What a pleasant day that was last Saturday! I had been looking forward to this day since I got to know this very nice and fun couple last year as I knew it’s going to be another beautiful and fun wedding! Stephanie and Cory wed at the beautiful Broadmoor Golf Club.
The weather was sunny and warm. We started off with the bridal party outside and of course Stephanie wanted to do something fun…therefore the jumping bridal party shot 
As before, Mary ran a smooth show. The ceremony was intimate and sweet with laughters. And later, with the Design Band from Portland, you were guaranteed for a great party!

I was lucky to be part of and photograph Meagan and Tom’s wedding last week at the Seattle Golf Club. This lovely couple was introduced to me by Jeff LaPlante who couldn’t be there by himself for that day. Meagan’s mother, Mary, pretty much planned and coordinated every aspect of the wedding and it was a great event…simply elegant and beautiful. There was a live band, Design Band , and they kept the party going all night. It’s a great party!

Last Friday was the wedding day for Jesika and Art. Jesika and Art are a young and fun couple. I was lucky to know them through Stacy Gavino of Cherishing Moments. We started the day at a downtown men’s only hair studio for the guys’ shaving party. Yeah, guys got pampered (and their nails polished). Then we headed to Hotel 1000 (a very cool hotel) where the ladies were already there. But since Jesika and Art didn’t want to see each other before the ceremony, we made sure there was on accidental encounter. There I got to meet Jesika’s beautiful bridesmaids and the cute flower girl. Later, a limo came and picked up the guys and gals in separate trips to Pier 66, the cite for the ceremony. The ceremony was held at the roof top of Pier 66 and officiated by Reverend Ray. The view was gorgerious and near the end of the ceremony, the setting sun was casting a orange warm light on the couple. It was just beautiful.
The reception was held at Pravda Studio in Capital Hill. That was my second time to the studio and I really like it. Stacy and her team did a great job decorate the place and set up the catered foods. Mike Bozinski of My Life Time Event did a great job of making the party going.

Last weekend I went to San Francisco for Hellen and Peter’s wedding. Hellen the bride was a bridemaid of her friend Charissa, who was married last March, so I got to know Hellen and Peter back then. In addition, I was very glad to see their friends, Wilma and Alvin (who later again MC’ed the reception), were there too.
We started off the morning by visiting Hellen and her bridesmaids at a salon, while my assistant Hellen (yeah, Hellen with two ‘L’s’) went to Peter’s parents house to see the groom and his party. After a short gathering at the couple’s condo, the whole bridal party went to the beautiful Legion of Honor. In the early afternoon, Hellen and Peter got married at the beautiful St. Mark’s Cathedral. After the ceremony, we went to the piers, a busy touristy spot, thus getting a lot of ‘Congratulations!’. Nicely and surprisingly, when we walked onto Pier 7, it was completely empty. The Sun was getting lower and we got some very nice images.
It was a great trip for me. Not only I got to see many familiar faces, got to visit the beautiful San Francisco, also my assistant, the ‘Other’ Hellen, is my good friend. With her knowledge of the city, I didn’t have to worry about going from place to place. Hellen and Peter planned their wedding day well and it was just a great, happy day for everyone!

It was last Monday morning. The trip started with a nice ferry ride to Bainbridge Island and a 20 minutes drive took me to The Green Cat Guest House B&B, a very pretty and cozy place with spacious yards, wooded areas on all site of the house. It was an ideal venue for a private gathering. Kristy and Rebecca had their beautiful wedding held there.
I started at the Waterfront Hair Gallery where Kristy & Rebecca got their hairs done and then went back to Green Cat B&B. Under the watchful eyes of Bridgett, their friend and the ‘unofficial’ coordinator, things were moving along smoothly. We then headed out to the beach for more photographs, on time!
The ceremony was unique…their friends and guests would come up during the ceremony and tie a colored ribbon on their wrists while they were holding their hands together. Very nice!

WHAT A GREAT PARTY!!
Last Saturday Janet and Evan had their wedding at the Fairmont Olympic Hotel, and me and my second photographer Mark Ye were very fortunate to cover the event. It was great! Everyone was just so happy for the lovely couple and were laughing, dancing, and sharing great moments.
Janet and Evan actually had their wedding at Greece last month and they came back to host this event to share their union with friends and families in the States. I got to give the Greek photographer a lot of credits because Janet and Evan were sooooo good at working with us It rained a little that afternoon but when we got out to get some images, there was a nice sun break so we were able to make some great images.
Back to the hotel, we got to witness a great ceremony and to hear all the touching toasts and their love stories. The event was hosted by my good colleagues Austin and Jeremy of NiteLite Entertainment. Woodland Flowers did the flower arrangement and Janet’s bouquet. Her wedding gown was from Bellevue Bridal. All in all, it was a beautiful wedding!

It was supposed to be in the high eighties last Saturday. I put on a short and headed out to Seattle to meeting Lisa and Yoann for their engagement session. But after I got out, I found that there was a nice breeze and the sky was cover by clouds. Where was that high degree? I went back and put on a pair of pants. Who knows.
The Sculpture park was busy with a lot of visitors. And obviously, love was in the air as there was a wedding and at least another couple doing the engagement session, in addition to us: Lisa, Yoann, and myself.
Lisa teaches French and Yoann is a French. And they met here in Seattle. The rest was history Lisa and Yoann are very nice people. The park was beautiful and the weather was perfect. We just walked around and photograhed and had a fun time!
Lisa and Yoann will tie the knot in July. Below are few images. And here is a link to a online slideshow: http://www.jackzyoung.com/Webshow/Lisa_Yoann_Engagement/index.html
