Laughter. Smiles. Funny faces. Oh, and not to mention monkeys! (I’ll save everyone from any banana jokes, promise!) Cori and Matt invited me to take photos with only weeks counting down. We quickly got settled in and made our rounds in a few of the rooms including the nursery, bedroom and what I like to classify as Matt’s man cave. By the time we wrapped up all the indoor photos, we only had about 30 minutes left before sunset! So we made haste over the Alki and parked at the nearest spot by the beach.

The protocol was simple, “walk that way and just enjoy the sunset.” Playing paparazzi, the candid moments just fell into place. Actually, I think they were posing, but they were so natural at it, you couldn’t even tell! The two were even open to walking into the water with me. Mind you, Seattle water isn’t the warmest of waters to dip your toe into. All said and done, I think we beat the clock and made the best of our time together. Enjoy!

Gallery and Password [Updated!]
Here’s the link to the gallery: Photo booth gallery [Link]. See all the photos and order prints.

The password is the name of the place where Amy and Jason are living. Here’s a hint, it starts with an “H” and it’s also the place where Jason proposed to Amy. If you can’t guess it, please email me at kevin [at] kvwphoto [dot] com.

The awesome couple framed!

Whew! We did it!
I’m writing this right now with a big smile on my face. After returning from the brand spanking new Grand Ballroom in the Bellevue Hyatt, I am eagerly preparing to get the photos up online for everyone to see. Amy and Jason’s wedding was marvelous on so many levels. From the beginning when I first talked to them about being a part of the evening’s activities to the last dance of the night, it felt like an amazing experience.

I’ll be writing a full post on the entire set up as well as provide some of the things that I learned along the way (the hard way). I believe you will be able to run your own photo booth with kick butt printing and live previews for scrap booking.

Amy & Jason’s Love Story by Shih Films
This is the love story montage that was presented during the reception along with the SDE by Ambient Sky Studios. There were a lot of laughs and smiles during the viewing so I’m happy to share this on behalf Billy. Check it out!

Big Thanks!
One last bit, I wanted to give a big shout to John Taing for being the rock star assistant and all around awesome friend. Big shout to Billy Shih for producing and editing a stellar Love Story video (I’ll post it here too) who was also kind enough to bring additional supplies that I neglected to remember to the stage. Finally, Yaddi Ty, for helping me make one of the hottest props used in the booth, our homemade picture frame with velcro signs! Here’s a photo of the boys:

And of course, I have to share a couple of the photos from all the festivities.

If you haven’t already checked out the photos from Zofia Photo, the talented Nantucket photographer who covered Julie and Will’s wedding, please do so after this post. Also, you can check out my rehearsal photos here.

With a wedding full of beautiful friends, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to make them look good too! I haven’t seem these guys for some time now, but it was as if we saw each other just yesterday whilst we ran around taking photos throughout the day. My two favorite couples below are BreeAnna and Bobby as well as Lindsey and Scott. I had to keep a close eye on these two because they kept falling into a picture perfect setting. You might even think they did it on purpose

KPMG’s J.Crew Couple of the Year

Lindsey + Scott (too hottie)

As a guest, I had the privilege to shoot some fun moments with friends. So today I bring you rehearsal photos from the wedding! Some friends and Will’s dad were kind enough to politely roast Will in front of the whole family and friends. Dad definitely took the cake, but luckily no one got hurt No worries though since the couple are both stellar people who hardly make poor decisions. It was like saying a student studied too much.

More importantly, don’t forget to check out the photos from Zofia, the most amazing wedding photographer coming out of Nantucket. Her and Earl Christie really rocked the island and have incredible photos of everyone during the ceremony. It’s pretty much a J. Crew catalog ad.

In the spirit of Diana and Chandler’s wedding coming up this Sunday, I wanted to share a few of their photos from an engagement session at the Olympic Sculpture Park. I’ve known these two since high school and it’s been an incredible 8+ years knowing them and seeing them grow together. Chandler for a large part of the time had been away serving for our country in Iraq, but their love continues to blossom even more now that he has returned.

My favorite is the one with the ampersand. Turns out they used it for the save the date cards! Anyways, hope you enjoy these and check back soon when I post up the photos from their wedding day!

This has been a post that has been something I’ve put off for many months now. Now that I have things working on my end, I’d like to share a little story to you now.

Shortly after Tiffany and Jared got married in Jamaica, Billy and I spent the afternoon with them around Eastlake taking photos and shoot video of the two for a compilation video Billy was producing/editing. We ran all over town shooting in different locations. Eastlake has a lot to offer, from really cool urban corridors to sweet exposed brick walls. We worked it with the Style-ish couple all the way through sunset. Being photographers themselves, they knew how to work it and made our job even easier. Nothing but thanks to you two! Below is the video Billy created:

We also had the pleasure of shooting Macho and Savvy, their two dogs. These guys were so well behaved and photogenic that it only took one shot to get it right. Check out the album below!
