I had the opportunity to shoot wingman at Kristan and Brian’s wedding last weekend (8/1) for Kip.  It’s my first wedding and the first time really getting to hang out with Kip.  I quickly learned he’s quite the jockster.  I was driving to the groom’s (Brian) place to photograph him getting ready for the wedding when I received a text message from Kip.  It read.. “Can you cover this?  It’s kinda awkward, but I’m feeling sick.”

I had a mild panic attack, but responded with, “Let me know what I needed to do.”  Only to have him reply he really had a tee time at 4:55pm.  Then I knew he got one on me.  But it made me laugh and took off the edge.

I met Brian and he’s a real laid back cat.  But I quickly learned, he’s attached to his Blackberry as I am with my iPhone (I have photo proof of this below).  I didn’t meet Kristan until the first look, but she’s a ball of emotion and expresses it all.  Their ceremony was held at the butterfly house at Pacific Science Center (Seattle) and the reception followed in the adjoining room.

I learned a lot from working under Kip and he’s a great guy.  Very candid and a great teacher.

The wedding day was beautiful and I wish Kristan and Brian the best because they are both absolutely awesome!  More photos can be viewed in the gallery.
