Can you believe I haven’t publish anything on yiuphotography.com for 6 months? So what’s been happening to me?

Aside from not having any new posts up, I’m also guilty of not visiting yiuphotography.com. I’ve been gone too long. The feeling is almost as foreign as returning to high school after being away for years. I’ve forgotten what my website looks like. I didn’t even recognize my own photography style. I should be ashamed.

So what’ve I been doing with my time instead? I’m very proud to say that I’m now a married man. Married to my Annie Cok and whom I’m very proud to call my wife. Annie’s been by my side since the beginning of my photography venture. Which also happened to be the main reason for my absence– planning a wedding is no joking matter. We basically (and painstakingly at times) designed our entire wedding from handmade paper bouquets to the typeface for our invitations. In the end, we made our artsy-fartsy wedding dreams come true. I’ll save that story for another post.

Just weeks after our beautiful wedding, we had to put much of our life everything aside to arrange funeral services for a death in the family. It’s been a very tough time for all of us, a stark contrast to our happy event just weeks prior. Some time has passed and all seems a little brighter once again in these early weeks of 2011, especially as the Lunar New Year celebration soon approaches us in the month of February.

Here’s a post that I started months back but never published. This is The Queens Farm Museum. Back in August, Annie and I were scouting out locations for our engagement shoot. We liked the under-the-sun-outdoor garden atmosphere very much. We agreed that an engagement session at a farm would be in-line with our theme. We took some test shots during out visit and here are some of the shots we came back with.
