Jennifer and Victor invited us to our first wedding at the Blue Ribbon Cooking School. The ceremony was at St. Therese Catholic Church, and was a small, intimate affair. We were lucky enough to have extra time to travel to some of our favorite photo spots in Pioneer Square for some pre-wedding portraits. Paul and the couple even managed to run into Brooke and her couple in downtown. (small world!) Thanks to the bride and groom for being so gracious and allowing us to have such a wonderful time!
It was such fun getting to know Sarah + Quang for their wedding. Quang's sister married an old friend of Paul's - so it was a real treat getting to be a part of this group. The party started at a HUGE rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding. This was the largest rehearsal dinner group we've ever seen (and we've seen a few!). Held at the House of Hong, the gathering included 10 courses of delicious traditional Chinese items, karaoke by the guests, and tons and tons of toasts! The wedding the next day began at the groom's parents house for the Chinese Tea Ceremony, and then it was onto the Bellevue Hotel Club for a lavish reception. Highlights included when the rain stopped (finally!!!), the father-of-the-brides' tear-inducing toast, jumping the flame, and dancing into the night. Thanks so much guys for letting us be a part of your wonderful memories!
We were recently invited to the gorgeous wedding of Sarah and Robert. Held on the beach at Zuma Beach in Malibu, - could it get any better? The outdoor ceremony was followed by a reception at the Sunset Restaurant. It was also our first time working with coordinator Michelle Tortuya from Charming Events, which was a pleasure.
Lyndsey and Tristan held their wedding at the Century Ballroom, an old-style ballroom in a historic building with beautiful wood floors!
Another wonderful Bay Area wedding, we just finished working on Vanessa & Terry's images from their traditional Chinese ceremony. This day was HOT! and there was a long trek from the hotel to the ceremony site...but everyone managed to keep it cool by hanging out near the pool deck. (And the family's puppies wore slippers to keep their paws safe! :) Everything happened at the Claremont Resort & Spa , simply lovely.
We were invited to the lovely wedding of Kara and Jeff, right in the heart of gorgeous San Francisco. Short but sweet, this wedding was mostly a bridal portrait session for us, but we had such fun strolling about the 4 block radius of the venue. A fantastic hide-&-seek site, the wedding took place at Le Colonial Restaurant - a gem you really have to look for to find...but totally worth it once you do!
Photographed by Caroline. A friend from Paul's days in the Marine Corps, Josh and Veronica's wedding was at the St. Ignatius Chapel at Seattle U. The reception was at the Knights of Columbus in Seattle. A wonderful easy-going couple, we wish them much happiness. Thanks so much for including us in all of the festivities.

Photographed by Alyssa. Kelly and Steve were married at The Farm, at Sunday Lake. They are both volunteer firefighters, so at the wedding the local fire dept provided the awesome transportation.
Leah and Greg were married at the busy Alki Beach Bath House. The reception was at the West Seattle Golf Course. A really fun couple, we had a wonderful time.
