Keep on going...

Didn't update my blog for so long, busy? busy? busy? There are always excuses! isn't? It's been a tough year, not just to mention about catching up all my deadlines on time, but emotionally, there were lots of things going on. But that's life, right?  I've learned my lesson. Thank you for all your support and understanding. I owe you all hugs and kisses.
I can't make everyone love me and my work, but hope that you won't hate it!

Jessie & Thanh

Every love story begins somewhere. Theirs? Began in a coffee shop...
This is one fun sweet photo session with Jessie and Thanh. No artificial. They are naturally SWEET! We went to a few places in Portland for our photo session, coffee shop, ice-cream place, waterfront, Saturday market! It was so much fun working and hanging out with this couple!
On this Saturday, this couple is one step closer to their new journey! Congratulations!! Their wedding big day is just around the corner! I m very excited and feel honored to be their photographer on the wedding day! And here are some of their sweet moments I would like to share with you all. Hope you enjoy it!

Again! Congratulation! Jessie and Thanh, I m looking forward to your big day!
And thank you for the cool moon handmade ice-cream! It makes my work a lot sweeter!!

The ice-cream was sooo good, I couldn't resist...I had to have it even when I was working :P

What are you going to do with your wedding dress?
Are you thinking to suffocate your wedding dress in plastic and throw it in a closet for years? OR get it out, get some great “Trash the Dress” pictures and show your husband how committed you are by trashing the dress?

Who said you can’t do more pictures with your husband after your wedding? Get your hubby in again! Let’s have both of you fly back to the wedding day, and feel the joy again. 

Here is the photo session with Lindy and Dang.

Thanks Lindy and Dang for giving me this opportunity to capture all these fun and romantic moments for you. I had so much fun with your photo session. We got to do all the things that I normally couldn’t do on a wedding day photo shoot. We went up hill, down to the water and climbed rocks! It was a super fun day.

And of course, I have to thank my magic team again, Kellen Eason and Nadia Kingston for doing Lindy’s hair and makeup. Lindy looked absolutely beautiful.

Tracy & Peter: Portland Wedding

The great thing about being a wedding photographer is to be able experiencing different cultures and customs.

Tracy and Peter had a traditional Chinese wedding, but added a little TaiShan custom in it. It was like every other Chinese wedding, the bride dressed up with the red Chinese-style unlined garment, kneed down with the groom, poured tea to the elders in their family and the elders gave back red pockets and jewelries in return.
In TaiShan, the rice dumpling soup in the wedding is part of the tradition, they believe it will bring fortune to their marriage. Tracy and Peter were very hospitable, they served me some dumpling during the tea ceremony. It was my first time to try the TaiShan dumpling soup, and it was pretty good.

I was fully charged after a bowl of yummy rice dumpling soup, that giving me more energy to continue my long day with the couple.

Here are some pictures of their wedding day:
