The day after their wedding, we met up with Lydia and Joao one more time for their day after session. It was such a fun and relaxing morning! We had breakfast together, then wandered the grounds of the Four Seasons at Westlake Village with no schedule, nowhere to be, and no one else around. What a beautiful way for them to start off their first day of marriage!
A few months ago, Gerald and I were approached by the editors of a start-up online magazine, called Beauty Revolution. When asked if we would be interested in photographing for their spring issue, our response was a resounding "yes!" It ended up being such a fun experience, that we are already talking with them about their next issue. :)
Below is one of our favorite images from the shoot. The model, Rashi Stephens (2008 Miss India North America), is a beautiful woman both inside and out, and it was an absolute pleasure working with her and the rest of the BR team that day. Her gown, created by couture designer Monir Zandghoreishi was absolutely stunning and the perfect pick for this shoot.

Last weekend, Airika and I were invited to lead one of the photo shoots for OSP West. For those of you who may not know, OSP is an online forum for photographers, and this year, they gathered right here on our doorstep in beautiful Seattle for a weekend of seminars, training and of course, shooting. It was incredible to get to hang and shoot with such an talented group of photographers!
Here are a few photos from the shoot Airika and I led around Pike Place Market...thanks to the fabulous Brittany from Dolce Design for being such an incredible model (by the way, if you need a wedding invitation designer, you seriously need to check out her work)! If you were on the shoot, we'd love to see your photos too, so leave a link in the comments so we can check them out!

We look forward to hearing from you!
You may remember Kelly & Pat from one of their 2 awesome engagement sessions, or perhaps from their gorgeous wedding at The Canal last April. Well, as it so happened, it snowed in Seattle on Kelly & Pat's wedding day, which meant that their dreams of sunny outdoor portraits were thwarted. So, they contacted us and asked if they could do a post-wedding photo shoot, and we happily agreed!
We worked with Kelly & Pat to plan the theme of their session and decided that the Fairmont-Olympic Hotel in downtown Seattle and the University of Washington campus would be the best surroundings for the images we were hoping to create. Well, the weather and our locations did not disappoint and we were even lucky enough to sneak a couple of quick photos inside a cute little cafe AND the UW library, which were rare treats indeed!
Kelly & Pat, thank you for a fabulous day and for your patience while we worked on your images. We are so excited about all of them and can't wait to see them in print!
Airika & Gerald
P.S. We love love LOVE photographing Fashion Aftershoots! If you've been thinking about scheduling your own session, please let us know soon. We still have a couple of weekend dates open in September & October and we'd love to help you plan your session!
