About Henry Chen

http://www.henrychenphotography.com/
Henry, entering his 5th year as a wedding photographer, thrives on the challenges and adrenaline of capturing life’s greatest moments. With a photojournalistic approach, Henry aims to capture the raw emotion of love through unique compositions and a stylish blend of lines, shapes, and light. Though he graduated with an engineering degree, Henry’s interest in photography manifested in the Summer of 2006 when he served as an intern for his beloved NBA team, the Los Angeles Clippers. His desire to make an impact on the lives of others affirmed his decision to transition to wedding photography full-time in July of 2009. The thrill of a day for Henry now rests in those pivotal, decisive moments at a wedding, and he feeds off the love that a bride and groom have for one another. But Henry’s passion extends beyond capturing remarkable, timeless moments, as he values nothing more than the amazing relationships he has created with individuals from all over the world. When not photographing weddings, Henry enjoys spending time with his family, friends, and amazing fiancé Charlene. He loves exploring the different cultures this world has to offer and aims to travel to a new destination every chance he gets.

Wedding Photography: 10 Tips On Transitioning From Hobby Career

For a few of us, photography was inspired by our elders while growing up. Whether it was our parents, who were already running a photography business, or our uncle giving us a toy camera when we were eight, seems like it would be natural to choose photography as a profession. But for most of us, we got into the business of (wedding) photography at a later stage in our lives, most likely because we simply liked to take photos and wanted to share them with our family and friends.
