2008-12-28 Finalized new studio location, Excited Excited !!

Wish everyone had a great Christmas Holiday !! in the last 2 weeks I have been busy wrapping up some editing work and released the online album for a wedding in Oceano Hotel , Half Moon Bay I photographed last month. Charlene and Chris was excited getting the final images in the christmas holiday :)

One more thing I was busying at, was to finalize my new studio / gallery location , YEAH YEAH I'm done with the seaching and I am happy to tell everyone my studio location will be in Belmont ( near san mateo ) . Currently finding furniture , and getting all studio material prepared, such as all kind of albums, enlargement and canvas.

The new studio will be the place I meet all my future clients and also one very important function is to allow me to expand my 1-on-1 digital photography class . In order to better promote digital photography , in 2009, I am planning to organize more digital photography classes in my new studio , the format will be more like a small group from 2 - 5 beginner students who wants to jump start their photography skill , usually 7 hrs day class. Shoot me an email if you are interested for the class in January and February .

Alright,, here is a sneak preview of my new studio . Getting excited !!

2008-11-9 Engagement Shooting @ Embarcadero & Crissy Field

Michelle & Craig has not only been an awesome couple to me , but also my big blog fan. Especially Michelle, she is definitely one excited bride and getting more and more excited when every time I have new post and now is finally her turn for some engagement portrait . That was a beautiful sunny day near the embarcadero area and you can see the whole bay bridge and golden gate bride clearly, we lucked out !! as the week before was still pouring rain. It was such a beautiful day and I just couldn't help putting more focus on the clear sky and the dramatic cloud. I'm in love with the blue sky images !!!

2008-11-17 Hong Kong Trip | Wedding Gift to Andrew & Florence

Have been busy after I came back from Hong Kong a week ago, now gradually posting more pictures I took over there. I went back to Hong Kong for a 2 week vacation , well actually the main reason I went back this time was to attend my best friend Andrew and Florence's wedding, and YES I was the Best Man !! yeah !! I was so excited as I have been always going to weddings to photograph but now finally got a chance to be a guest and just relax and have fun.

The first thing I arrived Hong Kong, wasn't going back to sleep, but attended the groomsmen and bridesmaids gathering and I have a secret gift for Andrew & Florence ...... A special album for this special couple with the engagement pictures we took in Macau back in Feb early this year. Being a wedding photographer and the best man, how can I just randomly pick a cheesy gift for my best friends' wedding. They just loved this album as they have never seen this TRENDY, EARTHY, ALIVE and TEXTURED wedding album. ( and they didn't know I will make an album for them ) :) Surprised !!!
