Some images from Scott and Candy’s e-sesh up at Council Crest in Portland.  They’ll be having a rocking wedding later this summer out on the beautiful Oregon Coast!

This is Dave and his beautiful newly wed wife, Elisha. Dave and I played in a band together in college so you can imagine how much I enjoyed shooting him at their wedding. You can look forward to more images from their sweet wedding soon. But for now…

I’m glued to the computer this week to clear my desk. We have a sweet July lined up with a few choice weddings in the Seattle area, dropping in on two different family vacations including the San Juan Islands and the Oregon Coast and to top it off, we’re having our First Annual Company Family Summer Picnic!! Haven’t figured out if we’re going wheel barrow races or potato sack hopping but either way it’ll be a great time for our families to hang out and talk some gabriel boone world domination 2009. We’ve still got a lot of images waiting to hit the blog and some little announcements that we look forward to updating everyone on. But for now, it’s work-city so I can go enjoy time with the family and take in the Pacific Northwest which we love love love.

A year ago this past week my grandmother passed away. I don’t have the words to describe her or what she’s meant to our family. I did however tear up hearing my father talk about his mother and the last interaction that he was able to have with her shortly before she passed.

I’m very happy to have had her in my life and that she was able to meet my son Baron. I can remember one of the last things she said to me as she checked in over the phone to see how our family was doing. At that time it was very hard to make out her words but I clearly heard her say, “Pictures keep people close to your heart, Gabey.” I scrambled to write those words down and have them written in pencil on a post-it note next to the monitor in my office.

Another tease. This time of the Album layout for Brian and Lisa. This isn’t the final album but will give you insight into how awesome their wedding day was out at Fall City Farms.

Another busy week and I’ve got a backlog of images to post. But for now I leave you with a preview of my Fall City Farms wedding with Brian and Lisa. I’m anxious to post their images but first I’m going to take the Fourth of July off and eat some homemade pie with my family. Enjoy the holiday weekend. Be safe and check back early next week for images and an update.

I am very honored to be able to introduce this next wedding couple to you. My relationship with Sherry is incredibly special to me and I could not be happier that she and Edward have found each other.

While Gabe and I were living in L.A. I had the immense pleasure of working under Sherry Yard (the pastry chef for all of Wolfgang Puck’s empire). Working at Spago with Sherry was the hardest thing I have ever done and one of the most rewarding at the same time. I had no idea what I was getting myself into but was quickly smacked with reality as I endured countless burns, long hours and the incredibly high standards that Sherry strives for and produces each and every day.

Sherry has spent her entire life working tirelessly to be where she is today, which is why I am happy beyond words that she has found the love of her life in the midst of her intense schedule. She is the most driven, creative, insightful, smart and fun person I have ever met and I am a much better person because I was able to learn from her and can call her a friend.

Nothing makes me happier to know that Sherry has found the cherry to her sundae, the apple of her eye, and the sugar to her spice. What made this story even sweeter is when Sherry called my cell phone to tell me that she found the love of her life at the dentist office! Edward just happens to be her dentist. Sherry and Edward had a beautiful wedding in Malibu, California at the home of Fred Hayman. See the images below or view the gabriel boone coffee table album for more images from their wedding day.

Sherry really had an AMAZING team of friends that rock at what they do and helped out from start to finish. (We included some names and links at the end of the post.)
