Edwin + Monette Engagement Shoot
Edwin and Monette are engaged and will soon to be married next month. They like to do things last minute so here we are shooting an engagement just a month before their special day. Monette loves the water and Edwin just goes with the flow. I shared the “S” curve with Monette, so let’s see if you guys can see it.
We walked around the UW Campus waterfront and Lake Washington. Edwin and Monette were naturals in front of the camera and I was completely giddy the whole time. I had such a hard time of narrowing down my favorites, but below are a few of them.
I used an umbrella and a flash, with various lens for this shoot.
Enjoy!
Christopher + Beza's Wedding
It was a true pleasure to be able to be part of Christopher and Beza’s wedding. Both side of the family were fun, fun, fun! I told Beza to press the “play” button on the day of the wedding when she woke up. At 9am in the morning, I texted her to remind her to press the play button. Surprisingly, I received a text back thanking me for the reminder but she had already did it. I thought for sure she would be too busy to even have a cell phone by her. The day of wedding was full of laughters and happy tears and things just happened when it happened. The food was to die for and the mix of culture all blended into one. The dances; all I can say is WOW! The music was full of energy and kudos to Christopher for holding his own.
I was so blessed to be able to be a apart of their wedding day.
Karim + Sokhon Engagement
Karim and Sokhon are getting married in August. When I first met with the couple I told them that I wanted to shoot in the middle of the street in Downtown Seattle and wondered if they were up to it. Both were very excited of the idea, so we met at 7am on Sunday morning. Traffic was light but it was bearable. A Police Officer drove by us a couple of times and just smiled; I knew she was probably thinking I was crazy. All I can say is that we had a blast! Shot in downtown and then visited UW campus to finish off the shoot. They really are smitten with each other and I'm so honored to get to know them and be a part of their upcoming wedding!
I used 2 flashes and a 45 inch umbrella for most of the shots here. I used my 24mm 1.4 lens for the wide shot at the Convention Center and the rest was my 85mm 1.2ii.
Dina Pin
Meet Dina Pin - Modeling has always been a natural for her and she is currently doing it as a hobby. Right now, she is building her portfolio and I am happy that I can be part of that process. Besides shooting pictures for fun, she will be graduating from school in less than a year and hopefully transfer to UW to get a degree in Sports Management. She's a total girly girl, but growing up with her 2 brothers brings out her tomboy ways. She was a total natural when the camera and lights were on her. Makes my job easier as a photographer since she knows what she wants.
Special thanks to her sister in law and brother (Monica and Thet) who came along for the ride to assist with the lighting. For the most of the photos here I used my canon 85mm 1.2ii and 2 flash; 1 for rim and 1 for main light.
Enjoy!

The lens I used for the shots here was my 16-35mm just to capture the beautiful sunset. I also used 2 canon bare flash for fill light.
