merry Christmas and happy new year.

Just a few days left for 2009 and I have 3 more weddings to go before finishing the awesome and wonderful 2009.

The happy thing is –  I don’t have wedding on the new year eve and Christmas eve this year, so finally I can have “count down” with my love ones – Xandra and Shulin. What am I going to do tonight? Honestly, Xandra and I don’t like crowded places at all (Is it a joke for a wedding photographer??), so a quiet night (no work, no email) with my family is the best for me.

Another beautiful wedding to share before the Christmas – Yuki and Roni.

First time to have wedding at the American Club – beautiful location and so happy to work with my friend Evelyn from Marriage Maestros. She is fabulous, with her help, you don’t’ need to worry any details and surly can enjoy your wedding.

my fav of the day !!!!
When I was taking pic of the montage and the head table before the start of the reception, I found roni walking around to practice his speech. Love this moment so much.

always love taking dance shots – it is always a challenge for wedding photographer. Light is always dim, motion is fast, and no rehearsal.
Here are a few of my fav dance shots of the night.

dancing with father

the first dance.

this one is really a challenge. They kept turning and moving in and out. So happy to get this shot with wonderful  color, great emotion, and framing

1300h the groomsmen

the yuki family

1400h Game about to start. Instead of shooting at the very “front line”, sometimes, when we stepped back, we could find something very interesting. Love this photo of Yuki ‘s parents.

funny daddy !!!

1430h tea ceremony

1600h changed into wedding gown and arrived at the American club

1700 h – ceremony at the American club

a “bird eye” view of the venue – a very good location for wedding ceremony

yuki and roni don’t like portrait very much, so we only took around 15 min of portrait for the whole day.

a scene setting shot – love the lighting setup, so colorful !! Great job Evelyn !!!!

2000h – the dinner started

nice moment

maid of honor speech

we had a very nice band and enjoyed the music very much
