2009-2-25 Engagement Shoot @ Palo Alto & Mountain View

I just loved the fact that Michelle and Collin decided to sign me up for their wedding after they have interviewed totally 8 photographers. LOVE THEM !

This engagement shoot was done in Palo Alto downtown and a park in mountain view. I always try to make usual shooting location unusual to impressive myself and clients. I like the downtown scene with interesting color shops and also the sunset view in a park in mountain view . How do you like the scene ??

2009-2-24 For wedding photographers : Alisha & Brook's Workshop

Here is the great opportunity to learn from the real Pro. My mentors in 2008, Top 10 Wedding Photographers in the World, Alisha and Brook are having their A+B School Workshop again in their studio in Santa Cruz. They are going to share how they have developed their strengths, promoted their brand and made it on American Photo's list: Top 10 Wedding Photographers in the World. Plus you get to shoot side by side with them for a live photo shoot with their actual client.

I cannot express in words how much I wanted to thank them after I attended their small group workshop last yr. 1 yr ago, I was still struggling with my pricing and branding and I got so inspired by their workshop. I particularly like the 1-on-1 consulting part that helped me on my pricing structure and work flow. They just made my career path so much easier. For all my photographer blog readers here, I here highly highly recommend Alisha and Brook's A+B workshop .

Workshop Dates :

Monday, May 11th

Wednesday, June 25th

Thursday, July 30th

2008-2-17 So proud to be published on the SF City Hall 2009 wedding brochure

If you have been following my post, probably you still remember in 2008 I've shot an awesome wedding for Sue and Andrew in SF City Hall. Couple months later, I got a news from my florist Annie Siu that the SF City Hall Marketing director had selected many of my images to be published in their 2009 Wedding brochure . and one of the magazine in New York is also planning to feature this wedding . Here are some pages in the brochure with my images on it.

2009-2-16 WPPI 2009 pictures

It was an awesome 5 days tour for me in Las Vegas. Got an opportunity to attend a 2 days workshop with one of my all time favourite Australia wedding photographer Yervant, just can't describe the feeling.... shooting side by side with him and learned some cool photoshop skills from him. One of the reason I admire him and respect him so much is not just he is good in wedding photography, but he is also passionate about wedding photography and willing to share his knowledge and experience. Be able to learn from him for 2 days was like a dream comes true experience for me.

In this trip, I also got to know many talented photographers from all around the world , had a lot of fun. I also had a chance to see my mentors, Alisha and Brook again in the Kodak booth. They are one of the Top 10 wedding photographers in the world ~ American Photo 2007. Can't thank this couple enough for giving me great advise in my last year photography business, Alisha and Brook made my life so much easier and I'm so blessed to have not one, but TWO top 10 wedding photographers in the world to be my mentor in my career. Here are some more photos to share for my 5 days trip.


The WPPI 2009 was held in MGM Las Vegas this year.
