You might remember a post I made some months back. ‘What The Duck’ is a comic relief for most photographers [we're under 'News' on the left] .
Our good buddies who also happen to be photographers, Jane and John surprised us with a comic strip customized just for us [enlarged and framed] as an anniversary gift. Thanks you guys for your creative and thoughtful gift!
Kimberly and James, Kimmy and Jimmy, Kim and Jim . . . different combinations of names they are called by friends and family. Like I said from their engagement session, they are so down-to-earth!
[below] Love the spideroos that Hun caught!
Kim and Jimmy made sure there was ample time for portraits so we had a lot of time to work with for fabulous and relaxed portraits. Jimmy is really relaxed below.

[below] I can just see it in the father’s face saying, ‘Take good care of my daughter.’
[below] I was nicely surprised to see Dr. Leslie Parrott [far left] in attendance. Her and her husband Les are famous for their relationship expertise. My husband and I attended their “Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts” seminar when we were engaged. This gives me a nice opportunity to say how very important it is to work on preparing for marriage. It’s so easy to be consumed by planning for the wedding day and neglect the most important part – working on the ’til death do us part’. This is one of my biggest passions.

[below] Notice Kim’s patent pink shoes which she changed into for the reception. A big trend this year has been about having a different color for bridal shoes or having a second pair that’s a different color.

Teressa was a florist at one of the weddings we photographed last year, and we’re excited for her union to Ryan this year. Ryan is the first guy that she ever kissed – I think that is ultra sweet and admirable.
[below] I don’t get bored of photographing feet.
[below] This location isn’t known to be romantic, but we needed some light to work with so we just pulled into the closest area. Didn’t matter where we were, the spark in their romance was enough.

Estelle and Hyo held their celebration at a private club. Another beautiful wedding with this lovely couple.
[below] For the guys’ preparation time.
[below] So deep in thought
[below] Gotta love the sister’s reaction
[below] Be warned.
[below] Oh no you di-n’t Estelle!
[below] This couple’s version of the dance where the fish is reeled in was the best I’ve seen yet. Just look at his face!

Sue and Brandon made sure they enjoyed every moment of their celebration. Sue kept telling us all day that it’s been her dream for us to shoot her wedding. What a total sweetheart! It was impressive that even with eight bridesmaids, everyone got ready on time.

[below] It was windy so they needed extra help lighting their unity candle. I think it’s symbolic of how it is in real life.
[below] The decor and motif of the wedding all tied in together – from her dress to the table covers to the party favors . . .
[below] One of their special touches was that they handed each guest an individually wrapped gift.

We had the usual crazy, unpredictable Seattle weather on Shayne and Patrick’s wedding day with bright sun one second and rain the other. Even so, Shayne was willing to sacrifice her dress for pictures. That’s just the type of person she was – happy go lucky. She told us that she always hides from cameras, but I’m not sure why because the camera loves her!

Dad never cries, but he started to cry during his toast – the daughters’ reactions below.

[below] Patrick acted like he was going to throw the garter, but ended up just handing it over to his buddy.
