2008-9-26 Watching my friend's kids growing up

Yesterday I have an opportunity to meet Bata , Elizabeth and their kids again . Haven't seen them for 3 years and all the kids is so much taller now.

It is not only good to see them again , but me and Bata were still talking about the pictures I took for the kids in a picnic we went back then. Specifically Ana's pic I took for her 3 years ago, how much we liked it. This little princess could barely speak any word back in 2005 :) It is so fun to see them growing up.

2008-9-12 My favourite florist Annie Siu's event

Friday, I was helping Annie Siu out , shooting some of her floral settings for a corporate event. Again , San Francisco City Hall. It was great to have some more opportunities to hang out with this great floral designer. As this was not a wedding event, I got some time to chat and hangout with her,so have more time to observe her and her team works, great .

2008-9-6 Ritz-Carlton Half Moon Bay ~ Vicky & Jim's wedding

Shooting a wedding at Ritz Carlton Half Moon Bay , I just never felt that I was working. In such a gorgeous location and the fresh air, shooting Vicky & Jim's wedding was just the most pleasant thing to do.

Jim is the vice president of marketing & product of a technology company while Vicky is in banking and financial industry. The wedding ceremony and the reception were both in Ritz Carlton Half Moon Bay. Love Love Love this location. As Jim is a golf lover, we were all excited to have some great shot at the golf course and also the beach. Every single details of the setup and the schedule were carefully coordinated by the Ritz Carlton Hotel, beautiful wedding.

Well, how do I manage to shoot a wedding on saturday, came back home at 12:00am , and able to put all highlight pics and slideshow online on sunday noon, email me and I will tell you the secret :) my email is chung@chungliphotography.com :)
