Evelyn & Mark

Mark & Evelyn has a very unique and beautiful wedding in Sausalito. The ceremony is at a very chic, charming church, while the reception is at an Italian restaurant. But as you can see, they definitely brought some Asian influences with the traditional Lion dance!

It definitely was a fun, cozy wedding. Everyone participated at the Karaoke after the reception, and I promised I won't post those on my blog!

Maureen & Wilson

I am truly happy to be shooting Maureen & Wilson's wedding at Acqua Hotel, Mil Valley. The reason why is that it brings back a lot of memory... why? Because I also got married at Acqua Hotel back in 2007!

Enough about myself however!

Maureen & Wilson's wedding is truly a fun wedding to be part of, and definiely make use of the good weather in sunshine California. The ceremony is an outdoor ceremony by the Richardson bay, and the reception is indoor in the modern reception room.

Hope you guys can feel the excitment and happiness of the event through the pictures as well!

Andy & Tiffany at the Hokone Garden

Congrats to Andy & Tiffany for the pretty wedding on 10/18, and thanks for letting me be a part of it. In between the ceremony and the reception, we all went to the Japanese Hokone Garden in Saratoga, CA, and have a more traditional Asian style photo session, we all had a blast!!

Russian cathedral.

Now that my Europe vacation is done, it is time to catch up on my backlog of pictures.

I am blessed to be the photographer for Vakhtang and Alina at the Russian Cathedral in September. The church is beautiful, and it is definitely a fun crowd to be with.

It is a relatively dark church, but I am glad the pictures come out perfectly!







Also, throwing in some stylized effect for fun!






To wrap it up at Legions of Honor

Europe, here I come!

Finally it's the time for vacation!!! So if you are trying to email me from my website mlamphotography.com , then SORRY! but I will be roaming around in the streets of Barcelona, or maybe sitting at the beach in Cannes / Nice, or gambling in Monte Carlo, or shopping in Milan, or visiting musuems in Florence, or riding watertaxi in Venice..... but probably not sitting in front of my computer working. (ok fine.. i am actually addicted to email, so I will still check my email frequently probably)

Anyways, if you are trying to contact me and I don't reply, you know where I am!

I will post some pictures when I get back!!

The moon festival!

The moon / mid autumn festival!! To reminisce the old times where you hold a lantern and run around for no reasons, or when you boil the wax to create fire that is 2 stories high, or when you eat mooncakes till you can't eat it anymore.... the good ol' days.

Nowadays, we don't really do those anymore. And traditional mooncakes are supplemented by new ages ones, how about coffee flavored mooncakes?? Ice skinned green bean mooncakes?? oh well, what can I say, I like all of those! me and dessert!

As I don't set out fire hazards anymore, then the only good use for the time is to take some pictures of the moon:

Enjoy! Happy mid autumn!

Frank & Adrianne

The good thing about living in California is that we see a lot of outdoor weddings. On 8/23/08, Frank and Adrianne decided to tie the knot at the Stinson Beach, near the Golden Gate bridge.

It was a small, intimate and lovely wedding. And I had my first shot of the wedding unity sand ceremony!

Jeff & Meredith

One of the fun things I get to experience as a wedding photographer are the creativity in a wedding. Jeff and Meredith has a casual and intimate wedding at Berkeley Faculty Club on the lucky day (well at least for Chinese) 08.08.08. , and I especially like the little touches like the ducky on the cup cakes. Scroll down and you will know what I mean!

Congrats again to the lovely couple, thanks for including me in this special 888 lucky day.

Josh & Andrea

What a great day to get married! This lovely couple got married at Berkeley, and the weather couldn't be better. I put together an album that is currently shown on my main site mlamphotography.com , under "gallery", so feel free to check it out.

But here's a few samples of the album:





















Isn't it such a great day??

And as usual, I am happy to be there for them!
