An in-depth look at why Seattle wedding photographer Jonas Seaman is so insanely awesome

Jonas Seaman has a style that’s all his own, and I’m pretty stoked because he recently put out a roundup of his favorite photos from 2011 and it’s AMAZING. Before I link you to it, I want to show off some of my top 10 favorite wedding photos from Jonas AND give you a little more insider information on one of the Empire’s favorite photogs.

Katy & Aaron’s forest handfasting and dance party wedding

When an intimate forest ceremony becomes a Renaissance-inspired dance party reception, it’s been a good day. The bride handmade books as favors, had tiny terrariums as centerpieces, and they served pumpkin pie, too. So far so good. But the addition of a cardboard deer head is the icing on the cake.

Kyle & Drew’s waterfront brunch and nighttime bar wedding

These guys love to talk, love cooking, and love to get their drank on. So they planned a waterfront brunch with finger-licking foods and a nighttime party at a favorite bar. Their centerpieces bring a little booze into the mix too! These two are my kind of guys.

Layne & Daniel’s multi-traditional arboreal wedding

Celebrating the many traditions that bind couples together, this nature-loving couple wed under the trees and partied under a shower of sparklers. They also rocked a bio-Benz and brought all their guests together for a giant circle dance to “Rainbow Connection.”
