Evelyn + Will came all the way from Singapore to have their engagement session! They’re so cute together! We walked around old town Claremont and the McKenna College to wait for the good light. The academic backdrop really suits them because they’re both assistant professor of Psychology in Singapore.

Krystle + Ben: Newport Coast, CA 07/15/2010 | In Weddings, by Apertura

Nothing makes us happier than a beaming bride and groom. We feed off our clients’ energy and Krystle + Ben fueled us all day with their happy glow. Krystle looked amazing in her Vera Wang and the family bond is very palpable. We cried (ehm, a little) during the emotional father/daughter dance and danced along with the amazing band. As always, it was great working with Carolyn Chen again and it was truly an all-star team of vendors. Congrats again Krys + Ben!

Lisa + Arvin: Bali, Indonesia 07/05/2010 | In Weddings, by Ray

Arvin + Lisa rule! I had the honor of flying for 16 hours to shoot their wedding in paradise on earth, Bali. It was the first time I shot a wedding in wicking t-shirt because it was super hot and humid. Lisa looked stunning in her Carolina Herrera dress and Arvin cool in his Armani tux. They exchanged vows inside the beautiful Infinity Chapel at the Conrad. The reception happened under a grand white tent on the Ocean Garden and they used the Fuji Instax mini instant photos for wedding favors. It’s lovely to witness Lisa + Arvin’s celebration in one of the most beautiful places on earth, surrounded by their family including Lisa’s 5 handful, adorable nephews. :-)


Ceremony: Infinity Chapel – Conrad Hotel, Bali
Reception: Ocean Garden – Conrad Hotel, Bali
Coordinator: Devi Tamren
Cake: Ixora Cake
Special thanks to my buddy Ed Atrero for coming along and second shot for me.
