Barbie Hull Photography » Seattle Wedding Photographer, Barbie Hull loves to share her work!

Hey there, thanks for visiting my new site!

You can always stop by to see samples of recent projects, jobs, parties, events, and friends — pretty much whatever is happening in my little world. =)

If you didn’t already know, I am a photographer (and I think it’s the coolest job EVER!) — commercially focused on photographing people — documenting their lives. Whether it is a life changing event such as a wedding, pregnancy, a new baby (love babies), a 50th birthday party, etc. — or often for a small business portrait or a business profile when a company is looking to update their website, brochure, online networking sites, I do it all — in a fun creative way of course!

So, photography is really my life (love it) — but other than the photo biz…I’m one of the founders of this fabulous group — Get Hitched Give Hope — our mission is to give brides & grooms a fun way to plan their wedding all while giving back! (So cool!)

Okay, now you know all about me — I love taking photos & volunteering my time, other than that — traveling is pretty cool, so if you have a job in Germany, Paris, Alaska or Fij…my cameras are already packed and I’m ready to go!

Thanks for stopping by!

Oh that Aster! She is adorable!

One of the BEST parts of my job is getting to know awesome people and I have to say the Link family is one of the awesomest – and they keep growing too! In 2009, Jesse married his beautiful college sweetheart Trisha – (you remember them!) then SURPRISE!! A honeymoon gift – 9 months later, little Aster Elizabeth Link came along and she has been a DELIGHT!! I have been lucky to have a reason to see this sweet family for the past three years… and who knows – maybe next year this time you’ll see more posts!! ;0)

Here is a slideshow highlight of the Aster’s first year. Adorable!

A Hawaiian Wedding!

Sarah & Dan are in love! Their friends and family love them more than anything – they literally traveled from all over the world – Alaska, Germany, South America, Boston – EVERYWHERE just to be with them! The celebration was too much fun too!! We all got there a few days early, did some sightseeing, got our nails done, Dan’s parents hosted a BBQ the day before the wedding… and then the WEDDING!! Wooohooo!! Sarah’s Mom Barbara did SUCH a great job with all of the details and the BEST thing she did in the planning was to hire Carolee & her crew at White Orchid Wedding planning – I can’t say it enough. The day was dreamy, perfect and I am so glad this is the first wedding of 2012 – it really set the tone for an AWESOME year!

P.S – this is a GIVER wedding too!! Barbara bid on me in the auction at Get Hitched Give Hope!! This wedding helped to grant final wishes of very deserving people – AMAZING!! Thank you Barbara for being a giver, and for an amazing time on the Big Island!

The wedding was at the Hawaii Island Resort – a yoga retreat on the Big Island. **GORGEOUS!!**

While the girls were getting ready in the honeymoon suite, the rest of the family & guests were down at the poolhouse making leis and beautiful pieces for their hair.

The girls had a peaceful morning of champagne and fun stories – but the boys… I haven’t heard this much laughter in a really long time – they had a GREAT time getting ready for the wedding!

Nathan blew a conche to let the guests know they should head down to the ceremony site that overlooked the ocean – what a gorgeous view!

Hawaiian ceremonies are now my favorite!! Kissing is encouraged throughout the ceremony – AND did you know that eskimo kisses are also a hawaiian tradition too? Alaska and Hawaii have so much in common. ;0)

This dance was dedicated from Sarah & Dan to Barbara as a thank you for all of her hard work – she did such an amazing job! What a beautiful dance too – brought tears to her eyes!

Let me just say – most hilarious and sweet father of the bride toast – Gary, you did a GREAT job with this!! We laughed, we cried, we drank… a lot!! Great toast!

The party went until the wee hours in the morning -

A big thank you to my Mom – Linda! You are the BEST!! Thank you for taking a week off of work to come down and hang out, help me take photos (great 2nd shooter!) and to dance your feet off with me! What fun we had – lets go again next year! I love you!!
