Hannah & KJ
[below] From Hun’s film days . . . Hannah toasting at her older sister’s wedding . . .
And now it’s almost her turn to walk down the aisle.
Hannah was also Hun’s first Senior Portraits client from way back and KJ is the person whose work we love and trust for our design projects.
[below] They requested a picture next to the Vespa, so we told them that it would be cool if they rented one on their wedding day.

Fate brought Natalie and Justin together when they met on the other side of the world in Jordan. They had their engagement session on the week of their wedding because Justin recently flew in from Egypt and Turkey. Such a cool, calm and collected couple even during one of the craziest weeks of a couple’s life. Ever since she picked him up from the airport, they haven’t been able to keep their eyes and lips off of each other.
[below] This one makes me want to sing ‘Easy breezy beautiful cover girl.’ [CoverGirl jingle anyone?]

Gretchen and Matt’s wedding was extravagant, but they are so down to earth and humble – such a sweet couple.
[below] Gretchen chose a Voletta Couture gown and Kate Spade shoes.
[below] Matt wrote a touching note for his bride-to-be; he even went the extra mile and put it on a fancy card.
[below] First glimpse
[below] We had competition.
[below] Woops – looks like someone lost their dress. I don’t blame the flowergirl for wanting it off because it isn’t the most comfortable attire.
[below] We can always count on Wendy for a fabulous wedding. She’s been voted Seattle’s Best, and we know why – details are always impeccable, schedules run consistently smooth, she’s fun to be around, and she’s just plain good!
[below] Special song was sung by Gretchen’s sisters and brother-in-laws.
[below] Caught this one while they were in the room to sign their marriage license.
[below] At the Fairmont Hotel, the decor, food, and people were all beautiful!
[below] The ‘candy bar’ was a hit with kids and adults alike.

[below] The band was rockin’ the house!
[below] Of course the photo booth always brings good times.
[below] Gretchen had the right idea and changed into nice comfy slippers.
[below] In his toast, Dad said that he’s taking the first flight out and joining them on their honeymoon.
[below] All girls in the family . . . Gretchen is the youngest of four daughters and four of these flowergirls are her nieces.

Day I
[below] On our flight, we were all supposed to be in the same row, but it didn’t happen for some reason. That’s okay though because this shot wouldn’t have happened. I love how Paul and Glo, the recently engaged couple, are so excited! It was their first time traveling together, and our first time traveling with another couple. 
[below] Glo and I wanted to take these cute little round cacti home.
We went to Cabo Wabo for dinner because it came highly recommended . . . but all of us thought it was mediocre. It might have been the fact that it was uncomfortably sticky and we weren’t there at a designated time for specials.
Day II
[below] The Office was great! We dined right on the beach with our feet in the sand. We had a table closest to the water, but most of the time, the view was obstructed by vendors.
[below] Back at our hotel lobby, Paul and Glo did an amazing job mimicking the people in the painting.
Day III
[below] Hun got a little boo-boo from the pool the previous night.
[below] Paul had some mad skills taking pictures while driving his ATV [Hun and I behind him].
[below] I think Hun was nervous because we were right next to a cliff with no railing.
[below] Our beautiful hotel
Day IV
[below] Some from Paul and Gloria’s engagement session . . . we were joking about telling everyone that they got married. 
[below] I asked them to be like the cactus – look how cute Glo is with her form and expression!
[below] We rode a boat like this to Lover’s Island. It had a strip of glass on the bottom so that we can see what’s ‘under the sea’.
[below] Downtown Cabo | Marina boardwalk
Last Day
[below] We ate fish tacos 4 out of 5 days for lunch, especially at this place.
[below] I think they take their beer seriously – this was at the airport.
[below] Mexico beat Hun up . . . a zit on his normally-perfect skin, gashes on his upper lip and chin from the pool, a bug bite on his cheek and left eye.
[below] We had a 6 hour layover in San Francisco so we rode a trolley to Fisherman’s Wharf and ate at Joe’s Crab Shack. Right after we got our food, the power went out in the whole area.
Glo and Paul, thanks for the good times . . . we SO needed this trip!

New Service . Bridal Gown Fitting
We are always thinking of ways to set ourselves apart from others and step up our business to another level. I don’t know of anyone who has done this, so I had an idea to offer a bridal gown final fitting as an additional service. I thought it would be special for a bride to have her fitting documented, to share the moment and excitement with her mother and/or bridesmaids. I had my first session with Amelia about a month ago and couldn’t wait to post it! This past weekend, Brandon saw Amelia for the first time in her dress while she was walking down the aisle - he was so captivated! You can see why . . . can someone say sexy?
[below] I thought it would be fun to have her stand in the display window like a mannequin. There was a passerbyer that went inside to tell her how stunning Amelia looked.

Hun continues to amaze me with his work. Below are my favorites from his session with Rachel. Rachel has amazing eyes . . . I guess their family has genes where their eyes change colors.

Today is regarded the luckiest day of the century [and the most sought out day for weddings]! Getting ready for Rose and Edward’s fabulous wedding at the Palace Ballroom!
Here is a sneak peek of recent weddings we’ve had the honor of photographing.

Aiden Meet World. World Meet Aiden.
Congratulations to Donna and Jason!
As hubby and I were leaving Aiden’s room, this picture was hanging outside the wall. The very same picture was in a bookmark I gave Donna and Tina when we were in college to represent our friendship. I thought that was cool because it reminded me of how far we all have come.
