Engagement Photos at the Snowy Mt. Hood

(Stephen Cheng Photography) — Thu, 01 Feb 2018 18:34:43 GMT

Stephanie and Chase chosen their photo session at Mt. Hood. They were willing to go freeze under the falling snow and trusted me with my location advice. We started photo shooting at the national historic landmark, Timberline Lodge. It was windy and cold, but photo shooting in the snow was a lot of fun. I love the beautiful soft light reflected from the bright snow. It was too windy, and we had to move to another location at lower elevation. There was a lot of snow coming down at almost the end of the session. It was amazing!!!

Thank you Stephanie and Chase for a fun session, and you were an awsome couple. I can’t wait to document your wedding for you!

Here is a sneak peek of their photos..

Franciscan Garden & Mission San Juan Capistrano Wedding – Ana & Cesar

(Stephen Cheng Photography) — Mon, 15 May 2017 07:30:00 GMT

What can I say about Ana and Cesar’s wedding? Elegant, Spanish, party-fun, detailed, detailed and detailed. Ana and Cesar had their wedding at the beautiful Franciscan Garden, San Juan Capistrano. Everything in their wedding had that elegant Spanish style in them, including Ana’s wedding gown, invitation, letterpress program, name card, music, etc…Each center piece was set up in a different antique vase and tray. Their “candy bar” were filled with the Mexican sweets. It was my first time trying De La Rosa Mazapan, which tasted amazingly good!!! Ana and Cesar put everything together to make the wedding very unique and beautiful…Ana and Cesar were super easy going and great to work with. It was a big honored to be part of their wedding!!

SYDNEY & JOHN’S WEDDING – THE CHURCH OF OUR SAVIOUR

(Stephen Cheng Photography) — Tue, 14 Mar 2017 16:08:00 GMT

Sydney and John made themselves a really beautiful and fun wedding. They had not only casino games for adults, but also game table for kids as well. They even hired professional Swing Dancers to give all the guests a Swing Dance lesson. You can tell how much they care about their family and friends and made sure that they all had fun on their big day. I’m sure all the guests had a wonderful time… including me.

Hillcrest Terrace Fullerton Wedding – Christine & Achilles

(Stephen Cheng Photography) — Tue, 28 Feb 2017 09:00:00 GMT

What is the best part of a wedding? For me, it’s all about family, friends, and fun. Christine had her wedding at the Hillcrest Park, which is a perfect location for outdoor wedding. The beautiful ceremony was under a big oak tree in the park, and the reception was hosted at Hillcrest Terrace. The couple’s wedding was fun to the adults as well as the kids. There was a playground for kids to hang out, run and having fun. It was a beautiful night, and everyone had fun dancing under the full moon. I had a great time shooting the wedding, too.

Christine & Andrew’s Engagement Session – Crystal Cove

(Stephen Cheng Photography) — Fri, 28 Oct 2016 05:59:57 GMT

It has been busy lately and many photos that I like have not been posted on the blog, I’ll start posting more..I did Christine and Andrew’s Engagement Session couple months ago at the beautiful Crystal Cove. Different than other beach side, Crystal Cove is a permitted beach, it’s peaceful with less people… It was not crowded at all at the location that we picked, so we took our time to walk on the shore and I got some favor beach shots…Christine and Andrew are really easy going and fun couple, it was really relaxing shooting with them. I am looking forward to seeing them again next year at their wedding!!

Nicole & Daniel’s Wedding – Tiburon & Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco

(Stephen Cheng Photography) — Mon, 05 Sep 2016 07:30:00 GMT

Nicole and Daniel had their wedding at Tiburon few weeks ago. Because we wanted to have a shot of the Golden Gate Bridge, they drove around and did some location scouting during weekends before the wedding day…..and they found this prefect spot. It took us about 30 mins to get to the location, and we had some good shots with the Golden Gate Bridge and city view as background!!! Thanks for finding this perfect spot, Nicole and Daniel!

Summit House Fullerton Wedding – Stephanie & Wesley

(Stephen Cheng Photography) — Wed, 20 Jul 2016 14:27:53 GMT

Five years ago, Lynn and I got married at Summit House…Five years later, same day and same place, but my role has been changed from groom to the photographer..
I love Summit House. This place is beautiful and cozy. The wedding gazebo is right next to the reception ballroom, which allows us to have more time for the photo session. The meadow behind the restaurant is also excellent for photo shooting. Every year, Lynn and I would go back to the Summit House for our anniversary, and it has been our tradition now, and we will keep doing that.

Ally & Michael’s Engagement Session – Irvine Regional Park

(Stephen Cheng Photography) — Thu, 30 Jun 2016 07:45:00 GMT

Ally and Michael had their wedding at Mariners Church, Irvine. When they were choosing the engagement session location, they wanted something with nature scenes. Therefore, we decided to have their photo shoot at Irvine Regional Park, which was not far from my place…It was a fun afternoon without many people in the park. One photo you’ll see with fog behind them… that was not fog, It was the smoke coming out from someone’s BBQ…and I love that shot!!!

Christine & Achilles’ Engagement Photo Session – Laguna Niguel Regional Park

(Stephen Cheng Photography) — Thu, 07 Apr 2016 08:00:00 GMT

Christine is a very nice and sweet lady. I remember the first time I met her was the day that my wife, Lynn, was about to deliver the baby, and Christine told me to take my time and take care of my family first then deal with her later…couple weeks later, she booked me for her wedding…Christine picked the Laguna Niguel Regional Park for the photo shooting, and she even drew me a map to show me some good ideas for the shooting spots. On the shooting day, we had their little boy Elijah join us. He was more like my little assistant… He was very cute and awesome!!! I think the photos turned out great, and the images reflected the couple’s lifestyle well..

Family Camping for the First Time – The Best Father’s Day

(Stephen Cheng Photography) — Thu, 14 Nov 2013 07:15:00 GMT

I have always wanted to take my kids to camping, so we went to The Angeles Nation Forest for two nights on Father’s day. We were lucky to find this beautiful site in the forest with an Bear-Saver on the site, so we didn’t need to worry about our food being stolen by a bear like what happened last time. It was nice without phone calls and emails for a couple of days. We will definitely take our boys out more often.

Padua Hills Theatre, Claremont – Jenn & Sean’s Wedding

Jenn and Sean had their wedding at Padua Hills theater, which was my first time there. It was a beautiful place for outdoor ceremony, and the lighting in the ballroom was just stunning. One thing that I’d like to mention is that their floweriest also did my wedding seven years ago and turned out the owner Janet was Sean’s aunt, who always does wonderful job. What a small world! Jenn and Sean are down to earth, and I can’t wait to see them against their cousin’s wedding.

CSULB Japanese Garden Long Beach Wedding – Diane & Jim

(Stephen Cheng Photography) — Fri, 15 Jun 2012 07:00:00 GMT

Diane and Jim had their wedding at the Japanese Garden at CSU Long Beach. Photo shooting the wedding at the Japanese Garden was very meaningful to me because I graduated from CSULB, and one of the design projects that I did was using the garden as a theme. Therefore, I’m very familiar with this place. The ceremony was on the unique and beautiful arched bridge. The challenge was to find the right spot for the right angle to catch the moment, and I think the images turned out great. For the reception, the tables were set up around the Koi pond, and the lighting was beautiful at night. I love this wedding and the stunning Garden 🙂 If you’d like to have a beautiful outdoor wedding, the garden is a good choice.

(Stephen Cheng Photography) — Tue, 15 May 2012 07:00:00 GMT

Christine and Andrew are super sweet and easygoing. Christine was getting ready at the St. Regis Monarch Beach, so we started photo shooting the girls at the beautiful resort. They had the ceremony and reception at the Coto de Caza Golf and Racquet Club, and it was my first time photo shooting there. The club house was surrounded with beautiful pond with a small waterfall. I’d like to share some happy moments on their big day with you 🙂

YULI & WILL’S ENGAGEMENT PHOTO SESSION – Aquarium of the Pacific & Queen Mary, Long Beach

(Stephen Cheng Photography) — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 07:15:00 GMT

It’s always fun to shoot engagement photos at the places that are special and meaningful to the couples. For Yuli and Will, It’s the Aquarium of the Pacific, Long Beach…
Yuli is the member of the aquarium, and she made arrangement with them for the photo shooting, so we had chance to photo shoot with “Parker,” the Sea Lion. Parker was easy to work with and he had been very cooperative. We then went to Queen Mary for more photo shooting. It was a fun afternoon photo shooting with them!! Nice job on choosing locations, Yuli!!

St. Regis Monarch Beach & Seven Degrees Laguna Beach Wedding – Lina & Jeff

(Stephen Cheng Photography) — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 08:30:00 GMT

This was the most meaningful wedding for me last year. Lina & Jeff got married, and they are not only my good friends but also my son Landon’s Godparents. Lina spent a lot of time to prepare the big day, and Jeff was very supportive. They got ready at St. Regis, Monarch Beach, so we had the “first look moment” there. After that, we had some photos taken at the beautiful resort. They had the ceremony and reception followed up at Seven Degrees, Laguna Beach. The wedding was on schedule as planned. My son, Landon, was supposed to be the ring bearer, but when the big moment arrived, Landon was in a tantrum (He was 20 months old)…so, we had to give up letting him walk down the aisle as the ring bearer 😦 I guess this will be the unforgettable story that we talk about all the time when he gets older…
We’ve always known that Lina and Jeff are the perfect match. Lina, when you are ready for the maternity photo session, I am always here 😀

This is a very special photo session to me. Lina and Jeff are not only my good friends, but also my son, Landon’s Godparents…I have always known that they are a prefect-matched couple, and finally the day has come…they are engaged!!! Disneyland is a memorable place to them, so we had their engagement photo session there. It was a fun weekend afternoon…we were walking around, taking rides, and taking some photos. Their wedding will be at the beautiful 7 Degree in Laguna Beach, and Landon will be the Ring Bearer. So, you are going to see my cute little boy in their wedding photos 🙂 Cannot wait for their big day to come, I am so very happy for them!!

I have been spending a lot of time with my baby Landon and have not updated my blog for a while….I am going to post few weddings that I have been worked on.

Linda and Norman had their wedding at The Langham hotel, and they had their ceremony at the Japanese Garden. They exchanged vows on the Japanese wooden bridge. It was a nice season and all the pear blossom flower were blossomed in the courtyard. Beautiful wedding…

Teresa & Matt’s Engagement Session

(Stephen Cheng Photography) — Mon, 28 Feb 2011 09:00:00 GMT

Teresa is my old friend form CSULB. She is a great designer. We had the photo session in Santa Monica area, and it was a foggy afternoon. The first shooting location was few blocks away from their home…and we were worrying about the heavy fog. Luckily, the sun came out when we went to the beachside…and the work turned out to be good. It was the second time I met Matt. He showed me his video work, and he is very talented. The couple is a perfect match, and I am excited to shoot their wedding photos.
