It’s great to be back blogging again.  The new addition to our family has taken up most of our time.  Maya and Tony had a beautiful New York wedding.  The morning started off with getting ready at the bustling & busy Best Western in Chinatown.  Enjoy the photos of Maya and Tony, along with their wedding party, as they toured downtown Manhattan, the Brooklyn Promenade and the new extension of Brooklyn Bridge Park.

Eleni and Sandro had their spectacular Italian Greek wedding at the Grand Summit Hotel in New Jersey. I had the wonderful pleasure of second shooting for Val Vechnyak. This was definitely a wedding with so many dance. Love their cat MoMo. Congratulations to Eleni and Sandro.

Susan and David first met while attending NJIT.edu in New Jersey. They are both getting their PhDs. David in Biomedical Engineering and Susan in Computer Science. I can’t imagine myself going back to school but big ups to my couple. Susan and David traveled all the way from New Jersey to Flushing, New York for their hair and makeup trial with Jina Pak at JAC Beauty . David scheduled the engagement photo session once his paper was done with school. We first met up at the entrance on 72nd Street and Central Park East then. Then hit the famous Bethesda Terrace and Bow Bridge. We had an amazing time shooting inside the park and had a wardrobe change at Columbus Circle. We finished our session with New York’s landmark buildings in the background Flatiron building and the Empire State Building. Below is a fusion slideshow from Susan and David’s wedding engagement in Central Park and the Flatiron District.



P.S. Jina, you did a fabulous job!

This is my first time shooting at Sands Point Preserve in Long Island, New York. Jue had her makeup trial done with Rieko Shiba and scheduled her engagement photo session as well. First they decided on Old Westbury Gardens then changed their minds to Sands Point Preserve . Luckily the weather held and the rain stayed away. We had such a great time starting at the Hempstead House, Castle Gould the hitting the beach. Jue and Kiet, you guys are such an amazing couple. Congratulations on your engagement! We look forward to your wedding this summer at the Swan Club .

Can I say I love love love Google. Lu and Wan Sing found me on Google and booked a brunch wedding session. They had a massive 500+ guests wedding in Malaysia on May 16th and flew back to New York for their intimate brunch celebration with close friends and family here in the state. Lu and Wan Sing both attended Stern at NYU and wanted to shoot around the area. Please take a look at the gallery below.

It was a normal morning for us going to the bride’s house. Tomtom (Karina’s doggie) made our day very interesting and unforgettable from the start. When we first arrived at the bride’s house, normal dogs would bark, guard the house and protect it’s turf. Nope!!! Tomtom bolted passed the front door, through the driveway gate, then down the block and made a turn on the corner. Once we lost sight of him and my heart started racing. I was like OMG, what a way to start a wedding. I already have bad images in my head. I ran down the block and luckily there was a lady on the corner with another dog and Tomtom was humping her leg =). I was so relieved, grabbed Tomtom and gave it back to Karina’s brother. The rest of the day was smooth sailing. Please enjoy some of the teasers from Saturday’s wedding.
