Christina and Daniel Wedding - LA

Got to go shoot a wedding with Scott Robert last month in LA, and it just so happened that I knew the bride and groom and met them a year earlier in SF through a friend. It was nice to see all the ATL people party it up in LA. It was also an awesome learning experience being able to observe and see SR in action and interact with his clients. Here are a few from the day. The first two were all setup/posed by SR, although I have to give myself some credit for paying attention to the details of it, ie the veil, etc. haha =P Then, I ran off to do different detail shots.




I remember someone mentioning to me about how special the organs were to this church, so I figured I would incorporate them in.



And somethin' personal. I decided I'm going to be more active and take up a sport, and I guess for a girl in her mid-twenties, tennis seemed appropriate and good socially. So Yes, I am giving up my dreams of being awesome at basketball. I have myself a tennis instructor to keep myself motivated, AND for a little more motivation I went shopping for a cute tennis outfit Sunday. I hear the boys love pink?? haha I didn't find anything I liked... who knew it would be this hard! I will just have to sneak some shopping time in between some errands today, because I am determined to look good while I play (miserably haha). If anyone sees anything, I am def open for suggestions. :)

I think I'm liking this one. I like the Adidas by Stella McCartney, too, but I'm thinking I'll hold off on these until I'm at least decent at playing. haha

Eunice and Wes Wedding Teasers

Thought I would post a few from this past Saturday's wedding. Eunice was a superbride. She had everything planned on three pages of spreadsheet and even padded in Asian time. Good planning ahead! The day went really smooth.











Thought I would make use of the stained glass. :)











The unique part of the wedding is that they did communion. I think this is the first time I've ever seen this at a wedding ceremony.





Tons of emotion.


After the bride and groom were in tears, it was game over for everyone else. Not a dry eye in the room. Maybe a few.







First time trying out my gun light. Thanks to my trusty assistant for holding it up! hehe

Sophia and Calvin - Houston, TX

Junshien and I flew to Houston, TX to shoot Sophia and Calvin's wedding last month. It started with the tea ceremony on Friday, the Cambodian ceremony early Saturday morning, and then the main ceremony. There was seriously sooo much to cover, I just randomly chose some photos to post.



All the girls looked super cute in their clothes!







I think this is my favorite shot. :)



I think the rice throwing part was my favorite part! hehe So fun!



I love how Sophia was always smiling even while she was constantly getting hit by the rice.



Cannot forget about those detail shots.







A or B?





At the reception:





I miss shooting just for the fun of it. I haven't really done much of it since the whole wedding photography business got started. I remember when I picked up my first SLR, I would take it everywhere and I could not stop shooting. Now, all those daily encounters in life are going uncaptured. Time to bring it back.

Remember mixed CDs and mixed tapes? I used to love getting them or making them for people. When did that era come to pass? I found this one while I was cleaning out and organizing my CDs. It's labeled "Coaster".... and rightfully so. I'm still having a hard time tossing it though.



What I ate as a healthy after-dinner snack. No worries. They are completely safe. We picked them out of my parents garden.



This is my fav flower. I didn't even notice that my mom planted one in her garden until today.



This one would be my grandma's most prized flower. It's gonna grow to be taller than me one day.

Rose and Mark's Wedding - San Francisco, CA Part II

Okay, so here's the rest of the set.

Oh, the things the groomsmen had to do to get to the bride... like doing the catwalk in heels. He was a professional, I tell ya



and drinking baby food. Spinach flavor. Bottoms up!



A little tea ceremony action:
