Vivian + Chris’ Engagement Session – It was SO GOOD to finally meet Vivian and Chris yesterday afternoon (it was just e-mails up to this point). He’s from Southern California but traveled abroad to China for his teaching job a few years ago. While there, Chris met the love of his life in Vivian. Both of them are in the states (first time for Vivian while Chris is returning home) these past few weeks. Amidst their busy schedule, Vivian and Chris found a few hours to do an engagement session with me yesterday.

The two will be tying the knot later this September in Beijing, and I couldn’t be more excited, honored, and simply THRILLED to be traveling to China and documenting their wedding! Also, I just want to give a shout out and thank you to Tami, whose a friend of Chris and dancer/cheerleader for the Clippers. I met her a few years ago while photographing the games at Staples Center. If it weren’t for Tami, I would’ve never met Vivian and Chris, so thank you so much!

For the e-session, we went to Union Station followed by LACMA, where all those pretty bright lamps are at :). Special thanks to Ms. Nancy Pantsy for helping me out yesterday. I’m so glad to have her come to China with me for Vivian and Chris’ wedding. Here’s a few of my favorites from the shoot…
