Alyssa & Brandon

It was a great priveledge for us to be asked to photograph Alyssa & Brandon on their wedding day. They were married just after Thanksgiving at Gloria Dei Lutheran Church in Tacoma. It was a beautiful and blessed ceremony followed by a great reception.

We want to thank Alyssa and Brandon for the honor and wish them all our best for many happy years together. (BTW-your daughter is adorable!)

Christ's blessing,

Chris & Lynette.

Warmest Christmas Wishes

From our family to yours, McKenna Video Services / MVS Wedding Productions / Chris McKenna Photography wish you all a very Merry (and safe) Christmas Blessing.

Baby C

This is my daughter, Caitrin. She loves to be photographed when she is not too busy doing things that young ladies like to do. She is such a cute girl, if I say so myself (taking after her mother). These photographs were taken over the course of a few weeks for her annual photo portfolio (who says that you have to wait for senior pictures?) and being the proud papa I want to share them with you. Enjoy!

Merry Christmas,

Chris.

Kevin says "I Do" to Sinead

Sinead and Kevin were married at St. Anthony's Catholic Church on October 18, 2008. This was my first "desination wedding" and I was very happy to take a part in documenting their day. Kevin and Sinead are a great couple and I know that they will be very happy together.

I wish them all my best for many happy year together.

God's riches and blessings,

Chris.

Gingerbread House Photographs

Every year, McKenna Video Services builds a gingerbread house and donates it to Willow Gardens Retirement Community here in Puyallup (actually Lynette builds it and I lend morale support). This is a great community service project for us and our family and the residents of Willow Garden love it!

This year we went all out. In fact, the Puyallup Herald got hold of us and interviewed Lynette for a newspaper article (that issue will be published in the December 11 issue of the Herald) and asked me to provide some photographs of the building and assembly process. Some of the photographs that I provided to the Herald appear below.

Enjoy the photographs and Merry Christmas.

God’s peace,

Chris.
