Effective Immediately.

I moved my blog to a new location. its gonna be john-lo.com Please update your RSS Feed accordingly.

Thank you. See you at my new home.

I know, its been awhile since I updated my blog.   I’ve been busy with lots of new and exciting fun things going on.   Hopefully this blog post will satisfied you for the lost time.

I don’t often run into friends at weddings, especially not a wedding that I am hired to shoot.  But to run into three friends is almost unheard of.  It is always great to see old friends, especially when there’s a long childhood history & stories to go with it.  Harry, it was great seeing you and meeting your kids. At least this time we didn’t run into each other at Babies R Us buying diapers.  Scott and Jennifer – Awesome to know you guys are a couple, and great to see you Scott, its been super LONG time.

Shirley and Thomas Wedding
Reception: Mudan Banque Hall @ Queens Crossing in Flushing, New York.

A perfect day for a perfect couple.   The temperature was a little on the chilly side.  But we still manage to get some amazing shots.  Here’s a few images on their day.   Oh, check out their wedding cake made by the JennyTyler Lee @ Cupcakes in Heels.   Pretty awesome!!

I also posted a few more on my Facebook Fan Page. Come check it out.

Finally I got to meet the great Jina Yoon, the Make-up & Hair artist from JAC Beauty.  She’s awesome.  Just ask any brides she worked with.   And of course, as always, my good buddy William Eng who invited me to help him. Thanks Dude, can’t wait until the next time we’ll shoot again.

I met William Chang, a fellow awesome photographer a year ago at the Photog ShootOut.  Since then we became good friends (mainly from Facebook & Twitter).  When he asked if I would be available to photograph the Tea Ceremony on his wedding day.   I told him it would be an honor to document such important event.   I actually had plan that day, thank god the 2 year old birthday party was in the afternoon.  Anyway, here’s some photos from  Maureen & William’s Chinese Wedding Tea Ceremony.

Congrats Maureen & William!!

Redhawk Native American Powwow held at Floyd Bennett Brooklyn New York on June 5 – 6, 2010.  Good Time!!!!

This video was taken by my wife, Amanda.

Here are some photos taken by me of course. heheh!

Wow, I can’t believe Emily turned three years old.  I still remember photographing her parents’ wedding.

I didn’t take as much pictures as I would like to have.  I think I was too busy chatting (catching up) with friends, especially those who I haven’t seen in years.   Here are some images I manage to capture while chatting.   Hope you all will enjoy!!!    Happy Birthday Emily.  We hope you had as much fun as we did.

Sorry to be posting these pictures over a month late.   Better later than never huh!   Instead of going straight home after a week at the Poconos (I will post those pictures next week), we headed to the Queens County Farm Museum to meet up with my friends for the Easter Egg Hunt.    It was crazy crowded.   Lines were wrap around into the parking line.   Once we were in, it only took few minutes to find the eggs.   Overall I think Dylan had a good time.  Always good to see everyone, especially the kids.

Fact:   I’m a pretty good chef.   Everyone that ate my cooking are still alive.
