Pasadena Engagement Session | Connie and Anek!

Timon and Liz Wang — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 18:21:51 +0000

When I met Connie and Anek for the first time at Jameson Coffee in Pasadena, after chatting about their wedding details, they confided to me how they were a little nervous about taking pictures together. Ok, they were really apprehensive. As Connie shared it, they had never really taken pictures as a couple, were nervous about interacting on camera, and thought they would look stiff. After we talked a little about how I like to shoot, and assured them they would be awesome, we started planning a little, and I think we all left that coffee shop pretty excited about our shoot. When I told Connie and Anek they would be amazing, I meant it. These two inspired me from the beginning because they really put their trust in me to make their first session a memorable one, and I’m thankful that they did.

Pasadena Engagement Session | Cecilia and Tony

Timon and Liz Wang — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 20:08:46 +0000

Hi blogworld, it’s Timon! I’m so excited to post this session.

Cecilia and Tony were so fabulous to work with on this engagement session. From our first meeting, I was so encouraged by Cecilia’s trusting and enthusiastic attitude, and how she was so committed to getting images that they would love. After Ceci told me about their vintage wedding theme, I had the perfect spot for their engagement session! They totally embraced the idea and decided to settle for nothing less than the best. As we started to throw out ideas, I became more and more inspired as Ceci and Tony ran with those ideas and made them their own. This is a wedding that I’m really looking forward to! I can’t wait to see their thoughtfulness and creativity come together in one amazing day. Here’s their e-session reveal…

Old Town Pasadena Engagement Session | Beth and Ricky

Timon Wang — Thu, 08 Sep 2011 19:12:05 +0000

When I met Beth and Ricky on the phone, the first thing that hit me was that they knew how perfect they were for each other. High school sweethearts. Constant companions. Culminating in a wedding that was not only a celebration of the future, but a celebration of every experience that brought them to this point. Beth told me that much of what she had become and experienced was because Ricky was always willing to try new things and to take risks. Ricky quickly pointed out how Beth keeps him sane and organized, and how difficult life would be without her. When we met for the first time on the day of their shoot, I saw something else there- a passion that could only be cultivated by experiencing life together with your best friend.

We started on a sunny, hot day in south Pasadena, then finished our day off in the cool twilight of beautiful Pasadena City Hall. I hope you love these images as much as I enjoy telling their story. Below are a few favs, with much more in the slideshow below! ~Timon

Santa Monica Engagement Session | Agata and Kevin

Timon and Liz Wang — Thu, 12 May 2011 00:17:00 +0000

I seem to meet more and more couples now who tell me that they met through an online dating site. Agata and Kevin, on the other hand, met online via…get this- a photo group at Flickr! Who would’ve guessed that for these two, an honest but sweet photo critique would turn into the beginning of something much bigger.

If you’re wondering how in the world we ended up at a waterfall, let’s just say that Kevin and Agata are definitely outdoorsy, fit to say the least, and not at all scared of a “little” hike. (They did Half Dome.) They like rocks and water, so with all gear tucked away into bags, we hiked, scaled, and climbed our way in to this:

After we hit the destination, we scurried on back out quickly to catch the remaining light left of the day.

Timon and I both really like this one. I love grassy knolls!

I love how they were able to be themselves in front of the camera, even though they’re the ones usually behind the camera snapping away.

This chopper came to our rescue once we realized we stayed out too late in the trails. J/K… it was just cool how it flew so close to us and Kevin and Agata were enthralled so we snapped some shots.

This little green buddy has a special meaning to the two…so they brought him along

Kevin is THE man…

I leave you with one last photo. Looking forward to their 7/3/11 wedding at the Annenberg Community Beach House! Two days before our own 8th anniversary! How time flies…

USC Engagement Session | Mona and Phil

Timon and Liz Wang — Sat, 16 Apr 2011 04:15:07 +0000

Mona and Phil’s e-session was taken at the beautiful campus, USC! Although I’m a Bruin myself, I would tag along to shoot there again anytime. :)

Photographer: Timon Wang
Assistant Photography and Design: Liz (Me)
Hair and Makeup (I loved it): Angelina Tam

Mona’s polka dot dress was so dang cute.

I hope I’m allowed to LOVE this:

We just can’t ever resist some sunflare:

Timon loved this shot. I do too…so sweet, with the water feature and all. (Maybe it’s the kid in me…but now I can’t stop wondering… has anyone ever dropped their backpack in the water before? After all these years someone must have..!?)

Sweet:

Passionate:

We actually started the day here. USC’s campus is so pretty! I never knew. :)

Phil and Mona chose this for the wedding reception enlargement:

When the sun runs out, it’s time for Night Photography!

One of our favorites.

The next 3 photos were the last 3 photos of the day and a bit of an experiment. I’m curious…out of pure preference, which one do you like best? Mona and Phil’s favorite was the first one… and also the last one. Mine was the 2nd one, for reasons of the graphic designer in me.
