  • i have clients that often wonder how i was able to feed the 430+ guests at my own wedding. yup, that’s right… 43 tables!  here’s an old picture of the wedding cake i found from my own wedding:

    to this day, i haven’t seen anyone’s as big as this setup.  big ups to mr. hong and his “see fuu” from 65restaurant.com for setting this up.

  • it’s been a while since i’ve posted.  things have been super busy and i’ve learned so much about the business.   I might have some time coming up to catch up on some posting so stay tuned.  besides, everyone’s on facebook these days… i doubt anyone is actually checking xanga anymore.

    to sum up august thru october…  weddings weddings weddings.  if i continue at this pace, i might have to quit my day job and do this full time even tho i think i suck at this.  what keeps me going is the encouragement i get from friends and family.  and a big thanks to my wife who gives me ankle massages when i get home from a long day of standing/running around taking pictures.  at some point i think i’m going to have to go back to school and take some more classes on composition and all the technical aspects of photography.  perhaps maybe getting a masters in photography?  what started out as a hobby might be turning into a career.   a blessing in disguise.

    everyone goes to the bean in chicago….

    here’s one from San La and Huang’s Wedding.   They were an awesome couple! some weddings are fun to be at.  some are a drag.   but theirs was insane!   super elaborate with every part of their wedding.  the wedding party’s cars were: audi s8, porshe 911gt, acura nsx, two bmw m3′s, and a 40foot stretch 300c limo.  and at the end of the night, he paid in cash. 

    bling. 

    there was something really sci-fi about this picture.
