I’m going to preface this post by saying that I’m shooting weddings for three friends this upcoming year as a free gesture, and I’d love to get some more intense, day-of practice under my belt. So if there’s anyone in the Seattle area, and potentially Vancouver, BC, that is interested in having Mrs. Milkshake follow you around pro-bono, photojournalist-style for your big day in the next few months, please let me know by making a comment here in the classifieds section. These are some photos I took purely as a guest at the end of December at my cousin’s Hawaiian wedding.
I flew to Hawaii for one night to go to my cousin’s wedding, by myself, because I couldn’t get any more time off work and my husband couldn’t get time off, period.
Before you go shaking your fingers at me, yes, he does live in Honolulu, and we’re both only children so he’s the closest thing I have to a brother. I couldn’t miss it.
Textures thanks to Jesh De Rox’s set, and actions from the Boutwell’s totally rad action pack.
Those are really AWESOME shots! You definitely have a talent there. What camera do you use?
You are going to make some lucky bride’s day! Those photos are stunning!
Fantabulous work! Really really great. So bummed that my wedding has passed and I’m no where close to you. 
Oh geez!!!
I live in Vancouver and am getting married in June but alas! We just booked our photographers on SUNDAY!
Mind you we got one heck of a deal but that still doesn’t beat free :(:(:(
I live in Seattle but am getting married in Tahoe. If you need to do engagement shots, though…
Wow… you are fantastic! Your cousin and his bride are also a stunning couple.
These are great pics! Your cousin looks a bit like Pete Wentz in some of those photos.
I wish I still lived in Seattle, or I’d make you follow me around. But I am hoping that a friend of mine in Sea-Town will be engaged any day now!!
PS your pics are fab!
If you’re going to be in Philly in August, let me know! 
Or any other aspiring photos with the same offer, really.
My photogs second shooter captured some of my favorite shots because she was free to wander around and have fun the whole time instead of feeling the pressure of every moment. In fact, my mom loves second shooting more than being the primary photog because she get’s to play a little bit more.
I’m sure you have been doing this, but are you following the blogs/facebook/twitter accounts of your favorite Washington/Vancouver photogs to see if they ever write about needing a second shooter for the weekend? That’s how my photog does it a lot of time.
They are a very good looking couple.
YOu should ask people to just fly you down and put you up for a couple nights. It would be way cheaper if you are doing photog for free. I would totally fly you down if I hadn’t booked already =)
Great pics!
Oh my gosh you were a StillMotion bride! I just rewatched your SDE yesterday and it’s one of my favorite ever! Your venue was just beautiful, and StillMotion did a fantastic job!
No way, Milkshake! Thats awesome! Hope you get some business, because you are talented!
i use a nikon d300…i’m about to shoot myself in the foot and get a CANON 5D mark ii……because the lenses i want are way cheaper and they have one lens that nikon doesn’t…..
Those are awesome! I wish I lived in your area! And the bride’s hair is gorgeous.

Mrs. Milkshake, Seattle/Vancouver, BC Age and Occupation: 23, Pharmacist Fiance's Age and Occupation: 25, Pharmacist Engagement Date: May 2007 Wedding Date: August 2008 Blogging Since: December 6, 2007 Venue: Victorian Mansion About Me: Despite the fact that I’ve invested many long years of my life studying the sciences in college, I’m glad to be out of there and I would never do it again! I’m super artsy at heart - I run an indie craft site, I grew up shooting and developing my own film, doing jazz and ballet, and the whole gamut of art classes. I’ve been called a Jane of all Trades… but I was also told many years ago not to make my passion my career because it’d suck the fun out of it. Hence my choice of day job. We live in Seattle but are having our wedding in Canada to be fair to all our family and friends.
