You know that it’s going to be a great day when Seattle finally gives you clear skies and the reception is going to be on a boat.

This is how one of our initial conversations went:
F+B: “We are going to have the reception on a boat.”
KVW: “Awesome!”
F+B: “Yes, there’s going to be a boat. We also want to include the photo booth”

As Usher would say:

“Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh my gosh…”

Felise and Ben with their fun loving attitude, grace and radiance defined their wedding day (if not their marriage for years to come). I have never seen such a production where practically everyone was involved from the beginning to end. Volunteers helped set up and decorate the church, sang songs, served dinner, performed poetry and even cleaned up! To you guys, I hope to contribute towards that shared love. Congratulations again you two!

Here we go again! Another teaser. This time it’s with Sara and Tony Fabian. Congratulations you two! There was so much to love about this wedding from the amazing family members, star wars / star trek surprises and the photo booth that had literally 20 people lined up waving light sabers at each other. Special thanks also to John Taing for second shooting. We caught up to the getaway car! Also a special thanks goes out to Billy and Maxine for running a successful photo booth. Now to figure out where to put the life sized cut out of Darth.

The first wedding of the season and it started off amazingly. Jennifer and Byung not only represent a beautiful couple in love, but also generous souls who donated $1,000 towards my friend, Billy’s, Haiti fundraiser. Their contributions helped raised over $16,000 for those impacted in the tragic event. It was an absolute pleasure and honor to photograph these two as we made our way through Bellevue Park to the Bellevue Club Hotel. The speeches you guys gave still get me.

“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.
