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...
We are total dorks... I wasn't even completely in the booth for the first shot (above, upper left).
This month we've been working on a new La Vie Photography website (we'll let you know when it goes live, yeah!) and giving wedding photos back to some great couples from last year. We've also done a bunch of family portraits.... here are a few examples:
How cute are those girls!!! We had such a great time with this family :) Emily and Marcus are fantastic parents... this shoot was at 8:30am (we finally found a time when it wasn't raining!) but the kids were so well behaved, they even brought their dog with them!
Emily and Marcus were afraid the photos weren't going to turn out because the girls were being so silly, they had a ton of energy :) but I think that made for more fun and even better photos!
The little guy below was the son of the Bride and Groom at an October wedding, he even wore a kilt! His Grandparents are on the right... they were so proud :).
I absolutely loved the color palette of the flowers for the wedding above on the right... and below. The florist was T.J. Montague from Garden Party I really think her work is amazing!
I have continued to go through our France photos these past few weeks and I just found the photo below that our good friend Michelle took while we were in France on a walk around the chateau property... it was such a beautiful day, it takes me right back there!
