Karen + David :: Wedding

{Shot for Cohn-Frankel Photography}

Karen & David were a very special couple to me personally, because their e-shoot was the first one I had assisted Lauren with and their wedding ended up to be the second last wedding of the season! The sad part/irony is that, during their e-shoot I was lost in the city and almost arrived the correct time, the same thing happened at their reception as well, the directions weren’t clear enough even with the GPS, but somehow ended up on time this time too, thank god. This couple was fun to work with and they were really meant for each other and their love was pretty obvious!

And last but not the least this is my last wedding/post for the 2008 season, looking for a challenging 2009 ahead still working with Lauren and other photographers I am yet to meet in the days to come.

Thanks to Stella my wife, family, friends and frequent blog readers for the continuous support, without which I would not have come this far!

Joy’s Maternity Session – Treasure Island, SFO

{Shot for Yasuhara Photography}

I met Joy and her family through my good friends Barabara & Wayne. She’s 8month pregnant and she couldn’t wait for her maternity shoot to happen…finally, because this is her second kid and she couldn’t get a maternity shoot done for her first pregnancy owing to her medical conditions. My friend Barbara, Wayne and I met Joy, her husband Pete and their 10month old Jason at treasure Island at SFO, yes…that’s where they wanted this shoot to happen as they’ve had lived her before and are personally very attached to TL. This was my first time at TL and I was carried away by the scenic beauty of this awesome location. The sunset was amazing but the weather wasn’t at its best, it was windy and freezing cold though, but Joy and her family patiently dealt with the chill weather just to capture this wonderful event in her life, I loved that attitude and sacrifice of theirs!

I tried taking my flash off camera for the first time, which I had taken sturdy light stand with me though, so dumb of me and I had to end up bugging folks to help holding the flash. End of the day it was a happy shoot and I really had a fun time shooting n chit chatting!

P.S. Did I also mention that this is my first maternity shoot? LOL… yes it is!

Kelly + Justin :: Wedding

{Shot for Cohn-Frankel Photography}

Kelly & Justin were such a humble and cute couple who were married on the October’08 in Palo Alto, CA. And for me it was the first wedding that I assisted and shot for Lauren that was close to where I live (San Jose) and I didn’t have to drive much! I’ve got to mention something about this special wedding cake, this was personally made by the bride’s aunt who is very special to the bride. Also the lil bikes on the cake is a representation of their very own bikes which means a lot to them, how sweet is that of her aunt?

And as we all know, at the end of the day its all about the love and family when it comes to a Happy Wedding!
