“Bring your rain boots and bring an umbrella” I thought. Fortunately our luck brought us a nice Seattle overcast that scared away most of the tourists. Felise, Ben and I paid a visit to one of the more colorful historical spots in the city: the Gum Wall. We made our way to the Gum Wall to later discover two other wedding parties getting their photos taken as well. Who knew it was so popular?! In any case, Felise and Ben had something no other group had.. bubble gum! The ultimate prop for our occasion.

Once we literally wrapped up at the gum wall, we walked through Pike Place market and over to Olympic Sculpture Park for a fun last stop. Thank you Felise and Ben for being such amazing people. I don’t think I could have asked for a better “wave!”

Just having a little fun with video thanks to Animoto. I’m taking the sample photos from the photo booth and mixing that with some music. Something I think I’ll start using more for future weddings. The best part is these short versions are free! Woot!

Guests at the wedding, don’t forget to check out the blog post below with sample still images, and also the gallery if you want to order prints!

Photo booths + Wedding = Absolute WIN!

Last night was Michelle and Andrew’s big day! Congratulations to the new couple! We set up the photo booth at the wonderful Four Seasons Hotel in downtown Seattle. The second we set up, I swear that we had a 20 person line already formed. It was as if no one cared to eat, and just wanted to take photos (which I’m completely down to support)! The best part about it was seeing some familiar faces. Helping out at this wedding was made possible because of the booth we ran at Amy and Jason’s wedding in July. Friends, aunties and cousins were there to bring back the awesome from last time. I hope I run into you guys again, so you know, let others know about the photo booth ;P

Again, a special thanks to Amy and Jason for letting me run the photo booth at their wedding and introducing me to such a great group of people. The energy and excitement makes my job so easy. Of course a HUGE THANK YOU to Michelle and Andrew for the opportunity to be a part of their beautiful beginnings.

If you like what you see, become a fan on Facebook and stay in touch! Enjoy the photos!

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.

It comes with great joy to share a few photos from Diana and Chandler’s beautiful wedding on July 12th, 2009. This was a collaboration with friends: Billy Shih, John Taing and Linda Pham. Together as BJLK (guess who the K is…), we worked together to capture Diana and Chandler’s special occasion. The wedding took place at the wonderful Edgewater off of pier #67. On a side note, this is the same venue where my sister got married too, so I have another reason to love this place!

One of the best things about this wedding was how friends and family participated in the entire process. From planning, getting ready and providing the beautiful floral and gift arrangements, the final result was an event crafted out of love for these two. We all got to put a little bit of ourselves into these two and we’re all so happy to see them together.

Without further delay, I present snippets from Diana and Chandler’s wedding!

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
