Nina + Chris – The Wedding

Last Saturday, we had a blast shooting the wedding of Nina and Chris. The weather prediction was supposedly to be miserable but miraculously not only did it not rain, but the sun actually showed up for a good while. Someone up there must have really favored them! Enjoy the photos! Location: Seattle, WA

Nina + Chris – The Engagement

We took advantage of a rare sunny day in Seattle to do Nina and Chris' engagement session at Golden Gardens. Nina is a nurse manager and Chris has his own counseling practice. It is no wonder their love story started in a hospital. Even with the sunshine, the weather was incredibly chilly. We spent just a short 1.5 hours in this session and decided to call it a wrap. No matter, we love the results! Hope ...

Kate + Elliot – The Engagement

Fun, beautiful, in love (a lot !) … those are the words which exactly describe Kathe and Elliot. They are getting married this coming October at SODO park. It’s going to be one exceptional and one-of-a-kind wedding. We’re so super-stoked with them. For their engagement, we took advantage of the run-down feel of Gaswork park, the breathtaking ocean view of Carkeek beach and the darkness to capture their wittiness . So looking forward to their big day ! In ...

Karen + Matt : The Engagement

We got a phone call from Karen & Matt in January wanting to push their engagement shoot sooner than plan. The original arrangement was to do it in Spring but they would like to have a nice photo to use for their “Save the Date” cards. We did the shoot in the middle of the January and thank God the weather was cooperative. It was not too long ago that it snowed! Karen likes a ...

Katie + Jeremy – Engagement Box

We have always wanted to do a winter theme engagement and Katie + Jeremy are brave enough to try anything. Snoqualmie Pass was all ours as it was eerily empty. We had a great time just being spontaneous and crazy with the photo shoot. They are such a beautiful couple both inside and out! Enjoy the photos! Location: Snoqualmie Pass, WA

Nikki + Travis: The Wedding

This is very much a Seattle wedding story. Nichole and Travis met each other while working at the University of Washington. They chose Matt's in the Market, right in the heart of Pike Place Market, for their ceremony and reception. Their wedding was small and mostly intimate, besides a little craziness going on in our photobooth. We had so much fun! Congratulations guys and enjoy the photos! Location : Pike Place Market, Seattle More on facebook ...

Deana + Kris – Wedding Box

One of our favorite couple finally got hitched! We can usually expect to learn a thing or two more about our couples when it comes time for the toasts. And boy do we learn a ton about what lovely, humble and giving people Kris + Deana really are. You guys rock, and we cannot wait to see how your fairytale story unfolds from here! Location : Rainier Club House, Seattle.

Yuly + David: The Wedding

Yuli and David got hitched in the beautiful winery county of Livermore, about an hour drive from San Francisco. The weather forecast for the day was supposed to be cloudy with a 70% chance of rain. But as the day turned out, the sky cleared up and we were blessed with the California sun and insane cloud formation. We had great fun at the wedding and made a lot of ...

Joanna + Ray: The Wedding

This is why we love our local weather. We were a bit worried when the forecast showed that there was a good chance of rain on Joanna & Ray's wedding day. We were even more worried when we saw groups of dark clouds hovering closer to the venue at Newcastle Golf Club. Then it started to rain. Looks like it is going to be a big one, just like what the forecast said. Prayer definitely ...

Jinny + Roben : Destination Wedding

We went to Ventura, CA, last week to document an outdoor wedding on the top of the hill overlooking the California coastline. The couple happens to be good friends of ours. Roben is a youth pastor for IFGF church in San Fernando Valley while Jinny works as the director of World Harvest, a non-profit relief organization that we support. The weather there was torrid (we have major sunburn to prove it), ...

Deana + Kris – the engagement

We had so much fun with these two goofy lovebirds! It was raining that day, so we decided to make lemonade out of lemon. Their sense of humor definitely brightens up our shoot. Looking forward to their big day! Enjoy the images! Location: Seattle, WA

Talen + James : The Wedding

The two-hour drive up to Blaine was therapeutical. We blasted our FM radio to the tune of love ballads and by the time we arrived at the gorgeous Semiahmoo Resort, our head are spinning with images. Talen & James are such a cute couple. We had a great time documenting their wedding, one that is filled with celebration! To top it all of, the day ended with one of the most beautiful sunset we have ...

Nita + Edo: The Engagement

The proverb "Better late than never" cannot be truer than this. We had the ultimate blast shooting Nita & Edo's engagement series just a day before their wedding. Right after the shoot is over, we were burning the midnight oil to edit and showcase some of the pictures on their wedding day.They are an utterly adorable and sweet couple. These lovebirds are totally in their zone in front of the camera, and they are not ...

Christine + Edmond: The Engagement in NY

We have been to New York a couple of times but never for a shoot. So it was thrilling for us to be given the opportunity to do an engagement session for Christine and Edmond in the City! Edmond is the older brother of Win, one of Lifebox's principal photographers, so this session is somewhat special. They kept their poise and cool even though it was raining hard half the time we were there. We ...

Kaye + Dan – The Wedding

Kaye and Dan are two of the nicest people you’ll ever meet and we are so excited about their new life together. It’s a cliche to say that a couple was surrounded by love, but they were truly surrounded by love and adoration. It almost rained but it did not. God must be smiling on them. We also had the pleasure of working with the beautiful ladies from Happily Ever After who did an incredible job ...

Isa & James: The Wedding

We went to Portland several weeks ago to document the wedding of Isa & James. Everyone remember this gorgeous couple?! If not, click here to see their engagement session taken a few months back in Seattle. Their ceremony was in the beautiful Grotto which provides such a perfect backdrop for gorgeous photos. The reception was held in the Portland Art Museum. We loved the details of this wedding, and to top ...

Gina + Brett : The Wedding

Last weekend, we shot the wedding of Gina & Brett in Edmonds. The couple are just so well matched for each other. These two had such a genuine respect and sweetness for each other, it was lovely to watch, and fun to be around. The ceremony was outdoors in the open overlooking Edmond’s waterfront. We apparently did not learn our lesson well enough to bring a tube of sun ...

Talen + James: The Engagement

We had great fun last Saturday shooting the engagement for Talen & James. They are a sweet couple who went through some tough times with their wedding planning. That actually motivates us even more to do a great job and bless them. We had a nautical theme in mind and therefore visited the marina in Ballard. The weather was cooperating as well and was unusually hot for Seattle at this time of the year. It was ...

Alison + Paul – The Engagement

These two are goofy lovebirds i tell you. Alison worked at the Westin Building in downtown and she has access to its rooftop. It was real sweet to have a 360 degree view of Seattle as the backdrop. Then it began to rain. That did not stop us of course. We went to Volunteer Park for the next location and made full use of their Burberry umbrella. We can't wait for their wedding this Fall! ...

Karen + Matt: The Wedding

A frog meets a princess. The princess kisses the frog. The frog becomes a prince. The prince and the princess live happily ever after. Well, the frog, the prince, the princess and the happily ever after part are true, but the only kissing that happened was just between the prince and the princess. No frog kissing. The wedding of Karen and Matt is like a beautiful fairy tale packed with lots of emotion. The weather was perfect. ...

Irwan: Identity Box

Irwan Ngadisastra is a realtor in Seattle and we help him create photos that reflect his identity and personality visually. We come up with some concepts that portray him in the best light, in the hope that he will be successful in visually communicating who he is to his clientele. Check out his website at http://www.seattleidealhomes.com.

Gina + Brett: The Egagement

We had a lot of fun shooting an engagement session with Gina & Brett last Wednesday evening. We went to SoDo and Downtown Seattle and experiment with some visual concepts that we have brainstormed over the week. The weather turned out great after a cloudy morning and we even managed to take advantage of the golden hour just before sunset. Gina & Brett are very cooperative and they are natural born ...

Nita + Edo: The Wedding

To summarize Nita & Edo's wedding day, it is full of emotions, both laughter and tears. They wrote and memorize their own vows. They traded smiles and touches. And since it happened on Mother's day, they surprised both their moms with flowers as well. It was a memorable wedding filled with timeless moments. Having a gorgeous location such as the City Club of Buckhead certainly did help too! They are just perfect for each other and ...

Lisa + Ben: The Wedding

We are so stoked on this next wedding we can hardly stand it! Lisa + Ben were married at the Canal in Ballard. We loved this wedding from the moment it started until the moment it ended! It was filled with unfiltered emotions and love. The day ended with a little rain but it definitely does not stop the celebration. Enjoy the photos ! Location : The Canal at Ballard More on facebook ...

Elena + Malac: The Engagement

Elena + Malac was referred to us by our past clients, Lisa + Ben. They were married last year but wanted to do a trash the dress session with us. They wore their wedding apparel again for the session. They look totally gorgeous in them! We think Elena looked a little like Cameron Diaz, don't you think? We explored and used different techniques in this series, and they both were very open to our suggestions. ...
