AMARISSE // SEOUL, KOREA FASHION PHOTOGRAPHER

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and wonderful holiday season! Just stuffed ourselves on an amazing turkey dinner, courtesy of my friend David Kim. Here's a quick preview of a shoot with Amarisse we did a few weeks ago in an abandoned Alice in Wonderland theme park. More on that in the New Year.. ^^

MARY SOO + ROSS // FLASH MOB WEDDING PROPOSAL



He and Mary Soo are good friends who modeled for my workshop with Fer Juaristi a few months ago here in Seoul.  When Ross mentioned that he was planning to propose to Mary Soo after a flash mob dance, I knew it would be a really special moment to document for them.  The first few frames are from the final rehearsal, moments before Mary Soo walked through the park in Hongdae with Kim, our sneaky spy.  Ross started the music and began his dance; Mary Soo turned around and didn't realize it was him, and she began dancing along.  Moments later, she recognized his brown dress shoes as friends poured into the park taking their places.  It went off without a hitch, and a film crew from a local comedy troupe interviewed them after she said yes.

MY FAMILY  //  FIRST YEAR IN KOREA


I am grateful for my wife, Jenny, whose love saves me everyday; without whom I would have been lost to darkness long ago; without whom I simply feel lost.  For my eldest, Justin (Juju), whose fearlessness inspires; whose love is redemptive and forgiving; whose wonder reminds me to be a child sometimes. For little Joel (Joely), whose smile makes me swoon; whose laugh makes me melt; whose curiosity reminds me to slow down.
