Thais
Over the weekend we had our boudoir marathon at a Seattle hotel. It was a lot of fun and we got some great images. Thais, who got married in July, joined us to do a bridal session. It was a lot of fun — we spent some time in the hotel suite, the lobby, and even outside.
Trina and John’s wedding
Trina and John were married at the Seattle Yacht Club on Saturday evening. It was truly one of the classiest weddings I have been to all summer. It was a relaxed and intimate event with close family and friends. Take a careful look at Trina’s veil, her mother wore it 44 years ago at her wedding!
The ceremony was beautiful. 
Beth and Kevin — engaged
Beth and Kevin drove 2 1/2 hours for their engagement session at Golden Garden’s beach. It was the one day this week that we have had sunshine and we sure were glad it came out. 
Phung and Hai’s Wedding
This is the longest wedding I have shot to date! I shot this 13 hour wedding with Bryan from Amore Studios. Bryan usually shoots with his talented wife, Melody, but they are expecting a little girl in month and Melody deserved some rest after the wedding season.
I started out the day at Hei’s house to capture him getting ready. 
I can only imagine the girls had a very early start to the day as the ceremony began at 10am at Phung’s house. Here the girls are waiting eagerly for the groom and his party to arrive at the house. 
Isn’t Phung beautiful?
And the ceremony…
After the ceremony, Phung changed into a gorgeous white gown and we all headed out to the China House restaraunt for a BIG reception with the most amazing food I have ever seen!
And finally, Phung and Hei’s frist dance…
Leavenworth
It may seem like all I do is shoot weddings on the weekends, but sometimes I take a weekend off and enjoy the great Northwest. One of the many reasons I choose to live here in Seattle is the sheer number of great locations to visit, all within a short drive.
I’m the oldest sister of a four-girl family – after some prodding I convinced two of them to fly out for a weekend visit (the last I apparently didn’t prod enough). My husband suggested we take them to Oktoberfest in Leavenworth — which he claims it wasn’t for women dressed up in Bavarian costumes. *cough cough*
Be warned – for sake of keeping everyone happy and not having to pose with my professional gear – I took along our little point and shoot camera.
The picture doesn’t give proper credit to how HUGE this dinner platter we shared was. We got to enjoy all of the German favorites such as Schweinshax’n (rotisseried broiled pork hock), Chicken Munich Style (rotisseried chicken), Schweine Schnitzel (breaded, pan fried pork cutlet), sausages, Bavarian Potato Salad, Winekraut, Rotkraut (Red Cabbage) and Spätzle. Don’t actually ask me to pronounce everything though. :)
Goofing around…
Dana was such a good sport hanging out with three girls. I hope he get’s used to it! I am the third generation of all girls, and want to carry it on!
It was minature golf – sorta. None of your standard obstacles like windmills and fake hills. Just check out my sis Janae assessing her unfortunate shot into the sand trap.
The weekend ended with Sunday breakfast – compliments of my husbands cooking. Dungess Crab Eggs Benedict – - it’s hard to say it and not want more.
And of course – no trip is complete without a walk through the Pike Place Market.
