Back in the days when I began to study photography my very first job was assisting a photographer who owns a wedding studio in Southern California. It was mentally and psychically draining job because this particular studio serve mostly Chinese weddings(To gave you some idea Chinese/Taiwanese weddings usually runs about 8-10 hours because there're more ceremonies to go through), which means we usually spent the entire day running around places and by the time it was over it's almost mid-night. Salary was pathetic for the obvious fact that I was on student visa and they can't really hire me. Adding to the matter worse the boss is a very short-tempered man and for a smallest mistake he would yelled at you for hours(Only years later I heard through family that he suffered from depression, which explained his temper). Finally after little over than three months it was too much for me to take so I resigned.

Years after I left this studio I had several people asked me if I photograph weddings, especially here in Vancouver. But I always trying to avoid doing weddings for the unpleasant experience I had back in the US(even though I've done something more stressful in the past six years). It was not until sometime ago I began to play around with the idea again because wedding photography is quiet a significant sector in Vancouver. In addition I was trying to incorporate wedding photography with my own style. But what's more important is that this time I'm not working under anyone so there won't be a boss yelling at me. And this led to the wedding I photographed two weeks ago.

The result? Well......you'll be the judge.....
