2008-11-16 Wedding Shoot @ Oceano Hotel and Spa | Half Moon Bay

Charalene and Christopher's wedding was held at Oceano Hotel & Spa located in Half Moon bay. Don't feel too surprised if you have never seen a ceremony at this beautiful indoor ceremony location with a skylight roof , because this hotel just expanded and this shopping mall section is newly built . Charlene and Christopher was very lucky to have worked this out with the hotel and be the first couple to have the wedding ceremony in this unique venue.

I just like the laid back personalities of both of them. Charlene and Christopher are those kind of couple that always takes thing easy and will never got frustrated and never rushed. Christopher , this handsome police officer also demonstrated the calm mind and they are so perfect for each other . They just make everyone feel so comfortable wherever they are and gave me total trust on the whole wedding shooting .

Charlene & Christoper , have a great honey moon in Hawaii !!!!

2008-11-12 What made my day ~~

There are so many things that are so much more important than money...... my client's appreciation .

About a month ago, I shot Sheryll and Philippe's engagement portrait , as I mentioned before, we have a great connection since day 1 we met . We had a lot of fun on the engagement portrait shooting day and they were so happy with the result , Sheryll told me her sister after seeing the pictures called her and couldn't help teared up as she was so happy to see her sister's happy face from heart. After I released the engagement pictures to them, like a week after, I was pleasantly surprised to receive a bottle of red wine from this wonderful couple as a gift. I was thrilled and thats what made my day, this trust and appreciation from my clients is just priceless for me.

2008-11-8 Engagement shoot @ AT & T Park | San Francisco

I was honestly a little worry 1 hr before the photoshoot with Charlene and Christ , the weather in SF was very unstable and rained from time to time. Charlene was a little worry too , but I just use what I got, asked Charlene to bring an umbrella and may be we could do some raining scene shots . Fortunately the rain was not too bad and the result came out great. The location we picked was the AT & T park area in San Francisco and the street nearby. I'm very excited for their wedding day which is coming Sunday in half moon bay .

2008-10-31 halloween wedding shooting @ San Pablo | San Francisco

This got to be one of my favorite weddings , a HALLOWEEN WEDDING. Michelle & Matt are totally untraditional couple and picked the halloween to be their wedding day. The wedding venue is at the Rockefeller Lodge , San Pablo . This lodge is so special , was built in 1906 and has that old vintage feeling that totally fit into Michelle & Matt's style.

As I said, it is an awesome wedding that not only Michelle & Matt's playful personality allow me to bring out all of my creativity, the whole bridal party also enjoy the portrait session and we had a blast just playing and shooting.
