Hung Et Eric - July 22nd 2008

Flash player required.

Hung and Eric started out the day with some portraiture by a nearby park where they often walk after work. The day was overcast and gave us beautiful ‘giant softbox’ quality light. Then it was off to the Bellevue Botanical Gardens for some fun with their attendants. I love the little tea house they have there mixed in with the gardens! It’s so cute!

Their ceremony was held at Bellevue Unitarian Church near Factoria. They have a gorgeous view of the woods out the back of the sanctuary. It’s basically just a wall of windows and I loved it. Once we finished family photos Hung changed into her traditional Chinese wedding attire for their tea ceremony. I love how ornate it is! All that bead work and color! Fantastic!

Right before the western ceremony I could see Eric and his brother getting a little nervous waiting in the back hall. It’s almost time guys!

Their service was very touching and it was really evident how much these two care for each other and welcome God into their hearts.

At the reception we were all treated to a divine and especially rare treat. Hung’s mom is one of only a few that still makes a traditional cake from scratch which takes her HOURS to prepare, layer by layer. It was truly a work of art and was delicious too! I’m still planning on sitting in her kitchen someday soon so she can teach me how to make it!

Grace and Eric, it was so much fun being with you on your wedding day! Thanks for having me along and I can’t wait to share all of your photos with you when you’re back up to the studio.
