yay......vacation in 2 weeks :)

If you've been reading this blog for a while you'll know that I'm going to be out of the country on VACATION....maybe even a very very (2 year+) delayed honeymoom in Paris!

So if you'll notice, I've added the clock for paris on this blog so I can start getting used to the time there.....(so corny...)

Ok bye :)

Palos Verdes Wedding of John & Terri

One more E-session (before wedding bridal...)

Okay, double posts today :) And both are engagement/bridal sessions that I've shot. Now, if you've read the previous post you know that Koon & Linda was pretty fun to shoot...but these guys, Kenny & Hong were even more kick ass!!! (well, at least Hong did better than Kenny...except for the constant blink-age)

We worked real hard with this couple, the forecast was clear and sunny and that's what we got...and more! We had some killer clouds that kinda was a concern for Kenny when we drove there...but I assured him that some clouds are our "friends"....you'll see when you scroll down :) But back to the story, these guys worked real hard...woke up at 4am, get ready, drive from the OC to Temple City arriving at 5 before 6am to get hair and makeup done....me and my assistand Suki came into the studio at around 7:45am to help Kenny change into his tux and all...left for the beautiful Laguna Beach at around 8:30am arriving at 9:30ish. Then it's off to work. But right before I started shooting I remember one thing.....SUNSCREE! Yes, I ended up getting REALLY rosey cheeks....(me so cute?)

That's about it....maybe too much details?....well....I'm a man of too many words sometimes...hehe! Ok, scroll down to see the nice weather...and the cute couple :)


Hong and Kenny! What a cute couple :)

Linda & Koon's Engagement/Bridal Session @ USC

Don't know if you guys know, but I shoot these things as well :) We got lots of couples who wish to take some fun shots in their wedding attire before the wedding so they'll have a big picture to show off as well as an cool digitally designed album as well for their wedding day!

Koon and Linda's wedding is in June so they'll definately have enough time to get everything to show off at their wedding! These guys really lucked out the day of the shoot, on weather.com it showed that it was 90% chance of rain so we called the shoot off the night before, but on the day of the skys were beautiful and didn't get a drop of rain all day. So we decided to still do the shoot that day because it was president's day and the USC campus would be all to ourself without a bunch of people walking around. So off we went.....to USC. Even though I've shot countless AGC sorority and fraternity formals, I've never been to the campus and I must say that the campus is pretty impressive. I like..........(megan should go there when she grows up...)

Ok, enough chit chat...you guys probably have already skipped the rambling and scrolled down anyway...so la la la......




lovely....in front of the (one of the) library(ies)


it was pretty windy that day and I LOVE THE WIND!!




Love this one the most!


I had no idea linda would be so so easy to shoot!


yup, linda and koon, if you're reading this, you definately made the shoot fun!


walk....


run...


my wife Jenny actually shot this while I was working another angle...and what do you know...her shot is better than mine...(and she's not even a photographer..... :)


Just can't resist the detail shots.....


the asian version Tommy Trojan?!


a quick fisheye shot of the landscape!

Angela & Cecil's Wedding Album

I realized that I have never posted any of the finished album designs that I've done for my lovely couples. Also, in honoring the completion of Angela and Cecil's album (um...only took you guys 5 months......) I will post their stunning album here.

This cute couple got married at the very beautiful Chateau Bradbury with about 150 of their closest friends and family. I loved shooting this couple because they both were beautiful people (okay, maybe Angela is just a bit better looking than cecil....) and they had sooo much details that I could play with. ok, enough talk....check out the album.















.........L-O-V-E this shot of Angela's dress...........! (i know she loved it too!)

























overall kick ass wedding! i love my job!!!
