Soowon Galbi :: Los Angeles

Back in January, a friend hired me to photograph a few items on their restaurant's menu. At first I was a little hesitant since I'm a wedding photographer. But I decided to take on the task to help a friend out.

Besides the fact that Korean food is healthy and delicious, it's pretty amazing to see that Korean bbq has become widely popular.

So if you're looking for a new place to try out, head on over to LA and check out Soowon Galbi. Click on the link to check out the reviews on Yelp, for all you Yelp lovers.

Location: 856 S Vermont Ave

But like all places in LA, parking is limited. Soowon has valet for a couple bucks. But you can always try to find street parking. :)

And BTW. I got to eat ALL of the things I photographed and it makes me drool just looking at these pictures.



This is Yuk hwae. It's a dish of minced raw beef served with pears. Don't knock it till you try it. It's actually pretty good.


Yum.


Tofu soybean paste soup and bulgogi (thin slices of marinated meat).


Black cod fish with vegetables.


Kimchee!


One thing I LOVE about Korean food. Banchan (small dishes of food).


Mul naeng-myeon (cold noodles in beef broth) and hwe neng myun (spicy cold noodes).


Meat combination at Soowon.


Have a great rest of the week. :)

The Lee Family :: Fullerton |portrait|

On Wednesday, I met my cousin and his family at the Fullerton Arboretum for a family session.

Here are a few of my favorites. :)


This picture stands out every time I see it. It makes me feel nostalgic... as if I'm looking at a picture of myself that was taken 20 years ago. I know it sounds crazy, but it reminds me of my childhood.

Isn't he adorable?


LOL. They were so cute in their matching argyle sweaters. My favorite kind of sweater.






:)


I absolutely love this picture. It's completely candid and so real. What is it with boys and sticks?




Dandelions! If you look closely, you can actually see a few seeds mid-air. Gotta say, one of my
top favorites.


The Lee Family.




I love this shot of my cousin and his wife.




:)))))) Seriously so cute. She has such a beautiful smile.


Daddy's turn. lol.


So cute. He got upset because he wasn't giving mommy enough kisses. True story. :)












Thanks guys! I had a blast. And it was great seeing you guys. Hope you had fun at Disneyland!

1 of many Hump Days :)

I just got back from a family session and wanted to post up a little teaser.

LOLOLOL.



Happy Hump Day.

Long Beach Wedding Photography

This past Saturday, I shot as a 2nd at The Reef in Long Beach.

Here are some of my favorites.















I love this picture. That is the bride's mom watching her daughter put her garter on.


The view from their ceremony.




The groom!


Isn't this the CUTEST little girl you've ever seen? She is seriously so adorable.










Exchanging rings.




I think it is amazing that the bride has both sets of grandparents! Seriously! Both my grandfathers passed away before I was even born. And for Becca to have 2 grandfathers and 2 grandmothers! That is seriously such an awesome blessing. So cute how Grandpa wanted to see Becca's ring.



Guess how long these two have been married? 66 years!!! Isn't that crazy? They got married
at 19!

:))))))))))) After the wedding, I gave grandpa and grandma a hug and grandma gave me a kiss! :)
They LOVED me. LOL.






During the reception, the longest married couple had to give some advice to the newly married
couple.

Grandma: Communication is key. Make sure to always talk to each other.
Grandpa: We got married early.

Hahahahahaha. I love how humor gets better with age.
