Patricia + Martin - Aug 23, 2008

A wedding of Beautiful Bride and Mr. Nice-Guy! We were lucky to work under a nice sky. Vancouver's weather is very unstable in this August (heavy rain next day). The creative photo session was one of the shortest ones in this season. We were only allowed to finish all shots in 1 hour at Deer Lake, Burnaby.

Our 420EX speedlite dropped on the floor and it is still alive (and working). Amazing...

A Special Day For RJP: We're WPJA members now!


August 18th, 2008 (81808 - lucky day?) is a special day for Jessie and I. In these years, we have been working very very hard in wedding photography. Finally, our effort is recognized by top professionals. We are accepted by Wedding Photojournalist Association (WPJA) which is the top association of wedding photographers in the world (http://www.wpja.com/). We can't just pay membership fee to be members. Only a few wedding photographers who are qualified for specific high standards in professional level are accepted by the association.

Jessie phoned me about the news when I was rushing deadline in office. Her tone was happy... I thought she might get a baby or something. After she told me that we were accepted by WPJA, I put down my phone and said, "Yes! Yes! Yes!". (Erin might think I was going crazy in office)

I'm not only happy for myself as a photographer but also happy for Jessie as her partner. She is such a talented artist.

Thanks to all friends and clients who have been supporting us!

Couple Portraits

Do you believe Jessie and I have 5 computers at home? Because of the increasing work load, we purchased a new one today. It's mainly for replacing the 7 years old file server. Finally, I can run dual-monitor setting later.

I looked inside my file server and I found some photos of Agnes and Hannes. Those are never being posted.

Commercial Photo For Advertisement

Busy Busy August... Jessie and I shot 2 sets of commercial photos for Christine Jewellers Ltd. last month. I should design a series of advertisement for it. Because of our wedding shootings and multi-computer problems, all works are delayed. Sorry, Alex :-(

Note: My file server is back on and my work laptop's Wi-Fi is back too.







Jessie and I may take a short break from work in the coming Feb. Where? It's Las Vegas again (We visited LV this year). We may attend WPPI 2009 Convention and Trade Show. I really like the trip (work + vacation). I miss LV a lot...

*Even we do professional photo business everyday, our passion of photography is still strong. Photos below are our travel photos. If it wasn't LV, I would only bring my little DC. Some photos were taken by my old old 19-35mm. Quite amazing.

Ok... I can go to bed now (@1:45 am)

Cynthia + Tommy

Weather was very weird yesterday, cloudy + rainy + sunny. However, we were lucky to finish our work smoothly. Thanks to Cynthia and Tommy + their helpful friends. Because of Cynthia and Tommy's E-session experience with us, they got used to our work flow and style. Especially creative photo session, the shooting was smooth and fun. People in the banquet were crazy drinkers... they drank mixed wine like XO + red wine + white wine NON-STOP!

After we came back from work, I found out one of my desktop computers was dead :-(
Bad news... My laptop's wireless connection was down, too. After an hour, it was finally fixed.
