Yesterday I attended Jun and Miriam’s wedding as a guest. I decided to bring along my camera anyways to get a few images. Miriam looked gorgeous, Jun wasn’t bad looking either, and were both having a great time throughout the night. Hyon Smith was there with his crew doing what they do best and it was nice to be on the other side. Here are a few images that I got to capture out of my usual ninja suit.
I revisited Jordan a few days ago. He had already changed so much from day 5 to day 10. He was in better spirits in this session and even flashed a little smile. I think he’s going to be a heartbreaker in a few years.
A couple of weeks ago, I helped out Jennifer Kim with her engagement session of Jack and Hollie. We met up with them at the Jefferson Memorial in Washington D.C and had a fairly easy session because it wasn’t crowded. Now for some pictures from the session. The first picture was a test shot by Jennifer and I love it. Since I’m always behind the camera, I have no pictures of myself so I thought this was a fun one of me. Thanks Jennifer!
A few days ago, I tried something new….photographing newborns. Boy was that a challenge. I must have caught baby Jordan at the wrong time because he was not liking me taking his pictures. He just looked at me like, “what are you doing?” and then started crying… hahaha…I guess I will try to catch him on a better day but for now here is Jordan Joshua at 5 days old.
Photography has been a great to me so far. I’ve met some fabulous people and have enjoyed myself immensely. On Tuesday, I found out I would be able to attend the AT&T National Golf Tournament’s Celebrity Pro Am. I joined Hyon Smith for some behind the ropes action, which got me to about a foot from all the golfers, at the event. I was like a little kid at a candy store, star struck beyond belief. It was unreal to see these golfers live and in person after seeing them week in and week out on the golf channel. I was also super excited to see Tony Romo, which by the way is one wicked golfer. He played off he same tees as Tiger Woods throughout the round. Following him, were Jason Campbell and Antwaan Randle El, who were not as good as Romo on the course. Sterling Sharpe was also there and his game wasn’t too bad either. Here is some footage I captured that day which had most golfers and celebrities in smiles and good spirits. The #1 golfer in the world was as intense as ever.

A couple of weeks ago, I photographed Brooks’ 1st birthday party. He had the traditional Korean 1st birthday, a dohl. The poor guy wasn’t feeling good and even had a runny nose so he wasn’t too happy to see me at first but as the day went on, he really opened up to me and started smiling for the pictures. His guests enjoyed the great Korean cuisine provided my Woo Lae Oak restaurant as well as the amazing balloon artist and talented caricature artist.
At his party, I got to experience my first Georgetown cupcake. I never really understood what all the hype was about but after I ate the cupcake, I finally understood…it was pretty darn tasty especially the cream cheese icing. Brooks also enjoyed his smash cake. At first, he was hesitant about eating the cake and was only using 1 hand to dig in but as soon as he realized what the cake tasted like, he dug right in with 2 hands and was dancing in his chair.
It was a pleasure meeting this little guy and being part of his special day.
My brother’s flag football team won 2 hard fought games to win the championship on Sunday night. All the guys are really competitive and never gave up til the final whistle was blown at the end of the game. There was some great action that night and sadly I missed some of it because I became so wrapped up in watching the close games. Nevertheless, I still got some great shots. With 38 seconds left in the championship game, the lights at the fields went out again. Both teams elected to finish up rather than come back another day. I was just relieved that I was smart enough to pack my flash or else I wouldn’t have been able to take the victory pictures after the game. Congrats to Buckle Up to an undefeated season, 10-0!!
This past weekend I got to photograph some engagement pictures for some friends. Meet Jee and Hoy. I first met Jee back in 2004 for some Turkey Bowl football and have been playing football together ever since. Oddly enough, we also share the same birthday as well as enjoy photography with canon lenses. Their wedding is coming up in 2.5 months and they needed some vibrant engagement pictures. I offered my services and the weather also cooperated by giving us sun and pretty blue skies, which has been quite rare these days. So here are some pictures from the session. Congrats to Jee and Hoy…. we’ll be seeing you two standing at the altar in a couple of months.
This past weekend was Annie’s bridal shower. We had their engagement session back in October and the wedding date is finally almost here. Her bridesmaids went all out for her and made this shower a Breakfast at Tiffany’s theme since Annie’s middle name is Tiffany. Also, they brought in the Tiffany’s and Co. theme into the mix as well since teal is one of Annie’s wedding colors. I was able to snap a few decorations before I had to leave for a wedding. This was probably one of the best bridal showers that I have seen to date. Great job ladies!
A couple weeks ago, I assisted Pat Stewart at Clare and Jaime’s wedding. Their ceremony was held at St. Aloysius Catholic Church and the reception was at Congressional Country Club. It was a great day of celebration surrounded by their families and friends. Jaime and Clare were very friendly and fun which can be seen by their bridal party. I had never seen a bridal party as big as theirs before but just shows you what kind of people they are… people lovers. After the ceremony, they headed back to the reception site in a red vintage Mercedes Benz convertible. I had a great time hanging out with them and their friends on this special day. Congrats to Jaime and Clare!
