My New Web Site Is Up!!

I am very excited about my new site! After about a month close work with Mr. Xu of Novait, we finally made it happen! Mr. Xu put a lot of thoughts and efforts into the design. From the very beginning, we wanted something different from the popular templates out there, and Novait delivered beautifully! Mr. Xu is very talented and yet he listens to your ideas and transform them into his design. I am absolutely thrilled!

Janet and Evan's Engagement Session At Gaswork Park

Janet and Evan were referred to me by Austin of NiteLiteEnt (www.niteliteent.com) and had kindly agreed to hire me as their wedding reception photographer next May. They will have their wedding at Greece and then come back for the reception at the Olympic Fairmont Hotel in Seattle. What a great plan!

The lucky Greek dude who will photograph Janet and Evan's ceremony will have a great job to do as Janet and Evan is a very fun and relaxed couple and they are clearly in love! I had a great time photographing them at Gaswork Park this past Sunday. I certainly hope they has as much fun as I did!

Charissa And Mike's Wedding In California

We recently booked a wedding for Charissa and Mike. Charissa and Mike's wedding will be held next March in LA, California. I am very excited about being their primary photographer! The reasons are multi-fold. First of all, Charissa was referred to me from my friend and former bride Marissa. I was lucky to photograph Marissa and Andy's wedding last May in California and Charissa was one of the bride maids! So this is very special to me. And then, March in Seattle vs. southern Cal...OK, no need to elaborate! :-) Lastly, Charissa's father was a very respectful priest and I am looking forward to an opportunity to get some insights from him.

Both Charissa and Mike are in the medical fields with a very , very busy life now.

Congratulations Charissa and Mike!

And thank you Marissa for the referral!

ABC Halloween Masquerade Ball

I missed two our local ABC (Association of Bridal Consultants) gatherings this summer due to travel, so I was very excited to catch up with this group of talented people. The party was set up the historical Seattle Women's University Club in downtown Seattle. Melissa Parker from Amazingeventsonline did a beautiful job to set up and bring out the mood! Afterward, Jeanne Beck, the Food and Beverage Manager at the club, gave us a tour of the building. It is a charming and beautiful building. I feel all brides would love it. Not to mention this building has a lot of history! If you are interested in the history and the building itself, you should contact Jeanne herself. I am sure she will be happy to give you more info!

The Photographer Who Knows More Than Photography

I was second shooting with Jeff (www.jeffleplante.com) last Saturday for Sara and Tom's wedding. During preparation, the bride had some trouble with her gown while the guests were waiting for the ceremony to start. Here came Jeff, the photographer, who used duct tape to tighten the dress. Jennifer the bride of honor was so impressed she picked Jeff's camera and snapped picture of Jeff At Work!

Way to go, Jeff!

Worriors -- Native American POW WOW

The annual Native American POW WOW at the Discovery Park is always my favorite event. Not only I was drawn to the color, music, and the dance, but also to the pride and joyfulness expressed by the dancers and shared by all participants. It always is a beautiful event. This year over hundreds of tribes from all over the country and Canada gathered for the POW WOW.
