It was a fantastic day for a wedding! The weather was perfect for an outdoor ceremony and outdoor reception. It was the first time I had ever photographed a Thornewood Castle wedding reception outside since all my past clients have had them inside. It was also the first time I’ve photographed a duel wedding ceremony at a venue which included a Vietnamese tea ceremony followed by an American wedding. Normally, I photograph the tea ceremonies starting very early in the morning at a home then go to the venue to photograph the wedding. It was actually nice being all in one place since the day didn’t involve any other travel than just driving there from Seattle.

Jessica and Kyler’s first look brought tears to my eyes photographing it and editing the photos later. It reminded me of the first look I had with my wife. As you can see from the photos below, the day was filled with love, tears of joy, laughter, and good times. Congrats to Jessica and Kyler!!!
