Part II of Ronelda + Dexter’s blog post – their wedding/family portraits. Since their wedding day was a busy and jam packed day we decided to do a post wedding shoot. This actually worked out better with the kids since it gave us more time and provided a stress-free environment for all. We headed out to the University of Washington campus for the wedding portraits. What I enjoyed the most that day was watching the way Ronelda and Dexter interacted and looked at each other. They had the same look from their wedding day, full of love, joy, smiles and happiness. Or maybe that’s how they look at each other everyday. It’s a contagious look, one that makes me smile and happy just remembering that day. Aren’t they just a beautiful and picture perfect family? They also ordered a flushmount wedding album. The album should be arriving in about two weeks and we’re ALL very excited for it! We’ll definitely post some pictures when it gets here.
One of our sweetest couples/clients turned friends – Ronelda and Dexter got married back in June at the Renton Community Center. It was a beautiful summer day in June. As we all know around here summer doesn’t officially start until the day after July 4th. The groom and groomsmen arrived to the ceremony on their bikes and the bride made a grand entrance in a 1964 Impala with the top down. Ronelda and Dexter had a traditional Catholic ceremony combined with traditional Filipino customs, but the couple also incorporated a lot of their personalities and interests into their wedding day. Afterwards, it was one big party with their dearest families and closest friends. Do I really need to say more about Filipino weddings? BTW, I’m sure I witnessed quite possibly the best cake fight ever that night and at the end of the night I packed enough pancit to last me at least three meals. =) This has been a long overdue post, but stay tune for part II coming very, very soon!
Here it is – part two of Ronelda and Dexter’s engagement session. After we got done with the car and bike we stumbled across this house with a very interesting yard. I couldn’t resist so we HAD to take some pictures there. It was fun poking around and noticing some cool things in the garden and then it was off to Alki beach down the street. I’ve never seen it at low tide before so we were able to go underneath one of the piers for some shots as well. Ronelda and Dexter were so easy to work with and were naturals in front of the camera. Can’t wait for their wedding later this month!
One night while out celebrating a co-worker’s friend’s birthday a few months ago, I had a conversation with one of the girls about her wedding plans since I knew she was getting married. Everything was coming together and all she had left major to do was find a DJ. I think I asked “who’s your photographer?” just cause I was curious. It was then when I found out that I was the wedding photographer. Seriously? Woohoo, hired on the spot! I was both shocked and flattered. Ever since that night we’ve been trying to schedule an engagement session and we finally made it happen last month. We started off the shoot incorporating their car and bike as props. I haven’t known Ronelda and Dexter that long, but I’m sure anyone who knows them will know that this is very fitting of them. They originally wanted to go to the race track. However, the place they frequent had an event on the day of the shoot. That’s alright ’cause we made Alki beach (and the West Seattle bridge) our playground instead.
Come back soon for part two!
