Style Me Pretty Cover Story: Poppies & Posies Soiree
Yay! These photos from a very cute soiree I was invited to were just featured on Style Me Pretty's front page! Thanks to Sierra + Juliet for inviting me to their lovely vendor connect event. The best parts: DIY cupcakes and toast, tea tins filled with business cards, colorful candies, chalk board name tags and of course, poppies.

Honey Teapot
I love tea pots and I love tea. Here is my mother's favorite tea recipe for Lemon Ginger Honey Tea. See recipe and photo of honey jar below.
Pour a cup of honey into a jar
Mix with a few teaspoons of diced lemon and ginger
Let sit (minimum 1 day)
Add one spoonful of delightful honey mixture to your hot tea or hot water
Do nothing for a half hour to purely enjoy

New York Wedding Library, Wedding Party 2010
Amazing event at the Palace Hotel today - the Wedding Library's Wedding Party 2010. The must go to event for planning brides and grooms. If you didn't get a chance to make it and your wedding is for Summer 2011, be sure to put a reminder on your calendar for next year! It was mesmerizing going by everyone's tables. Here are some photos of my table (pretty cute and casually romantic...?) and a few shots of some of the great displays there. What a dream!

A New York Countryside Wedding
Meral and Matt's super gorgeous and joyous wedding in Vernon, NY with horses and carriages. I love it all and it's the first wedding I've photographed for a friend! Thanks for having me Matt and Meral!
Happy Birthday Sister
Happy birthday Annie! You are the best person I know. I wish you every happiness in the world. For those who haven't had the pleasure of meeting little Miss Annie Huang, she is not only a great sister, but absolutely critical to Jen Huang Photography. I am very much a boutique and family focused firm and Annie is both a talented photographer herself as well as a great manager. You'll likely speak to her when I'm abroad or on a shoot and she can help answer any questions since she knows JHP inside and out.
Cynthia & Tom: A Queens Garden Wedding featured on Brides New York
I'm so happy to announce that Cynthia and Tom's amazing wedding at the Queen's Farm will be published in Brides New York Spring and Summer 2010! When Cynthia and Tom met with me earlier in the year, I could tell that they were an extremely creative couple. Just like I predicted, their wedding was set in the picturesque garden and farm museum in Queens, NY with astoundingly creative details - especially on the part of Tom, who has major groom style! A gallery of the wedding can be found here.
The bride wore a Bridal Garden Novissima dress, hair by Commune Salon and flowers by Sprout Home. The groom wore J.Crew and Paul Smith sneakers with a boutonniere made from old film and a NYC map. Keil Brothers Nursery provided the succulents and Smoking Grill/Bon Soir provided the catering. Wedding bands/rings by DeBeers and Stuart Moore.
Elihu Bogan, A Jen Huang Photographer
He has been known as E, Hugh, Eli, Elijah... and many other different pronunciations but Elihu has been consistently part of the Jen Huang Photography family since the beginning. Starting out as a second shooter, Elihu quickly began to shoot weddings on his own and is now officially a Jen Huang Photographer. His work is saturated with a classic style mixed with whimsical details and strong candid moments. We snapped the shots below before an event in upstate New York. You can see more of Elihu's work on his Blog-Site.
Best Wishes for 2010!
Happy new year friends, family, bloggers, readers, brides & grooms! As the end of 2009 approaches, I wanted to thank and bless the people who have helped make it such a successful year and also wish everyone an even happier 2010.
2009 was blissful. I traveled from the east coast to the west coast and as far as Tibet to take photos for myself and others. I met so many interesting people and have probably tried every hor d'oeuvre there is. I am so honored by every single bride and groom who chose and trusted me on their important wedding day. I wish them joyful marriages with lots of kids!
I thank the creative bloggers and magazine editors who chose my work as inspirations, and I eagerly await my features in The Knot and Get Married magazine next year. Thank you to Style Unveiled, The Wedding Chicks, Brooklyn Bride and Style Me Pretty for their brilliant online spreads of my images. I am always taken aback by how different and awesome my photos can look through a talented editor's eye.
I am so lucky to be surrounded by such supportive people: my wonderful second shooters, Elihu, Liang, Anne and Emma - you guys had my back at every event and I can't wait to shoot with you again next year; My parents and best friends who constantly rave about my work to everyone and anyone; All the wonderful wedding vendors and bloggers who selflessly promoted my work both to clients and peers.
2010 is already starting to look fantastic. Summer is booking up fast and I am meeting with wonderful brides and grooms every week. There will be beautiful east coast and west coast weddings, as well as some stunning destination affairs. 2010 will be the first year that I will be a part of the prestigious New York Wedding Library. Along with this honor I will be participating in some fun bridal shows, meeting new vendors and creating some more ravishing Cypress and Queensberry albums.
Since winters are slightly less hectic than summers I hope to spend much of it at my cottage in San Diego, taking care of Gatsby, my new french bulldog. Trips are being planned for France, Spain, India and China. I might even drive my car across the country - perhaps a trip to the salt flats or the grand canyon?
It is both exhilarating and exhausting to have my whole life and future in my hands. But it's definitely a blessing and one I wouldn't trade for anything. Everyday is a breath of fresh air.
Here's to 2009 and Happy 2010!
Love,
Jen
