finally released today. Enjoy it!
Anna & Travis
This beautiful couple had us in tears by the end of their ceremony. The scenic wedding at the Mount Hood Bed & Breakfast in Parkdale, Oregon was breathtaking.
Happy Mother’s Day!
We interviewed the kids at our church about their parents as part of a Mother’s Day surprise and put some highlights in this short piece.
Thank you, mothers!
The secret is out!
Okay, the secret’s out. We don’t only do weddings and portraits! Weddings mostly happen during the sunny season, so the other half of the year tends to be filled with music videos, documentary films, and raising our two wonderful boys.
When she’s not taking photos, Jill is a stay-at-home mom, taking care of our two awesome little boys (they’re 2 3/4 and 9 months old). She wouldn’t be happier doing anything else as her primary focus right now.
Garrett works in film, and has a secret passion for music and dance. Consequently, he’s often working with bands, hip-hop artists and dancers to make critically-acclaimed music videos in Seattle and the world.
Here’s Garrett’s latest music video (he directed, produced, filmed and edited it), for the excellent live-band hip-hop group called Theoretics. The video and the album got a great review in Seattle Weekly a few days ago, and more projects with the group are already in the works. Enjoy it!
