Grace

For many years Grace made her best attempts to resist the calling to the camera.  Now she can barely go through an entire day without composing every moment of the world around her in frames.  Her keen eye and creative approach are what she depends on most to produce the perfect image...and to bargain shop.  Believe it or not, Grace's ability to spot a great deal is actually the mark of a highly trained and detailed eye.  If she didn't spend her days as a photographer, Grace would make a great style coach and price hunter.

An introvert at heart, her perfect day would begin by waking up without an alarm clock.  However, being the detail-oriented perfectionist that she is (and being motivated by the knowledge that anxious clients are eagerly awaiting their images), Grace usually can be found editing images into the wee hours of the night.  She loves that her work brings joy to other people and is happy to use an alarm clock if only for that purpose.  Grace is a lover of beauty and style.  She enjoys art, design, fashion, food, cuddling with her hubby, breaking out in show tunes at random times, and of course, weddings.  Most importantly she enjoys roaming the beautiful aisles of Target.

Grace loves that she gets to work side by side with her best friend and husband, Hun, who makes her laugh every day and inspires her to be better at all she does.  In photography she truly has found the only medium where she can express herself in a completely free way.  Best of all, she loves love. She loves the opportunity to capture love in all forms, and to do all she does to the glory of God who is the ultimate expression of love.

Hun

Hun claims to have become a wedding photographer by accident. At the prodding of his wife, he soon learned that what initially started out as an artistic hobby would become a full-fledged business endeavor. As an artist, Hun loves the challenge of fusing his passion for art and the necessity of business. The businessperson he most looks up to is his wife, Grace, and not just because she likes doing most of the work. He thinks she's pretty awesome. She is his partner in business, crime and in Rock Band.

Hun is the consummate artist. He is a photographer, a musician, and a closet cosmetologist who sometimes gives unsolicited hairstyle critiques. Hun brings his intelligent eye to his work as a photographer. He firmly believes the combination of the moment and the interpretation of that moment are what make up a perfect picture. He finds it a rewarding challenge to anticipate the moments that matter most in life and capture them for posterity.

For Hun it's often the simple and intrinsically meaningful moments he remembers most in the weddings he photographs. The most memorable ceremony he shot was a small, intimate gathering of about 8-10 guests in a local Seattle Park. His favorite wedding venue was a barn in New Jersey.

Despite his love of classic, simple and nostalgic settings, he still can't live without his iPhone. In his spare time Hun enjoys music, all matters of technology, gadgetry and doing all he can to maintain the title his friends gave him of "Rock Band snob."
