Shape Up US

kelvin — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 16:39:49 +0000

Couple weeks ago I had a chance to attend the Shape UP US event in Mesa. It is a very meaningful event to promote wellness habit. It’s wonderful to see this movement to encourage community to stay healthy. Jyl Steinback is the driving force behind this event. Shape Up US is a non-profit organization promoting wellness through local schools / teachers. Their goal is to have healthy children and adults in this country. What a good cause!

In action!

Photoshoot For Haiti – Inspirador

kelvin — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 12:39:28 +0000

What a wonderful Saturday in downtown Chandler. I can’t express enough appreciation for the involvement from some local wedding professionals. They donated their time and talent for the victims in the devastating Haiti earthquake happened last month. For $50, professional makeup service, professional hair styling and professional photography are provided to the generous donors. 100% of the proceedings is sent to Red Cross for Haiti Relief.

The idea just came up two weeks ago when I was chatting with Kym Ventola in facebook. We were immediately on fire and it’s amazing that more than 40 wedding professionals from makeup artists, hair stylists, DJ, catering, event planning and event venues were gathered to support this good cause. This is not the end but the start of some meaningful actions we would like to do with our time and talent for the community.

Many many thanks to everyone who participated in this event!!!

Inspiration Lounge Grand Opening

Had a privilege to attend the grand opening of the Inspiration Lounge in Inspirador. It is a great on-stop shop for wedding and event planning. From florists to cake designers to invitation design, from DJ to videographers, it’s all available in the Lounge. I’m honor to be one of the feature photographers. AZ Central had an article about the Lounge. Make sure you check it out in person next time when you’re in downtown Chandler.

Phoenix NACE 3rd Annual Event Elements Competition

kelvin — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 16:00:34 +0000

Had a chance to photograph the Phoenix NACE 3rd annual Event Elements Competition. The title is “Confectionary Creations & Table Top Decor Competition”. Life Design Events and The Invitation Lady spent countless hours in their table decoration. I love all the details in their decor, the RED is very eye catching. The theme of their table is Harajuku Style. Harajuku style is a Japanese fashion adopted by the teenagers and young adults in the Harajuku area and its side streets which have many boutiques, trendy stores and used clothes shops. I wish the bestfor Cicely and Rikki for this competition!

Vendor: Creative Event Rentals

Venue: Arizona Grand Resort

Unleashing Creativity

kelvin — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 06:44:21 +0000

In general, people think creativity is a talent. It only comes with certain people. It has a totally new definition from the documentary film “Unleashing Creativity“. It was created by Phyllis Lane & Rodrigo Coelho. Phyllis and Rodrigo are also the creators of Couture Book, an unique album design house. From idea to shooting to the completion of the film, it’s done in a month which is unheard of. This film was created to raise money for Free Arts of Arizona. Inspirador in downtown Chandler held the premiere.
