I didn't know dentists could have so much fun. :)

Rosana and Mike were married on 10/10/09 and I had the privilege of partaking in their joyous union and celebration. The day started off at the Bellevue Hyatt, where the bride and groom were getting ready separately. As I was visiting the bride and groom, it struck me how the environment of the guys' and gals' rooms were. The ladies room was filled with excitement and anticipation as the bride was preparing her hair, her make-up (waterproof mascara a must!), putting on the wedding dress and so forth. The guys's room, on the other hand, was a lot more relaxed as the groom was putting on his tux and the groomsmen were sprawled over the bed watching ESPN. But still, I could tell Mike was eager to see his beautiful bride as his hands were shuffling back and forth and his feet were pacing across the room.

The wedding was held at the beautiful St. James Cathedral near downtown Seattle and although they had to find a last second replacement for the cross bearer, all went well without a hitch. The reception was in the new Evergreen Ballroom of the Bellevue Hyatt. As the bride and groom walked into the reception alongside Egyption folkloric dancers and band, you could tell immediately it was going to be a fun night.

It was a pleasure to work with Craig of Chic Sound Productions and Jane Lee Photography. Thanks to George for helping with the shoot and most of all, thank to Rosana & Mike for a wonderful day. Congratulations to you both!!

I had the pleasure of being a part of an uplifting love story of two people destined to be together. Their story is one of true love, adoration, patience, grace and encouragement. And they are a whole lot of fun! The impact they have on others was on full display as their family and friends witnessed and celebrated together in their joyous day.

It had rained the day before but the sun decided to come out from the clouds with all of its beaming glory this wonderful day. The wedding venue was at the Hollywood Schoolhouse in Woodinville. Emerald City Productions did a fantastic job of making sure the music and lights were set up and everyone had a good time. Heather Moore Colwill and David Frank were the photographers and they were so good to work with! Check them out! A special shout-out to George for helping with the shoot!

I enlisted the help of one of the bridesmaids to prepare a "secret" message video for the bride and groom. Tory & Phil had no clue this was coming and they were so pleasantly surprised when we showed the interview video. But they were even more surprised (as were the wedding party) when I showed the same-day edit immediately following the interviews. During the first scene I heard Tory yell out, "That was today!" Loved it. Enjoy this surprise same-day edit and congratulations again to Tory and Phil.
