just got the news that i got accepted into the ARTISTIC GUILD OF THE WEDDING PHOTOJOURNALIST ASSOCIATION. sure, i can play the coy and modest asian girl that i was brought up to be, but i’m just too happy to do that. YAY~!!! (doing my happy dance) i feel very honored to be apart of this elite group of photographers that focuses on fine art wedding photojournalism. ok, now i must call everyone i know to brag, i mean… share, this wonderful news!

here are some outtakes from the shoot dave did of me for our new website. i was stressing for weeks and even attempted to go on another crazy diet, but gave up after 3 days because of my addiction to shin ramyun. in the end, i was able to lose that extra 5 lbs with the help and support of my best friend, adobe photoshop.

let’s start with something nice: sexy yvonne (again, special thanks to the good people at adobe photoshop)

mysterious yvonne

drunk yvonne and hideously deformed yvonne

apparently, i am incapable of closing my mouth when getting my photos taken …

one of my favorite part in wedding photography is designing the wedding album. i love playing with the layout of the images to compose a story. i look a leap of faith and entered miranda+cory’s album to the very competitive annual wppi album competition. to my surprise, i received an email from them last week to let me know that my album actually received an ” accolade of excellence .” regardless, i really enjoyed designing this album, but a little recognition is always welcome…

here’s some highlights from the album:
