• [welcome! to the richard cao photo blog!]

    HI!!! Welcome to my blog. Explore and see what the jeebus goes on in the world through my camera. Stick around and snoop through everything random happening in my life, from photo shoots to all the other craziness I do on my spare time. I'm a portrait photographer located in Los Angeles and Orange County, but I'll happily go anywhere you want to take me. =) I shoot couples, families, weddings, and your special events. If you have something different, chat me up. Lets DO IT!!!

    Check out the "about" section to get to know me a little better.

    I hope to hear from you soon!

Christie + Anthony Chan Married

i had the pleasure to work with Christie and Anthony Chan, these two are such a sweet couple.

i was hired to 2nd shoot along side their friend Lucas. it was super easy working with him, we collaborated

and really rocked the day. i hope i will get to work with the newly weds and Lucas again soon.

here are few of my favorites from the night.

the first two are my favs!

by far the craziest thing i did year to date. maybe a new sport, dodging golf balls as you shoot a bridal party.

RAHMAN 40TH ANNIVERSARY

Rafeeq my good friend asked me to shoot his parents 40 year anniversary family portraits, but they didn’t know there was a surprised dinner involved right after. Rafeeq couldn’t have planned it any better down to the bone. lots of friends and family came to celebrate a memorable day for the Mr and Mrs. Rahman. these two are so sweet, and i was happy i was there to celebrate it with them. here are some of my favs.
