Jessica and Kyle flew from California to have their engagement shoot this past weekend.
They were stuck in traffic for few hours and Jessica had bad allergies, but neither could deter them from having fun. They were too excited to be in the big apple.

15th Anniversary of Pier 59 Studios from James Jeon on Vimeo.
I had the opportunity to attend the Pier 59 Studios’ anniversary celebration and it was totally awesome.
We took an M roadster to the city; the top was up since it was freezing, but the sweet sound of the S54 makes me grin every time!
The 100,000 square-foot facility sits on the west side highway and we got there in no time.
Inside the studio was filled with gorgeous people in a surreal environment; but a Leopard and the cubs? That was unexpected!

As many of my close friends know, my wife and I were expecting a new baby soon. The estimated due date was February 2, but we have been told by our physician since early January that he wasn’t going to be in the womb for that long, we just didn’t know when…
January 28, ended like most of the other days. I was scheduled to be in the city the next day to tape Jack’s musical “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” at his school, so I got my equipment together and went to sleep as usual…No drama and no surprises.
However, January 29, was a different story. My wife woke me up in the morning and said “honey we have to go.” I thought maybe she wanted to come with me for a ride to drop off my daughter at preschool. But when I checked the clock it was 630am and then I realized what she meant! Got ready as fast as we could and we were on our way to the hospital.
As the nurses were helping with my wife, and waiting for the doctor to arrive, I was ready to call my back up in case I couldn’t make to the city in time. I had to be with my wife to help her through but didn’t want to fall through on my commitment to Jack and his parents either.
In the midst of this crazy thoughts, the doctor checked and said she will be in labor soon. Sure enough, around 8:42am we welcomed our new baby Brandon Jeon and later that evening I was off to the city.
I met Jack’s family and spent a little time at their apartment before the play. You could immediately see that they were a close bunch. Being a father myself, I was drawn to watch his father Meriko sword fighting with Jack. Soon, I will be in Meriko’s shoes.
Here is the highlight of Jack as Charlie in Willy Wonka Jr. “Charlie and the Chololate Factory”.
Audrey+Stewart Trailer from James Jeon on Vimeo.
This is my second trip to Long Island City this year and I was amazed there was another beautiful building right around the corner from the Metropolitan building where I shot Sasha and Tom’s wedding.
Audrey and Stewart tied the knot on a cold evening in December. It was about 30 degrees that evening but you wouldn’t have known it was that cold outside once you stepped through the main door at the Foundry. Inside was cozy and the decor was perfect for the ocation. The live band and the crowd made sure it stayed warm and toasty inside…
