We just received the new Seattle Metropolitan Bride and Groom Magazine in the mail and we got to see the full page "La Belle Reve" ad that featured our photo!!! (see our
previous post about it for details) The ad is on the 4th page of the magazine!!! Super cool. It reminded me that we still haven't posted any photos from the shoot in France! Below is a small sample of them...
The photo above is the shot I dreamt of taking... yes, it's cliche, but it's Paris!!!! Who cares :)
Amanda was awesome, she had no fear... she would climb up on things without me even asking... the photo above was taken in a big square in central Paris (in front of the Hotel de Ville). It was actually the first outfit on our first day of shooting!
The outfit above is called the "Audry" and I really think it is perfectly French :).
I think the makeup above was my favorite of the whole trip, it was done at the end of a long day of shooting and I couldn't believe how different Amanda looked. We had decided to shoot the last photos of the day in the cemetery and we wanted a look that matched the tombstones and the dim light, it was perfect... Erin, we LOVE you!!!! If you ever need your makeup or hair done I highly recommend you call
Erin Skipley of Bellatrix Studio!
It was really fun to shoot fashion at the chateau, I've taken many photos in the past of the hallway above.... a few times empty, once with my cousin Azure in it, and once with Adam and my brother playing Frisbee in it (no joke, it's a big hallway!) but I think this was my favorite... Amanda seemed to fit perfectly there.
The photo above was fun to do, Adam and I were married in front of that fireplace 4 years ago!!!
The photos above and below are the last fashion photos we took on our trip, it was hard to be done... we had such a great time!!
The photo below is the designer,
Madina Vadache's "finale dress" ... it was a fun one to photograph!
I had to show another of Adam's crowd photos, the one below was taken in Paris... you can see how many people typically lined up to watch Amanda, I wouldn't even realize it until we were done because I was looking through the lens non-stop.
We had a really great time in the metro in Paris at night, not your typical photo shoot...
In the spirit of our last post I thought it would be fun to put up some photos from a recent wedding where we set up a photo booth. It was the coolest thing... I totally recommend it for parties! It was super easy, we put an extra camera on a tripod with a flash and hooked up one of those remote cables so that you could sit in the "booth" and still take your photo. It was so much fun to see what we came up with...
I love the couple below... I watched them try several attempts at these shots until they got them "just right" (we didn't crop them at all)... so funny!
A groomsman could not make the wedding, so the bride and groom had a mannequin there with a photo of his face taped to it. The mannequin even had the same tux as the rest of the groomsmen and was in the ceremony! :) In the series below the girls brought him into the photo booth and had a great time, they said they wanted to send him the photos later to show him what he missed!
The kids below had so much fun with the photo booth, the little boy even acted as photographer/booth operator to the delight of all of the guests, until he passed out on a nearby couch! So cute.
The Bride and Groom were so great... I think they truly thought of everything, at the end of the night they even had fresh Dick's hamburgers and cheeseburgers delivered! (For those of you who aren't familiar with Seattle, "Dick's is the place where the cool hang out!" :))
