JENN + DAN MARRIED

what an awesome experience i had second shooting for Kenny Phan last month. Jenn and Dan are just full of fun surprises, I could not believe what went on during the wedding. see for yourselves, here are some of my favorites.

i’ll admit, i got a little worried for my camera after this shot.

the special guest was a surprise for dan as they did the grand entrance! truly one awesome wife!

Connie - Great work, Ricky. You’ve come such a long way in such a short period of time!

TIME SPENT

lately, most of my time has been spent in my cubicle at work or at home working some more. a few days ago, as i was driving home from the office, i couldn’t stop looking up at the beautiful clouds. once i got home, i immediately grabbed the camera and took a stroll around the block. here are just a couple of images i thought i’d share from my stroll. ending with the dogs waiting patiently at the back door for their parents =)

THE TUNG SISTERS

i’ve had a warm and fuzzy feeling about this post all day and throughout the time i’ve been working on these photos. meet Catherine and Staphanie Tung! two awesome awesome awesome sisters that are ridiculously rad, cool, hilarious, smart, cute, and the list goes on and on! the shoot was a blast as we strolled down old town pasadena. here are my favs from the day.

my fav!

ben - ricky! I love your style! It’s always so fresh and calming! Good Stuff! But One critic! The one picture with the sister standing on the right(Blurred one) and the sister sitting. The damn Ford or w/e is too sharp! But besides that love it, and the last shot especially! Oh the one with them lying down on the bench too, that’s just genius! Also the angled shot with them lying back to back.. damn forget it. I love all of em! Good stuff. If my style somewhat starts to resemble yours, take it as a compliment :D

Fashion fun with friends

a month back i took some friends out for a fashion shoot just for fun.  it was the perfect day with nice cool breeze and lots of sun. i couldn’t do it without fiona as my stylist for the day, she was full of win! here are a few of my favorites from the day.

and something fun in between!

ANOTHER DAY WITH THE DOGS

just one of those days you wake up and enjoy the company around you. our dogs that run a muck around the house have been such a joy to see each morning. this set was taken back in the end of 2009 when lucy had to get surgery on her hip. she was born with a weak hip socket, it was so sad to see her as a pup already getting surgery. although that did not stop her from bringing laughter and joy into our hearts here at home.

enzo shake it!

ocho loves to find weird places to sleep sometimes (between all the wires next to the tv).
