Tung and I went for our engagement photography shoot with Michael Soo from Capture the Love Photography. We had booked the session back in November and were very excited to describe the story of how we met to Michael so that he could capture it on his camera. We started in his studio in the morning to have a beat-down session in our martial arts gear. Because you might as well start off with a bang, right?

We next headed to the Pulgas Water Temple in Woodside, CA for some shots with Roman columns.

This "nighttime" shot was produced when the photographer inserted a filter on his flash. Purdy cool.

Now we're going to brave the beach near Golden Gate Bridge. To give you an idea of how cold it is, here we are in winter coats over our fine attire. Carrying the photographer's humong-o battery back for his equipment. It's more than just a pretty face in the works here!
 |
| It's cold! |
OK, back to work. Here's a shot as the sun was setting with an interesting play on the flash to cast our shadows on the cliff behind us even though the sun is also behind us.
