SooJin's Baby
Another baby session from a long time ago. This is Soojin's baby. We shot her wedding back in 2005, and were thrilled to get to see her again and photograph her adorable baby:

Erin and Matt, July 27th
Erin and Matt got married on a gorgeous day in late July at
Hidden Meadows in Snohomish. They planned an outdoor ceremony but, as it threatened rain in the morning, they moved the chairs inside. Then, the sun came out, and they had the chairs moved outside again. The weather turned out to be just right, just a little bit overcast to make the pictures look great :).
The guys do "reservoir dogs:"

Matt and Erin saw each other for the first time before the ceremony and had a little couple time. Erin's simple but beautiful dress was from
Cynderellies Closet.



Their very photogenic wedding party (remember to click on any picture to see it larger):

I love this picture that Bob took. The flower arrangements were done by the talented
Kathi Ward:


Their sweet ceremony:



A little private time right after the ceremony:



During the reception, the closeness of the bride and groom to their families and friends become evident. Erin's Dad gave one of the most special toasts I have ever heard-- it even made me cry.


The catering at the reception was by
Pyramid and the music by "Otto-Matic" Otto Olson.




We ran out at the end of evening to catch the sunset over the railroad tracks. It was a perfect end to a perfect day:

Congratulations, Erin and Matt!

KK and Rowan, July 26th
KK and Rowan got married at the gorgeous
Cathedral of St John the Evangelist in Spokane. It was such an amazing place-- it made me feel like I was in Europe, at a centuries old cathedral.
They decided to have their first meeting before the ceremony, in a scenic little courtyard beside the church:


Their ceremony was personal and thoughtful. I loved the intimacy of their ceremony, in such a grand place.







The reception was at the
Glover Mansion, and they had over 150 guests in attendance. The mansion had a really cool style, with the tables set up on both floors, in multiple rooms, as well as the outdoor balcony.




Here are KK and Rowan playing a game at the reception where they both answer questions such as "who cleans up more about the house?" by raising a shoe, without being able to see each other's answers. It was entertaining for bride and groom as well as their guests.



KK and Rowan are both excellent swing dancers, and their wedding had a 1920's theme. KK's gorgeous dress had a great style and their band (
6 Foot Swing) was so much fun.



Thanks so much for including us in your celebration, KK and Rowan! Congratulations!

David's Family
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away. . . (I am going to try to post some pictures from some sessions that seem to have fallen through the cracks). Here are some from a family/kids session last year:




These pictures were taken at home and in the garden, which made them super relaxed and fun. We like even the kids to have fun at our family sessions :).

Happy Anniversary, Laura and John!
Laura and John had their wedding celebration at
A Country Location, a beautiful site just outside of Seattle. It turned out to be a glorious day, just perfect for their outdoor ceremony.





Happy one-year anniversary, Laura and John! I know this past year has been great for you two.

Happy Anniversary, Leia and Will!
Leia and Will got married at
The Magnolia Hall in Arlington.
The guys enjoyed having their own place in which to get ready:

It was such a sweet and personal ceremony:


Leia's mom and grandma at the reception:

Leia and Will danced the night away:

Happy one-year anniversary, Leia and Will!

Happy Anniversary, Shirley and Derek!
Shirley and Derrick got married at the
St. Madeline Sophie Church in Bellevue.


Then we went to the
Bellevue Botanical Garden for some group pictures:


Their reception was at the gorgeous
Woodmark Hotel, where we got to do some fun couple pictures on the dock:

Happy one-year anniversary, Shirley and Derrick! I hope your first year was great!

Claudia and Rafe
We will be photographing Claudia and Rafe's wedding tomorrow at
Thornwood Castle, but a couple of weeks ago, we got to go out with them to
Volunteer Park to take some fun engagement pictures. Volunteer Park has lots of great picture opportunities right there in front of the
Seattle Asian Art Museum (where Bob and I got married :)).





We can't wait for your wedding tomorrow, Rafe and Claudia! See you soon.

Kara and Peter, July 5th
Kara and Peter met in kickboxing class. I got the feeling that neither of them expected to find love, and then all of a sudden, there it was. They had their ceremony on Kara's parent's property in
Woodinville-- a gorgeous place out amongst the farmland. Kara and Peter are a gentle and loving couple, quirky and expressive.
They had their first meeting on the photogenic bridge across the pond:






I just love this picture of Kara's Dad holding up the back of her dress before she walks down the aisle
(remember that you can click on any picture to see it larger):

Kara sang a beautiful song to Peter during the ceremony. Kara's two boys participated in the ceremony, not only being in charge of the rings, but also helping to pour the sand mixture that symbolized their relationship. They were very interested in and did a great job during the ceremony.




Kara loves frogs, and their frog theme suited the setting perfectly. I couldn't resist a portrait of a frog holding up their rings. The kids also loved the frog theme.





Kara's Dad's workshed was transformed into a perfect little dance space, where Kara, Peter and their guests danced the night away.



Congratulations, Peter and Kara!
