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!

Happy New Year everyone! 2009 definitely has been a crazy year and I found myself busier than I ever have been. Now I’m trying to catch up and post pictures of all the beautiful brides and handsome grooms that I’ve had the honor to take :). Let’s start with Jennifer and Eric. They were such a fun and exciting couple to take photos of. Also, they chose a location that I’ve never taken photos at before which made it even more fun!
As the wedding season is starting to wind down this year (still a couple more to go), I now have more time to update my site… I apologize for being so bad at it! When you’re shooting about 4-5 weddings a month, it’s hard to find any time to do anything else. My girlfriend definitely knows that!
I shot Michelle and Ron’s wedding back in April and found it to be (and still is) one of my most favorite weddings. They’re the reason I love shooting weddings. They’re such an awesome couple, their bridal party was fun to work with, and their families were so friendly and made sure I was well taken care of. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - chemistry is very very important between the photographer and the clients. If it’s not there, the photos turn out bland and uninspiring, and that is unacceptable. So, as a couple that is out looking for a photographer, I urge you to interview as many photographers as you can and don’t settle on one right away. There might be a gem that you may overlook. What’s important is that you take the time to find a photographer that you can really get along with. The quality of the photos will always be better.
I LOVE her bird’s nest veil!
She is such a beautiful bride!
During the reception, they had Kawayan Folk Arts come and perform some awesome dances.
This is my favorite shot of the night.
These were shot in the beautiful Napa Valley at the Castillo Di Amarosa Winery, downtown St. Helena, and downtown Yountville. I have to say, lighting was definitely on my side this time!
These last four are my absolute favorites!
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 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 :).
