Mary Ann & Ben Engagement - Balboa Park & Del Mar Beach in San Diego

After shooting a wedding at Torrance, Sam and I drove all the way to San Diego to take engagement pictures for Mary Ann and Ben. They're actually from the Bay Area and moved to San Diego for work. After two hours of driving, we arrived Balboa Park as the our first location. You can find many gorgeous classic structural buildings in the park and of cousre many tourists like us. We spent about an hour shooting in the park, then we headed to a beach near Del Mar for some action shots! I shoot many engagement pictures on the beach in San Francisco, but the beach in San Diego is very different. Sand was fine, the water was warm and clear, Sam and I enjoyed our day in San Diego and planning to go there again for a short vacation.

Vicki & Rob Wedding - The Neighborhood Church, Palo Verdes Estates

Andrew from Studio MSV referred me to his cousin Vicki and Rob to shoot their wedding down in Palo Verdes Estate, a small city in Southern California. The ceremony was held in The Neighborhood Church, it was a privately owned mansion and turned into a church in 1961. This church is built on the Palos Verdes bluffs, overlooking the Pacific Ocean, what a gorgeous site for wedding ceremony with sea breeze. For the reception, they chose Redondo Beach Historic Library, a classic building sitting right next to the famous Redondo Beach Wharf. It was also a perfect spot for sunset picture. After the wedding, Sam and I took a walk on the Redondo Beach in the dark, so romantic! Thanks for Vicki and Rob hired me as their photographer and I enjoyed this little vacation/business trip very much!

Mary & Aaron Wedding - Dolce Hayes Mansion

Dolce Hayes Mansion, an elegant wedding venue in San Jose, and it was my first time shooting a wedding there. Mary and Aaron were well prepared for their wedding, everything was on time or ahead of the schedule. I especially like they used some Chinese characters as the table number, it was unique and every word they picked was very meaningful. Congratulations again to Mary and Aaron

Jill & Bryan Engagement - Baker Beach

Jill and Bryan chose Baker beach for their engagment session, it was a perfect day to take pictures on the beach coz it wasn't too crowded and the weather was great. Jill and Bryan love to smile and laugh, and that makes the pictures happy and shows they're in love. I can't wait to see their happy faces in front of my lens again on their wedding day!
