Baby Ben and Lilian

May 21, 2010

One early morning, Horace and I packed up the lights, backdrops and did a photoshoot with Wendy & Jeff’s 10 month old twins – Ben and Lilian.


They had just finished breakfast and were in a good mood. Ben was crawling everywhere and refusing to sit.

Lilian was her usual self, totally focused on the toys around her.

Wendy and Jeff reading to them.

Ben had to excuse himself for some urgent business.



“I am a rockstar!”

Getting them to sit still was no easy task!

Candids Shots with Pentax 645

May 4, 2010

Rather than going out to search for material, I wanted to document the simple and routine acts in life. Often these are the moments we miss and come to treasure in the future.
Film used: Fujifilm Pro 400H.

My favorite photo is my dad showing off his super scissors.


Hemming a new pair of pants in the living room.

Taking a stroll near Mt.Pleasant Cemetery.


40 minute long exposure to capture the meteor shower.

Playing with Ben and Lilian at church.


Uncle Eric lifting her high in the air!


Double Happiness!

John & Joanne’s Wedding

August 27, 2009


Early morning, the wedding party getting ready.


Practicing their song to the bride.

Heading out, slowly making our way toward the church.

Having breakfast at MacDonald’s. We really wanted to wear those plastic bibs!

The Bride walking down the aisle!

The newly wed re-entering the church.


The celebration banquet, here John is thanking his grandma in Cantonese.

Watching a slideshow with many childhood photos.

The entire wedding party. The groomsmen and bridesmaid really did a great job in making sure the day go smoothly.


Steve got everybody on the dance floor and taught us a few Indian dance moves.

Shirley trying to imitate Nelson.

This shot turned out pretty well with some off-camera flash.


Congrats again to the new couple!
