A Connection that Goes Beyond Words: Suehyun and Mike's Wedding Photography Slideshow!

Me Ra Koh

I’m so excited to show you Suehyun and Mike’s wedding photography slideshow! These two have been all over the world for their honeymoon, and I didn’t want the slideshow to go live until they had Internet access.

Their deep connection with each other goes beyond words. It’s an honor to show you the glimpses Brian and I captured through photography.

As you already know, this image is one of my favorite wedding images for 2009.

Here is another favorite.

Can’t stop!

And we can’t forget about the traditional Korean shoes for the Pae Baek ceremony.

Every movement and gesture that the bride and groom make during this ceremony carries symbolism. The traditions and displays of honor behind Pae Baek are always moving to witness.

But one of the things I love about Suehyun…she is so fun to laugh with. In fact, Suehyun and I were laughing because of all the “Korean influence” surrounding her wedding. From the bridesmaid dress designer

to the photographer. 🙂 If nothing else, she knows the wedding can only be a success with Koreans surrounding it. 🙂

But Kristina Harpe (who is NOT Korean) is the beautiful Wedding Manager at the The Ritz-Carlton in Kapalua in Maui. She was AWESOME! Not only did she help make the reception mood romantic with an elegant design–

she also helped me surprise the bride. Suehyun had once told me that Mike played the ukulele, so Kristina helped me find one on the day of the wedding so Mike could serenade her. Isn’t that awesome!

You can see how Brian captured Suehyun’s response in their Wedding Slideshow. It’s the BEST!

And even though they practiced their first dance on the beach with me and Brian,

none of us were prepared for the LIFT! Wow, talk about a first dance.

And for those of you who love the music as much as I do; the song title is The Ooh Wee Song by Jonny Blu. We licensed it just for Suehyun’s wedding from Triple Scoop Music!

Dear Suehyun and Mike,

It was wonderful to finally be with you both and capture your wedding day. There were so many amazing elements that I will never forget. Brian will forever be jealous of Mike’s hair. 🙂 And I have loved laughing with you. Thank you for the honor of shooting your wedding. If Mike needs any support for marrying into a Korean family, Brian wants him to know that he is
always here. Although, Mike blew us both away with that speech. I think giving the speech in Korean took the cake my friend. 🙂

Love you both,
Me Ra and Brian

  21. Rhonda says:

    Beautiful!!!
    I knew and expected it to be though.

    And thank you so much for the link to Triple Scoop Music.
    I have often wondered about how to go about licensing a song and using it legally. I have avoided slide shows because of this one reason alone.

    I like your 4to
    congrats 4 u

  23. I am impressed, I must say. really seldom do I encounter a blog thats both instructional and entertaining, and let me tell you, youve hit the nail on the head. Your post is important; the matter are some things that not many folks are speaking intelligently about. i am really happy that I stumbled across this in my rummage around for one thing regarding it.

  24. You really make it appear so easy along with your presentation however I in finding this matter to be actually one thing that I believe I might by no means understand. It kind of feels too complex and very broad for me. I’m looking ahead for your next put up, I will attempt to get the hold of it!

  25. Khoc.Vn says:
