UNIQUE LA / Spring 2010

Came out to support the numerous talented artists and our super talented letterpress queen Tianyi of Tiselle Letterpress + Design at the 2nd Annual Unique LA Spring Show. This is such a fun way to experience some of LA's most gifted artists and rare finds all under one roof. The show was held on the penthouse floor at the California Fashion Mart Building in Downtown LA. We wish we had more time even though we have spent four hours here...yikes! Highlight of the day was doing the photoshoot with Tiselle by Oh Snap Studios. Another highlight was when I finally found an original issue LP of Herbie Hancock's funky ass 70's era electro jazz album on vinyl titled Head Hunter at the Amoeba Music booth...wooooo hooooo! Amoeba is one of my favorite LA music store, they have everything under the sun folks. I've been searching for this bad boy for the last 6 years and man it is in prime condition! So peeps if you have not had a chance to check out Unique LA, please do. They have a spring and fall show annually.

Bridges To Exploration

On March 27th Holly Rindge from Bridges To Exploration commissioned Steven Lam Photography to capture their Sea Creature Safari marine trip in Long Beach. We had so much fun shooting these kids on a 90 minutes marine expedition which were all winners of the non-profit organization's 1st Annual Youth Environmental Contest. We are honored to be a part of this wonderful educational program and we are so happy to see that two local online news sources (Gazettes.com and The Reader Page) featured BTE's fun and educational marine exploration field trip. Thank you Holly for such a fun photo shoot assignment.

Thank You 2X

Wow, today we received two nifty props from two of our wedding couples. One we will be shooting this year and the other we shot a couple of years ago. The above ink note was from our client Maki. We love Maki's super expressive and detailed happy face and quote bubble. Maki's detail hand drawn note was done on our contract page and we are ecstatic that Maki is as excited as we are. The Facebook note was from the infamous international award winning commercial photographer Brown Cannon. Brown's body of work is simply amazing and purely spectacular. Brown has traveled the world to capture some of the most stunning portraits and travel imagery. We had the pleasure of shooting Brown's beautiful and intimate destination wedding in Oahu. We feel very blessed and humble for Brown to entrust our studio to capture his wedding. Thank you guys for such lovely notes. This is why we love our job. We have the best clientele in the world. They are kind, sincere and super talented. Notes like this inspire us to continue creating beautiful lifestyle wedding images by listening to our heart and soul rather than following the trendy status quo.
