Kristine and Jon Engagement Photos

A wedding in Hawaii?!!!! Yes! I'll shoot it :)

That's kind of how my meeting with Kristine went a few months ago, shortly after Jon had proposed to her…

They are an amazing couple with a lot of love for each other. A great inspiration for all couples out there.

MOSES and I had the opportunity Sunday to shoot Kristine and Jon's engagement photos. Even though, they're getting married next April, they wanted to shoot these photos early so they look "different" the day-of. They're hilarious!





Kristine's a fan (more like a self-proclaimed "stalker" LOL) of my website and visits my blog on a weekly basis. Can you blame her??? :)
With this in mind, I HAD to bring my A-game to the processing table. As a photographer, I strive to shoot, process and post images of my brides and brides-to-be within one week (usually within a few days). This one was no exception. Kristine said that she expected these photos to be online for her and Jon's viewing pleasure. And now they are!

Here's a collage with some of the photos from our shoot:

Their wedding in Hawaii will be beautiful!!! I can't wait!!!

Whitney and Jon's Engagement session

We FINALLY shot Whitney and Jon's engagement photo session this weekend. Prior to this shoot, we had canceled 3 times for one reason or another. It was well worth the wait :)

(You may remember Whitney and Jon from THIS post).

Here's a quick collage of some of this images from that day:



We're shooting their wedding in less than two months! I can't believe it's coming up around the corner.

These two are amazing individuals with alot of love for each other. They say they don't have ANY photos of them together, so this was a special shoot for them. They were very cooperative and were open to everything we had in mind -- very easy to work with. And, they're hilarious!!! We had a lot of fun doing it.

CLICK HERE to view the slideshow of more images we took that day (or click here: http://www.asencilimaging.com/whitneyandjon/engagementphotos) and let us know what you think in the comments field.

It's really picking up for us at A. Sencil Imaging. I have another engagement session this weekend, about 5 album designs in the works and a couple of weddings to shoot... Keep checking back for new photos as I update this blog regularly. Better yet -- scroll down and subscribe to my blog for automatic update notifications sent directly to your email.

Have a great weekend!!!

Tyson and Miles Turn ONE!

Tyson and Miles are my beautiful and handsome twin nephews. Twins run abundantly in my family. Rona and Adam - the boys' parents and my cousins - purchased a new home JUST in time to celebrate their very first birthday! Lots of people attended and I HAD to shoot friends and family I rarely see. There were attendants from all over Western Washington. Adam's from the Bay Area, CA, so his family made their multi-annual trip up to celebrate with us.







Like I stated earlier, I don't see them too much much, but when we get together, they know how to PARTY!!!

CLICK HERE to view their slideshow (http://www.asencilimaging.com/tysonandmiles). You'll see, the Nemo pinata was out of control. We had so much fun -- I can't wait until the next time we get together.

Until then have a great week :)

BTW, LINDSEY is currently working with Rona to personalize "Thank You" cards for the party-goers. I'll post those up here once they're finalized.

Rachel's Response to her e-session :) :)

OMG, we love them so much! Thank you so very much for your time and effort.
I can't wait til you shoot the wedding! How should we go about getting the actual photos? THANKS AGAIN, IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

Thank you again Rachel for the opportunity to shoot your engagement portraits. I can't wait until your wedding on 07/07/07.

As you can see by Rachel's timestamp, I had their photos processed, BLOG'd, SLIDESHOW'd, E-STORE'd, viewed and commented all in less than 24 hours!!! I've streamlined my workflow to minimize processing, allowing me to nurture the relationships I build with my subjects/customers. I LOVE IT!!! Not very many other photographers can offer that ;)

Rachel and Jaime Engagement Photos :)

Rachel and Jaime came in from California on Friday to spend time with family here in the Pacific Northwest. Since I'm shooting their wedding on 07/07/07, we decided to shoot their engagement photos while they were up here. We went to Redondo in Federal Way yesterday and it was AWESOME!!! With the water, private gazebo and blossoming roses (well, in the spring), I have a new place to shoot portraits :)

They're on a plane back to the Bay Area right now, but had a quick opportunity to check out their images online. YOU CAN TOO :)

We were supposed to shoot their engagement photos a couple weeks ago when I went down to Seaside, California, but because of my tight schedule, that fell through. We ALMOST weren't able to shoot yesterday because of the gloomy weather, but the rain held off and I busted out the Nikons for fun engagement shoot!

Rachel and Jaime are GREAT in front of the camera and both were fun to shoot. They take instruction constructively and that made this an awesome experience. We are going to have SO much fun shooting their wedding in California next Summer.

Thanks, Rachel and Jaime... Let me be the first to congratulate and wish you two the best of luck with the life ahead together!

Until then, enjoy SOME of MY favorite images below:

Rose's Album is Complete!!!

Phew!!! They’re wedding was a week ago and I’m still exhausted from shooting SIXTEEN HOURS!!! It was well worth it though! We captured many BEAUTIFUL images. Everything about the wedding was amazing.

ALBUM DESIGN is a service I provide to my customers. Believe me, it takes a lot to build albums and frankly not everyone has that time to do so – that’s why not every photographer does it. I DO!!! I LOVE IT!!! It gives me an opportunity to present the photos uniquely and professionally. As a photographer, it’s not only my privedge but my RESPONSIBILITY to provide a product that my customers can cherish and share proudly for the rest of their lives!

I JUST finished ROSE AND DENNIS' album. Remember, this is a rough draft and Rose has the final say before this goes off to the printing presses.

Getting Ready at Expo Salon

As promised, here are some "getting ready" images from the Expo Beauty Salon. I met Rose here at 7:30 yesterday morning. Some say it was early, but I thought it was well worth it. I shot hundreds of images at this location and it was a great starter to the day's events. At the end of it all, MOSES and LINDSEY had shot 16 folders-worth of images!!! That's insane for us, but GREAT for Rose and Dennis -- I've already started processing some of them and they look AMAZING!!! Amazing bride... Amazing venue(s)... AMAZING WEDDING!!!

The image above is JUST a preview. Bookmark this blog and check back shortly for MORE images!!!

Rose and Dennis

Rose and Dennis are a local couple and are getting married in September. Moses and I shot their engagement session on Sunday. They were great! Very open-minded to our ideas, what to shoot and the like. They made it really easy for Lindsey to pose them. What a beautiful couple!

I can't wait to shoot their wedding at Sunset Hill Park in North Seattle and The Fairmont Olympic Hotel in Downtown Seattle -- both beautiful locations for portraits!
