Hanbok Photo-shoot

Hanbok means Korean traditional dress. 
I had a studio photo-shoot for the renowned Hanbok designer, Mehee Kim. 
It was my first time to shoot Hanbok as a fashion collection. 
I was quite blown away by the beauty of it.
So simple, but so elaborate at the same time. 
It is elegantly feminine yet, so sexy without exposing the body-line. 
Mehee Kim also has new collection of modernized Hanbok. 
She successfully added contemporary edge to Hanbok without losing its traditional identity.

Rochelle + Bradley

When I first met Rochelle and Brad at my studio I could tell right away that they are so much in love. Even though they were both soft spoken and had few words I could sense they are true soul-mates.  This is what I love about being a wedding photographer. Being around people in love makes me feel great about life. Rochelle first met Brad in Las Vegas visiting a former teacher of her little brother who passed away from brain cancer. Rochelle thinks it was her seven year old brother in Heaven who got them together. The couple wed in the beautiful Sacred Heart Chapel on Loyola Marymount University campus.

GRACE + JASON

Compassionate, funny and theatrically talented bride, Grace.

Gentle, thoughtful and culinarily talented groom, Jason.

Together they created one of the most festive wedding I have shot

on Sunday night. Wedding planning was done by their dear friend,

Nellie Mun from Pleasant Surprise Events. Everything was put together

so seamlessly and beautifully.

Yosemite Trip

Every summer about 8 to 10 families in the neighborhood have a vacation together in Yosemite.  
It became a much expected annual event of summer. Magnificent nature, swimming
in the river, biking under the moonlight, BBQ feast on the sand beach and no-driving
no-cell-phone for 5 days. I finally put together the footage from June 2009.
Sorry, I could not find any appropriate photo of myself.

Personal Favorites / Engagement Session

These are some of my personal favorites from engagement session portfolio. 

I try best to personalize each shoot to the bride and the groom. 

I would like my photos to show who they are in real life.

STEPHANIE + ABRAHAM

Youth is beautiful. Anything is possible when you are young.
That was what I thought through out the whole wedding of Stephanie and Abraham.
I had so much fun working with this young, fresh, smart and God loving couple.
