When I first spoke with Kim from Papeterie, I found out that she would be making the lovely wedding invitations for one of my couples, Jerry and Anh, who are getting married next summer. I’m always excited to find out which vendors I will be working with at the weddings. Kim also told me that she would be writing articles for an online magazine and she needed some fresh headshots. Of course you all know how I feel about that, I think everyone should update their headshots as often as possible. So we met for the first time in Newport Beach on Friday and found out we had a lot in common! She’s so fun to hangout with and I’m so excited to see what she creates for Jerry and Anh’s wedding. In true Brian Khang fashion, Kim said she only needed 1 photo and of course I gave her more than that. Keep in mind that we literraly shot for 15 minutes, so here are a few of my favorite photos of Kim, in 15 mintues. Oh yeah and if you are getting married and or need some beautiful invitations, be sure to checkout Papeterie!
Some simple headshot photos, in some beautiful California sunshine!
I know the photo on the right is blurry, but I still love it!




All of the offerings were brought into the house.
And presented.
After the introductions to both sides of the family, they finally brought Jackie out.


A quick prayer.

And presenting of the engagement ring.
When Jackie’s friend Clarie sang “Forever” accapella, everyone at that point lost it, including us. It was so touching!
Brian’s mom giving Jackie some shinny bling. It’s part of the tradition that both parents offer a gift of jewlery. I hope that’s right.
Jackie’s very proud parents.
It was a great day and who wouldn’t love Jackie’s smile!
We did some quick portraits of course.






It was also Father’s day that day, which made the event even more special!

Jackie don’t hate me for posting these, but your smile and laughter is so great!




I rarely use actions, but I felt this photo was perfect for it. TRA Grandma’s Tap Shoes at 50% and Vignette + Blur Fast at 20%
we all know what the photo on the right is of, so I thought it would be a great idea to photograph it out of focus
we visited the old I guess you can call it arcade room at the wharf. there were some creepy old games there.
