This is a huuuge post. I must have gone through my shots over a dozen times trying to choose just a few to post here. Impossible. I sill most definitely have to include a Part II for the teasers because the shots/location/couple/EVERYTHING are just THAT good! Welcome to Chateau Challain…

I’m in editing overdrive right now. Sorting out a ton of things before my flight to Vancouver tomorrow morning. Here’s a quick teaser of Laurence & Alex in Shanghai. Lau & Alex decided to have their marriage at the French Consulate with close family and friends. The Religious ceremony will be taking place in France [...]

Creative engagement photography! Amy wanted balloons, Amy GOT balloons! Let’s just say…balloons plus hot sun do not play nice together. :p

Sergiy and Oksana have been living in Shanghai for roughly 7 years and live in this amazing complex in the ‘Dong. Had I known about their amazing facilities sooner I would have shot them there instead of the Bund. In any case, they were a ton of fun to shoot…especially the 2 girls. ;)

Ready for some Rock n Roll in Shanghai? You guys definitely need to check Studio 188 out.

New to Shanghai, Eric and Ruth-Ann decided that they wanted to have some engagement photos shot at the Bund before returning home to LA for their wedding. Luckily we were shooting during a time where the weather was at it’s absolute best in Shanghai. I don’t think we could have asked for better weather that [...]

For those of you in Shanghai who are looking for some amazing American cuisine, Madison is the new kid in town right smack dab in the middle of the French Concession. A place for great food and great times with great people. No. 18 Dongping Lu, 3F (between Wulumuqi Lu and Hengshan Lu)

Kelley & Eduardo are two of Shanghai’s best known restaurateurs among the expat scene. They, along with their managing partners, decided to create this booklet which showcases each of their restaurants. Photos of the chef/management team were then taken for each individual concept. The project was extremely challenging from the beginning as we had a [...]

Had a great day today with Bev and Jason at Sheshan park.

Have had an extremely busy few weeks of shooting and not much time for editing…so don’t be surprised to see some frequent updates as I finish polishing off a few projects. Up first…Sam and Teddy. Sam and Teddy first met each other at Fudan University, so we decided to have the shoot on campus to [...]

Loving it here!

Flora and Han were a blast to shoot with. They have this really rockin motorbike which we took for a spin around the city. The helmets and goggles look great as well…the little details count. ;) Also, this is only Part 1. Stay tuned for some Polo action!

*edit, I recently added more photos to this post….so enjoy. :) Cici and Kevin (also living in Shanghai) happened to be in Vancouver the same time I was. So I convinced them to have their engagement session in Vancouver as the weather would be muuuuuuch cooler. Summer time…Vancouver…could you ask for anything more? =]

Yes, we even have access to beaches in Shanghai. Okay fine…they’re man-made, but we take what we can get right? Spent a terrific autumn day at Sculpture park with Hank, Jessie, and Shadow. If you have a dog, you should definitely check it out.

Just wanting to wish everyone Happy Holidays!

Claire and I had been playing phone tag for the past few weeks constantly postponing the photo shoot due to the constant bad weather. It was always rain, rain, rain, rain. I think Claire must have paid off the karma gods because just as I had about given up…the sun finally appeared. :) Congrats again [...]

*update: Just found out that one of the photos below is going to be published. =] Took some photos over at the Shanghai Community International School. It was nice being on campus for most of the day…felt like I was home again. Take a look at the first photo of the girl with the soccer [...]

I had the opportunity to shoot an engagement party at the very Über cool Hamilton House. The design inside is very reminiscent of 1930′s art Deco with a mix of contemporary style. Definitely pay them a visit as the food is amazing as well. Check here for more details. http://www.hamiltonhouse.com.cn/ Now, onto the photos! I [...]

I think I’ll let the photos speak for themselves in this one. A part of me reaaaaaaaally wished I wasn’t in the wedding party so that I could go out and take photos of everything. Heh heh…no offense bro. ;)

Here’s a “save the date” I did for my brother. We had some fun in the basement using my new lights. I think they turned out well.
