Seattle Tennis Club Wedding Ceremony | Julie and Zach

August 5th, 2010

Yay for destination weddings. We get to meet awesome people and experience a new town, all while doing what we love. We traveled up to Seattle for Julie and Zach’s wedding; and we had a blast. They were married at the Seattle Tennis Club, a great venue with an awesome view of the water. The weather decided to be nice to us photographers, as the dramatic clouds provided a great backdrop and shade for our amazing couple on their wedding day. We hope you enjoy the images; and please do let us know when you’re in the Southern California area. Also, special thanks to Winnie Forbes, a great assistant photographer, for her help on this wedding!

Of course, we have to give the groom his solo time when he looks as smooth as 007.

We had a lot of fun with this great group of groomsmen.

This definitely had to be one of the most gorgeous outdoor venue we have shot.

aww… brotherly love, at least they made up afterwards

Is this what Seattle photographers have to play with every wedding?

Every once in a while, we like to try an exaggerated, high contrast HDR to literally paint the picture of the scenery during the wedding day.

A quick fun, model-esque picture of our wedding party…

The outdoor ceremony site at the Seattle Tennis Club was a perfect scene for Julie and Zach to have their wedding ceremony.

Thomas Lester Awesome. The shot of her sitting on the dock is pretty slamm'n.

Seattle Tennis Club Wedding Photography | Julie and Zach’s Reception

August 5th, 2010

The reception for Julie and Zach’s wedding was also at the Seattle Tennis Club, and amazing venue for a wedding reception.

Let’s start with my favorite picture of the night. You’ll never guess what I shot through to get this one.

01 seattle tennis club wedding photography

There were great toasts from both sides of the wedding party during the reception, leading to great, candid laughs from Julie and Zach.

01-seattle-tennis-club-wedding-photography

Okay so Zach might have gotten smashed with Cake in the face, but at least his instincts took over and got Julie back by shoving the plate right under her arm! Good job instincts!

01-seattle-tennis-club-wedding-photography

Always smiling these two! Their first dance was a great moment during their wedding reception at the Seattle Tennis club.

01-seattle-tennis-club-wedding-photography

I love pictures of people mid dance move. There’s always such good (and random) expressions!

01-seattle-tennis-club-wedding-photography

Caught the boys outside under the beautiful Seattle night sky enjoy their cigar time.

01-seattle-tennis-club-wedding-photography

I had the hardest time deciding which picture to post from this moment. We have an awesome picture of Julie’s expressions from the front, but this one’s pretty timeless. What’s taking you so long Zach? haha

Another take on our classic LJP ring shots, I decided to play with the different shades of pink in the scene.

Illinois Wedding Photography – Pere Marquette Lodge – Callista + Peter Pt 1

November 25th, 2009

Last month, we flew out to Illinois for the wedding of Callista and Peter. The entire trip was a great time, from exploring St. Louis Gateway arch and eating all of the great food to hanging out with Callista and Peter on their memorable wedding day. The wedding took place at Pere Marquette Lodge, a quaint venue in Grafton, Illinois. It was a marriage of two cultures, Peter’s Jewish culture and Callista’s Taiwanese culture. The combination created beautiful and unique moments for us to capture. Thank you both for allowing us to be a part of your big day; and we hope you enjoy your images. Special thanks to Max Young for his help on this set.

Illinois Wedding Photography – Pere Marquette Lodge – Callista + Peter Pt 2

November 25th, 2009

Callista + Peter got the party started at the Pere Marquette Lodge, as the Illinois nighttime came upon us.
The live band rocked the house; and dancing and celebration lasted throughout the evening.

The band’s lively music resonated throughout the Pere Marquette Lodge.

I love this image because it shows the combination of cultures, with our bride wearing a traditional Chinese dress, but being lifted up in her chair, as part of the Jewish wedding tradition.

Here’s another shot of the same moment, this time from a different angle with a slightly slower shutter speed to capture the motion and excitement of the moment.

Destination Wedding Photography – Cabo San Lucas, Mexico – Hotel Riu – Soheil & Nancy

October 24th, 2008

Hey everyone, this is Pye with Lin and Jirsa Wedding Photography Los Angeles,

This past week we had the wonderful opportunity to shoot a destination wedding in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. For both Chris and myself, this was our first trip to Cabo and might I say it was a blast! We shot the wedding of Soheil Pourat and Nancy Rodriguez, our clients and now good friends! They were both tons of fun and they are a wonderful couple.

The wedding day was a blast and just how I imagined a beach wedding should be! Prior to the wedding, everyone was just hanging out on the beach and by the pool just lounging and chilling. It looked so relaxing that both Chris and I wanted to join in! Luckily, we restrained ourselves and got started on the prep shots.

Aside from the outrageous heat, the day went amazingly well and we got so many wonderful images that it would be impossible to post them all. Everyone enjoy the pics. Nancy and Soheil, you guys are awesome and we wish you the best!

Destination Wedding Photography – Cabo San Lucas, Mexico – Hotel Riu – Soheil & Nancy Engagement Shoot

October 23rd, 2008

Hey guys this is Pye,

So the day before Nancy & Soheil’s wedding out in Cabo San Lucas, we spent half a day with them hanging out and doing a fun little engagement shoot. There were so many great pictures from both the engagement shoot and the wedding, that we thought we should split it into two blog entries.

For their engagement shoot on Friday, we hung out with Soheil and Nancy for a good part of the day. We started the shoot in their hotel, Hotel Riu Palace, which was as big as it was gorgeous. Unbeknown to us, the Hotel Riu actually has 2 distinct resorts located on the same property. So we got quite lost walking around the place until we realized that their wedding was actually at Hotel Riu Palace vs Hotel Riu Santa Fe, meh… it was a good work out anyway.

Anyway, the Hotel Riu Palace was gorgeous, in fact we could have done the entire engagement shoot at the hotel and still not even scratched the surface of all the cool areas there were to shoot. But, at Chris’ brilliant urging, after about an hour of shooting at the Hotel Riu, we took a glass boat taxi off to Lover’s Island which is at the southern-most tip of Cabo San Lucas. I think everyone would agree that the boat ride was a blast and the scenery was gorgeous.

Enjoy the pics guys!
