There were two doctors from Ohio
Who came to Snoqualmie to get married-O
He decided to go hiking
At 3pm we were panicking
But came back in time and they were wed-O

Thanks for coming all the way, for bringing your friends and family to this part of the world and for letting me make pictures of you

Sometimes, you meet a couple you just know are going to have an amazing life together. It’s more a feeling than an observation. The way the boy looks at the girl. The way the girl laughs, uninhibited and unafraid. The way everything seems to be…in sync.

Phuong and Tinh, despite having been apart most of their relationship (he works in CA, she lives here in Seattle), is one such couple. They have beaten the odds to make it work, and with so much of their love still obviously intact.

This is for you, Phuong and Tinh. I am excited to shoot your wedding!

Music: Heidi Talbot’s If You Stay.

We’d wanted to catch, one more time, the beautiful cherry blossoms at the UW Quad.

Sadly, they had mostly been washed away by the rains the last few days before our shoot.

Still, it was pretty and we were thankful for the morning sun!

The lovely Thy. Isn’t that dress cute?

To cheer Thy up (because the cherry blossoms had gone), her fiance Thuan caught a falling bloom for her. Isn’t that sweet?

And put it on her hair for her? Awww. I swear, not prompted AT all

That cheered her up considerably

“This is why I’m marrying this guy,” she seems to say

Thuan and Thy met in school and have been dating since then. UW is Thuan’s alma mater.

One of my faves. Thuan was trying to keep Thy warm

Gosh, love!

That dress is cute, I’ll say it again! And perhaps only because Thy is tiny!

Thy in a tree! She was such a sport, eager to get that shot despite having to hike up her skirt and go tree climbing. Love this shot, taken right after she made it up. She looks so happy up there!

Thuan looks relieved to be up there with his love. All for the sake of a good picture

They could’ve stayed up there forever and nobody would know

Still pretty despite not being in full bloom.

See you in guys for your wedding in July!

I met Kit through my fabulous assistant Cindy when I was back in Malaysia. This gorgeous lass has the looks to be a model. Which is GREAT for me

And Kevin isn’t too bad either!

Found this lovely door at Jalan Alor.

Such tender moments!

I second-shot with the fab Lawrence Kim for this Chinese wedding. Irony is this is my first Chinese wedding (I’m Chinese). It was good fun, really colorful and I learnt a lot from Lawrence.

Beautiful tea cups for the tea ceremony.
