JoAnna & Scot Wedding, Auberge du Soleil

Auberge du Soleil, one of the most romantic venues to get married. JoAnna and Scot picked this resort to hold their lovely wedding and invited their 37 best friends to share the unforgetable moments. It was a rainy day and the sun came out about an hour before the ceremony, what a magic! Look at the pictures, all vendors did a perfect job - music, florist, cake, decorations, and more... Here I would like to thank to Traci from Napa Valley Cerebrations, she is a fabulous wedding coordinator, you make all the vendors lives easier and kept everything on time. Althought this is a small party, every guest in the party is their best friends and the true blessing and happiness though out the party. JoAnna and Scot headed to Hong Kong for their honeymoon, I hope they're having fun there.

WPPI 2008, Las Vegas

This is my forth year to WPPI, as last few years, it was held in Bally/Paris hotel in Las Vegas (finally we're going to hold it in MGM instead in next year!). I like to go to WPPI, check out new stuffs from tradeshow, buy new camera equipments, and of course hang out with friends and DRINKING! My new assistant Elley went there this year, she was such a good girl, she went to ALL platform classes and didn't go out at all. I felt really bad coz I only went to one class. In the last day of the show, I finally did something productive in the tradeshow. I bought some camera equipments and also ordered some sample albums. I ordered a new handcrafted Japanese album, can't wait to show it to my customers.

Norma & Matthew Wedding, Rincon Center, Yank Sing

Norma and Matthew got married this Saturaday at one of my favorite locations, San Francisco Rincon Center. The weather was beautiful in the city, and this newlywed enjoyed their first day of being together. Norma was beautiful with her wedding gown and Matthew looked very smart with his tux as well, they really showed love though out the whole wedding day. I captured many happy and romantic moments for them and here are some to share, enjoy! Oh, one more thing, the food in Yank Sing was awesome, Elley and I left with our full tummy, yummy!

I went to the Promises and Pearls Bridal Soriee in San Francisco Design Center Galleria tonight. Many of my favorite wedding vendors had setup a booth there, Michelle from MB Wedding Design & Events, Bev from Especially Your Chair Covers, Jennifer from Jennifer Skog Photography, Andrew from Studio MSV. The event was very successfully, packed with brides and grooms, lovely vendors, live band, open bar, tasty food... Here are some pictures to share.

Nicholas & Rachel

My sister Cally, Joe, Coco, and Rachel came over to our house visiting little Nicholas. We put my two month old Nicholas and four month old cousin Rachel on the couch, oh man, they looked so cute! I quickly pulled out my camera and took few shots of them, look at them, so adorable!

NicNic: Hi cousin Rachel! Rachel: Hi cousin NicNic!

Both: Where is the camera?

NicNic: Hey Rachel, here is the camera!

Rachel: Thanks for tips NicNic.

My First Ski Trip of this season- Kiwkwood Ski Resort

My friend and I went to Kiwkwork Ski Resort last Sunday for a day trip. Coz of Nicholas's birth, this was my first ski trip of the season. I love going to Kiwkwood for snowboarding because it only took us 3 hours to get there from my house. Weather was great but little icy, but we had great time. Oh man, my muscle was so sore in the next day, I may need to exercise more.

My best friend Albert with me on the lift, hmm... I may need a wide angel pocket size camera.
