David Martschinske Photography

David and Chelsey are two people very close to me. In fact, I see them almost every day… they are my roomies! As I sit here in the living room writing this post and getting some pictures quickly edited before people fly back to the east coast I think Penny (David and Chelsey’s dog) is chasing a cat in her sleep. It’s pretty funny to watch and I’m thinking of the kind of shenanigans Penny and I will get in to as I watch her during the honeymoon. ANNNNNYways… Let me tell you a bit about David and Chelsey. David is one of those guys that will glance at something… remember it forever… and then be able to talk about it in detail at the drop of a hat. Yes, David is a lawyer – a mighty fine one at that. So if you have an employment law case have a chat with Dave… he’ll tell ya everything ya need to know. When I met Chelsey for the first time we talked for a good long time about non-profits and our zeal to encourage others to succeed. It was a conversation that kind of stuck with me and paints a picture for me of who Chelsey is. It was a great honor to be their photographer and my only frustration is that David kept walking off at crucial points… you know, the times when you are taking his picture!!! These are good people and I hope you see a little bit of their personalities in this sneak preview.

In order to clarify a few things, this Chinese-American wedding featured a little tradition on both sides. It was actually kind of awesome to witness a Chinese tea ceremony and to see how everything in the house is transformed to red (the color of good prosperity in China). Also, while David gave his future father and mother-in-law some tea he told th

em, “now get ready for the wildest ride of your life.” The brief moment of silence followed by a burst of laughter after set the tone and became quote of the day. Everyone had a such a great time and I even got some dancing in there!
