Victoria Portrait

Victoria is an adorable 5 year old kid, she is smart and knows how to pose in front of my camera. We started the session at the backyard of Victoria's home. Old backyard fence is always one of my favorite spots for children portrait because the texture of the fence and the happy faces from the children make phenomenal contrast. After few shots at the yard, we headed to the park near by and captured some candid shots while Victoria was playing. We all had a lovely morning portrait session and enjoyed the images turned out as well.

Caesaria & Alvin Engagement | Marin Headlands

Caesaria and Alvin, good friends of Amy from Amy's Wedding & Events, liked to take some engagement pictures for their wedding in Hong Kong. They only spent couple days in the bay area and thank you for sparing one day for this engagement session with me. Caesaria was well prepared for this photo shoot. She prepared the dress, shoes, and even the bouquet which was important to the session. Since they live in Hong Kong where is a big city, Caesaria would like to have somewhere unique and nature as the background for this photo shoot. I brought them to Marin Headlands where was another side of the Golden Gate Bridge during sunset. I really enjoyed this engagement session with this overseas couple, good luck to their wedding in Hong Kong and I hope they love the images.

Emily & Ralf Wedding | Testarossa Winery | Los Gatos

Testarossa winery in Los Gatos is one of the famous wedding venues in the bay area. Fortunately, I had a chance to shoot Emily and Ralf's wedding in this beautiful venue. We started out day at Emily's house for getting ready pictures, then we went to downtown Los Gatos to captured some fun moments for the entire wedding party. Then we arrived Testarossa winery early for some romantic shots. Near sunset, ceremony started in the famous cave in the winery. Emily and Ralf also performed a very special first dance in front of us during the reception which was the highlight of the day. I also created an instant slideshow to show the same day wedding day pictures to the guests, I hope everyone enjoyed the party as I did. Congratulations again to Emily and Ralf!!!

Jenin & Rich Engagement | Marina District | Marin Headlands

Jenin & Rich is getting married in the coming January and we went to Marin Headland for their engagement. That was my first time shooting engagement session at this location, we had to cross the Golden Gate Bridge and waited 5 minutes to pass the one way tunnel. Once we passed the tunnel, we saw old ranch buildings, land fields, and many other different spots for pictures. We were all excited and spent a hour there. Afterward, we headed back to downtown San Francisco and captured few images with the green balloons. Jenin & Rich loved the balloon idea for the engagement session and I hope they love how I captured the moments for them.

Betty & Kin Wedding | Crystal Springs Golf Course

Betty and Kin tied their knots over at Crystal Springs Course Golf in Burlingame, and it was a sunny day with almost 100 degree. When I prepared my equipments for this wedding shoot, I also packed sunblock, an golf umbrella, ice bag, water, and extra shirt along with my camera. I was worried about to use the umbrella during the group pictures session after the ceremony, but my worries were gone once I arrived to the location - because most of the guests were prepared their own umbrellas! Yay! Congratulations to Betty and Kin again!
