Fun bokeh shapes

Two years ago, before any of this “business” stuff started, my friends and I gathered to take photos of random things. You name it, flowers, clouds, windows, puddles and kittens. On one of those ocassions, Linda showed us how we could have fun with changing the shape of bokeh. Bokeh is a Japanese term that describes the “blurred background” effect you commonly find in SLR cameras. Using a modified hood, you can shape points of light to whatever you want! Flash forward to this past weekend, we all got together to try it out ourselves as part of a reunion.

Well, sort of.

You see, it rained once sunset hit Gasworks, which caused us to retreat to Shultzy’s for a little happy hour. BUT! I did manage to sneak a couple shots for you just because I liked my cut out of….

…butterflies!

Diana + Chandler’s Seattle Wedding

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!
