Elcus Farm Trip in Half Moon Bay, CA.

Earlier this year, I had an opportunity to go with my son's field trip to Elcus Farm in Half Moon Bay. Well, it wasn't my idea. My son volunteered me for the job without really consulting me first. Good thing I didn't have any conflict that day. So I figured, might as well bring my camera with me and have fun. Here are some of the photos I took that day. Enjoy ...

Why hire a Professional Videographer

Unlike a photographer who photographs your event, a professional videographer captures life's most precious and beautiful moments with sights and sounds. Only video will allow everyone to relieve your wedding day as it actually happened. It enables you to relieve your walk down the aisle, your voices as you exchange vows and rings, to hear the toast during your reception, and your first dance. Because the event goes by so quickly, capturing all of the activities on video will mean your wedding will be preserved for you, your family and all future generations ahead.


You only have ONE chance to preserve all these memories. ONE chance to capture all of the emotions, the love and laughter for you to share again and again. Why wouldn't you ...

When you invest in a professional videographer such as M Touch Production, you're honoring the importance of your wedding day. Only a trained and experience videographer is prepared to capture the important details of your special day. Call us today at (650) 238 4025 to discuss how we can help. After all - Preserving memories is what we do best.

San Francisco Bay Bridge

I had an opportunity to go with Ray (of Blue Dot Pictures) on one of his video project. He was filming stock footage of the San Francisco Bay Bridge for a music video project. After an hour of waiting for the sun to set, I decided to setup my Canon 30D and start taking my own stocks. Here are some of the photos I took that day. Enjoy . . . .

Sidney's Photo Session



I had the opportunity to photograph Sidney last Thursday. It was a little cloudy in South San San Francisco which helped me a lot since our session was set at 2:30 in the afternoon.

This was my first time working with a model under 3 years old. It started fairly easy since we've picked the playground as our first location. Sidney was in the mood to play along with us. However, I didn't take his age into consideration. I quickly lost control after 15 minutes into the session. Suddenly, I found myself chasing him around. And after 5 minutes of running here and there, it got clearer to me that I'm definitely out of shape. ... Who knew right ... LOL ...

Mom to the rescue. His Mom not mine .. She pulled out her secret weapon - his favorite car. I could tell right away that I'm in control once again ... so to speak. I quickly grabbed my camera took advantage of the situation. This worked for about 10 minutes then back to square one again. But I did manage to photograph some great photos of him with his car.

The session lasted for about 30 minutes. I had a blast working with Sidney. It's definitely a learning experience for me.


Here are a couple of my favorite photos taken that day. Enjoy . .. .

Engagement Photos Session


As a photographer, I find it most important to connect with my wedding clients on a personal level and find out about their own unique story. I see a lot of photographers that take their clients to the same place for every single engagement shoot, and that's ok ... for them. Me personally, I like to photograph at a different place every time. I prefer places that have significant meaning to them. If they don’t have one I will try to create one for them. I tend to do a lot of research before a shoot of this nature. I will look up locations on the internet or I’ll travel and scout out different areas. My clients might even come across a place I haven’t yet discovered and call me to say “we found the perfect place!” Those are the things that intrigue me the most.

I try to be unique, creative, and make each shoot different. Usually, I try to think of a theme or something I can convey in their images. If they like to do things together, then will do that because it will convery there true personality. I'll tell there story thru the images that I capture. After all - preserving memories is what I do best.
