thu and jason rock out rochester

New York wedding photographers in Rochester and Manhattan

what is up everyone! are you ready for some football! um, i mean to see some more of the uber rad thu and jason‘s rochester wedding of rock and roll awesomeness?!

we are!

before we get to the images though we have to tell you a little something about them. if you don’t eat yer meat, you can’t have any pudding!

early this year after jason proposed to thu we received an email inquiry that went a little something like this…

“good day. my future bride and I attended the wedding of man & whitney last august and we’re floored by their pictures, as well as your presence during the event. (i.e. keeping up with every memorable moment) Thu (that’s my lady friend) and I would be honored to have you photograph our wedding as well. please contact me as soon as you are able, so that we may set up a wondrous transaction of ideas and currency! thank you kindly.” – Jason

we were immediately stoked and…

we skipped the light fandango

turned cartwheels ‘cross the floor

i was feeling kinda seasick

but the crowd called out for more

the room was humming harder

as the ceiling flew away

when we called out for another drink

the waiter brought a tray.

instantly, planning phase 1 went into full effect. we were going to do the baxter’s drive across america again! yay!

BUT (big but), due to time constraints we ended up flying instead of driving, much to kim’s disappointment. <—- this is pretty much her every time we fly. haha! either way, we got to the east coast to see our awesome couple.

the first thing that comes to mind when we think about thu and jason is how freakin cool they are. they’re cooler than freddie jackson sippin a milkshake in a snowstorm. they were super fun to shoot and kept us smiling all day. although we had never officially met them in-person before the day of their rehearsal, we fell in love with them through cyber space (in the facebook friends kinda way, not the skeevy-red-light-website-that’s-blocked-on-your-work-computer kinda way.) when we finally hooked up at their rehearsal/dinner we found out they were even cooler in person than they are in email. we got to spend the whole afternoon with them, their awesome family, and friends eating king crab legs, dinosaur bbq and all kinds of ridiculously good asian style grinds at the’ and hong’s home.

let me just say… they can cook!

as if the insanely good food wasn’t enough, we couldn’t have felt more comfortable, welcome, and at home if we were sitting in our own home wearing baggy sweats and bunny slippers.

thu and jason, WE LOVE YOU and your whole ohana! you guys are one in a million. hopefully we’ll get to come back to rochester and see you all again really soon. hint, hint, thoan.

as for now, we still have a grip of sessions from new york and hawaii to post, and that all day blackout we had didn’t help, so away we go!!

see you cats on the flip flop.

as the reception began there was an electronics problem with jason’s dj equipment. lots of the guys at the wedding tried to help but in the end it was whitney that saved the day. man said something like “there’s ten asians over there and the one white girl fixes it.” good one man. man is a fuuny guy!

This looked like such an amazing wedding with such a fun vibe! Adore the wagon with the groom, loved all their portraits in the other post and yes that clearly is the best family formal! Loved it all!

Smoosh ya boo! It’s true you do have the funnest and hottest couples! The reception looked like a rockin time and how funny are their faces after drinking! Epic!

She rocks that dress! Super fun and I’m loving the crazy dance pics and that ring shot is pretty dang cool!

Truly inspirational. Being pulled away in a cart..Priceless!

Such a beautiful and happy couple! I love the Buck Hunter pics, how fun are they!?

Such a beautiful couple. You’ve captured all the fun and love of their day perfectly. These all have a timeless feel. Beautifully done.

Stop! Stop! Stop! I can’t take any more! My eyeballs just exploded! Love them all!

Love me some ohana… I must admit… it’s been awhile. Was looking for inspiration (shooting all day tomorrow) and got it… thanks for being awesome!!!

Such an incredibly gorgeous wedding! I am friends with Zach and Brittany Steiger and I LOVE your pictures! You guys are extremely talented!

Always, always loving your distinct style on things, friend. It’s consistently signature and never compromises you :) Faves gotta be the wagon shots and that capture with the puddle reflection. Yum!

Absolutely LOVE this wedding! The portraits are amazing and the shots at the reception are ridiculously fun!

OMG I LOVE Buck Hunter!!! So much awesome in this wedding I can’t even say! Perfectly shows their personalities, what a fun and gorgeous couple!

Gorgeous couple and they looked like so much fun! Them AND their guests! Ha ha love it! I absolutely love following your work!!! Such an inspiration to us aspiring photographers.

THe wagon must be made into a canvas!!! Omg I love it so much! How do you top one wedding after the other. I know that seems impossible, but I just loved this one!

This wedding is out of control awesome! Looked like you captured every happy and crazy moment!

Your work is so fun, so different from all the rest I’ve seen. Not boring or cheesy, always looks specific to the couple. With the emotions you capture, you must be easy and fun to work with. My wedding photographer was not so awesome and wish I knew of you guys. Well, I’ve gone on long enough. Really inspired by your work!

Stunning work, stunning couple…killer wedding coverage. I want to be best friends with this couple! So fun!

Beautiful couple, beautiful storytelling. Love their portraits in the alley, my goodness they look like seasoned models. How do you always make your couples so comfortable in front of the camera and look so incredibly beautiful??? Phenomenal is all I have left to say.

Freaking ridiculous!!! Love everything about this wedding. She is absolutely stunning! You seriously have the most beautiful brides!

These are RE-damndiculous!! Everything about this is amazing and that ring shot is freaking rad! The portraits in the alley are phenomenal!

Amazing and good inspiration. Thanks for sharing.

Omg! Great photos! I can’t believe I didn’t see this until now. You really really really really captured all the fun moments that makes this family the super fun bunch that they are. I laughed thinking … this is EXACTLY how they are…. And I love the captions. This is probably one of the more personal wedding blogs I’ve seen (you know everyone’s names) and I really like that!

P.S. Glad you did not catch me in full pjs! Thank you thank you. Har har!

OK…………………….the refection shot in that alleyway…………..the one that kicks the crap out of anything i have ever seen. Next time we see you guys will you take a shot of jen and i like that. ITS BONKERS!!!!!

These are beyond awesome! Love all the fun and captured moments! Beautiful work all around!

All your couples are so much fun and so beautiful! These are amazing!

The reception shots are so much fun!!!

Let me vent to you for a moment or two about how AWFUL it is to have experienced the Ohana crew. i was at a wedding this weekend and thu and i just kept shaking our head at the photographer and saying ‘Ohana would be throwing up in their mouths if they saw this!’. Thu and I can no longer enjoy weddings WITHOUT critiquing the photographer! this is all your fault for being TOO awesome.
