RICHARD+SARAH, PART 2. [hong kong]
Back with some more as promised from this wedding shoot. Before we went into the city to take the night time shots in the previous post we did some shots on the beach where Richard proposed to Sarah. We shot during golden hour and the sunset light was gorgeous. The beach was nice and empty allowing us the freedom to shoot uninterrupted. Anyways, some more fun photos of Rich and Sarah! (my post processing has recently been influenced by a couple photographers whose work I love and respect, Max Wanger and mango Red, go check them out!)

RICHARD+SARAH, PART 1 [hong kong]
It's been a while and I've been super busy but I'll be updating a ton in these next few weeks from Rich and Sarah's wedding extravaganza in Hong Kong. We shot all over Hong Kong for 4 days, and I must've taken over 5,000 images (yikes!). Hong Kong itself is the craziest/largest city I've been in; it makes NYC feel like a suburb, no joke. There's just so much to see and the peking duck is sooo delicious; even their Pizza Hut is strangely apetizing! Rich and Sarah were super fun, as you will see from their images, and it was just a total blast hanging out and getting to know them over the span of a week. I'm going to post these images somewhat out of order and almost backwards because there are just so many and it would drive me nuts if I had to edit them in a set order. Here are some shots from our last night shooting:

a massive update!
wow it's been a while since my last post as I've been super busy photoshopping weddings from one side of the world to the other. All the traveling has subsided for the time being but will pick up again in a couple weeks as I'll be in San Diego and New Orleans by month's end. Outside of me being trapped indoors 24/7 editing photos, I've had the privilege to meet up with Dana and Hunter, who's wedding I will be shooting in Los Angeles later this summer. They were in town for one of their friend's wedding so we decided it to be a good thing to have a face-to-face while the opportunity stood. I had a great time getting to know them better and really enjoyed all the praise they showered upon me; they are REALLY excited to have me as their photographer, not gonna lie. I'm just as excited to shoot their wedding since they're both artists! Dana is a writer on many a famous wedding blogs and Hunter as a matter of fact was recently in the latest episode of ER! Indeed a very fun couple. =)

Dana, Hunter, and Dana's parents:

looking through one of my sample albums...and loving it!

Hunter on ER (he's the one with the big hair)-

What else do I got for you guys...how about a slideshow from Jenny and Jalon's wedding?

And here's a slew of random images that I've been working on, enjoy!

this last one was shot by my good friend and associate Doug McGoldrick!
two heads are better than one?
so are two sets of eyes!

A New Year's Eve Engagement in Hong Kong with Richard and Sarah.

Being in Hong Kong during this time of year is a new and interesting experience.
The weather is considerably warmer and we're 14 hours ahead of Chicago time so it'll be New Years here first before it is back home. Kinda weird.
Shooting in Hong Kong has been a blast. The feel and aesthetic of the city and rural parts of town are so unique and different from what we have in the states. Every turn of a street corner presents a new photo op.
I've been blessed to be able to come all the way out here to experience something new with a truly remarkable and adventurous couple. I'm also blessed with one great friend in specific out here who has shown me around town and helped me fight my extreme jet lag..or not. Staying up til 5am to go to a 7 eleven for a bowl of ramen isn't exactly everyday exercise. Anyways..looking forward to Rich and Sarah's wedding celebration and banquet in these next few days.

Happy New Years!
-Dan
