I had the absolute pleasure of traveling to Waikiki a few weeks ago to be a part of a joyous celebration of Jinny and Dan's union in marriage. And when I say joyous, I really mean it because everyone was so happy! It was an intimate and beautiful wedding held on the balcony of the Sheraton Waikiki overlooking the ocean with a gentle cool breeze beneath the warm sun and blue sky. What more can you ask for?

Working alongside the wedding photographers of L'amour Photography, I would have to say that the wedding was planned perfectly by Katy Castillo of Katy Castillo Weddings. Throughout the entire day, you just couldn't wipe the smile off the groom's face. From the first look moment when he yelled "Oh my God!" to the crazy dancing he performed into the night, he was simply a very happy man. Thank you for letting us be a part of your special moment.

Here is the wedding highlight of Jinny and Dan's wedding.

For those technical geeks, I used 2 Canon 7Ds, 1 slider, 1 Glidecam 4000pro, 1 Tokina 11-16mm f2.8, 1 Canon EF 50mm f1.4, 1 Canon EF 70-200 f2.8, a few sticks, and a lot of energy. Thanks to my 2nd shooter, George.

So yesterday morning I woke to find that I made an appearance in the Seattle Times..Look at the awesome pose!!

Ok, so the article was not a feature on me. It was actually a story on James Sun, now a local reality-TV legend. I was there that day to film James for "A Day in the Life" web feature and the Seattle Times reporter was also following James to do a story on him. Still, how many people can say that they got their picture taken while doing an awesome pose (notice the slight turn of the hips and the gentle bend in the knees) in the paper? I CAN!!!

You can also see yours truly at work in this short interview/behind-the-scenes video.

I finally got the 7D this week. I had been using the Panasonic GH1 for the past several months and loved the look and small form factor of shooting HD video with these small DSLRs. The GH1 was nice...but now the 7D.

I wanted to see how the glidecam would function with the 7D on it since it is much lighter than the HMC150 I had been using on the glidecam. With the Tokina 11-16mm lens, it wasn't too bad. I had to get used to the lighter weight but slowly I seemed to get the hang of it.

The UofW campus is a lovely place and it was a cold but lovely day. And I got to end it with a deliciously tasty treat from Lois @ Haagen Dazs. MMMMM.
