Serena & Parker Engagement: Pier 7, Embarcadero

It was a busy and fun-filled Easter weekend for the Chan-Clan. We drove up to Northern California Thursday night and returned back home late Monday evening. We didn’t want to fly with Sophia still very young. The drive wasn’t bad at all and we made record time with about a 6 hr trip each way. We periodically stopped to stretch Sophia’s foot long legs.

Serena and Parker’s engagement session was one of the highlights over the weekend. Serena and I go way back to our college days at UCLA. I remember regularly watching the X-Files together with Serena and some other friends. I was very honored when asked to photograph my dear friend’s wedding in Nov.

Serena and Parker are real troopers for posing in the cold weather.  I had three layers on and was still cold at times.

I’ll blog about the other two events over the weekend on subsequent posts.  Stay tuned!.

Michelle & Phong : Laguna Beach Engagement

Well, I got my camera bag and butt wet again this past Sunday shooting Michelle and Phong’s engagement session at Laguna Beach.  I’m an active shooter and often find myself knee deep in water.  I was shooting into the shore and Michelle was suppose to watch my back for incoming waves.  Thanks a lot, Michelle ! :) Well, we all got caught up in the moment and before I knew it a rush of water came and I literally wet my pants.  Thank goodness, my camera bag is somewhat water resistant.

It was a beautiful day at the Main Beach in Laguna Beach. The Sun was bright, but not glaring in the late afternoon. The weather was warm, but not hot. There was a nice constant cool breeze.

We moved inland as night approached to capture all the beautiful ambient light of the many shops nearby.

Michelle and Phong are getting married in late October at The Villa in Westminster.  This will be my first time covering an event at The Villa.  I can’t wait to see what I can do with all the lighting at the venue.

Can you  see the sailboat in the distant horizon?
