Nuong and Hao’s Wedding

Patrick — Mon, 10 May 2010 20:04:30 +0000

Finally had a chance to finalize a few things for Nuong and Hao’s wedding. Its a great big family with BIG love. This was the first FAMILY wedding that I have shot and I’m proud and honored that I was there! Special thanks goes out to stephen, the second shooter for the event. It was a long day, but it was worth it!

We made a Dvd for the family of these slide shows, but this is for the “on the go” tech savvy relatives!!! You know who you are!

*Please note that the (HQ) button next to the volume is for the high definition version, and there is a FULL SCREEN option in the corner.

The entire event is finalized and approved… Located HERE.

Chicago Trash the Dress (TTD) 04/18/10

Patrick — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 05:22:31 +0000

I had a chance to meet some great photographers on the last meeting of the Chicago TTD group last sunday. I wanted to thank @MelissaDiep for getting the whole group together!!! It was fun to shoot in a group again. I haven’t done that in a while and I hope to be doing more of it! Even though I lived around Bunker Hill Park Preserve like all my life, I never realized all the photo opportunities that existed there! Major Win for the group meet… Major FAIL for us getting kicked out because of a permit!

Please enjoy some of my fav pics of the day!!!

Maysa and Jeremiah Wedding Preview

Patrick — Thu, 25 Mar 2010 01:50:22 +0000

Here are a few shots from Maysa and Jeremiah’s wedding. It was a chilly day but that didn’t keep these two from the altar! We started out at Alice Milar in Evanston and ended up at Manzo’s in Des plaines. I was so glad to be part of their special day! Here are a few previews of the day.

Congrats you two!!! You make a lovely couple!!!

Stained Glass was such a great backdrop!

One of my Favorite Shots!!!

We had fun with the piano!!!

Fun with the Micro PRO LED!!!

NEW blog!

Patrick — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 04:55:05 +0000

Thanks for visiting again! I have finally updated the blog site to WordPress and I am soo happy with it. I used moveable type and was so disappointed with the interface!!!

Ill be posting more often because of this, so please keep an eye out!!! Ill leave you with a cute picture of my son… I know, not really wedding related, but I always wanted to play with the wireless strobes to light up a car… In this case — lightning McQueen!!

I used 2 off camera flash (one under the car and on the side, Mcqueen didn’t like the catch light too much and the plastic frame was a little too thin so the red got to his face)

1 MicroPro LED for the hair line light (Just to see how i’d look)

I had a few better pics, but the model was a little fussy!!! I still LOVE the outcome!

Maysa and Jeremiah— Engaged!

Patrick — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 07:28:40 +0000

I just love referrals! I met Maysa and Jeremiah from Mychau’s wedding. Maysa is Yotin’s cousin and is busy finishing school off and planning a wedding! Congrats to the future newlyweds! We ventured out the the Morton Arboretum on a chilly October morning to find a wonderful day full of color and life! Amazingly on that day, the weather didn’t keep nature lovers from flocking to the garden to see and feel the last remnants of fall!

Rest of the pics are here.

MyChau and Yotin Wedding Slide show

Patrick — Sat, 12 Dec 2009 06:00:12 +0000

The wait is OVER! The MyChau and Yotin slide show is officially done. The day was planned so well and the photographs came out so good that it was hard to break it down to the 100+ pictures that actually made it to the final cut of the movie! Congrats to both of them as they begin this journey together. I am proud to say I was there when they started to date and was there to witness their union! They look so natural together and I was happy that they chose Patrick Louie Photography to document the day!

The rest of the photos are in the gallery… Currently it is locked until the bride and groom can look thru it. Check back in a few days when I get the ok from them!!!

We have already completed a rough draft of their wedding book and I cant wait to finish that as well. We will post the final as it is done! Can’t wait!
