Julie & John Engagement - Golden Gate Park De Young Museum

This engagement I shooted in different style from other session. Julie and John dressed up nicely and I think elegant and classic style pictures will fit them best. I picked Golden Gate Park De Young Museum for them because the museum building is designed in comtemprory style, and the garden courtyard provided well landscape background which the couple loves the most. In here, I want to thank Julie's mother because she helped them carrying jacket and stuffs and also reminded Julie to smile. I also have to thank to John brought a bottle of nice champange to share, we took a little break during the session and enjoyed ourselves in the park. Congratulations again for Julie and John's engagement.

Verna & Reuben Engagement - Baker Beach

Verna and Reuben are a very happy couple, their smiles made my job very easy in their engagement session. We went to Baker Beach in San Francisco one of the weekday because we want to have the picture taken with less people on the beach. Althought it wasn't a sunny day, Verna's green dress cheer up the color of all the pictures. Reuben did a very good job on taking care of Verna during the session, even he just got off from work (he is a night shift nurse) and drove all the way from Vallejo to SF, what a strong boy. I can't wait to see them again in front of my lens with the wedding gown and tuxedo.

Alison & Pete Wedding, Los Altos United Methodist Church

Weddings should be as unique as who you are. That's the exactly reason why I love what I do. My vision for each wedding is to bring out the couple's character and who they really are. If you love my photography, it's because of you. I shine because you shine in front of my lens.

I heart Alison and Pete. I am constantly amazed at the wonderful couples I get to work with. I love Alison's wedding gown, adore the pretty details, and what really gets me going is the great moments. The light sabre grand entrance is awesome and the Star Wars slideshow is UNFORGETTABLE! All these elements came together for me to tell an unique story. And this is what your wedding is about.

Christine & Matthew Wedding - Bridges Golf Club, San Ramon

When Christine and Matthew first came to me, I immediately knew they would have a fun wedding. Christine is a such character - she's a hilarious person who always has a big smile on her face and making any situation more fun! Matthew is the perfect balance for her with his sweet, patient nature.

Christine and Matthew tied the knot at the beautiful The Bridges Golf Club in San Ramon - my neck of the wood. Although I have done a lot of weddings at this place, each wedding is different! Their wedding reception's main theme is for everyone to participate and have great fun together. With DJ - D from Yabata.com, you'd know they have achieved this goal when everyone is up dancing and having a blast.

Linda & Edward Engagement - North Beach, Embarcadero Ferry Building

The first time I met Linda and Edward was at Jennifer and Michael's wedding. Linda is Jennifer's sister and Edward was one of Michael's groomsmen. I still remember the awesome wedding at Pacific Athletic Club. This time around, I was honored to be documenting Linda & Edward's engagement.

North Beach is such an unique area in the City. I love coming here for pasta and desserts. I know this area particularly well as I worked in a wine shop back in the days. The European influenced streets provide a nice romantic backdrop with some awesome colors while the city feel gives a little chic and twist to this energetic couple!

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.
