FASHION BRIDAL SHOOT : I

There’s just something so fun about gathering friends together and coming up with an idea for a photo shoot. Before I left for Houston, Quynh, my cousin and model, helped us organize a photo shoot right in Orange County. It ended up being a Bridal shoot in the woods and we somehow detoured into a real “Biker Bar”. But we kept shooting and it ended up being a lot of fun! A special thanks to our models, Quynh Khang, Scott Jemison and Tina Khong. And Vivian Tran from All Made Up, who styled this shoot and did a phenomenal job on the hair and makeup!

DENISE AND RICH : HYATT HUNTINGTON BEACH TURNIP ROSE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

So how did I celebrate The New Year? By kicking off New Years Day, photographing Denise and Rich’s wedding! I can’t even begin describing how Denise and Rich makes you feel when you’re around them. They have such carefree souls. Denise is one of the sweetest people I know and she always has a genuine smile that’s insanely infectious! And Rich is one of those guys that you can just rely on. He’s always worrying about others and I can see why these two were brought together. Now, I definitely didn’t make up these descriptions of Denise and Rich. During toast, their friends and family that spoke, said almost the exact same thing. There was so much love that day, that you’re just happy to be there. As was I. Congratulations again Denise and Rich! I’m still smiling ear to ear and happy for you two!

CAUGHT ON CAMERA WITH NO SHOES ON AND NO CAMERA IN HAND

But I swear it was for the common good. I can only laugh at myself sometimes for how strange I look when someone takes a photo of me unknowingly. But the truth is, that’s who I am. I’m always feeling that I look uncool, but I’m always willing to lend a hand, no matter what. Even if that meant standing on a chair with just my socks and taking photos or putting down my camera to help out a groom, get ready on his wedding day. It’s funny how when I grew up, how much I cared about what others thought about me. I definitely gave that up these days and are acting more like myself. Now if only I could go back in time and tell the former me, that same thing. Helen is probably reading this now and saying, “I created a monster!”. Thanks babe! You did! Happy Wednesday!

Thanks to Brian Fletcher for taking these photos of me at my last wedding, in all my uncoolness and bad hair day!

THE VERANDAS MANHATTAN BEACH WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY : SHIRLEY + TUNG

My last wedding of 2009, ended up being my most relaxed wedding I’ve photographed all year. Shirley and Tung had their celebration at the beautiful Verandas in Manhattan Beach, surrounded by only their closest friends and family. Some of which came from other countries. The day was mainly an outdoor garden “Chinese Tea Ceremony” and a relaxing lunch with their guests. This day and this wedding, was a great way to end 2009! Now on to the photos!

Venue : The Verandas, Manhattan Beach, CA
Florals : Be Buds Florist, Torrance, CA
Stationery and Invitations : Emily K Paperie
Lion Dance: East Wind Foundation

We started the day at the Ayres Hotel in Manhattan Beach. There’s something charming about this particular hotel that I like.
