Janice + Kelvin | Engagement Session | UC Davis, California

I met Janice six years ago in an amazing college outreach program called Upward Bound at the UC Davis. Undoubtedly one of the BEST college outreach programs out there in the country.  Six years later, Janice is getting married to this handsome lad. I went down to Davis again to photograph their engagement.  I’m loving this town.  So many places to do cool shots.

Please feel free to leave me a nice comment and let me know you dropped by!

Jing + Johnny | La Venta Inn Palos Verdes | Los Angeles, CA

Jing and Johnny had their intimate wedding at La Venta Inn over looking a beautiful view of the beach in Palos Verdes Estates.  I fell in love with La Venta Inn when I first saw it. The Spanish style house was built as a priviate residence in the 1920’s.  Jing and Johnny’s ceremony was held in La Venta Inn’s outdoor patio where view is just super awesome.  You can see the entire city of L.A and Santa Monica!  The reception was just a blast to photograph because of the amazingly fun friends and family that Jing and Johnny had. As you can see from the photos, the drinks kept on coming all night long for Johnny.  Thank you for having me as your photographer guys! The wedding planner from La Venta Inn did a great job in making this wedding awesome.  I can’t wait to photograph a wedding here again.  Special thanks to my good friend Conrad Lim for coming out to second shoot this wedding for me.

Wedding Venue: La Venta Inn, Palos Verdes Estates

Jai Lao Family Session | San Ramon Wedding Photographer

There are some people you meet along the way in life that you’re just glad you got to know. I am very glad I crossed paths with La. Her contribution to the Lao community has been an inspiration for me and many other Laotians around the world. I first met La a couple years ago when she invited me to photograph and showcase Laotian cuisine to fundraise for the Jai Lao foundation. The photos were turned into calendars, which proceeds helped contribute to noble causes like build schools in Laos and a college scholarship for Laotian Americans. I’m honored to be friends with this woman who is so generous and caring. I went to La’s home in San Ramon to photograph her beautiful family.

Michelle + Pete | Pacific Palms Resort Wedding

They’ve been dating for over 15 year before tying the knot.  Can someone say finally?! This outdoor wedding was held in the City of Industry in a private ranch called “Lil Suzy”. Cool name.

Guest shooter for Miguel Pola. Photography Locations: Pacific Palms Resort Hotel, Homestead Museum, City of Industry

We were actually granted full access to photograph at the Homestead Museum in the City of Industry.  Very few people have been privileged enough to do this. 

And after the wedding we had a little fun with the go karts.
