Over the past couple of weeks I’ve been waking up to the sound of the fog horns echoing in the distance and a serious chill in the air. Summer in the Northwest is no doubt a magical season but for all the wedding folks, Autumn heralds the end of our wedding season and for a few short weeks, a well deserved rest. Since our last wedding a week ago, I have been cleaning up the studio, meeting with 2014 clients, planning for upcoming commercial shoots, bugging all my photographer friends for wedding images, and catching up with the friends I barely saw in the craziness of the last few months. On Monday, photographer Stephanie Cristalli and I took off for the country to visit my very first pumpkin patch (at age 31 no less) to pick out some heirloom pumpkins and make some pretty pictures.
