Felix and Susana's wedding

It seems a long time ago since my friends, Felix and Susana, are married. But in reality it was only a month ago. Once again, congratulations and may God bless this new family under His grace. =)



I have great honour to be invited as being part of the photo shoot of the lovely couple. The location is chosen by the couple, which is inside a farm in the suburban area.



We had a few concerns about whether the weather will cooperate on the day of shooting, as there were thunder storm warning around the wedding day. And it was raining cats and dogs the day before the wedding.





On the actual wedding day, however, the rain had stopped and it had been cloudy throughout the day. That actually created a perfect filter for the session and we didn't have to care about harsh shadow or anything.



The moisture from the storm previously also added a superb misty feeling some of the photos.



And best of all, the rain started again RIGHT after we finished our photo session. So, how can anyone doubt the grace of God? =)

Color of Autumn

I'm always amazed with color of Autumn. And I'm thankful to live in a country where there's a dramatic differences of season. But this is actually the first year where I capture the beautiful color of Autumn.



This year's autumn is one of the most color autumn in years because of the extra precipitation we have during the summer.



The perfect thing in autumn is that the sunset time is right around the time when I get off work. So for a couple of weeks I had a chance to rush to near by park and capture the awesome colors during this 'golden' hour!



And if I hide inside the forest and shoot to the light, the result is even more dramatic and interesting. =)

Babies are blessings

Children are truly a blessing. And it's always fun to take pictures of them because of their innocence and cute expressions. While I'm waiting for mine to come, I'm surrounded by other babies of my friends'.



Last Friday I was in the 1-year old birthday party of little Brian in my church's nursery room. And viola, that room had instantly become my studio. =)



Looking at all these cute babies crawling or walking around me, I can't stop myself from taking picture of all these cuties.


All these excitements and overwhelming desire of capturing these cute pictures caused me being excluded from the 'song singing ceremony' video. Hey, no regrets, because I got my reward of these pictures. =)

Did I say innocence? Perfect example is demonstrated when little Zach giving those 'I want my cake too' look when another baby get their first zip of the sweet.


And after he got his sweet, BAM, continue on his journey of exploration of his little world. =D

This is little Zach being curious on my flash light boucing off the wall. =P



And look at little Hazel. Mommy was asking her to be part of the 'studio' shot. And the snapshot of her turning back in response just take my breath away (the man in the picture is her Daddy).



With mommy's help, here we have a baby Jedi! =)



Of course, babies shouldn't be the sole subjects of the night. I have to include the happy father too. I really like the satisfaction of the father's expression when he has his precious in his arm. =)



The experience of helping my friends to capture the precious moments in their life is always rewarding. The happiness was everywhere in this 'baby safari'! =D

Nice coffee break yesterday

I had a very nice coffee break with my wife yesterday. She's pregnant and the baby will be coming in less than a month. We treasure every moment we have together, before this newest member trashing this romantic party. =P



One major advantage of carrying my photo gear around everyday is that I won't regret missing any valuable moments of taking pictures.



I just took this shot in Starbucks. This is something I really want to take for a while, but missing the occasion. =)
