I had to an assign­ment to shoot Dal­las Mav­er­icks NBA game day before Sumi & TJ’s Wed­ding. Took crazy early Sat­ur­day morn­ing flight to Port­land,  pretty much start tak­ing pic­tures as soon as I arrived.  I fly to Port­land at least sev­eral times a year, usu­ally on night flights but this time was lit­tle nervous. I knew I had plenty of time since the cer­e­mony starts at 4 but wanted to get there as soon as I could.  As a mat­ter of fact, I got there 20 min early and  start tak­ing their wed­ding pho­tos at 10 AM.  We dis­cussed pos­si­ble out­door wed­ding pic­ture loca­tions around Port­land area prior to their wed­ding and pearl dis­trict was one of Sumi’s choice.  View rest of the images by click­ing the image below (pass­word is Sumi’s last name).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Happy  St. Patricks Day. March has been busy month for me shoot­ing lots of bas­ket­ball games.  Here are just a few images from Jose and Maria’s wed­ding at the Gun­ther house in San Antonio.

I had the chance to pho­to­graph Chris­t­ian and Jonathan’s incred­i­ble wed­ding pho­tos at the Holy Trin­ity Catholic Church in San Anto­nio. I live close to this area (stone oak) but it was my first time to pho­to­graph there.  When I vis­ited this church before the wed­ding, I knew I had to bring vari­ety of lenses to cap­ture their wed­ding photos.

I wasn’t able to come close by dur­ing the cer­e­mony so I brought my bas­ket­ball lens — a canon 300 2. 8 is lens.  Shoot­ing far away so that no one can hear shut­ter sound.  It would have been per­fect if my sec­ond shooter (David) wasn’t there.  But he was wear­ing com­pletely black suit.  With 300 2.8 is lens. I can take very tight shots like bride and groom hold­ing hands, kisses, ring exchange wed­ding pho­tos from far way.

Pho­tographed the wed­ding of Mar­lena & Kris this past week­end at the First Uni­tar­ian Uni­ver­sal­ist Church of San Anto­nio.

 

I like to use longer lens to cap­ture moments like this.  Shot with canon 85 1.2 in avail­able light. Read more

Bridal pho­tos were taken in early April but I had to wait until after the wed­ding to post pic­tures on my blog.  Now that Kris and Mar­lena are mar­ried, I can show her images here on my blog.  It was beau­ti­ful day to shoot and bride to be Mar­lena looked absolutely gorgeous.

Avail­able light wasn’t too good.  I ended up using one 580 EX II as a kicker light to shape her body and also light up her face just a lit­tle. Bridal pho­tos were shot with Canon 85 1.2 for shal­low depth of field.  There’s a lot of nice places to pho­to­graph bride and groom’s por­trait here in San Anto­nio and Landa Park is by far one of my favorite place to shoot.  I really liked to see Marlena’s bridal pho­tos dis­placed at the recep­tion on a wed­ding day and com­ment I was get­ting from the guest were price­less.  Thanks again for hav­ing us for wed­ding photographer~

Darie & Yvonne had a fan­tas­tic wed­ding at the one of the very famous wed­ding venue in San Anto­nio Texas — the Mar­riage island. Cou­ple got ready at the Con­tessa Hotel by the river­walk.  This place is such a great place for the wed­ding pho­tog­ra­pher since get­ting ready, cer­e­mony, recep­tion, and bride and groom por­traits all  can be done at the same place.

I pho­tographed Royce & Anita’s engage­ment ses­sion last month and I was so thank­ful for them to con­tact me to cap­ture their spe­cial day.  Royce & Anita’s fam­ily knew my name when I showed up (my name is kind of hard to pro­nounce cor­rectly).  I felt very com­fort­able from the begin­ning to the end of their wedding.

A beau­ti­ful wed­ding & a beau­ti­ful cou­ple, thank you Royce & Anita.
