I first met Edson when he came to attend my sister’s wedding two years ago. Edson is the kind of guy who everyone just adores. He is super easy-going, has a heart of gold, and loves to laugh. I mean, seriously, who else would be such a good sport about punching swirly designs on my sister’s wedding menus? =P
So you can imagine how thrilled I was to hear that he proposed to my niece, Quyen – who I was very close to while growing up. In our Vietnamese culture, she is considered my niece [she is my cousin’s daughter]; however, in the American culture, I believe she is my second cousin. Quyen & I have so many fond memories together: walking to the store together to pig out on snacks, munching on French Onion SunChips, playing Chinese jump rope, learning about “Italy” in the classroom, trying [and failing many times] to translate for her, bathtime, “say liquor!”, crawfish…the list goes on! I only wish Quyen & Edson were closer! They are the cutest couple!
Quyen & Edson are from Seattle, and I am so excited to be capturing their wedding day! They are so loving and silly together. The couple met through a mutual friend at a party, and Edson was enamored from the start! Of course he would be, as Quyen is a total catch! Smart, beautiful, and super caring. I know they will be blessed with lots of goodness, because they love spreading it to others.
We first headed out to the lab in Costa Mesa for the awesome colorful decor for our session. Then it was off to corona del mar for some awesomeness at the beach. Lastly we stopped by disneyland’s downtown disney district for some fun in the store!
I can’t begin to tell you all how happy I am to witness their marriage this summer. I hope they’ll love their slideshow as much as I loved putting it together!
Here are some of my favorite images from the engagement session!
