The one with the good ring exchange picture

This is the best ring exchange photo I have ever shot. I like it because all the hands and fingers in the photo look natural and graceful. The minister’s hands in the foreground add an extra touch of formality to the wedding ceremony scene. And not only are both wedding bands visible, but there is [...]

On the morning of her wedding, Cynthia had her priorities in good order: hair, make-up and breakfast. All at the same time.The Asian-inspired peach sofa set at Cynthia’s parents’ home didn’t quite fit with the modern and purple-themed wedding. But I chose it as the backdrop for detail shots anyway because sometimes you like to [...]

The one with the pretty macaron

Oooh, a pretty macaron!

The one with the forsythia

High Park is a very! popular place for engagement photos during cherry blossom season. But as luck would have it — due to timing and weather — Lorna & Wooyeong’s engagement session took place just a hair before the cherry blossoms were in full bloom. Which meant that we got to shoot with vibrant yellow forsythia flowers [...]

The one with Macaron Attempt #8

I decided that something was fundamentally wrong with all my previous macaron-making attempts, so I tried yet another recipe for Attempt #8 (scaled to 100 g egg white). The batter was much more liquid-y than my previous attempts due to the significantly different ratio of egg white to almond flour and icing sugar. A lot less almond [...]

Red hot!Aleli and Mark make a dashing couple. Not many people can pull off hats with such grace and style!Even though it was unseasonably warm for mid-February, it was still really cold. Props to Aleli for being gutsy enough to wear a skirt…and mad respect that neither Aleli nor Mark complained of the cold! I [...]

Sheer curtains are useful for blocking sunlight and for making neat lines in front of brides and grooms!

The one with the (teaser!) (Asian) Clark Kent

A temporary break from macarons and personal travel photos is in order. Bring on the Asian (although you can’t tell from this teaser shot, haha) Clark Kent!

The one with the fireworks

I’m slowly catching up on my personal photos, hoorah! Chocolate-covered sesame seeds? Yes, please!So we visited my side of the family last June/July (that is how far behind I am, yikes!). Our second order of business (first being to secure the aforementioned chocolate-covered sesame seeds) was to look under my sister’s washing machine to see [...]

The one with Macaron Attempt #7

yellowbarn — Mon, 26 Mar 2012 18:24:39 +0000

I finally decided that I might as well get a scale. Yes, I did spend an extra $10 to get the “pretty” white scale vs the utilitarian stainless steel / black plastic one. Yes, the Spousal Unit rolled his eyes at me. The batter was a little undermixed, but better than being overmixed, right?! I [...]
