Audrey + Devin: The Happiest Day! (San Jose, CA)

San_Francisco_wedding_photographer_San_Jose_Ranch_Golf_Club_wedding_01
The moment I stepped into the room during the makeup session, I already felt the joy emitted by the jubilant bride. Weddings are usually action packed within limited time and the bride and groom are usually pretty stressed. But Audrey's uplifting spirit made everyone around her in a livelier mood. It was cool that Audrey put together a very special bridal party with men only!

As we were preparing for the tea ceremony at Devin's parents house, Audrey and Devin added an impromptu 'First-look' session there! Such a unique idea to incorporate the First look into the traditional Chinese Door game! And it was one cute and sweet first look of the bride! The Chinese tea ceremony was also a new and special experience for the groom's parents and grandparents.

The reception continued at the Ranch Golf Club. Led by the cheerful dancing bride and the aspiring disc-hockey groom, everyone there celebrated this happiest day with the newlywed and enjoyed themselves to the fullest.

I wish Audrey and Devin a wonderful journey together and every day forward as happy as their wedding day!

And many thanks to Joseph Tan for nailing another wedding with me!

Tiffany + Hilary: A lovely e-Session in the Santa Cruz serenity

San_Francisco_wedding_photographer_Engagement_session_UC_Santa_Cruz_Natural_Bridges_01 It's been a while since I've been on the UC Santa Cruz campus for photo shoots. Thanks Tiffany and Hilary for bringing me to this peaceful, secluded campus for a wonderful afternoon. The Natural Bridges State Beach was also a gorgeous place. Although it was a bit windy and cloudy, it was still a beautiful view with many animals as our backdrop. Before the photo session, Tiffany was a bit nervous and was afraid that they wouldn't look at ease in the pictures. As I assured them, they did really well in front of my camera, and I'm sure they will look even more awesome on their wedding day!
