The Apprentice is down to the final four. Hun and my favorites are Stefanie and James [and we're not being biased because we know James]. They are both really solid and would do a phenomenal job working for Trump, but James has the edge over Stefanie by being a natural leader. Trump already looks to him for advice. If I were Trump, I would hire both, but since it’s The Apprentice ['not the Apprenti' quoted by a previous winner Randal], we predict that James is going to win. James Sun is the CEO of Zoodango.

It was a late sunny afternoon and everyone was out and about. Everywhere we went, Amelia and Brandon gathered a lot of attention and stares. They are such a hot couple that constant passerbyers couldn’t resist giving them praise. Even so, they were comfortable and had no problems ‘working it’. All we had to do was click away and capture their magic together. As cliché as it sounds, not only are they beautiful on the outside, they are on the inside as well. They have been together for a commendable six and a half years; they even went to Prom together! Thanks to our lovely couple Thuy and Bryan for referring them to us!

Angela and Ryan are an easy-going, no-fuss couple so it was appropriate that they made their celebration their own by emulating just that. It wasn’t your typical wedding with bridesmaids, groomsmen and traditional reception activities. Yet all of their guests were enjoying themselves just being in the company of the love this couple shared.

I haven’t done an individual session in awhile because we’ve been keeping busy with everything else, and Leslie came along since she needed photos for her upcoming music album. I had a lot of fun getting to know her. She grew up in Tennessee so she gave me a good recommendation for a restaurant . . . can’t wait for the yummy ribs next month – what Memphis is known for, she tells me.

[below] In the middle of our session, a random stranger came by and embraced her like he knew her.

I don’t know where, but Felise found us on a banner! Good eye Felise!

It’s so cool to be a part of this, as successful relationships are one of my biggest passions in life.  Jason told us that our blogs directed 3,000+ hits to the site in one day – I couldn’t believe it!

Hyun Ji and Mike are so adorable together! Mike is outgoing and funny and Hyun Ji is so sweet and more on the timid side. How cute are they to take a phone pic together on their wedding day!

[below] Our dear friend from Melrose Florist arranged all the elegant floral designs.

[below] Timing was a little tricky with escalators so it took me two times to get this shot but the guys had a lot of fun going up and down.

[below] It takes a village to get the bride ready.

[below] They included a huge ice sculpture to enhance their reception.

[below] Sitting on the chair is Mike’s sister. Getting ready to put the garter up her leg is a friend. Getting ready to knock him out is Mike.

[above] No one got hurt because Mike is too nice.

[below] Right before we were about to leave, Hun snapped one of the grandparents sitting oh-so-pleasantly. That made my heart melt.

Hyun Ji and Mike went on their honeymoon to Maldives. It’s a breathtaking place, but its existence is threatened because the ocean continues to rise on the flattest country in the world. Interesting fact.

Audrey crossed off her checklist of places that she wanted to live in – Seattle, San Francisco, New York, Paris, and Miami – what an accomplishment! Audrey and Alex met in New York, but Miami is her favorite by far, where they both currently reside. So they flew us out for their engagement session, which we are delighted that they did since we probably wouldn’t go there on our own accord. Alex is originally from Turkey so Hun was able to relate since he went on a photography assignment in Turkey about five years ago. It was a gorgeous early morning in Sunny Isles Beach before all the beach bunnies came out. Also, the building they live in is famous for being in CSI Miami. Beautiful weather, beautiful locale, beautiful couple . . . life is good.

Richard wrote a very touching letter to Rosemary which she read while her bridesmaids were lacing up her dress.

[below] As part of the ceremony, both sets of parents came up and prayed for the union of their children. It was such a touching moment as well as emotional. 

[below] My little munchkin of the day!

[below] Hun and I usually do a good job of getting out of each other’s shots, but this particular time, I strategically put myself in his shot where I knew I could be ninja-like [and also be able to Photoshop myself out].
