Lawrence Ha Photography bio picture

One Moment, One Click, One Wonderful Memory. That's what wedding photography is all about. It's capturing those moments so that you can cherish them forever. It is an honor for me to shoot weddings because I'm given the opportunity to tell a beautiful story through photographs. It gives me the ability to show everyone what true love is through my eyes. Your wedding day is all about you. It's about the memories you will make. It's about the moments that you will remember forever. I take great pride in taking the best photographs that I'm capable of. I'm not in the game to be the best photographer out there; I'm only out to be the best photographer for you. That to me, is most important.

The website/blog serves two purposes, first and foremost as a photo portfolio to showcase my work. Second, it serves as a blog so you can see into my world and learn a bit about me and my personality. I believe it to be the utmost importance to pick a photographer that you can get along with; a photographer that makes you laugh and feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. Great photos happen when you are yourself, not when you are reserved. Through this blog I hope to show you my best work and my personality to help you figure out if I'm the right photographer for you. Thanks for visiting and I hope to hear from you!

Phuong and Matt’s Wedding

June 21, 2009 – 12:12 pm

Some days were just meant for you. These are the days where everything is perfect and there shouldn’t be anything in the world that will prevent you from getting some nice shots. I believe Phuong and Matt’s day was one of those days. On top of having such awesome (and gorgeous) people to photograph, I was given the perfect day and the perfect location to shoot a wedding and I couldn’t have asked for more. The lighting outdoors was great. The lighting indoors was amazing. I just wish I have more days like this. Congratulations guys! It was an honor and a privilege to be able to shoot your wedding :).









Phuong was definitely rocking the Jimmy Choos




Yup, you guessed it, Sprinkles Cupcakes.. Red Velvet I believe :).














My FAVORITE shot of the day :).

















She was definitely smiling throughout the day :)

Aileen and David’s Engagement Photos

June 20, 2009 – 1:02 pm

Aileen and David were such a fun couple to take photos of. I always love meeting great people because not only do the photos come out a lot better, I end up with a great new set of friends. You can really tell that they love each other by looking at the photos, and that’s the kind of love that many people out there are constantly searching for. Best of luck to you guys in your future together, and see you at the Sake Lounge sometime soon :).

Jane and The’s Wedding Portraits

April 22, 2009 – 3:43 pm

I always love it when clients do something out of the norm. In this case, Jane opted to rock a beige colored wedding gown instead of a off-white/white gown. I thought it looked fantastic on her! As a word of advice to all people planning their weddings - don’t be afraid to do something different! You’ve most likely been to quite a few weddings to see the similarities. Try something out of the box! Try a bridesmaid dress that’s not red, blue, green or yellow; try something other than flowers for centerpieces! You only have one chance to really make this day yours, so go with it and do something that you’ll remember forever!

Mary and Minh’s Engagement Photos

April 22, 2009 – 1:06 pm

Most of you can agree with me that being in front of a camera is not easy. You want to look good in your photos but at the same time, you’re constantly worrying that you’ll have a funny face or that you’re going to smile funny. The only way you’re going to have a good photo of yourself is to let go of all inhibitions and just have fun! This is where it’s so important for the photographer to make their subjects feel really comfortable with you. No matter how nervous they are in the beginning, it’s your job as a photographer to warm them up and just have fun with you. If that doesn’t happen, then it’ll be really hard to get good photos.

This cute couple is Minh and Mary, whom I’ll be shooting their wedding this May. When I first met up with them, they were a bit nervous because like most people out there, they have never had photos taken of them “professionally” (I still have a problem saying that word, as I don’t consider myself a professional photographer at all). After a bit of just getting to know each other and a few test shots, they really broke out of their shell and had fun. I’m totally looking forward to shooting their wedding!

Melissa and Brian’s Wedding

April 21, 2009 – 11:52 pm

This was one of the first weddings I’ve ever had to shoot in the rain. Thankfully with modern technology, the photos don’t look as gloomy as the day was! I used a warming filter to spruce up the day. It also added a nice tone to Melissa’s skin and also the bouquets!

Also, I think I’ll be investing more into prime lenses. After shooting with the 50mm f/1.4 for so long now, I’ve found hat the images are tack sharp in comparison to any zoom lens I’ve ever used, such as the 24-70mm f/2.8L. The 70-200mm f/2.8L IS is the sharpest zoom lens I’ve ever used but even that doesn’t really compare when I shoot similar photos. I think I will be investing in a 24mm f/1.4L II. I will keep you all posted on the results!
