Seattle Mixes it up- a Worldly Wedding Reception at Columbia Tower Club
Vietnamese and Filipino cultures merge beautifully at this Seattle wedding of Minh Hua and Joel Gavino. They held the ceremony at lovely St Vincent De Paul in Federal Way, WA. The light in the sanctuary made it easy to take photos, even for amateur photographers. These two really love each other and had many moments and symbols that represent their blossoming relationship. At Minh’s home, Joel asked permission to marry Minh, which her father granted. Phew! The traditional Vietnamese ao dai (attire) and tea ceremony waited until we arrived at Columbia Tower Club which was glowing gold in the Seattle’s late afternoon light. What a picture perfect setting for the rest of the evening.
An attempt at making their first glance a private moment
The playful bubble exit of the Bride and Groom
Ah the amazing kiss among blowing bubbles. Two cultures marry and celebrate at St Vincent De Paul Church in Federal Way WA
There are so many fun photos. Keep you eyes open for part two which will feature more photos from St Vincent De Paul and the Columbia Tower Club, including the fabulous views.

I really like the one with Joel walking through the church doors and your camera angle shows off the beautiful ceiling of the church with the exposed trusses & windows.

amazing photos of an amazing couple on an amazingly nice day!
I love the picture of the kiss in the bubbles… That is one of most perfect little moments that I have seen caught in a long time.Beautifully shot!
I agree with Janet that st vincent in FW is quite possibly one of the more beautiful locations to be married at. The natural light is stunning at midday and sunset.I also think the roses and candles shot may be one of my favorite with the lights streaming in, Mini Minh.
PS Minh you look positively stunning and almost glow. Best wishes and blessings to both you and Joel!

I looked at the pix again and I have to say I’m still amazed at how good they all turned out!! It is truly so rare these days to find such a good photograher!! Loved them.
The one w/ the bubbles is especially great! Whenever I take pics of the kids playing w/ bubbles, they come out nice enough but wow, the definition of the bubbles in the one your photographer took is truly amazing!
