OK, most of you know that I love doing Same Day Edits for our couples. I mean LOVE them! And lucky for us, a HUGE majority of our clients love them too! Joohee and Mike were no exception! They were referred to us by their fabulous wedding planner, Ellen Peterson from Serenity Weddings. We have been working with Ellen for over 6 years and I just can’t say good enough things about her! The only problem was that we were already booked on the date that Joohee and Mike were considering for their wedding in July. But since they hadn’t put down any deposits on their venue yet, they decided to meet with us and see what happened.

The second that Joohee and Mike walked in the door, Chris and I instantly adored them and we chatted for a LONG time, watched lots of videos, had some good laughs, and they ultimately decided to change their date to one that we had open and booked Hotel 1000 as their venue. I was so excited to work with them, and honored that working with us was important enough to partially base their wedding date on our availability! We’ve actually had that happen several times this year, including two destination weddings in Hawaii and Houston). We must be getting good at this or something! LOL!!

A few days before the wedding, Joohee and Mike said that they would like us to chose the music for their Same Day Edit and I already had the perfect song in mind. So on the morning of the wedding we set out early to get some time-lapse shots with our nifty Canon 5D Mark II cameras that are the light of my life (next to my family, of course!). When Humberto (my fantabulous assistant!) and I got to the bridal suite Joohee was practically jumping with excitement and she looked gorgeous!! I was blown away by her dress and had a great time getting lots of detail shots. Meanwhile the boys were getting ready and goofing around in the Boardroom and Chris was capturing it all. The day flowed flawlessly from there with their cute First Glance, photo session with Dana Pleasant at the Seattle Library and the Harbor Steps and then a sweet ceremony on the terrace.

The reception was amazing! Hotel 1000 did an incredible job of making sure every detail was taken care of, including dual screens to show off the Same Day Edit! The ballroom was GORGEOUS, the food was to die for, the service was excellent, the Same Day Edit rocked the place and let me tell you that these people know how to party!! DJ Lance Daly spun tunes out on the terrace that made everyone dance so much that the floor was literally shaking under my feet! There was a photobooth by 321 Foto and Humberto and I even took a minute to take some silly pictures which I might share someday. (I really do need to do a blog post about him!).

So here is their Same Day Edit and I can’t wait to share the reception footage with you later on when it’s ready! Enjoy!
