Last night I visited Stephanie and Cory at their beautiful home not far from Microsoft (hint, Stephanie is one of the MS wizards).  We chatted about their wedding plan and exchanged ideas about world peace while I snapped away.  Both Stephanie and Cory were playful and very fun to be with.   We had such a great time.Stephanie and Cory will tie the knot on Feb. 21st, 2009 at Broadmoor Golf Club in Seattle.  I am looking forward to meeting Cory’s parents and family and am excited about to see Stephanie’s parents again.  The wonderful Design Band will be there too.  I am very excited about this upcoming wedding!    

Our friends Sophia Wong and Holly Yang invited us to this nice Year of Ox Gala last night.  It was hosted by Hong Kong Association of Washington at Sheraton Hotel.  In addition to having this wonderful opportunity to catch up with our friends, we have also enjoyed a fashion show by the famed designer Luly Yang.

We had a great time!  Thank you Sophia and Holly!

A few days ago ABC and ISES hosted another annual table top contest at the Columbia Tower Club.  The event was organized by Sherry Smith of MachenzieKate Wedding and she was kind enough to ask me to do photography coverage.  After two hours of photographing, I felt I needed another two hours.  There were total sixteen tables and all of them were beautifully designed.  The talents were obvious.  It was a visual feast.  Below are few images:

 Talitha booked me more than a year ago, and last winter we did the engagement session for her and Joel at The Summit, in snow.  So it’s great to see them again yesterday at the Muckleshoot Casino for their wedding reception and to meet their parents and friends.

It’s a great day to celebrate Talitha and Joel’s marriage.  Patrick Fullmer of Emerald Entertainment ran the whole event and there were a lot of fun moments and laughters.

Congratulations Talitha and Joel!

Last Sunday I was invited to photograph our ABC (Association of Bridal Consultants) director Dianne Green’s family, especially her grand children, Cameron, Mackenzie, and Jacob.  The location was at Dianne’s husband’s race car garage, T Armstrong Cars, Inc., in Issaquah.  If you love cool and hot race cars, you are in heaven.  But I got the family, especially three cute and fun kids to follow so didn’t have much time to admire these meticulously polished race cars.  Maybe another time when they are in action.Jacob.  ”If I can see you, I can drive!”  haha! OK, grown-up, enough! Cameron was too cool Mackenzie the biker?
