Jacuzzi Family Vineyards Sonoma Wedding | Kitlyn and Danny

Our couple took creativity to a whole new level — the video segment of their wedding was transformed into a mesmerizing kaleidoscope dome, like an art installation straight out of a museum. Guests could lie back inside and watch a film about their love story unfold above them. I love when couples infuse their celebration with personal touches — whether it’s a custom installation, thoughtful gifts, or a surprise performance — it makes the day uniquely theirs, unforgettable in every detail.

我們的新人玩起創意真的是非常棒，婚禮環節裡播放視頻的部份被新人做成一個萬花筒形式的天幕裝置，堪比博物館的藝術裝置，賓客們進入裝置內部可以躺平欣賞關於他們故事的視頻，婚禮上能放入自己設計的一些小心思，無論是在小禮品上，還是一段小表演，都會是非常有意思和深刻記憶點的。

San Francisco Engagement | M & Q

They returned from Seattle to the San Francisco where they had spent so many years, just to trace the footsteps of their memories - strolling the same streets, wandering through familiar bookstores, savoring warm, flaky egg tarts.

The city may look different after the pandemic, but the people who lovingly guard their little shops keep those memories here as beautiful as ever.

他們從西雅圖回到那個曾經生活很多年的舊金山，為的就是找回那份當年的回憶；一起走過的路，逛過的書店，吃過的蛋撻；疫情後的舊金山可能已經另外一個樣子，但還是有很多可愛的人堅守著自己的店舖，讓在這裡的回憶依舊美好。

In the heart of North Beach, their story unfolds like a timeless fairytale. From quiet moments over coffee to the climb up Filbert Steps, like a prince visiting his princess in the tower, every corner holds a memory of love. These hills, these streets, this view—each frame a testament to devotion, laughter, and a love that always finds its way home.

每個城市都有很多人口流進流出，有人會堅守土生土長的地方，有人不斷探索直到找到那個適合自己定居的城市。

很多年前舊金山也是在適宜定居的城市中排名靠前的城市，直到很多政策上的轉變，舊金山漸漸在排名上消失。我和另一半跟很多找我拍攝的新人一樣，雖然不在這裡生活，但卻有著珍貴的回憶，所以每次拍攝，同樣我在思考和探索，是否有些地方適合定居，有些回憶只屬於某個城市。

Stanford Memorial Church Wedding | Meisong and Xuhui

What an honor capturing the wedding of these two Stanford alumni, right in the very study room where their story began.

As Professor S. said:
“I love you more than Statistics, more than truth, and more than anything.”

Not everything can be measured; not by data, formulas, or probabilities.Today, I witnessed a love that goes beyond numbers… and somehow, adds up perfectly.

從紐約搬到灣區拍攝婚禮也有五年的時間了，期間也拍過不少優秀的專業人士，但教授真的是第一次。

我們來到了他們當初相遇的自修室，雖然都穿著禮服，但時光彷彿一下子回到了校園的日子。

婚宴的環節，各個學霸的炸裂級別PPT演講，更是精彩絕倫。教授的誓詞與切蛋糕的方式也是非常的與眾不同，非常榮幸可以紀錄這麼好玩和美好的一天！

Every wedding is a chance to discover a new love story—and a glimpse into the beauty of local traditions.

Chinese wedding customs vary across regions, each with its own charm. This time, I witnessed a Shandong family preparing wide red noodles using dragon fruit and flour—a symbolic blessing of joy and abundance for the couple.

After the tea ceremony, the couple shared a quiet ritual with deep roots. Moments like these remind me how meaningful it is to carry forward even a piece of one’s heritage, especially while living far from home.

Vows and speeches are always my favorite part—hearing the journey of two people, especially those building a life in a new country, always speaks to something deeper.

What a serene afternoon at @hakonegardens — sunlight filtering through the trees, quiet vows echoing in the air. Just close family and friends, cheering for a new chapter and a joyfully ever after.

What I cherish most about being a wedding photographer is witnessing the entire story unfold in a single day. I stood with them as they signed their vows and promised forever, surrounded by sunlit trees, blooming flowers, and the joyful sounds of loved ones. Even the birds seemed to join in the celebration. Then we ran — leaving the garden behind, returning to the familiar streets of the city. Together, we captured moments that now belong only to them.

洛杉磯太多打卡的地方，或許部分人覺得拍得很網紅才能突出這座城市的氛圍，然而我想把LA拍得不太像LA，譬如清晨的小酢一杯，午後在市政廳閒逛，在日本公園享受午後的陽光，才是我們在這座城市生活的劇照。

Stormy day is probably a nightmare for most photographers, but for our photoshoot this March, it accentuated the warmth of T&K and reflected a very refreshing side of San Francisco. Despite the clumsy weather and muddy roads, the couple held on to each other’s hand and continued hiking. There was not much sun that day, but their faces were ever so glowy under the umbrella.

Beneath swaying palms and an endless ocean blue,
Two souls vowed to journey through life anew.

A floral arch framed their promises of forever,
The love as vast as the sea, unyielding, clever.

From vows under the sun to a joyous evening dance,
Every glance was magic, every step a chance.

In the garden of home, where love grows wild,
hearts reconciled with the cute ones.

Fields of gold stretch beyond the hills,
A dance in the sun, where time stands still.

Each glance, a poem, each step, a song,
Together in light, where we belong.
