Happy Happy Tuesday

I'm baaaack! :) How are you? Just wanted to drop a post for this week with a few images from my trip to Paris & London to tie you over till the next time I blog. :)

This image is one of the very first ones I took the day we got to Paris and is one of my favorites. I did squeal (just a little) when I saw the Eiffel tower. :p


If you look closely, you can see water drops from the branches.


I just had to post this one because I could eat this everyday. If anyone knows of any good places to get schwermas, PLEASE let me know. Because I could seriously eat this every day.


London, baby!


This image looks really cool to me. I didn't have a tripod so I used poles and stuff from the street when doing long exposure shots.


Have a great week everyone! :)

Connie :: Orange County |portrait| FILM

The last time I used my dad's film camera was when I took a black & white class at Cerritos College back in 2008. I seriously loved being in the dark room. The instant I started processing my rolls of film, it was as if nothing else existed. So fun. :) Anyhoo... I felt like it was time to bring back my Canon A1 for some personal fun so I got my friend Connie to model for me. Thanks Connie for being such a good friend! :) All the images below are straight out of the camera... besides my name ofcourse. I hope you enjoy these as much as I enjoyed taking them. :)







So cute.








Out of focus, but I still love. :)




My fav from the day.


Oh man. This one actually ties as a fav too.








Another fav. LoL.




:)


love love LOVE this one! I was totally itching to get the scanned negatives back just for this picture.


And here are just a few from my digital camera.








Love the shot on the right.


Happy Friday!

Miss E :: Boudoir |Los Angeles|

Wow. I can't believe it's almost mid January. Where does the time go???

All right. The real reason for this post! Miss E's boudoir session. I have been itching to post these since I shot them and I must thank Miss E for being so gracious enough for allowing me to post these on my blog. :)

I always knew I'd love shooting boudoir sessions and I am looking forward to shooting more. Having a woman in front of your lens and capturing her vulnerability in a strong and beautiful way is just awesome. I'll be honest. This was my first boudoir shoot... as it was Miss E's... so we were both a little nervous. LoL. But we happily drank a glass or two of champagne before the shoot to help us calm our nerves. :p

And if any of you fab ladies out there are interested in a boudoir session (valentine's day is right around the corner! :) ) shoot me an email at inquiry@connieMchung.com and let's chat about how we can knock your significant other's socks off! :)

Miss E, thanks so much for allowing me to document your oozing sexiness. You seriously rocked it. And thanks to the wonderful Clara of Clara Kim Beauty for doing such a fantastic job on hair and makeup! Now for the pictures! And don't forget the slideshow at the bottom!





Love this shot!




:) This shot makes me happy. Nothing sexier than a cotton tank.

Let's talk about...

A few of my favs from a wedding I 2nd shot in December, right before Christmas. :)
We started at the Ayres Hotel in Laguna Woods for the getting ready pictures and first look.


This picture makes me happy.


Beautiful bride getting ready.




Love this picture. It has such a classic vibe to it.


So pretty!


All these guys are or were pro football players. The groom used to be pro but now coaches college football. How cool is that? And I gotta say, I felt very safe with these boys. :)


My fav image from the first look.


We then headed to Laguna Beach for the romantics.








Check out this sunset! I love California.


I totally want a huge print of this in my room... so I can see God's beautiful creation every day and not take anything for granted. And the guy on the bottom left makes this picture that much more symbolic.


And just to prove I'm not lying, here's the image zoomed in at 100%. Does anybody know what that sport is called? It's like you're walking on water. Must be an amazing feeling.


And after the beach the ceremony and reception was held at Tivoli Too in Laguna Beach. Love these moments right before the ceremony.


And I leave you with my fav shot of the day. Just love the Christmas-y feeling this image has.


Happy 1st Monday of 2010 everyone!!!
