Hiking - Silverstar Washington

Due to my busy working schedule, I spend less time and being lazy to do any exercise and outdoor activities. I can totally tell how weak I am after the long hike with my friends yesterday. Even though it was a tough hike, I do not regret doing it, I had a lot of fun, only feel bad to have my friends waiting and look after me :P.

Seriously! I need to start exercising and stay healthy!

A special day to me

Today is not anyone's birthday, is not my birthday, but it's a special day to me.

Because...finally, I have my chance to spend some quality time with my special one.  I feel happy today, I can't ask for more.

Thank you for everything, you just don't know how much it means to me. ;)

Hello! Portland: Portland Photographer

I love Portland. A beauty city filled with peace and green. Some people may say Portland is a depressing city, however, I can always see the bright side of it. Spending a warm day by myself at the Portland pearl district, I don't feel alone. All those smiling faces warming my heart and keep me smiling. ;)
I had such a delightful evening.

Just wanna to share my joy with you all:

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:
