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!!!

Thuy & Justin – Engaged

kelvin — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 21:20:37 +0000

Thuy and Justin were in Phoenix for a few days visit. They are getting married in 2010 Summer. I’m excited for them!

Love it!

Justin picked the right color!

The weather was very cold. Thuy is brave!

Shot a portrait in this location a month ago, but it was in a different time of the day. Totally different feel.

Justin told me he is not good in posing, but I guess he look great.

In love!

Emily is my friend, she has been waiting for her puppy from the local pet adoption center for a while. Finally she got Shadow few weeks ago. Shadow is very friendly, Audrey was playing with Shadow while I was doing the shoot.

Really like this one!

Emily loves her Purple door!

Shadow is tired about an hour shoot!

Glad Shadow has a home now!

Fun time in a wedding

Had a chance to 2nd shoot with Larry Reeves in a wedding. It’s a lot of fun, not only the bride and the groom are fun couple to work with. Being able to photograph a wedding without too much pressure is so great. Here are couple shots I really like. Again, thanks for the opportunity from Larry! Check out the full gallery of this wedding from his site!

Love this one, things happening during father-daughter dance

Look at the expression of bride’s father!

As I spend more time on facebook, I found that I don’t really email that much anymore. I would see updates from my friends through facebook. I would post messages on my friends’ facebook wall. I would be notified from facebook if my friends’ birthday is coming up. I would post my latest update to facebook so that my friends can see it. It’s all around facebook. So I decide to create a Kelvin Photographer fanpage in facebook. You will see the latest update from Kelvin Photographer in this fanpage from now on!
