M & W | Las Vegas Wedding | Destination Wedding Photographer

Mengqi & Wencong got married at Las Vegas. This is one of my favorite weddings this year, because the location is Las Vegas! They first got ready at Hilton Las Vegas. Then we took the limo to the famous Las Vegas sign for the classic photo. After that, we headed to Venetian in Las Vegas for more romantic photos. We took the Gondola ride at Venetian. They say that “No trip would be complete without a graceful and romantic glide down the Grand Canal in an authentic Venetian gondola.” Well, we did it and it was well worth the effort. Thanks a lot to the help of the groomsmen and bridesmaids, we were able to take as more photos as possible during the process. The wedding ceremony site is at the wedding chapel inside Hilton Las Vegas. The reception is also inside Hilton, which is very convenient. It was my great pleasure working with them.

Here are some of my favorite photos of the wedding. Congratulations to you, Mengqi & Wencong!

A & Y| San Francisco Japanese Tea Garden Wedding Portraits

I had pleasure working with Anting & Yujing for their wedding portraits session at San Francisco Japanese Tea Garden inside Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, CA. It is an Asian tradition to take wedding portraits (wedding dress photos) before or after the wedding ceremony. The Japanese Tea Garden is very beautiful and there is a very special bridge inside the garden. It is small but the scene is different for every few steps. After taking photos inside the garden, we went to Palace of Fine Arts, another popular site for more wedding photos.

Here are some of my favorite photos of the wedding portrait session. Some of the photos used some new technique that make them look like canvas painting.

C & R | San Francisco Wedding Bridal Portraits

Cindy & Robert got married at east coast and flyed to San Francisco for their honeymoon. The loved the beach scene very much so that we decided to take photos at Baker beach in the end. We started from Palace of Fine Arts and the lighting was beautiful in the winter afternoon. It wasy still a little bit windy. Once we got started, then we did not feel that cold. Cindy & Robert even climbed the rocks at Baker Beach, which was quite some adventure.

The following are some of my favorite photos during the bridal portrait session.

E & B | Cinnabar Hills Golf Club Wedding in San Jose

Emmy & Brendan got married at the beautiful Cinnabar Hills Golf Club in San Jose. Located in the heart of Silicon Valley, Cinnabar Hills Golf Club is an ideal Wedding Venue in bay area with a majestic mountain location. I worked with Emmy & Brendan at ATT park in San Francisco for their engagement photos a few months ago. They used some large prints from the engagement session for the guest book, which turned out great.

I worked with my second photographer Ben for this beautiful wedding. Since Emmy got ready in Saratoga and Brendan got ready at Fairmont hotel in San Jose, Ben and I took the photos separately at the beginning. Ben did a great job by capturing the preparation moment for Brendan. I was happy working with Emmy when she got ready.

Congratulations to you, Emmy & Brendan!
