D + C

Another week, another beautiful wedding.
Here are a few images from a wedding I did recently.

This little girl is completely blown away when she sees the bride for the first time.


Trying to sneak back to the changing room. Just imagine cartoon's tip-toeing sound effect here :)


Trying to work off pre-wedding nervous jitter.


Seeing each other for the first time.


Simply beautiful.




The beaming bride and her proud dad.


The bubbly bride at the altar.


The ceremony runs a bit too long for them.


I thought this is pretty funny.


Party time!!!!


Wheeee!



That's all for now.

'till next time.

Photography Contest

Hi all,

I'm just so stoked to find that a few of my images placed in WPJA 2007 photography contest. I feel extremely blessed to have been placed among some amazing photo talents not only in the U.S but also all around the world.

This one placed 9th in "Silhouttes, Shadow and Good Light" category.


This one placed 18th in "Reception" category.


And this one placed 18th in "Action" category.


And this one is from the year 2006 that I just found out when a friend of mine sent me a link to it, that the image had placed on the contest. This particular image placed 20th in the "Getting Ready" category.


To all my current and future clients, would it be fun, not to mention it gives you bragging rights, if your wedding images place in the future photo competition? So give me a call, shoot me an email, and let me shoot your wedding :)


Cheers,

David Tsai Tjiptogarsono

Thuy + Greg

Another fun couple, yea!

Thuy and Greg were such a good sports during the photo shoot, they would do anything for cool shots. And we were having fun time just walking around looking for cool things to do and shoot. They're so goofy and funny like me. Actually, it's like seeing two of me except they are much funnier and better looking, by far.

So Greg and Thuy found this scooter and took it for a virtual joy ride.



They look great together.



Another one that I like.




It's going to be a fun wedding, I just know it :)

Much love.

Olivia + Ben

Just imagine one afternoon during blistery winter day here in Kansas City and out of the blue I got this phone call from a bride asking if I can shoot her wedding in Los Angeles. Hmmm...was this an excuse I'd been looking for to get out and to escape Kansas cold weather, at least temporarily?

But it turned out I didn't need an excuse at all, had Los Angeles been a colder place than Kansas City I'd have still gone to shoot Oli and Ben's wedding for they're one of the most loving, kind-hearted people that I've ever known.

Since their wedding was on Sunday I arrived in Los Angeles on Saturday afternoon. After a quick introduction, after all this was our first meeting ever, we went out to shoot their engagement portrait with barely enough day-light left.

Here are some of the photos that I took of them.

From their engagement photo shoot



Sweet moment...




Who said Asian can't jump? :)



Ben's watching Oli getting ready. Guys only take like 5 minutes to get ready for their wedding, right guys? :)





Oli's having a good time...



Oli's dad taking a little siesta. It's going to be a long and fun day so everybody needed an extra rest here and there :)



Ben's scrambling...



From the tea ceremony.




Last minute touch up on the way to the wedding




Oh no!!! Broken heel. But Ben with all his coolness, and a little help from Krazy Glue, fixed it for Oli. All is well now.



Just beautiful.





Pay no attention to the people behind the curtain :)
Oli and Ben nervously waiting to be announced.



The blessing by families and friends





Oli and Ben always do things together ;)



The beautiful venue, Cafe Santorini in Pasadena, where they had their wedding and reception.


Oli and Ben, it's truly a blessing and honor for me to be part of your special day.

Much love.
