A YEAR IN REVIEW 2009

Stephen — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 11:53:19 +0000

2009 was an amazing year with extraordinary adventure and I know 2010 will be awesome as it already on its way to a great start. Considering how fast 2009 went and how busy I am setting my eyes and focus on 2010 it is easy to forget what 2009 looked like. So here is a small year in review of some of the weddings and engagement session for some of my clients. You guys are the best and it’s always a priviledge to be a part of your love story. So thank you all for a brilliant year and lets bring on the awesomeness of 2010.

I admit I enjoy making dinners over skype with Sou-Wah. That’s right part of how her and I stay so connected 24/7 and I do mean close to 24/7 maybe 23/7 is through skype video. Such an amazing tool for anyone who wants to keep in contact with their loved ones. Anyways, when I say I spend 24/7 with Sou-Wah I literally mean that. I am always connected to her world even when she is not there at the very moment. I share my dinners, conversation, ideas, things were doing at the very moment together even making tea. With my handy dandy laptop Sou-Wah can always feel connected to my world here in the USA in all aspects of my life. Of course it’s not better than being with one another in person but while we are apart skype is our closest friend. So to skype, thank you for being the amazing medium of communication to our relationship. Sou-Wah and I send you our love and thankfulness.

Your truly,

Stephen

I am thrilled to preview Amy + Chris’ wedding from this month. I absolutely love October Weddings because the weather here in California feels perfect. It’s not too cold and never too hot during this time of the month and you get a taste of crispy leaves and beautiful array of colors. Amy + Chris’ wedding had to be one of my favorites of the year and they are such a beautiful and fantastic couple. Don’t they look gorgeous together? Amy was particularly beautiful on her big day but Chris’ didn’t fall too behind on the looking GQ category with his lavished gray suit. I had so many images from their wedding I had a difficult time choosing what photos to preview on my blog. So beware, this is a massive photo post. A possible 2nd post for this wedding might come around =) Thank you Amy + Chris’ for sharing your beautiful day with me. May you relive your love for each other through these images. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Thank You,

Stephen

The light was stunning here.

Chris looked so GQ on his wedding day it made me want to wear a gray suit when I get married haha.

The finer details of life. If my memory serves me right this is a custom made Armani Suit or maybe Hugo Boss

Beautiful Beautiful wedding dress

Reception Shoes =)

I love brides when they have colored shoes to contrast their white dress. Its the best.

Having a little fun with some shoe shots =)

I loved this shot and so I had to post it before her getting ready shots =)

This is just ring shot #1 I’ll post some more later.

Lemon’s anyone?

Ring shot #2, wait for ring shot #3 later =)

My dear friend Nancy aka E.C. =) Good times =)

Strike a pose ladies =)

Don’t these suits look PIMP? Man I love it!

I’m starting to do this a lot for grooms men at weddings recently. It’s always the most awkward thing in the world for them but I love the way it always come out. =)

Amy makes my job so much easier when I pose her.

And for the lift dress to show shoe shot =)

Mirrors are some of my favorite things to play with =)

I love the feel of this room, very romantic.

Amy’s father giving away his daughter to Chris. Look like we have a deal =)

You may now kiss the bride =)

Married!!!!!!!!

How about another kiss? =D
