My First Promotion video by Studio MSV

Andrew from Studio MSV is my all time favorite wedding videographer. We met at a wedding few years ago, and started loving each other's work. Andrew is a creative artist, specializing in creating romantic moments by directing couples to depict their love for each other in front of his camera. I always recommend his work to all my clients.This time, he captured some footage of me shooting an engagement session, and he produced an awesome promotional video for me. Enjoy! (It's funny to see myself on video!)

Rachel & Roland Engagement - Ghirardelli Square and Lucas Film Letterman Digital Arts Center

Rachel and Roland selected two very unique locations for their engagement session: Ghirardelli Square & Lucas Film Arts Center in Presidio. The warm, sunny weather drew crowds to Ghirardelli Square-- over 50 people waiting in line to get ice cream! It seemed impossible to take their photos in the midst of the crowd. Fortunately, we found some nice spots at the lower level of the building. The red brick building brought vibrant color to the pictures, which was exactly what Rachel and Roland had wanted. In contrast, Lucas Film Arts Center was a total different setting-- quiet, trees, a waterfall, and peaceful. We enjoyed a stroll through the park, somewhere calm and leisure for picture taking. There were only a mere ten people we saw during our session there. I will definitely suggest this location to other clients.

Jennifer & Jeff Wedding - Pacific Athletic Club

Jennifer and Jeff got married at the same location where I got married with Sam - Pacific Athletic Club in Redwood City. Coz I also shot couple weddings there before, I'm very familiar with the location, the schedule run down, the food (yummy!), and the people. Jennifer was well prepared for the event, she designed the programs, guests signature album, favors...etc, they are beautiful. But one thing it surprised me was the flower decorations, they were made by Jennifer and her cousin, they looked amazing every professional, good job Jen! Here are some pictures to share, enjoy! Congratulations to Jennifer and Jeff again!

Alison & Peter Engagement - AT&T Park & Crissy Field

Alison and Peter are big fans of Giants, so they decided go to AT&T Park for the engagement. We went on last Saturaday and there was a game in the park, we didn't go in to the game but we took pictures around the building. The red brick building made the pictures very colorful. I would highly recommend this location to my other customers, but parking is problem overthere! (We parked at the Safeway parking, 90min free park if you make $5 of purchase in Safeway! :Þ)

Sally & Halbert Wedding - Rincon Center, Yank Sing

One of the longest wedding I ever done, but it was fun and memorable. Door games, pickup bride, tea ceremony at both parents places, legion of honor for pictures, take break at the penthouse of the luxury Hotel Vitale, ceremony, group pictures, cocktail, banquet... Although it was a very long day, the wedding party was so energtic and enjoyed every moment of the wedding. Sally and Halbert planned the wedding so well and all the vendors did a perfect job. Congratulations to Sally and Halbert again!
