San Diego Wedding Photographer – Destination Wedding Photographer – Jon Chan Photography bio picture

Welcome to my Blog!

So "About Me" sections tend to fall into two main camps if you will. On one side you've got the guy who has been doing photography for what seems to be an eternity. They'll probably make a mention about the "good ole days of film". On the other camp, you have the ridiculously 'artsy-fartsy' type. They'll talk about "capturing love, one shot at a time." Or maybe something edgy like, "I capture dreams." <gag>

Me? I love people. I love photography. [And everyone and their moms love weddings. Duhh.] It's a perfect fit. I'm a firm believer in this little thing called integrity. Hard work and constant improvement come standard. I believe life is stressful enough...no need to add to it. I believe a simple smile goes a long way. And I don't believe in having "clients." Only friends.

All the best!

UC Berkeley Engagement Photography – William & Amor

Posted in engagements

I’ve been in the bay area ALOT the last couple of months for photoshoots. Couple weddings. Engagements. Not that I’m complaining though. Southwest flights *knock on wood* typically are on time. The bartender at the airport bar recognizes me and gives me a hard time. [2 forms of ID?]. They have different seasons up in the bay. I get to see my childhood stomping grounds and eat at all those places that I frequented growing up. And Mommy & Daddy Chan are happy to see their wayward San Diego son visiting home once in a while. [Mom, I promise to come home more often.]

One of the shoots up there was an Engagement session for William & Amor. Both of them went to Cal for school…and that is where they first met. Same dorm. So its only made sense that they had their engagement session on campus. [Must be a sports thing. Cal has a great sports program...and everyone there seems to love the school. UCLA has a great sports program, and Stef loves UCLA. UCSD has no sports program...and UCSD gets zero love from me. hahah]

We decided to take bart up to Berkeley…I must be getting old because I don’t remember it being this loud.

Finally on campus

Since Amor was Haas School of Business, it stopped for a little while. We were able to get in because there were people STUDYING there. On a Saturday. Gosh how I don’t miss college!
