Irene & Bill Wedding | Round Hill Country Club

To me, Christmas was the most lovely season of year. Friends will send you gifts and blessings, family will get together and share the stories in the past year. I feel LOVE in Christmas and I think Irene and Bill feel the same . Irene and Bill selected Christmas weekend to tie the knot in Round Hill Country Club in Alamo, because they like Christmas as I do, plus there were many guests came from other countries. Irene loves Chinese wedding celecbration, so the first half the wedding day was in traditional Chinese style - door game, pickup bride, tea ceremony, Chinese wedding gown...etc. We all had fun and of course delicious Chinese food was served for lunch. Afterward, we headed to Round Hill Country Club for the wedding ceremony and reception. My favorite part of the night was toasting from their friends and family, they shared many funny stories about the newly wed and also vey touch blessings. Congratulations to Irene and Bill again!

My brand new camera - Canon 5d Mark II

After months of waiting, my brand new camera - Canon 5d Mark II has finally arrived at my doorway today. I wanted to upgrade my camera for long time, however I decided spent money on lenses instead in the past several years. Until 5d Mark II was announced, I decided to that's the camera I've been waiting for. 21.1 Megapixel Full-frame CMOS and ISO 25600 are the most important features to me, plus Full HD video capture 1080p, DIGIC 4 image processor, 3-inch clear view LCD... and more. I'm still charging the battery for the first time, testing shots will come very soon, I can't wait!!!

Nicole Ha Floral & Event Designs

Nicole Ha Floral & Event Designs - Before working with Nicole, I heard about all the good things about her works from my friends, customers, and vendors. Starting early last year, Nicole and I finally got a chance to working together for Halbert and Sally's wedding early this year. Nicole's works are unique, simple, and elegant. If you're looking for floral designer for your weddings or events, you definitely need to check our her portfolio. Nicole told me that she is in the middle of redesigning her website (http://www.nicoleha.com/), and she probably would use some of the pictures I shot for her, I can't wait! Nicole, I hope to see you again the upcoming weddings.

Amy & Kenneth Engagement | Central, Hong Kong

Kenneth and I met when we were 4th grade in Hong Kong, and it has been almost 24 years (I'm getting old.) I'm so glad see him getting married with another good friend of mine, Amy. Kenneth and Amy decided to tie the knot in Hong Kong instead because both of them will stay in Hong Kong to start their new marriage lives. Many of their friends and relatives flew back to attend their wedding, and i'm one of them because I was the bestman of the day. Kenneth and Amy love my pictures. However, I couldn't be their wedding day photographer. So I suggested to take engagement pictures for them as a little wedding gift. They loved the idea and we spent a morning in Central (Downtown area with some historic buildings) to capture their love moments. Congratulations to my best friends Kenneth and Amy!

Where was Ricky?

As some of you may concern, how come the blog hasn't been updated in the past few weeks? It is because I was in Hong Kong in the last couple weeks for my best friend's wedding. It was a fun trip, I tried many different kind of food there and the most important, my friend's wedding was so fun. I also took some engagement pictures for them in Central, pictures will be posted later on the blog. Happy New Year to you all!

Tisza & Brian Wedding | Trinity Episcopal Church San Francisco

Tisza and Brian decided to tie the knot at Trinity Episcopal Church in San Francisco, this is one of the Churches I want to shoot because I used to live couple blocks away from there. Parking was really tough over there, luckily we didn't get any tickets althought we forgot to feed the meter. After the ceremony, we went to Lucas film art center for picture session. We only spent about 30 minutes to get all the pictures done because it was getting dark very early, but we all had fun. The banquet was held in New Asia Resturant which can hold 550 guests for Tisza and Brian, yes, it wasn't a typo, 550 guests! I believe this is the record in my wedding photography history.

Thanks to Andrew (Studio MSV) letting me borrow his video light to lit up the gown-

Besides the regular wedding cake, Gabrielle from Cake Coquette also made this A's/Giant for Tisza and Brian!

Lauren Baby Portrait

16 months old Lauren is adorable and also a very smart cute little girl. She knows many alphabets, animals, and understands what we tell her to do in front of my camera. Surprisingly, She even knows how to insert a car key into the keyhole of the trunk, I hope Nicholas will be smart as Lauren when he turns 16 months.
