ello! And welcome to the new home of the JSP blog! Thank you SO much for taking the time to visit! We hope you take the time to wander around, explore, and discover the little parts of the site we have sprinkled here and there to hopefully make your stay on this site fun and wonderful :) As always, please do leave us your wonderful and warm comments to help each post from the oven feel loved! You have no idea just HOW much it makes my day to read your beautiful words! :D If you're shy, you can still press that nifty little 'like' button beneath each post to still leave your mark, but stay behind the scenes. That would make me really happy too!! (or do both, and be my new best friend! haha :P ) 
 
So off you go....meander through the pages! And I hope you love what you see and find! :D

ps: This post is a pinned post, so this will remain up here above any new posts. So if you are a regular visitor here, please scroll down past this post for any new blog posts :)

WARNING. VERY VERY VERRRRYYYYY LONG post ahead.  
 
I've heard all the rules about blog post length, reader attention spans on the web, iPad and iPhone viewing limits per page, and overrunning layouts in terms of graphic design. Well, this blog post goes against ALL those rules. Not because I don't care. But more so, because: 
1) SO MANY of you have requested the blog post for this wedding, and the sheer excess of images is to say thank you for waiting so patiently. 
2) I just couldn't cut this story shorter. In doing so, it would have left out so many elements that we felt were so special to all the seen and unseen moments of the day.  
 
So, without further ado, I'm re-introducing Sonia and Andy. Remember these two? Their engagement session was shot here :) And if you recall, Sonia is half of musical sensation, Jayesslee (the other half is her twin sister, Janice), and her man that you see here, Andy, is their drummer and manager. Now, I could give you a wikipedia-like spill on all their details, what an insanely talented duo they are, and how they are seriously taking the world by storm. But I wont. Their facebook page, their youtube page, and their website will tell you all that.  
 
I'm here to share with you, a really special day that I got to step into, immerse in, and preserve forever in images. And more importantly, share about just how beautiful these two souls are. People think I say this about every couple, but these two have seriously left a footprint on my heart. They inspire me with their passion for Jesus and making him known through their music, they encourage me with their incredible humility, and just by witnessing their lives, family and friends for a day I have been touched by their genuine love and generosity towards those around them.  
 
Andy and Sonia. What can I say? I love you guys to bits!! I mean that from the bottom of my heart. I can't thank you enough for trusting me to tell the story of your day... David and I left your wedding saying that the rest of 2012 has such BIG shoes to fill as you have started off our season in such an immense way. You both are more than clients... rather, sweet friends that I'm so incredibly honored to know. I hope these photos do some sort of justice and find a small place in your heart to treasure for the rest of your days. May God continue to use you mightily in His great and wondrous plans, and I pray that your marriage is filled with an immeasurable abundance of love, happiness, and growth in our Father :) 
 
Much much love 
xoxoxoxo 
 
 
ps: Just a shoutout to my AMAZING, OUT-OF-THIS-WORLD team - Vincy and David. David, thank you for shooting along side me. Your eyes and what they manage to always see is incredible. Any bride who has worked with us will know what a gem you are on the day :) And to Vincy, who captured the video footage (which you will see in the slideshow at the end of this post), thank you for your hard word, and the beautiful footage you got. For someone who doubles up as photographer, videographer, and our Studio Manager. You are super woman!! Love u both!! 
 
***UPDATE!!*** Just a last side note. Thank you to everyone who has been sharing our images. We just ask that if you want to share/use the photos (and please do share - we love you for it!!) to PLEASE 1) not crop out our watermark logo and 2) to pretty please credit Jenny Sun or Jenny Sun Photography for them. My team has worked ridiculously hard on these images for Sonia and Andy, and for all of you to enjoy, so little things like this mean the WORLD to small artists like ourselves and go a long way. Thank you thank you thank youuuuuuu!!!

So, I started off with the girls! :D

David was with the boys getting ready, and got the below shots :D

A very special moment. It was spoken in korean so I didn't understand what was said, but I believe it was a heartfelt thank you/tribute to their parents.

I love this moment where Janice dedicates a special song performance to Sonia and Andy. I won't say what song, but lets just say it was sweet, beautiful and so well covered :)

Speeches.

I LOVE this moment. I had a lump in my throat as I heard Andy give his speech. You just had to be there to understand the weight of it. Let's just say, God answers prayers and performs miracles.

These last photos are dedicated to Sonia's well known love for fairylights :) Kind of reminds me of the rotunda where Bella and Edward had their first dance in the very first Twilight movie.

To end, this last compilation is of their whole wedding with music, AND some special video footage (link to the video is here on vimeo in case you can't view it via RSS) ! It's my first time working on a fusion slideshow ON MY OWN (our usual video peeps were not with us on the day), so this took forever. I KNOWW the footage isn't perfect, but for my first attempt, I'm happy I didn't drop the camera or throw a brick at iMovie trying to finish it hehehe... Do press play, we know it's long, but we promise you its worth it! :D 
 
 
 
Lastly, for those who have asked, the music used in the above slideshow video is listed below. PLEASE support these amazing artists by purchasing their music (and not rip it off the internet) - they have worked hard to produce what you are enjoying to listen, and are well worth your $0.99 on iTunes :) 
 
1) Waiting Here For You - By Christy Nockels (Purchase song here: http://bit.ly/JULEHH ) 
2) Turning Page - By Sleeping At Last (Purchase song here: http://bit.ly/JauCKa ) 
3) So In Love - By The Icarus Account (Purchase song here: http://bit.ly/JauxWV ) 
 

ey everyone! Sorry I've been MIA. It was my birthday yesterday, and as such, I've declared it birthday WEEK at JSP, meaning I've been off :) That said, I know alot of you have been waiting for a blog update (sorry it isn't the one you've been waiting for, but that will be up as soon as we can. you can see the sneak peek of it here). Anyhow, for now, enjoy this mini blog of a quick session that was whipped up in San Francisco of another photographer I met while I was there :)  
 
Californian light... I *heart* you so much :)  
 
Thank you so much Amanda! It was delightful to meet you!! :D

wasn't really paying attention, but CNN was making some ramble about how the moon would appear larger than it normally does, and it would happen tonight or something along those lines. I find it hard to concentrate once a whole lot of scientific jargon gets thrown across in my direction... all I heard was moon, larger, tonight. So I had to go and see.  
 
Has anyone else seen the moon tonight?  
 
It really does look incredible. I have this fascination with almost all things in the sky, and while my husband doesn't share the same enthusiasm, we all agreed that tonight, the moon was unusually large, full, and very clear. Beautiful in fact. Just like anything else from God's creation.  
 
So, I snapped. Preserved that slice of our evening then and there. It hasn't been a particularly special night of any sorts... not good, not bad, just somewhere in the middle called 'nothingness'... but in that nothingness territory, my thoughts floated towards the continuum of this coming week. And I made a wish. I made a wish because I will be turning a year older this thursday. The wish included dreams of kindness, and love. and joy, and peace. And I'm hoping anyone who is my birthday neighbor will enjoy these same blessings as well during your special day. Let no one spoil it for you. Happy birthday in advance to all the May babies out there!! 
 
Good night everyone. Hope you enjoy the photo of tonight's moon :)

Yay! Please welcome us back to blogging!! We got sidetracked the past month or two as a result of peak season rearing it's ugly head. And while we are back this week with a couple of very special shoots lined up to appear on this blog, this post is NOT a sign at all that we are any more free. I am putting these images up because I miss blogging, and apparently so do the rest of you judging from the messages we keep receiving to please update with a FULL picture post.  
 
So.... Meet Analy and Jose. Two REALLY special souls I had the honor to have in front of my camera all the way in Guatemala. For those who are unfamiliar with this piece of land in the world, its in Central America near the Caribbean area. Awhile back, while I was doing my rounds at WPPI, Analy and I bumped into each other at Jose Villa's workshop. It was our love for this man and his gorgeous work in film that brought our paths together. Analy mentioned at the time, when it was her turn to get married, she would be sending me a message. I thought she was totally kidding because who was I right? Some unknown little Asian girl from Australia. But true to her word, when she got engaged (Co-incidentally to a man also named Jose hehe), that email came and I was SO THRILLED. Okay, I was a little scared to be travelling all the way to this region of the world on my own, with expectations weighing on my shoulders (mainly from myself)...but when I witnessed the sweetness between Analy and Jose, and the adoration this man had in his eyes for her. It was just magic.  
 
It also helps that these two are drop dead GORGEOUS, and have the most amazing taste in style - simple and classic, but overflowing with chic, sophistication and elegance. I sometimes believe photos can be amazing without the busyness of props if a couple NAILS their attire down to the tee and chooses an environment that lets them shine :) Thank you Analy and Jose SO MUCH for choosing me... I don't know why, when you have such incredible talent in your homeland of USA, but I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am better for knowing you both in ways I cannot express in words :) 
 
Enjoy the images peeps!! I'll be showing you Analy and Jose's wedding next week or AROUND that time...  
 
And lastly...the next blog post we have in store should be up tomorrow. It is a very very special one... one that i KNOW a tonne of you have been waiting for. The sheer number of messages from you requesting it have been heard and we will be sharing VERY SOON :)  
 
xoxo 
 

Just a little touristic information - The land of Antigua, Guatemala (which is where we shot), is surrounded by 4 active volcanoes!! :D Have a look :)
