Generation Photography

Wow, 10 years ago, was when Rita and I went on our first date. We were in highschool at the time, first boyfriend, first girlfriend. It was ever so sweet. It’s hard to believe that we have been together for 10 years already. I’m so glad that we found each other and that we’ve experienced a large part of our lives together. I don’t think life would be the same and I would be a different person than I am today. I’m so excited about the future and what’s in store for us!

We celebrated with a night at the beautiful Shangri-La Hotel. Here’s us before we headed out for dinner!

Took a visit to San Francisco for a quick couple of days while my family came over to Vancouver! It’s my first time there and I really enjoyed the city. The architecture of the buildings there are so beautiful. I wish we have more of these in Vancouver. We also made a visit down to Napa Valley to visit a couple wineries.

Here is me and my sister. I’m not that heavy, really.

Union square, the headquarters of anything shopping!

Here’s me driving down the Oakland bridge (Sister bridge to the Golden Gate)

Me and my sister riding the tram. For the full experience, you have ride it standing, otherwise it doesn’t count! +Points if you are like me one-handing it with a camera in the other hand.

I found this very funky mirror (albeit a bit dirty) that reflects back at a different angle. I took this one straight on.

Found this on one of my walks around the city. Too bad I didn’t plan it, or I would’ve tried finding the “Full House” house!

Here are some shots of our new studio! There are two main areas. One is a gallery of our work from the past years. Then there is our fresh wall, where we put our work from our latest wedding or portrait shoot. The second area is our meeting space, where we can watch slideshows, view some albums, or just relax, chat and have a glass of wine. The space is also modular, so we can also do some studio work here as well! We are very proud of it and we can’t wait to share the space with you!

We’ve recently moved into our new building at 402 West Pender Street. We love it to bits! It is an older building built in 1912. And it has all those architecture flare that we love. I don’t know the technical terms, but we’ve highlighted some of our favorites below! There is even an architect firm on the ground floor!

The lobby is very cute too with cool interior decor and moldings. There is a door from a bank vault on display and is quite neat to see the inner workings of it. And the best part is that there is a send mail delivery chute from the original building that still works. It connects to every floor of the building. And if you throw some mail in, you will see it fly down through the glass window!

We are very excited to unveil our new studio space in the heart of downtown Vancouver! We have totally transformed the space and we are totally in love with it. In celebration, we are inviting everyone to come down and check it out!

There will be plenty of drinks and snacks! We’re starting at 7:00pm and it will go until whenever!
