Kenny Phan Photography | Los Angeles & Orange County Photographer bio picture

Hi there!

I am Kenny Phan, a Los Angeles & Orange County photographer specializing in weddings, portraits & events and willing to travel if necessary. Welcome to my website where I will provide to you a glimpse of my love and passion through my images. I am happily married to my gorgeous wife Vanessa of Vanessa Lam Photography and a proud father to our beautiful daughter, Kareena and newborn son, Kyle. Besides my passion for photography, I am also a die hard basketball junkie. 

Vanessa and I are a husband and wife photographer. Even though we may work together at times, we do have our own style. I love to capture the candid moments, letting the photos tell the story. Simple. Memorable. Forever. That's how your photos should turn out.

I hope to have the opportunity to get to know you and be able to capture all the special moments in your life. And at the end of the day, my goal isn't only to provide to you with all the great images, but also to have gained your respect and friendship.

Kenny Phan

Chinese American Historical Society - 34th Annual Gala Dinner Celebrating Chinese Americans in Sports

May 5, 2009

I was so honored and privileged to be invited to the 34th Annual Gala dinner celebrating Chinese Americans in Sports. This year’s event was held at Empress Harbor Seafood, Monterey Park, Ca and organized annually by the Chinese American Historical Society of Southern California. Being a Chinese American athlete myself, it felt special to be surrounded by people who played a significant role and inspiration to the growth of Chinese Americans in sports. My good friend Carol Jue who is the Head Coach of the women’s basketball team for Chapman University was one of the many honorees.img_5216
