Guiding couples to relive their love-filled moments through organic, emotive and editorial photography.

 

Art and creative expression have remained a constant in my life, but it took some time for my purpose to take shape.

In college, it was fine art and soft sculptures; then, it was graphic and exhibit design. It wasnโ€™t until I experienced the indescribable feeling of shooting weddings that I became enamored with capturing emotions as a medium.

The extrovert in me thrived in these people (and love) filled settingsโ€”that feeling remains as strong as ever as I work with creatives and couples in bringing their stories to life.

The Story of Unique Lapin

I mean it when I say I really am a hopeless romantic.

Would you believe me if I told you my now husband and I moved to Paris for a year after dating for only three months?

Call us eternal optimists when it comes to love (or even crazy!), but

having that unconcentrated time together in a foreign place has forever laid the foundation of love for me.

My name nods to our adventure in the City of Light and my husbandโ€™s zodiac sign of the rabbit and its translation in Frenchโ€”lapin. It serves as a reminder of that feeling that continues to live in me and the one I aim to bring to every couple I meet.

Today, you can find me in Brooklyn raising my two daughters alongside my husband, Jeff. After becoming a mother, I realized the importance of bottling moments for families to look back on now more than ever. The first wedding I shot after maternity leave, I was overcome with a wave of emotions when I saw the first father-daughter dance.

Iโ€™ll forever be a romantic at heart. Love for me has always been this unhindered, beautiful through-line.

As a Korean with a half-Jewish and Japanese husband, the people, cultures, and places I experience and connect with around the world are what make my work so emotional vulnerable, and real. Itโ€™s the culmination of all of these organic moments of people being people that light me up.

 

Things I really loveโ€ฆ

The smell of the air the day after it rains.

Listening (and perhaps dancing) to John Coltrane.

Ice cream and a dirty martiniโ€ฆbut three olives, please.

Drinking icy cold drinks in super cold weatherโ€”I know.

The sound of stepping on fresh snow.

Watching deer and wild turkey from our Highmount Haus in Upstate New York.

When a wooden chopstick breaks perfectly. Yes!

Travel, but who doesnโ€™t?!
