New York Engagement :: Judy + Ronald

July 13, 2011 | Engagements
 

Can I say this world is not that big after all? It turns out Ronald went to high school and college with my sister-in-law. On Judy’s side, her parents and grandparents both knew my dad back in the days when they were all in China. I have to thank the Internet again for landing this wonderful client and rekindling previous family friendships. We met Judy at her parent’s house in Sheepshead Bay, which was 5 minutes from where I lived (big bonus already). Judy was having her makeup and hair trail done and was not ready yet but sushi was already laid out on the table (another bonus..hahhahah). Then I started to chat with Judy’s mom in Taishanese (native southern Chinese dialect) and found out we are neighbors back home. They lived a town over from us. The rest of the conversation was history. I am so glad to have this opportunity to meet the friends my dad knew and be their wedding photographer for this special celebration. Please take enjoy these teasers from last week’s engagement shoot.

New York Engagement :: Karen + Robert

| Engagements
 

Karen and Robert met a handful of years ago through a mutual friend in NYC. Coming from different parts of the world, Karen from Hong Kong by way of sunny California and Robert from the Dominican Republic, they are a clear example of opposites attract. Most who know the pair see two unique personalities, but when they come together, it is apparent they share great interest in traveling the world, playing volleyball, having fun, exploring new foods (mainly the dessert family), and trying new things. They are excited and looking forward to share their special day with their closest family and friends in August.

English Lyrics Translation
(credit to antisocialnot)

I just love that one woman
I love her wholeheartedly
I follow her around like a shadow everyday
That woman is laughing & crying

Just how much more do I have to gaze at you alone
This love that came like the wind, this beggar like love
If I continue this way, will you love me?

Just come a little nearer
One step closer but flee with 2 legs
I who love you am next to you now
That woman who comes.

That woman is cautious
That’s why you have to learn to smile
What she can’t tell her best friend
Her heart’s full of tears.

That’s why, that woman
When she loved you the same way
Yet another fool, yet another fool
Can’t you hug me before you go?

I want to receive love
Everyday in my heart, just in my heart
I shout and
That woman’s next to me again.

That woman’s not me
Its not that she knows
She doesn’t know cause she’s a fool

Just how much more do I have to
Gaze at you alone
This love that came like the wind, this beggar like love
If I continue this way, will you love me?

Just come a little nearer
One step closer but flee with 2 legs
I who love you am next to you now
That woman who comes

New York Engagement :: Stephanie + Calvin

April 25, 2011 | Engagements
 

Stephanie, a East Coast gal, met Calvin, a West Coast dude, at the University of California at Riverside. This is truly a love story where East meets West– they met at one of their classes at UCR. After graduation, Calvin moved to the East Coast and lived here for a few years with his true love. It was one hot summer afternoon in 2008 where Calvin popped the question at the most romantic place in the world at the Bow Bridge in Central Park and asked Stephanie to marry him.

They currently live in Los Angeles, California and will be getting marry on May 21, 2011. Stephanie being from Little Falls, New Jersey wanted a New York engagement photo session. She found me on Yelp.com and booked right away. We’ve planned this photo session for almost a year now, creating a list with various locations in New York City. Stephanie and Calvin didn’t have a lot of vacation days to spare at work so, they took a red-eye on Thursday night, relaxed on Friday and set out for the photo session on Saturday. As it turns out you cannot control mother nature. The weather forecast was set to start raining at 1pm. Since Stephanie and Calvin are not local patrons of Chris Chen Studios, we couldn’t reschedule. We were just going to make the best of it. As it turned out, we had a blast, the the photos were so romantic in the rain….seeing them kiss under the umbrella gave me butterflies. Please enjoy the slides.
