The South Sound Wedding Show

First, I want to say a special thank you to all the brides- and grooms-to-be who stopped by my booth at the South Sound Wedding Show this last weekend, which was held at the Greater Tacoma Convention and Trade Center. It was very nice to meet you and to talk with you all about your weddings. We would be honored to help you document your day in any way that we can.

I also want to thank Paula Lowe and the team at the South Sound Wedding and Event Magazine for putting together a great show. The facility was great and all the booths were incredible. And thank you also for having me be the official fashion show photographer. It was a lot of fun–the models were fabulous and the gowns, hairstyles, and makeup were incredible.

I put toghether this short video with some of the pictures that I shot. I hope that you enjoy. And see you at the next show!!

God’s blessings,

Chris.

Ashley and Jason

I am presenting a segment of Ashley and Jason's wedding video, which we shot last month. Their wedding occurred at the Windmill Gardens in Sumner, in a beautiful Thursday evening ceremony. This particular segment is the opening of their "ceremony only" video. We liked it enough that we thought we share it with you.

Ashley and Jason both serve our country in the United States Navy. And for that we thank you. And we would also like to thank you for choosing us to help you remember your day. It was an honor.

For more information regarding the Windmill Gardens, please give them a call at (253) 863-5853. For more information on McKenna Video/MVS Weddings, please visit one of our websites.
