I was stoked when Andres & Kim asked me to photograph their wedding. Andres is a super-talented photographer and teacher from Nyack and he shot few weddings with me. It is always an honor to be asked by another photographer to capture their special moments especially because they have an eye for capturing beautiful images themselves. Andres & Kim gave me total control and just acted like a normal couple client would. I had complete freedom to capture some fun moments with them through out various parts of lower Manhattan side. NY is one of my favorite places to shoot and it even graced us with good weather and little bit of rain to add character to our shoot.

I can’t post everything as well shot alot but here’s just a quick preview of what’s to come.

My new blog is almost here. Thanks for your patience!

Here’s a funny comic strip that I read today. Reminds me of me in lot of ways. I love What The Duck series by Aaron Johnson. If you haven’t had chance to check them out, please do!

Jinny and Mark, both physicians, started dating when they met in medical school. One fall, Mark took Jinny on a surprise trip to Vermont. There, while hiking in the Green Mountains, they reached a lookout and stopped to admire the view.

The Bride Jinny Kim, 28, physician
The Groom Mark Duncan, 30, physician
The Date March 8

Suddenly Mark pulled a ring out of his backpack, got down on his knees, and proposed. "The entire way back down the mountain, I kept tripping because I couldn’t help admiring my new ring!" Jinny says. Five months later, they were married in the Oak Park church where Mark’s father was a pastor. Although it was early March, the wedding festivities were awash in purples and greens in tribute to Easter and the coming spring.

Big thanks to The Knot and their staff for featuring my work. It’s always honor to have your work recognized. My good friend/mentor Bob Davis came to assist me that day (It still sounds weird saying that). Also David Lai & Megan Lloyd came to help us out that day so it made it ton of fun!

I love what my Cliff Mautner said: "We’re only as good as our clients." So thank you Mark & Jinny for making that possible for me to photograph.

"Kenny Kim’s ability to simplify an image while brilliantly packing it with emotion is unmatched and gives the viewer an experience even better than what was really there!" – David Jay – Award Winning International Lecturer / Photographer / Entrepreneur

Kenny Kim has always been fascinated by the visual arts – and especially the connection between art & photography.  His passion first led to the study of graphic design at the University of Illinois, where he also became a skilled web designer and eventually opened up his own design studio in 2003.  It was during this period, he began to realize that the greatest outlet for his artistic expression and technical skills would be through his passion for photography.

Incorporating his own vision into the technical elements of photography, Kenny’s goal with each photo he takes is to present each moment he captures with a subtle artistry that enhances the feel of the moment.  With the launch of Kenny Kim Photography in 2006, Kenny’s vision for a photographer’s work instantly resonated with his audience and within a short period of time, Kenny Kim Photography has now grown into a nationally recognized studio.  In just 3 short years, Kenny has been commissioned for over 100 weddings in locations throughout the United States and the Caribbean.  He was also retained to shoot for the University of Illinois Menʼs Basketball & Tennis teams along with various celebrity events featuring David Foster, Andrea Bocelli, John Legend, Three Doors Down, Chris Tomlin, Michael W. Smith, and many others.

Kenny currently resides in Chicago, Illinois. He is thankful everyday for the privilege to call his passion in life, his profession as well.

THE LOGO

People, poses, position, placement and the priority for each – just a few of the elements that need to harmonize to produce great photography. This logo is a symbol of Kenny’s philosophy and approach to every photo opportunity he embraces. From behind the lens, his goal is to do more than simply capture each element – but to create that perfect balance of these elements in each of the photos that will become the lasting memories of your special time.

Whew. It was the longest 6 days of my life. I’ve finally caught up from all the craziness of hustle & bustle at WPPI 2009 Convention. Skip Cohen and staff at RangeFinder sure do know how to put on the "Greatest Show on Earth" for weddding & portrait photographers. This was my third year attending the convention and it was a little different experience for me as I officially got to document everything through my camera. I normally do this wherever I go, but having given the privilege, I accepted the challenge and got my A-game on to cover as much of the event as I can. Well with 10,000+ in attendance, trying to be (in the words of Dane Sanders) ubiquitous was nearly impossible – even with the assistance of two other photographers (Dustin Francis & Kenny Nakai). After sifting through 10,000, I was able to cull it down to 1200 for submission and 200 for blog/facebook. One of the toughest thing about covering events like this is to see things from different perspectives (attendees, speakers, staff as well as for people that didn’t get to attend WPPI but want to live through the experience vicariously). It was a long and laborious effort and I still have more images to edit through. But I know many of you are expecting anxiously to see the images online so I will leave you with these to share with you:

Thank you WPPI for this great opportunity. Big shout to Dustin & Kenny that came to help me out. They definitely made this experience more fun. Also, big thanks to Ed Meyers at Canon for loaning me their super sick 200mm F2.0 lens!

Coming soon…
This might be my last official post on xanga. My new blog will be launched next week and I’m stoked to share it with you as soon as it is released. I will keep you guys posted!
