Jennifer and Nick in Olympia

Jennifer and Nick have a big-time playful streak that made their portrait session a blast, so much so that we're dedicating this entire blog post to their portraits! We particulary like the shot above of Nick and his groomsmen who, after having tried a couple of shots with their fake moustaches, progressed instead to the novel idea of fake unibrows. Nice look, gentlemen!

This shot is unique not only because of the stick-on fuzz, but because we applied a cross-processing effect to shift the colors and contrast of the photo from their natural shades to something decidedly otherworldly. Historically, cross-processing was a film processing error (later refined to a technique) in which print film was processed accidentally in chemicals designed for slide film. In today's digital world, we use a series of Photoshop adjustments to mimic this cool effect. If you compare the wedding party photo below to the groomsmen shot above, you'll see what a difference the processing made. Both of these shots were taken at Grand Holiday Ballroom, their ceremony and reception venue.

Jennifer and Nick's wedding in Olympia was on yet another rumored-to-rain-but-surprisingly-dry day, so we took advantage of the great weather and headed to the Capitol grounds and then to the Japanese Garden for portraits of the two of them.

We were excited to finally "share" a wedding with Colleen from Lynch Creek Floral, who we've known for several years from the Occasions Catering Bridal Teas. Colleen did a great job with their floral arrangements, and because Nick and Jennifer have a family connection in the floral industry, it seemed like there were gorgeous flowers everywhere we looked!

Jenn and Nick, our congrats to you, and thanks for being so much fun to work with! We're really looking forward to sharing the rest of the photos with you soon!
