Rebecca Ellison Photography bio picture
  • it’s the little things…

    I'm a bit goofy and always ready to have a good time - I love making clients laugh...it just so happens it's usually at me and some random thing I am doing to get "the shot" - If it's nice outside, I guarantee I will be found sitting in a patch of sunlight soaking in the rays - I tend to miss speak right when I am trying to be sassy, ... so I just end up sounding silly - I love all the noises a new baby makes be it cute or gross - My socks never match and I am proud of it - I avoid cleaning the bathroom like it's the plague. It comes from growing up with two brothers and always being on bathroom duty - I found out the hard way that garlic does NOT compliment everything... and now my husband doesn't let me in the kitchen unsupervised - I still get giddy and jittery before every wedding I photograph - I once thought the biggest gift of being self employed was making my own hours, now I know it's the luxury it gives me to raise my son (born April 2011) without the need of daycare - I love riding my bike, but don't have the constitution to make myself work out regularly - I believe that following your dream is not the easiest path but is definitely the most rewarding one. My dreams since I was 18 was to find the man of my dreams (check), raise a family (check) and create images for a living (check) - oh... and if you want to make me laugh, tell me a poop joke. Works EVERY time.

Wedding | Seatac Botanical Gardens| Justine + Mikael

wedding couple at Alki Beach

Justine and Mikael are a couple that love to laugh. You might remember them from their Ballard Locks engagement session from this spring where they laughed and joked through that entire shoot too!

They got married a couple weekends ago on one of our lovely 90 degree days down in Seatac. The weekend before was 60 and raining, so I think everyone was a bit shocked by the heat wave, but these two ran with it and had a couple of ice packs on hand to cool down during portraits.

They chose the beautiful Seatac Botanical Gardens to have their wedding, which was a new venue for me. It was blooming and beautiful and provided a great background for pictures and for their ceremony. I loved how the day was infused with their personality, from putting on sunglasses and dancing back down the aisle after the ceremony, to dancing into their reception to the tunes of “Praise You” by Fat Boy Slim at the Alki Masonic Lodge.

Justine and Mikael are so much fun to be around, and you can tell they will be laughing into the years together:)

Congrats you two!

And, I loved that they forgot the garter, so they improvised with A LOT of tool…. I don’t think those single boys knew what to do with that flying in the air to them…
