Hi, I’m Thien Lai (TEE-an),
When it all comes down to it, finding the right photographer for you is all about trust. I think you want to trust that they will document everything that you are looking to capture, do it beautifully, and make the experience enjoyable. That is everyone I aim to do.
Many brides ask me if I have any suggestions or advice for their wedding day. I usually tell them that this day is about you two. Make every part of your wedding day be about your genuine commitment together. Be authentic and present as possible and your guests will feel it. Your decisions of which dress, venue, or any thing else is just the icing on top.
Professional Experience
I have over two decades of experience as a professional photographer. I have capture hundreds of weddings and additionally countless assignments from documentary work, non-profit work, and commercial advertising across the United states and travels abroad.
I have high standards for my work as a professional wedding photographer. I want provide you with a professional service that does not keep you guessing and with images that you will be satisfied with.
Minimalistic Approach
I have adopted a minimalistic approach to photography and often times find myself choosing a single camera that I love and two prime lenses full of character. I love vintage and retro cameras. I started on film and I have been chasing that classic film look all my life. I’ve owned almost every camera brand and I love them all. If you want a classic Leica look, or the beautiful skin tones from Canon, we can make it happen.
About Me
If you were to ask my children what do I love most in life, they would probably answer Jesus, my wife, my children, cameras, the church and nature.
You could probably find me any given day playing in a river or lake with my family or church family with a camera around my neck.
I desire to be like Jesus, loving and caring for people, humbly emptying out himself for us and living sacrificially. I want to live like that daily for my family and for everyone that I get to meet.
