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.

This summer, I had the opportunity to shoot a commercial for a Korean distributor of a nationwide wireless company. They hired Crown J, who is a pretty popular rap/hip hop artist in Korea. He is actually a pretty decent guy and is apparently trying to release an album here in the States.

I actually like his music and was a fan of his before he became really popular through a Korean reality TV show. So I was thrilled to be asked to be a part of the shoot. I did all of the camera work and some of the composition. It was my first real commercial shoot so I got to see how it all came together and all in all it was a great learning experience. I thought it would be cool to catch some behind-the-scenes footage so I handed my Lumix GH1 to a member of the crew. This is the first time I'm making an appearance in one of my own videos...but will it be the last??? Stay tuned..........

I shot with the Panasonic HMC150. I used the glidecam for all of the movement and low angle shots. Enjoy!
