Olivia and Billy, engaged!
I met Olivia and Billy for a sunny shoot at the Olympic Sculpture Park, one of my favorite places in Seattle. Their wedding will be held at Benaroya Hall; Olivia’s dad worked on the building’s construction. It’s a place where she’d always thought she’d like to get married. I love the geometric pattern of…

Monica and Jason, engaged!
I did the quintessential Seattle photo shoot for Monica and Jason’s engagement pictures. The gum wall in Post Alley (even grosser close up). Victor Steinbrueck Park, with a view of West Seattle. The fountain at Westlake Plaza. Rachel, the bronze piggy bank at Pike Place. By 7 p.m., Pike Place was emptied of its…

Scott and Elissa’s wedding
Scott and his beautiful bride, Elissa, have been together for nine years. This weekend, they tied the knot at McMenamins Edgefield, just outside Portland. Chris and I attended the wedding (Scott is our cousin) and I couldn’t resist taking a few pictures. Bundles of delicate flowers decorated the seats. Elissa’s mom watching her daughter walk…

Jing and Peter: the party!
The evening was packed with entertainment: a live band, two musically gifted friends and a comedian kept things rocking. Peter’s parents on the dance floor. It’s not hard to see where Peter gets his good nature and easy smile. John shares a dance with my friend Chi. Earlier, he’d pulled off a terrific guitar performance…

Jing and Peter’s reception
After the ceremony, the wedding guests moved indoors for a cocktail reception followed by dinner. Live orchids decorated each table in the conservatory. Passed hor d’oeuvres included beef wellingtons, mushroom and goat cheese strudel and chicken skewers. A seafood station offered shrimp, oysters and lobster claws. Yum! Peter’s mom at the reception. A…

Boston Public Garden
We took a short ride to Boston Public Garden for pictures. Did you ever read Make Way for Ducklings? It’s one of my favorite children’s books, and I got to ride the famous swan boat! A horse (carrying a police officer) stopped for a quick smooch. Jing and Peter’s parents, aunts and uncles.…

Harvard Faculty Club
After Jing and Peter got dressed, I made portraits of them inside the Harvard Faculty Club. The light in the hallway was absolutely perfect, like a Vermeer painting.

Jing gets ready
Jing booked an appointment at Yen Salon in Boston’s Chinatown. Not only was the price right, but these are professionals who understand Asian hair and Asian makeup. So important! This deedee was such a good boy. His mom’s hair appointment started before we arrived and she was nowhere near done when we…

Jing’s wedding dress
We rolled into a David’s Bridal in suburban Boston at 5 p.m. on Saturday in search of a dress. The wedding would be in exactly 24 hours. I love the way Jing doesn’t sweat the trivial stuff. This cool and composed lady is a doctor, for heavens sake. This poofy dress was beautiful, but overwhelming on my…

Jing and Peter, engaged!
Jing and I have been friends since we were 12 years old. (That’s seventh grade, Levy Lions!) Over the years, we’ve bounced all over the country — Buffalo, Philadelphia, San Jose, Boston, Seattle, Baltimore — but somehow we always stayed close. I was so honored Jing asked me to shoot her wedding in Boston this past…
