Taking care of my little one and still working full time has been a challenge. I finally got an hour of free time to walk through the park after the first snow fall in October. It’s so refreshing to walk alone with my camera, taking in what could be the early end of autumn, witnessing [...]

6 months ago, I became a father for the first time. The feeling wasn’t what I expected, it was surreal, and I wasn’t sure if I was really a Dad yet. The experience was so overwhelming that I needed time to relish what had just became the center of my life, my darling daughter. This [...]

What are some ways to Go Green on the day of the wedding? • Hold your ceremony and reception at the same location • Ask your guests to carpool • Find a caterer who uses organic, locally grown food • Use flowers that are in season, wildflowers or locally grown flowers • Chose a gown [...]

Yesterday was one of those days where everything falls into place effortlessly. We picked up Yim’s Dad’s ashes and laid him to rest under the shade of a tree, in a heart shaped cremation garden in a Queens cemetery. He was 62. We will miss him greatly, especially his cooking and his loud talking. He was [...]

Recently, a bride who loves my work decided to go with another photographer after reading my blog post on, “The Best locations for engagement photos in New York City”.  Her wedding will be at the Palm House in New York City’s renowned Brooklyn Botanical Garden. I thought my readers will realize that the post was a [...]

While going through our pile of magazines once more before they are recycled; I found this very interesting article from Fast Company magazine.  We may be in wedding industry and photography is our speciality, but we do not know all the facts and figures on weddings except for fact that June is the most popular month [...]

Tofurkey? No, not this year, this Thanksgiving it’ll be curry fish head for us. Have many of you wonder how Willi capture his images?  He  [...]

It’s going to be a while before I blog a another wedding, because I’m going  to switch my focus to getting all my weddings processed before the end of the year or some of my  brides may be very unhappy. I used carry my professional camera with me whenever I walk out the door. It [...]

  A few of weekends ago; we met a little girl while shooting a Modern Lifestyle Family Portrait session.  By the end of the session Willi and the preschooler became buddies.  Children are very observant and it’s amazing to see a child’s reaction to the new things and new events happening around them.  We told her to [...]

A private eye in stilettos? No, it’s  makeup artist extraordinaire Laura Nadeau. It should be common sense for people in wedding industry to be dedicated to the well being and happiness of their clients. If one cannot provide this most basic service, one should consider a profession in another industry. After all it’s a service [...]

Can’t believe that it’s been almost 2 months since my last blog post! I have good reasons for this long absence. I have been busy shooting weddings! To relax after a long day of shooting and relieve my eye strain from sitting in front of the computer working on images; I have taking up guitar [...]

As humans we tend to gravitate towards a preference because we are creatures of habit; so when someone asks us about our favorites we are excited to tell all. What’s my favorite piece of equipment? Well, if you know me or have plenty of free time on your hand to read through my blog posts, then [...]

I do not blog every wedding I photographed and do not intent to do so in the future. As I have mentioned before my reason is….. it stops my mind from thinking creatively. Blogging every wedding does have it’s advantages, but it may eventually become a repetitive, dull and mechanical chore that will thwart my [...]

Light is the source of life and essence of photography. The emotional quality of light is what I strive to capture; which also motivates my continuing passion for photography. Light penetrates, permeates, envelopes and impregnates life.  When the right light is combined with the subject at the right moment, one can experience life emotionally and spiritually on a photographic [...]

Living in the city our eyes and ears are constantly bombarded by visual and auditory information which lead us to a necessary auto tune out just to keep our sanity. Walking with a camera in my hands, I’m forced to open my eyes and learn to see things afresh. I’m always fascinated by the changing [...]

I have complained about the postcards of NYC for quite a while, but have not done anything about it. It’s time to stop complaining and start shooting! Postcards have their place in the world and in our hearts. Most are beautiful to look at, but very little do they leave us with more than a [...]

Yes, I have joined the Lensbaby club and became a “sissy photographer.” Before you stone me, let me elaborate. I am not making fun of anyone’s sexual orientation or manliness. When Lensbaby came out from the closet of its creator, Craig Strong, I really thought this cheap plastic toy lens is for the babes and [...]

Greg Fine’s second song, “How Does It Feel?”, was recorded in our studio after his Modern Lifestyle Family Portrait session in the Lower East Side. “How Does It Feel?” was inspired by the reconnection with his foster mother. His foster mother, Pat, gave Greg unconditional love and affection when he needed most. For most of [...]

Please pick up a copy of The Knot Best of Weddings 2009 magazine and check out our listing.” The best [...]

I have always been a private person and believed that my work will speak for itself. That has worked quite well for me until the advent of reality shows. First I had a website, then I need a blog to keep my website going and now I need to be in Facebook and learn how [...]

A while back we ran a photo contest and the winner is… We have only one entry; however, instead of canceling the contest; we’re going to reward Greg for his time and effort. Sadly, this will also conclude the end of contests for us.   Well, at least for now.

We took advantage of one rare and warm winter weekend and went out on an outing.  We decided to have brunch at Ikea in Redhook, Brooklyn.  It is the ride to get to Redhook we are excited about. Though a still a little cold, but the wind was very refreshing and welcomed.  The excursion recharged [...]

We are still currently testing our new design and layout of theBlog. We welcome you to take a peek and browse around, but please have patience; because we will take it down from time to time until all the bugs are fixed.  Lily, it was a pleasure meeting you.  I’m also glad that I’ve found another Bollywood [...]
