Wong Family Portraits

Last week, I had the wonderful opportunity to photograph the Wong family in Seattle. This was the morning after my long drive back home from Lincoln City, Oregon (see previous post). Needless to say I was still tired. But I LOVE shooting portraits :)

I met Jenny through Ronnie (from the Abad family). Jenny, James, Quinn and their dog Kula were fun to photograph! We started with a quick family portrait, then walked to the park and ferry dock and finished back at their home for some more "relaxed" photos. Here are a few images from their session:

Have a great week!

Jennie and Casey

I'm STILL tired from this weekend :) But Lindsey and I had a BLAST at Jennie and Casey's wedding. They had an intimate ceremony on the shores of Lincoln City, Oregon and it couldn't have been more perfect! Casey is a self-proclaimed minimalist and it really showed on Satruday. There were a total of about 14 immediate family members attending this special day.







The soft breeze complimented the hot sun and the miles and miles of view off the Pacific Ocean perfected the setting. It was absolutely beautiful! Jennie and Casey are currently on their honeymoon at the San Juan islands right now, so this slideshow will be somewhat of a welcome home surprise for them :)

By the way, it was both Jennie's and Casey informed us that it was both of their parents' wedding anniversaries that weekend, so it was somewhat of a triple celebration! Congratulations to all :)

Enjoy!

Abad Family Portraits - 2008 :)

Phew, it's been a busy weekend! With my best friend getting married this past Friday (08/08/08) -- see previous post -- and a family portrait shoot, it was hard to find time to enjoy the weekeend. It's okay, I LOVE shooting portraits!!

I photographed Allen's side of the family last year (you'll remember I blog'd about it on this post: http://asencilimaging.blogspot.com/2007/07/abad-family-portraits.html) And since Ronnie's family was in town for her sister's wedding this past weekend, I photographed her side too :)

Check out their photo slideshow here: www.asencilimaging.com/abad. It's always a blast to photograph their family!!

Have a great week :)

Kristine and Jon's Wedding Album is here!

...And it's HUGE!!

Lindsey and I photographed Kristine and Jon's wedding in Honolulu in April. Lindsey loved Hawaii so much that she's already planning our next trip out there next year -- if you or anyone you know is getting married in Hawaii and needs a photographer, contact me soon as I'm already booking for 2009 :) :)

Anyway, here are a few images of the finished product:

The painted doves were amazing! AND, the bird guy trains them all to fly back home after they're let out during the ceremony.


Fun bridal party.


It even comes with a cool, floral slip cover to help make the album last 100+ years.


I wasn't the only photog there ;)


The details were amazing!


The beautiful bride :)



I also had the opportunity to personally deliver the album to the couple. They're eyes lit up when they saw how big it was :) :)

Here they are:







Huge huh?

You can view their COMPLETE album design at: www.asencilimaging.com/raquel/albumdesign.

Have a great day!

Have a great week!

Kristine and Jon's Wedding Album Design is up

Aloha!

Lindsey and I are still having Hawaii withdrawals, and it's already been a couple weeks since we've been back! This is the exact reason I love first-handedly build my own albums for my customers. Alot of photographers outsource the albums to other designers, completely disconnecting themselves from this aspect of their "services". I not only have the opportunity to ensure that every album is one-of-a-kind, but I also get to re-live my experience shooting their special day.

I thoroughly enjoyed building Kristine and Jon's album for these exact reasons. Lindsey and I had a blast on the island and would LOVE to fly back :) Especially to photograph a wedding as beautiful as Kristine and Jon's ;)

Anyway, here are a few images from their HUGE book:

And here's the link to the slideshow:

Let them know what YOU think about their album by leaving a comment here. I know Kristine constantly "stalks" this blog, so I'm sure they'll appreciate all the congratulatory greetings.

Right now, I'm currently working on getting ALL of their images online for folks to view and purchase on my e-store (www.asencilimaging.instaproofs.com). Once I get those up, I'll write about it here...

Make sure to SUBSCRIBE to my blog to receive automatic notifications of blog updates, new albums, e-store gift certificates, etc.

Until next time, MAHALO!

Baby Miya - Preview Slideshow

I had the opportunity this weekend to photograph 2-month old Miya and her family this past weekend. They were ALL very hospitible and welcomed me into their home. Oh, and they're danishes were GOOOOOOOOOD!!

I met Miya's mother, Jin, at Rose and Dennis' Wedding.

She was one of the bridesmaids and after seeing the album that we designed for Rose, she said that she HAD to contact me to photograph her newborn daughter :)

Jin's going to back to work next week, so I told her that I'd have some photos up for her to share with everyone...

Here are some images:

Michelle and Bryan's Album Design

WOW!!! What a year!!

My weddings went through the month of November... Usually by then, the wedding season slows down. Not for me though :)

I photographed Michelle and Bryan's wedding at the end of November and have been working vigorously through end-of-year duties (like Christmas shopping, LOL) to get their album design to them.

This was a beautiful wedding and the album illustrates it.

Here are a few screenshots from their album:

I know Michelle checks my blog frequently, so leave them a comment here and let them know what you think about their album :)

I hope everyone has a refreshing holiday season.

Gerry and Ellen's Wedding Album

I just delivered Gerry and Ellen's album to them last night and they were in AWWW!!

Firstly, because it was ordered a few weeks ago and it was already here (just in time for the holidays).

They loved it. The photos alone of these albums don't do any justice at all. These are BEAUTIFUL!!! Just ask them :)

Here are a few images I snapped before delivery. They ordered the biggest size!!!












































Since this was a Hawaiian wedding, my printers at www.kissweddingbooks provided me a cool island-themed slip cover to supplement this piece of art! Check it out!
