Welcome to my blog I'm a wedding photographer in the San Francisco Bay Area, with a very simple philosophy and style:
I shoot life, as it happens. I thrive on shooting split-second moments that mark
life-altering experiences: an extended gaze, a touch of the hand, a tearful smile.

I capture the details that few people notice, the moments everyone wants to remember,
and ultimately the feelings that can be relived, over and over, for years and decades to come.

Thank you for taking the time to check out my blog. I hope it gives you some
insight into my skills, experience and professionalism. Please contact me if you
have any questions or are interested booking an appointment.

Traveling by car from Bakersfield to Palo Alto is a grueling drive just for a an engagement session. Just to show how much they love their alma mater (Standford University), they did it twice. I, however, would like to think they made the efforts for my ultra incredible photography skills.

I could remember vividly when we met up at the doorstep of Nordstrom Rack a few weeks back. Kristin walked through the doors with a really bright yellow dress she'd bought just for the photo shoot. The only thing britgher than her dress was that huge-perfect-set-of-teeth smile. I was very sadden that we had to part way just minutes later because it was pouring outside. We had to reschedule the session.

However, God made it up for us with near perfect weather today and I finally get to blog that yellow dress...and that huge-perfect-set-of-teeth smile. Not only that, I was able to hang out with two wonderful persons, Kristin and Ryan. I cannot wait to be there at your wedding at the Palm Event Center.

I'm very pleased and honored that one of my wedding shoots is featured on a very popular online Hindu wedding magazine, Maharani Weddings. Astha and Tom tied the knot at Casa Real Winery. Their wedding extravaganza, from flower arrangements to decors, were created by Amrit at Anais Event Planning and Design. Click here to see Astha and Tom's full wedding post on my blog.

As you can see, Heather and Derrick are nature lovers and big fans of the redwoods. It's one of the reasons we started our session at Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park. More important, it was their playground while attending Santa Cruz University.

This is a banana slug, a common resident. Somehow, it became the face of Santa Cruz University...as its mascot. Until yesterday, I have never heard off or seen one before.

Two things you should know about Vivienne and Ryan's wedding: 

1) After San Jose took a beating by mother nature all week long, I was praying for her to give me only one hour to shoot the portrait on Saturday. Result: we had one hour of cloudy sky and no sun. BAM! I finally learn that praying does work.

2) Despite the temporary stoppage of rain, it was still cold. The bridal party was so gracious to endure some serious goose bumps and actually did everything I asked of them. I learned that they really love Vivienne and Ryan...or they just simply owe them money.

Our photography team had a blast. Even though grueling, it was one of the jubilant weddings we've ever attended. Choosing the right bridal party members does make a huge difference in making your day more special.

Here are the contributing vendors to make their beautiful wedding:

Cake: Euro Delight
Hair and Make-up: Friends and Family
Flowers; H&L Flowers
Church: Cathedral Basilica of St. Joseph
Reception Venue: Dynasty Restaurant on Story Rd.
Wedding Gown: Marina Morrison
Limo: Lone Star Limousine
