Heather & Eugene’s was my first wedding of 2012 and it was a great way to start off the year. So much fun, tradition and celebration- it was definitely an event that celebrated the joining of not just two people, but two families. Since I haven’t been posting many shoots in this slow season (and as I prepare to launch my new blog and portfolio site) I wanted to post a lot from this wedding. Here are all of my favorites from the day!
And click here to see their engagement session we shot back in May of last year.
Eugene is a Captain in the Army so he proudly wore his uniform. Loved.

Heather looked stunning.

Heather & Eugene and I made sure to schedule plenty of time for portraits before the ceremony, so we had plenty of time to experiment with light…
… and to explore the grounds of their venue a bit.
When there’s a sword at a wedding, you just have to take advantage…
The ceremony.
A few more portraits in more pretty light right after the ceremony.
Then it was time for the traditional Korean PaeBaek Ceremony. I have shot this type of ceremony once before and absolutely love the tradition. The clothes and everything are so colorful, and it’s just a fun, important, long-lived tradition in the Korean culture.
Possibly my favorite part of the whole ceremony is when the groom gives his bride a piggy-back ride around the ceremonial table.
And then he gives one to his mom… 🙂
The wedding party.
The first dance.
Congratulations, Heather & Eugene!
Thanks Heather for the awesome photos! We look forward to working with you again in the future and it was fun getting to know you!
