Manhattan Beach Engagement Photography | Sylvia & Jack

Tuesday, November 18th, 2008

Hello everyone,

Syliva and Jack were my engagement couple a few months ago at The Arboretum in Arcadia. The two decided to have pictures taken with formal attire. This engagement photo session took us to Manhattan Beach in front of this BEAUTIFUL beach house! The owner of the house was gracious enough to lend her courtyard for the lovely wedding couple. Check it out!

The beautiful architecture and color on this Manhattan Beach house was absolutely amazing!

We found a nice orange bench next to the Manhattan Beach pier to take a short break on after our engagement session. While Sylvia and Jack were watching the sunset, we took a quick shot for them to remember this moment. =)

Sylvia and Jack just left last week to China to get married. They will be touring China for a month! Thank you Sylvia and Jack for making this engagement photo session a fun experience. Special thanks to the owner of the Manhattan Beach house - Stephanie - for allowing us to photograph around her house!!!

Rock on,

Brooklyn New York Engagement Photography

Thursday, October 23rd, 2008

Hello,

I finally found some time to post my third and final engagement session from my last trip to New York City. The other two engagement sessions before Ann and Arun were Tiffany and Ly and Gina and Harvey. Ann and Arun preferred a more quiet engagement session - especially that of New York traffic. We ended up at the neighborhood in Brooklyn where “The Cosby Show” was supposed to replicate. This part of Brooklyn was an amazing place that gave a feel of suburban lifestyle.

We couldn’t help ourselves when we saw these steps!

I found this to be a timeless portrait =)

We snapped away during our walk towards DUMBO (Down Under Manhattan Bridge Overpass). Apparently, it is a famous location where Brooklyn Bridge and the Manhattan Bridge meet.

Thank you Ann and Arun for the tour of Brooklyn. I will definitely revisit that place on my next trip to New York City, which actually might be next month!

New York Fashion Photography

Tuesday, October 14th, 2008

Hello,

Thank you Tiffany and Ly for introducing Harvey and Gina to us! These two spirited investment bankers met while at work a couple of months ago. Gina is aspiring to be a model [and Harvey is conveniently handsome], so she dragged Harvey to take pictures with her. I think the black and whites came out stunningly (see below)!

It was a chilly afternoon, which is why we all went to a random bar to get drinks. This gave us the impression that we were not cold - haha. Anyway, please enjoy!

This is Harvey!

This is Gina!

During my previous trip to New York, I sat on a mailbox while Lawrence clicked away. Harvey being so cool about everything shared my vision.

New York City Engagement Photography

Tuesday, October 14th, 2008

Hi peeps,

Remember Tiffany and Ly? In case you do not, we photographed them a while ago also in New York City (SOHO). Since Harvey and Gina (Tiffany and Ly’s friends) graced us with the opportunity to photograph their engagement/fashion session, Tiffany and Ly asked me to photograph them as well, which is always a pleasant opportunity because they are such nice people.

After shooting a wedding on Saturday, I took the red eye flight to New York to get ready for this session on Sunday. Anyway, we photographed most of our session at the “Meat Packing District,” which is now converted into a trendy neighborhood. The Meat Packing District was heavily used for “Sex and the City” television show. New Yorkers should know where this is - awesome location!

Some inspiration never hurt! O_o

We tried with picking Tiffany up…

…but that pose seems harder than it looks on television.

There’s the Meat Packing District!

That is one smoking bike! I never quite understood the reason for all of the noise for Harleys, but people dig it.

Overall, it is always an adventure with Tiffany and Ly. I love them and I love New York. I cannot wait until I can go back.

Santa Monica Engagement Photography | Nancy and Edward

Monday, September 15th, 2008

Hello,

Last post for today! I will follow up with some weddings later this week.

Nancy and Edward had two engagements for one day! Thanks to Tang and Tawny for helping me with this one. We three photographed a wedding in San Diego (Japanese Friendship Garden in Balboa Park) just the evening before, so I was a little fatigued. However, Nancy and Edward’s upbeat personalities made it so enjoyable.

Nancy and Edward first took pictures at Santa Monica’s Farmers’ Market. Afterward, we trekked to Claremont where the LA Fair was hosted. Both locations were uber fun. After posting it on my FaceBook, I later found out that my friend, Joephy, is Edward’s coworker at Spot Runner. What a small world.
