Wow! I can remember the first time I shot a wedding vividly. Far (Sacramento), long (14 hours), free (didn't want the pressure of getting paid) and hot (100+ degrees). However, the smothering heat in Sacramento did not derail my excitement for a potential new career.  Well, it's nearly 100 degrees today and I want to share the excitement of receiving my first award as The 2010 Best of Silicon Valley Wedding Photographer. I really had no idea until someone contacted me after reading the Newspaper.  I'm truly thrilled and honored to be recognized by this award since the Mercury News has one of the strongest circulations in the Bay Area (readership numbers average 200,000 daily).

After several years of hard work, my love for wedding photography grows even stronger. This award not only reinforces my passion for my profession, but also encourages me to do even better and continue to maintain my creative excellence. Thank you to everyone who voted for me. I really appreciate your support.
