Sarah K Chen Photography Blog bio picture

Welcome to my Blog!

If I love doing something, there’s nothing in the world that will stop me from doing it. Case in point: I grew up drawing on the walls of my house, much to the chagrin of my parents, who had to repaint the interior before they could sell it. Though I no longer use crayons to express myself, I still have that passion today for creating beautiful images.

 

I now use a camera to capture what would otherwise be fleeting moments between two people sharing in the excitement of beginning a new life together. There is little else that can evoke such strong emotion and bring back cherished memories as a well-composed photo, and I aim to capture just that with each one I take. I want my images to hold a special place in your heart for years to come.

 

I feel honored to be present at such a significant time in my clients’ lives and hope you’ll invite me to become part of yours, too.

Angela & Derek’s Wedding at Estancia La Jolla, Ca

Angela and Derek’s wedding was held at the beautiful Estancia La Jolla on a perfect summer day. We had blue skies, bright colors, and a mix of modern and old world backdrops to shoot against. It all made for such a gorgeous day!

Angela’s sweet father gifted his daughter with this sparkly Van Cleef and Arpels flower ring which she wore on her right hand.

Angela gifted each of her bridesmaids with a different Tiffany’s necklace.

I love how simple yet dramatic Angela’s wedding gown was. It was stunning on her frame.

And while the girls were getting ready, Jeret got this of the guys. I sort of love how it contrasts with what all the girls have to go through the morning of their wedding day.

Then we set up Angela and Derek’s first look moment and I love the genuine happiness shared between them.

How cute is it that the ringbearer’s suit jacket comes down to his knees? And the flower girl’s dress and yellow flats were so chic!

And the happy new Mr. and Mrs!

After the ceremony we had some more time to wander the beautiful grounds of Estancia La Jolla and take some more romantic portraits of these two!
