Me Ra Koh Photography went to LA in early September for a speaking engagement, and then we did a photo shoot in Santa Monica the next day, and flew home that same night driving north to Bellingham for a very special wedding.
I know I feel this way after every wedding, but I love Monique and Jim’s Slideshow from their wedding! I think I’ve watched it 10 times in the last hour and even cried. 
Monique is a friend of mine from the triathlon group in Tacoma, WA. She is actually our amazing coach, and she is beautiful in countless ways. Jim is her groom, and the way he adored her throughout their wedding was amazing. Simply put, I love the way Jim loves Monique. Below are some favorite shots, but you’ve got to see the slideshow! (make sure your volume is on for the music too! And if you’re having trouble seeing the slideshow, click here for a free update of Flash.)

Jim makes Monique laugh non-stop and what more could you ask for in marriage? 
A moment so tender, I felt invasive shooting it. But I’m so glad we caught it.
I love this shot that Brian caught. The angle and lines add so much to the creativity.
An old barn near the ceremony site was the perfect background.

Thirty minutes before the ceremony it was pouring down rain. It was looking like the outdoor wedding wouldn’t happen, but the sun broke through at the last minute. The sky was so moody throughout the ceremony. It almost felt fickle in how often it changed. Brian and I had a blast shooting the clouds rolling in, the sun breaking through, the darkness coming back. It gives me the chills just remembering it.
And the children were gorgeous!
Congrats you two! Brian and I are so happy for you both! Thank you for giving us the honor of shooting your wedding day!
