A couple months ago, I had the privilege of shooting with my good friend Junshien. He's a kick butt photographer and moving fast in the wedding photography scene. He shoots a lot with Scott Robert, who is known for his workshops and high-energy. It's fun being able to work together in this industry to try and elevate each other. I have met very few number of photographers who were closed off or seemed competitive. I think David Jay's example of the more you give the more you receive in this industry is really true. I've been finding that the more I give of my time and energy to my fellow photographers, the more they share the love back to me, sometimes ten fold! Junshien, is one of those guys that does that and it's been fun helping each other out. I'll be putting up a couple more weddings that I shot with other photographers last year, now that we're done with our own clients' work.

Jeannie and Galen got married in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park in front of the Queen Wilhelmina Tulip Gardens. I love second shooting, as it enables me to take on a whole different perspective. It also reminds me how hard of a job it is to be a second shooter.

The girls made the guys wait outside and bargain their way into Jeannie's apartment to pick her up. This is one of those shots where I remember thinking, how do I capture this moment?
