I had the pleasure of photographing Gwen’s lovely bridal shower at a private residence looking out to Lake Washington.  My close friend Pearl hosted the shower and did a beautiful job planning it around a “tea party” theme.  Gwen is now a married woman as I post this.  Congrats!!

I also got to contribute to the delicious food spread.  I’ve been baking a lot lately.  The coconut meringue cupcakes and pink champagne fondant cake were made by…. me!  The hubby helped decorate the cake (he’s got the muscles to work with fondant).  I guess if this photography thing doesn’t work out, I  can always open a bakery!  Just kidding….

Penny + Danny had a wedding reception last Fall at the Asian Resource Center in Seattle’s Chinatown-International District.  When you have a huge family like these two it’s hard to find a venue big enough to accommodate everyone.  If anyone is familiar with the ARC then you know that it’s a huge gym room, but Penny and Danny’s wedding coordinator did a great job with drapings and up-lighting along the circumference of the room that it didn’t feel like you’re in a gym at all.  They had a traditional Mien wedding/reception for their families and are hoping to have a more intimate celebration later this year.  We arrived for the “western” portion of their reception and set-up a photobooth station for the guests.  Penny and Danny just celebrated their 10th year anniversary together as a couple last month so this blog post is dedicated to them.  Congrats and we wish them a whole life time head!

Penny had a convertible dress.  The bottom half zips off.  I always thought they were cool, but never actually seen one until this night.

Love her red lips!  Definitely something not just anyone can pull off.

The unconventional first look with an audience.

The wedding dress converted into a dance party dress here!
