New York City Photographer » Weddings and Portraits

... Find me on Facebook & Twitter! ...

Hi! I'm Kim :) I'm a photographer based in New York City. I especially love photographing weddings, ever since I got married and became obsessed with the wedding world!

I love the feeling I get from great photographs — a rush of emotion, and a reminder of all the amazing and beautiful things in this world. My favorite photos, the ones I am really drawn to, are always lighthearted and full of glee. I'm really a kid at heart and love to play, and I love when that sense is captured in my photos!

Besides taking photos of people, I also love food photography (especially desserts... I'm addicted to chocolate!!)

Here are a couple of other random things about me...

My list of hobbies includes both knitting and playing rugby for the Village Lions :)

I'm married to my husband, my favorite person in the world!

I'm a software developer by day (my bio pic was taken by my coworker, Michael Jin).

I have taken photography and studio lighting classes at the International Center for Photography and Photomanhattan.

I am a gadget-a-holic! This applies to all kinds of gadgets -- baking supplies, my awesome iPod touch, and of course, all the latest camera equipment :)

I'm a member of PPA (Professional Photographers of America).

I hope that you enjoy my blog! If you do, please subscribe to receive all of the updates. You can also contact me using the contact form above! I'm looking forward to getting to know you, too!

Cheers,
Kim

Dani & Andy Wedding – Sneak Peek

Monday, May 3, 2010 Posted in Weddings

Dani and Andy’s wedding this weekend was seriously a blast. They had the best music (not that I would expect less from a groom who is an indie rock promoter)! They also had some amazing style. I especially love her bouquet, which she made from a Princess Lasertron felt and buttons kit. So cute! Here are some sneak peek images
