A talent I really wish I had is the ability to sing.  I don’t mean to be able to sound like Whitney Houston or Celine Dion.  I’d just be happy to have vocals that is at least karaoke worthy you know?  Truthfully, I don’t even know if I’ve ever even heard myself sing.  In my mind I think I’m that horrific.  In high school, I told myself that when I have a boyfriend that I would sing to him Lauryn Hill’s Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You.  *Ahem* This was before I realized I couldn’t sing.  A boyfriend and a husband later I’ve yet to murmur a single line of those lyrics.  I’ve always dreamed of singing to my husband-to-be on our wedding day, but that was all that would transpire out of it… just a dream.  I think it’s just the sweetest thing when a bride or groom or both sing their love to one another.  That’s exactly what Jacqueline and Tony did on their wedding day.  It was okay that I didn’t understand a single Vietnamese word because  I didn’t need to know what they were singing about to know how they felt about each other.  I felt it too and it just melted my heart.

Jacqueline and Tony got married over a month ago at the beautiful Newcastle Golf Club.  I was really excited because I’ve never been there before.  I’ve only seen amazing pictures of other people’s wedding there, so yes I was SUPER excited!  I want to thank J+T for the permission and opportunity to shoot over the shoulders and off the radar of their hired wedding photographers.  Thanks again guys for having me at your wedding, both behind the scenes and amongst your family and friends!  Now I want to share some of my favorite captured moments from their wedding.  

First off I just want to say congratulations to Elisa and Steve who got married yesterday!  I’m a little behind on my blog entries so I’m finally posting some pictures from their engagement session.  About a month ago I took engagement photos for my sister Elisa and my future brother in-law Steve.  I have to admit that at first it was really weird for me, for my sister, and maybe Steve too.  There were plenty of “ewww” moments when Elisa and Steve had to give each other kisses and other affectionate gestures.  For those who know us can you just imagine the torture?  Haha, just kidding (a little).  It was pouring rain on my way to meet them for the photoshoot.  The rain finally let up right when we arrived at our first location.  Thank goodness!  We were able to get in some photos at Lincoln Park in West Seattle, and then we moved over to California Ave for a change of scenery.  All these places appeared random at first but I as learned during the photo session each place holds a special place in the couple’s hearts and memories.
