We love to do creative projects such as this!  This is a shoot with friends from the industry.  When makeup artist, Chiali of Chiali Meng Artistry approached us about doing a photo shoot, we immediately said yes because we adore her work.  Chiali brought in Yingka from Master Plans Events and Designs to create a fresh spring backdrop.  We are also admirers of Yingka’s floral creations.  Our photo studio was bursting with fresh cut flowers, props, not to mention the huge collection of wedding gowns from Jennifer Wu of Royal Accessories.   Yingka Chou and Theresa Toledo created colorful pinwheel paper crafts for our backdrop. So sit back and take in all the creative juices that flowed among artists and collaborators to see what may inspire you to do for your own wedding and events.

When it’s this good, let him wait while you indulge in moments of delight.

Theresa Huang, whom I’ve worked with in so many weddings, asked me if I can photograph her girls of TH Makeup and Hair Design. So we set up a studio at our office and voilà, instant fashion photo shoot. Had a tremendous fun doing this and gorgeous images to boot! We love working with her and her girls because they make their brides look sooooo good.
