Their wedding day on Saturday was the first time Young-Mee and Yuri had met me, but thanks to all of our phone calls, I felt like we were able to get along so well straight away. Young-Mee is so incredibly kind, sweet and also has great taste, and Yuri is so thoughtful, and while a bit quiet initially, incredibly fun and humorous overall (think he takes after dad below!). Many thanks to Kelsey Thompson of K. Thompson photography for coming out and shooting with me. She did a great job throughout the day, and took the guy’s prep photos below.

Love this shot Kelsey got!

Love their looks here.

So we decided to just take photos around the hotel before going to the ceremony. Before I flew out, I asked Young-Mee if there were any spots that might be good for photos, and she wasn’t entirely sure where we would take them. “No worries!” I said. “There are great spots everywhere!” But when I drove up I’m pretty sure I cursed in my car, since the hotel was basically in a little industrial officey complex–just four buildings, and two little groves of trees (but buildings and signs surrounding them, making it hard to set up the photo). I was a little nervous, but think we worked it out–figures that an office would be easier for me than somewhere classically “beautiful.”

This little boy was pouting ALL DAY. Love the mockery.

Young-Mee and her sister made these. So impressed with what my brides are doing this year!

Yuri’s dad.
