When I first started wedding photography, I made it the utmost importance to improve my photography; to make each photo look the best that it could. As time went by, I found myself continually finding new ways to challenge myself to improve over the last wedding. That, however, came with consequences. Because I spent so much time improving my compositional, artistic, and photoshop skills, that left no time for me to create nice albums. I mean, seriously though, what good is a nice album if you don’t have nice photos to put in them, right? Now that I feel a little more confident about my photos, I’m able to spend more time with other companies out there to create the perfect flush mount album for my clients. Then I thought to myself, which couple should I start with? There wasn’t anyone else I could think of but two of my best friends, Jobie and Joanelle, who just got married in the Philippines a week ago (and I was so fortunate to attend). Here are the layouts for the album itself. I think it came out nicely for my first try. Like improving on my photos, I will continually challenge myself to create better layouts. I will keep you all posted once the lab comes back with the finished product.
Oh, and by the way… here’s a teaser from their wedding in the Philippines :). I will be posting more up shortly! I can easily say that their wedding was probably the best one I’ve ever shot!

Joanelle and Jobie’s Flush Mount Album
Tam and Jeff’s Wedding
Their wedding was on the auspicious date 8/08/2008. In Chinese superstition, this is a VERY good date because in Cantonese, the pronunciation for the number eight and “to make money” are almost the same. When people say it three times in a row, it pretty much means you’ll make a lot of money, really fast. Hopefully this rubs off on this couple, because Tam an Jeff truly deserve it. They are a great couple and it was such a delight to work with them. Not only were they welcoming, but all their family and friends were very hospitable and made the day a whole lot of fun for me :). Congratulations guys, I hope the best for you both in your future together!
Be careful what you are doing around me when I have my camera, you just might end up getting a photo taken of you with a banana in your mouth!
It’s all about the details :).
Nancy and Paul
I’ve known Nancy since grade school and it’s such a trip to see her all grown up and ready to get married. It was definitely an honor for me when she asked me to shoot her wedding. We shot photos at Concannon Winery in Livermore, CA. I was surprised to see how much Livermore has bloomed in terms of the wine industry. It’s quite impressive. Looks like Napa may one day have some competition. Not any day soon, of course ;).
