Last week we enjoyed incredible weather. Cold but all sunny. Now the familiar clouds are back, baby! Below are some sunny images to keep us warm

I was meeting two clients for their summary wedding in downtown and saw this giant mural painting:

Playing with my son Anton in a farm:

Street artists in Pike Place Market:

And finally, the Olympics in morning glow taken from our house:

I was browsing through the Bellevue Reporter newspaper last week and saw this featured article about La Belle Reve, the bridal salon in downtown Bellevue. I thought, oh, great, I know the store owner, Olga, as she is also a member of ABC (Association of Bridal Consultants). It was a great article telling an amazing story about Olga. So I sent Olga an email to congratulate her and she said she would be sponsoring the fashion at the upcoming bridal show. How lovely! Photographing fashion is always fun!

Thanks to a kind referral from Marissa (as the picture above - Marissa and Andy at their wedding in 2006), her friend Jeremy will marry Stacey this coming August at the Four Seasons Sillicon Valley and they have commission me as their wedding photographer! What a great opportunity! I have many friends in that area and would love to go down there often. This is going to be a great wedding! In fact, in late March, I will go to LA to photograph Charissa’s wedding. Well, Charissa was one of the bridesmaids in Marissa’s wedding and again thanks to Marissa, I will be the lucky photographer for her wedding. Then before Charissa’s wedding, I will meet up with Jeremy and Stacey to do their engagement session.

Thank you Marissa!

Last Saturday, while the Seahawks were kicking some serious red butts at the Qwest Field, there was also a Seattle Wedding Show at the Convention Center. The guys deserve some credit as most of them knew, at least on Saturday, which event was more important

“I will go with you, honey. But let’s do it on Sunday please!”

Go Hawks!!!

I was flipping through the Seattle Metropolitan Bride & Groom magazine I just received from the mail and saw an ad. I was like ‘Wow! Beautiful!’ It was from Viso d’Angelo, owned by my friend Deb Reinhardt. Deb is a facial artist but she does an amazing job doing lash extensions. She will make her client looking exceptionally beautiful. Check it out!

So there is no need for me to describe what happened at the New Year’s Eve fireworks show at the Space Needle. Just that compared to other cities, Seattle’s show was really small, and Seattle is almost the high tech center of the universe, I can’t help but to have this commercial coming to mind:

” Hello I am Mac.”

“And I am PC.”

Happy 2008!
