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)
It’s rare that real life turns into a musical, with hundreds of people breaking into song at once. It’s rare, but it happened at Kiana Lodge in Poulsbo, WA for Nanda and Joel’s epic wedding on September 17, 2011. Enjoy!
Colleen & Jose’s wedding on Whidbey Island on 9-10-11 was breathtaking and beautiful. They were relaxed and amazingly affectionate. The photo highlights gallery link is here.
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!
This couple wanted a re-creation of photo of their ancestors who were married on the same day, 100 years before. I literally composed the shot from the reference photo on an iPhone, and we had about 4 minutes to do the whole thing, including lights. It’s not perfect, but it’s a ton of fun!
You’ll notice that the bottom of the re-created photo includes portions of the original (the floor, his legs, her dress, the legs of the chair). There are background textures from the original in the upper portion as well. The typefaces are from the amazing misprintedtype.com. Other than that, the result came from a ton of layers, transfer mode adjustments, curves/levels tweaks, b&w channel mixing, layer masks and use of the clone stamp tool.
Sophia and Matt had a wonderful tea ceremony followed by a traditional Catholic ceremony. Both were touching events that make me wish that all weddings had more than one ceremony. Congratulations, Sophia and Matt!!!

Thanks for a great party, everyone! It was a blast!
As someone who grew up in the Pacific Northwest, loves the outdoors, and especially loves skiing, it was a rare treat to take stills and video at Xiaolan and Jifeng’s wedding at Crystal Mountain ski resort, in the shadow of Mount Rainier.
They are a remarkably loving and friendly couple. The wedding was gorgeous and the guests were a wonderful group to work with.
Dawnet Davis from A Piece of Cake Events was a pleasure to work with, as were the Crystal Mountain staff. Also shooting with us was the talented James Fu from Fortunate Photography who came to take additional photos.
We loved this wedding at the Bear Creek Country Club in Woodinville, WA. They were an awesome couple to work with from the very start and we’re happy to see them married!
We love dance photography. Here’s the latest session! Full gallery of photos available here.
