I’m sorry for all the bug bites!!! But, they’ll all clear up before your wedding day — I promise! hehe!

NOTE: The violinist was just pure luck! He was already sitting on the bench when we arrived at the park. SCORE!!!

    I absolutely LOVE the photo where Lou is looking at Liza from afar and she is looking at the camera-- Liza looks ultra glamorous, naturally! These two are so adorable! Can't wait for the BIG wedding next month... it's gonna be FANTABULOUS!!! :) 7:21 pm

Shots w/Arlene & Derek

Saturday, 03.01.08 | Engagements

[Seattle, Wash.] After a long courtship of eight years and a surprise sweet proposal on New Year’s Eve 2006, via a photobook with images of the ring in its box, Arlene and Derek will marry this May. But, I’ll be in Chicago for a workshop and missing out on the wedding. So, we got together to shoot their engagement instead! YAY!!!

Arlene and Derek were so cool and totally down for whatever; for one of our night shots, it was taken when we all snuck down a gated stairway because we liked the tunnel so much, a loud voice boomed over the intercom at us, “Please do not go down the stairway.” Oops! But, check out that last shot: We found a lively artist playing his acoustic guitar on the street and, to our surprise, he played Elvis Presley’s “Only Fools Rush In” just for them!!!

    Hey! Thanks for the comment. Hey! We are both Canon shooters and we use the 5D with the 15mm fish eye. Could it be the processing that you are talking about? -danielle 5:29 pm

Shots w/Nadine & Mohsen

Sunday, 01.27.08 | Engagements

She knew the moment she met him that she would marry him.

On Saturday, March 29, 2008, Nadine will marry her “love at first sight” fiancé, Mohsen. But, this won’t be just any wedding … They will marry in Cairo, Egypt! How cool is that??? I was so excited to hear their plans for this destination wedding, especially about Egypt; I just love the whole pyramid and beauty of this country. When I get to finally travel the world, Egypt will be one of my many stops, for sure. One day, I know it’ll finally happen for me.

So, as you can just imagine, I about fainted when they asked me to take a week off and join them in Cairo, Egypt — as their destination wedding photographer! OMG. WHAT!!! Wait. Um, did I just die, or am I only dreaming??? If so, then DON’T wake me!!!

It took every ounce of strength in my body to refrain from screaming “YES!” for fear of scaring the beautiful couple. I remained cool and collective on the outside, but on the inside my entire body just wanted to do somersaults and all sorts of moves that I don’t even know! So, a hundred times, a thousand times, a million times — YES, YES, YES!!! Um, did I say “yes”? YES!!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S. I’m always down for a destination wedding, no matter how far or near! HOLLA!!!
