Hello!  I’m blogging from Orlando, Florida!  I’m out here shooting a wedding on Saturday so my sister and I decided to come out a few days early and head over to Universal Studios/Wizarding World of Harry Potter and Disney World!  I’m beyond excited, but when we arrived it was pouring rain!  Hopefully the wet weather doesn’t dampen our spirits or fun!

I shot Diane and Vince’s engagement session in SF awhile back and they’re married now!  I’m happy to share this awesome wedding with you all!  I’m also excited to share a wedding my sister, Zina assisted with me!

Traveling back in time again for another wedding I assisted Junshien with!  If a wedding could come out of a fairy tale this would be it!  I loved this venue!!!  I literally felt like I traveled through a storybook into this magical land!  Enjoy!

Venue – Nestledown, Los Gatos

Junshien hard at work!  =P

Nanette + Doug started the day off with a Chinese Tea Ceremony and afterwards we went over to their brand new house to take photos.  Did I mention their house is absolutely beautiful?!?!  They themed their wedding around Nanette’s love for her turtles and they even got to make a special appearance in one of the photos!  The weather was so amazing and it really made me miss Southern California!  I’m so glad I was able to capture all these moments and a big thank you to Louis for assisting me!

Location – Alta Vista Country Club

Didn’t I say their house was amazing?

When I saw their tub I knew I HAD to get her into it!  It was inspired by a photo I saw Junshien take before!

Isn’t this apron so cute?

The turtles!

I thought this was such a cute idea for “something blue”

Nanette + Doug share a love for basketball.  It was kind of how they first met.  Isn’t this ball just the coolest?  It has their wedding date on it!

Lotto ticket favors!  I heard someone actually won several hundred dollars!

My first wedding where they served ice cream cake!  It was so delicious!

Alaina and Chris got married at the beautiful and historic Palace Hotel in San Francisco!

I thought it would be fun to see what an entire wedding looks like in b&w.

DEBORAH + TAM | WEDDING

March 26, 2010

The next few dozen weddings I’m going to post I’ll be traveling back in time.
All images are for Junshien Wedding + Portraits <–Check him out he’s awesome!

The infamous chinese door games

First look

Hey look it’s RJ of Supreme Soul from ABDC

This was my last wedding of 2009!!!  Angela + Sam had an amazingly beautiful fall wedding at the Ambassador Campus in Pasadena.  I absolutely fell in love with the Ambassador Campus!  It’s such a beautiful venue!!!

Having known Angela + Sam since college it’s been such a blessing to see their relationship blossom and I’m so thrilled they’re married!  This wedding was full of heartfelt moments and so much laughter.  I need to give both Angela + Sam major props because they were both really sick on their wedding day, but you can’t tell from the photos!  They were drinking cold medicine like juice and moments before the ceremony having to use throat spray so they can say their vows loud enough for others to hear!  I’m so happy for you guys and I wish the both of you much love and happiness in your marriage!

A big thank you to Louis Trinh for coming out to 2nd shoot for me! He captured a lot of beautiful images!!!

DARA + ROHIT | WEDDING

December 2, 2009

Hello from Korea!  I hope everyone had an amazing Thanksgiving!  I’m here in Korea for vacation, but I’ve been working hard to get all my weddings edited so keep checking the blog because I have plenty of updates coming!!!

If I could describe Dara + Rohit’s wedding, I think I would choose to say it was like an adult children’s party!  The bright colors, balloons, fun activities, and casual setting made this wedding super memorable.  The day went smoothly and they got to spend a lot of time with their family and friends which was what they really wanted to do!  Thank you so much for letting me capture these moments for you.  And a huge thank you to Ian Lee for capturing some awesome moments as well!!!

Ian got this awesome pic of Dara getting ready

First look

I just loved this angle Ian caught of the ring shot

So fun!!!!

My favorite!

I was so excited to shoot Jasia + Daniel’s wedding!  The weather was absolutely perfect compared to the dreaded SF fog we experienced the whole week prior.  I think Jasia + Daniel did an amazing job planning their wedding while busy with their residency and living in Southern California!  A big thank you to Clarence Harvey for assisting me on this wedding!

Location – Sutro Heights Park
Reception – Koi Palace

We started the day off at the Palace of Fine Art to do their first look and portraits!







One of my favs!
















One of the most unique rings I’ve seen so far!  Daniel loves surfing so they got waves engraved into his ring!!!

He came all the way from China to make this special calligraphy piece for them!


I love how they decorated their car!  The Dr. Dr. picture is hilarious!

The PHOTOWALL was a huge hit at Jasia + Daniel’s wedding!  Here are some fun images we got from the night!

If any of my current clients want to add the photowall to their wedding packages I’ll do it at a discounted rate so just shoot me an email!

This is how Jasia + Daniel felt after a long day!

APRIL + JASON | WEDDING

October 14, 2009

I went to church with April + Jason when I lived in Irvine.  Although I didn’t know them too well throughout college I was so thrilled when they hired me to shoot their wedding.  Even at their engagement session I had a feeling their wedding would be something special!  I feel like I’ve gotten to know them so much better throughout this process and I can see how they’re such a perfect fit for each other.  It was so sweet to see how Jason was so attentive to April on their big day.  He constantly asked me how she was doing and if she needed anything.  He said he just wanted everything to be perfect for her!

Get ready for a mega post!  There were just so many moments I wanted to share it was hard for me to narrow it down to show on the blog so I figured why not just post everything I want?!

I want to thank Crystal for helping me out that day!

April made all the centerpieces!

Putting a wedding dress on usually takes everyone’s help!!!

They decided to do a first look.  It was cute because Jason really wanted it to be a first look so he walked backwards all the way down before he turned around to see his beautiful bride!

For a second they couldn’t find the ring!  Everyone thought they were joking around but suddenly Jason picked up something off the ground!!!!  PHEW!

The bridal party entrance was hilarious!

April + Jason treated the guests to a few songs throughout the reception!  They were really good!!!!

Instead of clanking the glasses for a kiss they told the guests they would imitate whatever the guests did.  Their guests were not shy!!!

They had to do a combo fo these two kisses.

These kids had enough of the kissing!

They did the traditional Korean ceremony called Paebaek after the reception.
