Christine and Ryan

I was the FIRST “professional” to show up to Christine’s hotel and capture her getting ready for her BIG DAY – and I wasn’t even the primary photog for this event! I was the FOURTH videographer (the rover). For all you future brides, I just want you to know that I’m highly dedicated to YOUR day and I NEVER want to miss any details when I shoot.

So, as I’m filming this past Saturday, Christine says, “Okay, Mr. Video, I’m going to get dressed now, so you’re going to have to leave the room.” It was hilarious. “What… I thought you wanted shots of ALL the details, LOL?!?” So as I’m walking back through the main hallway at the W HOTEL in Seattle, I realize, her real photog isn’t even there yet. She even placed her rings, shoes and LOVE lettter from Ryan nicely on the bed for him to photograph, but he wasn’t even there! It’s okay, A. Sencil Imaging to the rescue!!!

I run back and ask if she wants me to take some quick stills of her stuff before she puts them on. She was glad I asked! So, I took a few.

I was getting into the groove of it, when Christine gets a call from the Concierge informing her that her photographer has arrived. I put my Nikon away and continue to record video as if nothing happened… LOL, it was pretty entertaining! As much as I wanted to continue photographing through the afternoon and capture these beautiful newlyweds, I knew that would be VERY UNprofessional of me - I was there to shoot video.

Anyway here are a few shots from the wedding. I’m not selling these, so don’t even ask, LOL! I just wanted to share with you how beautiful the bride was and how excited/eager/anxious we all were to see her tie the knot to her loving husband, Ryan! Thanks, guys, for letting me share that day with you.

BTW, this is just a warm-up to Rose and Dennis’ wedding I’m going to shoot Labor Day weekend. I can’t wait… Check out the webpage I’ve started for them BY CLICKING HERE.

I’ll have my associate photographer AND my trusty partner (so that makes THREE of us) to cover ALL angles of THEIR day. We won’t miss anything! And you shouldn't either! Subscribe to this blog to get all the up-to-the-hour A. Sencil Imaging updates. Until then... Love!

Ariel you are a true pro! I'm just sorry that we already commited to a photographer before finding out that you took photos. Thanks for stepping in and helping with the video. I haven't gotten a chance to look at any of it yet but I have no doubts. You are the first person I will recommend you when another family event comes up that needs a professional photog.
