Mary didn't want me to post this up until we printed the Save the Dates. Breaking news -- I sent her the printed copies today so their slideshow is online now!

Here's a sampling for your enjoyment:

They were engaged in August, we shot their photos in September and their wedding is next June at the Golf Club at Newcastle. I'm really excited to shoot there -- amazing views of Seattle and the Eastside. I can't wait!

Congratulations Mary and Sam :)

Lisa and Nathan - Engagement Photos

Lisa and Nathan were alot of fun to work with. It was hard for them to NOT smile :) I'm photographing their wedding in Everett on August 22nd -- SO excited for it!

Before that though, we had the chance to spend a few hours shooting their engagement session at the University of Washington campus this weekend.

The photos turned out GREAT! Here are a few snapshots:

Have a great week!

Judy and Darren - They Will on 8/8/09

It's been awhile since I've posted photos! After Mocha had two puppies, my photography focus was on them :) But, now that they've gone to new homes (homes in which they'll be the NUMBER ONE dogs), I'm able to re-focus on my current family and weddings... Great timing, as I have a couple weddings lined up in August.

With wedding photography comes engagement photos. I had TWO this weekend -- great way to get back into the swing of things, huh? ;)

First up is Judy and Darren. Lindsey and I shot their photos at Kubota Garden yesterday and it was alot of fun, but really HOT! Judy and I were encountering scheduling problems throughout the day, but in the end, we made it work.

Here are a couple of images:

I'll have more photos up shortly... I just have to cool down :)

Kim and Alex - Engagement Session in San Francisco

Lindsey and I had the amazing opportunity to visit San Francisco this weekend to photograph the wedding of Kim and Alex. We had ALOT of fun working with them and they were more interested in the fun we were having on our trip than their special day!

You may remember Kim from Kristine and Jon's wedding in Hawaii. Kim was Kristine's Maid-of-Honor and we've been friends ever since... After this weekend, Lindsey and I have found a friend for life!

We photographed their engagement session on Friday all over the city. They showed us so much of the city's landmarks, like the the famous Golden Gate Bridge, the Palace Legion Honor and the Palace of Fine Arts, just to name a few. The highlights of the session were when Kim snatched the camera from my hands to take some pictures of Lindsey and me! So much fun :)

Here are a few images:

I'm still trying to catch up on some work, but I already have a preview of their wedding photos in the hopper. I'll have to keep you in suspense for a few days, but I promise you will NOT be disappointed -- I'll also have more of their story too (including Kim's upcoming coast-to-coast move). If you attended their wedding on Sunday, then you've already seen the preview to the preview ;)

Until then, have a great, short week!

Stacy and Steve - Engagement Photos

Here are some photos of Stacy and Steve during their e-session last week. They're getting married at the Thornewood Castle in Lakewood, with their reception at Emerald Downs in Auburn and I have the honor to be their photographer.

We were limited with light as this was a post-dusk photoshoot, but we made the most of it. Stacy and Steve are alot of fun to work with!

(PS - Steve is an awesome wedding photographer. Check out his portfolio at Imaginessence.com)

Check out some images:











Check back next week for their wedding photos :)

Leah and Corey - Engagement Photos

This has been a beautiful week! Leah, Corey, their friends and I met at the Space Needle and EMP yesterday to shoot their engagement session yesterday and with the sun blazing at 90+ degrees, we Publish Posthad a fun time. The weather was gorgeous... and so was the couple:

We're going to have alot of fun at their wedding in October.

Vanessa and Ram are Getting Married...

...NEXT WEEK!! Lindsey and I photographed their engagement session on Saturday. We had a blast :) btw, Vanessa and Lindsey were former co-workers at their day job...


Vanessa and Ram can't seem to stop laughing and smiling... We're going to have alot of fun shooting their wedding next week. It's going to be at Point Defiance Park in Tacoma, and that's where we shot their e-session.

It's a beautiful venue!! This is my first photography sessions out at Point Defiance Park, but it's definitely NOT my last.

Here are some of the images:

Have a great week!

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:






Also, click HERE (or here: http://www.asencilimaging.com/kristineandjonengagementphotos) to view their cool slideshow. I know Kristine's reading this, so send her a quick comment and let her know what you think.

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

Putheavy and Rey's Engagement Photos

I had the wonderful opportunity to shoot the engagement photos. Putheavy and Rey are getting married on Labor Day weekend.

You can see more about them HERE.

Here’s a quick shot I took as we were winding down:



They say they’re pretty much done with all the planning and details and stuff. Now they’re just waiting for the big day! Personally, I can’t wait for their reception at CHINA HARBOR!

We had so much fun on Saturday at Kabota Garden, Alki Beach and Hamilton Viewpoint . We spent almost SIX hours shooting.

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 :)

Click HERE to view their slideshow (or CLICK HERE: www.asencilimaging.com/rachelandjaimeengagementphotos).

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:
