Congratulations Mayumi & Greg,
Thank you for having us to part of your wedding day.
Mayumi and Greg met at the local church. They chose to get married in beautiful The Park Street Church in Boston & their reception was held at Harvard Club of Boston main house. Both venues had such a wonderful coordinators to work with and I was so impressed how organized everything was. I can’t thank everyone enough for working with LA photographers who demanded much of their time. And a very special thank you goes out to Peter,Jennifer and Maria at Harvard Club, you made me feel so great to photograph at your venue. I would return to photograph events for you guys anytime! Wedding day schedule always runs late, I didn’t have much time with bride and groom but here is what I was able to capture of their wedding day! Of course AK was my 1st lead photographer for this wedding.
I love to travel and I travel as often as I could. So you can only imagine how excited I become about destination weddings. As much as it is challenging to photograph in different environment and tricky to travel with photography equipments, I am thrilled when I get asked to photograph destination weddings. The new location can work as a muse for me. So when I heard from Mayumi that she will be getting married this spring in Boston, I was thrilled for 2 reasons. One, I was happy for my good friend found who found her Mr. Perfect. Two, I was happy to go back to Boston in the spring. I love any places that I can use public transportation and walk around without worrying about my safety too much. This way I can photograph things freely without worrying about finding parking.
We had initially planned to do a quick casual session in the city before Saturday but we got rained out. To tell you the truth, I would have so gone for romantic rainy day couple’s session but rain came with the storm. Being a wedding photographer is like being a therapist at times; Mayumi texted me that she felt little overwhelmed to do casual session on Thursday so I backed out. It would have been so great to have that romantic rainy day session for them and for my portfolio but what’s also important to me is that my client feels relaxed in front of my camera. I learned to balance two things as I became more experienced with weddings. It’s not about how many images I create; it’s whether I can create “That” one strong image which has impact on their life. The image so strong that can bring them right back to where they started their life as a husband and a wife. Mayumi & Greg, I hope I got that one image for you to to treasure.

When Mayumi sent me a quick photo of her dress, I suggested that she add sash. She picked out this beautiful one. I am all for “Less is More” but when your venue is dark and everything else is simple, the bride should stand out. Plus you only get married once right?
Adorable ring bearer Sam & Flower girl Jenny, they danced together all night!
Love Mayumi’s mischievous smile on this image
AK caught this beautiful moment when I was photographing them on the other side.
