Happy Monday. I wanted to start this week off with the Photo of the Week post in order to get back on track with it. I had a great weekend spending time with family and trying new things…ie. making apple crumble!

Those of you who know me, know that there is no way I could pull something like this off without some help. Right you are!! My apple crumble experiment was one of those box mixes where I had to mix it in a bowl and put it in the oven, “set it and forget it” style! Yeah! For the real chefs and people who know their way around a kitchen I attached a recipe for apple crumble I found online.

Hmm…my plating skills need some work…In any case, wedding posts will follow as I had some time this weekend to get through some editing. Enjoy!

Photo of the Week (Week#7)

My apologies, I have not been a good blogger lately. I have been on the road a lot and have not had the time to do any editing or posts.  I had the chance to travel via train and I found it quite relaxing and refreshing. I did not need to take my belt and shoes off for security, I did not have to wait in line for luggage, not to mention tons of leg room! It was a little reminiscent of my trip to Japan which I will post later on. Have a great weekend everyone.PAW_3111

Christine and Jean Paul are Married!!!

Christine and Jean Paul's Wedding

I mentioned this before, shooting with other photographers offer challenges and different working experiences. Expectations are different and I generally take less photos when tagging along a new photographer simply because I want to observe their unique shooting style and they interact with the couple to accomplish their shots. Tagging along with Claudia Hung was no different as I got to experience a new shooting style and gained a little bit of insight.

Christine and Jean Paul got married on August 15, 2009, they are one of the nicest and easiest couples to work with, it was not hard to see that they were really in love and were not afraid of showing it on camera.

Christine and Jean Paul's WeddingMoments, I try to capture moments like these because I feel that there is a level of intimacy that translates in the image, Jean Paul is posing with his mum for a photo and Jean Paul’s dad is looking with this smile of happiness. I am thinking, he looking at how far his son has come and how proud he is of the man he has become, or he could be just looking at him…fine…I think too much.

The wedding party was rather large but awesome to work with simply because they had chemistry.

The guests were then ordered to the dance floor to dance with the couple. The everyone’s energy was amazing, the dance floor pretty much exploded with people having an awesome time.

On a side note, August 15, 2009 was not only Christine and Jean Paul’s special day, but they took the time to celebrate Chrisine’s grand father’s birthday. I am inclined to say he as 90 years old…but I am not sure. All I remember was that he was so happy and surprised that they took the time and effort to recognize his birthday. He was just soo happy, I swear he wanted to cry. It was really quite touching.
