Wow! What a photo session. We had everything from $5000 suites, to a professional model bulldog, to taking a 30 minute hike into the trenches of Audubon park =) I hope all the work I put you guys through was worth it. Congrats to Bert and Stacey!

ps. Who’s uncomfortable now? =P
pps. Van Anh, if you’re reading this, he DID use the restroom in the suite hahaha.


I saved the best shot for last. Why? Because this was literally the LAST shot of the day =) Stacey called this as her enlargement on the spot.

Hung and Trang, I’ve only known you guys for a short period of time, but during that time… you have been very gracious and welcoming. It’s usually the photographers job to make the clients feel at ease with us, but in this situation, it was you guys that made me felt at ease. It was because of your personality that I wasn’t shocked to see how much love all of your friends & family showed you at your wedding. First of all, Wow! Your wedding was nothing short of extravagant. If anything, it was more like a rowdy concert in a high class ballroom. =) You had dragons walk you up during your grand entrance. Bella bloom filled the reception hall with gigantic vases of beautiful flowers while Kim, Hien, and Loan from Wink Event Planning worked their magic and transformed Crystal Palace’s interior into something suited for royalty. I know that I shouldn’t be shocked when I see the “Winkie’s” transform a room anymore, but my jaw dropped when I walked into CP that evening.
Paris by Night stars, Cong Thanh and Lynn kept the night festive and fun with their MC’ing and beautiful voices. Every table greet ended with a WHO DAT! Well, not every table, half way through the table greets, Hung changed the chants from Who Dat to Ai Day? hahaha. To end the night, Dj Duckie took over the 1’s and 2’s and had the entire dance floor jumping for the rest of the night. We thank you for letting us be a part of your big celebration. Congrats again to Merf and Trang!

It was SOOO awesome to witness such a historic event for our great city of New Orleans. Celebrating the New Orleans Saints Superbowl XLIV victory. We are the WORLD CHAMPS! No Superbowl victory will ever compare to this one ever because this is our first one. I remember being in the 6th grade when my mom bought my brothers and I our first pack of NFL football cards. We immediately got attached to our Dalton Hilliard’s, Eric Martin’s, Pat Swelling’s, Ricky Jackson’s. Even in elementary school, we were outcasts because all the other kids were in love with the 49ers and Dallas Cowboys. 23 years later, and I can finally say… it was all worth it! Congrats to our Boys, and thank you for putting New Orleans back on the map!


Tooting our beloved “When the Saints come marching in” with one hand, and holding his beer in the other. MAD SKILLS!


Vu came out since 1 to hold down our spot. He hired a hobo to grill our chicken for us in return for a cigarette and a feature on the Studio Pham Blog!

How this guy fit that little bitty helmet on that big ole head of his is still a mystery.


That sweatshirt was TOO funny! WHO DAT! SUE ME!


I dont know what was funnier, Mike Bell actually seeing the sign, or Viet holding the sign yelling Who Dat walking up and down the street!


Vu found me a potential bride! Meet Ashley, who ate ALL of my Munchies! So now she has to advertise for us. Fair trade? =)


They’re blessing the streets for us!


I think Reggie brought his own Trojan?


Finally after about 7 hours of camping out, we finally see a float!!! WHO DAT!


Thank you for not selling our team Tom!


Breesus and his offensive linemen! This float was driving the slowest =)


The Wide Receivers float. I see Lance Moore, Devery Henderson, Courtney Roby, and Robert Meachem. Colston was on the other side =(


The Saintsations!


How the heck did they survive a 5 hour parade wearing what they were wearing?


Anthony Hargrove. (An amazing story!)


This was who we was waiting for! Reggie had the biggest chant from the crowd that night. REGGIE REGGIE REGGIE!


Reggie Bush and Pierre Thomas!


The Defensive Back’s Float.


I’ll be the first to admit that at the beginning of the season, I thought Darren Sharper was in his down years and bringing him in was a bit of a stretch. 9Ints, and 3Td’s later, I have my foot in my mouth!


Ole Mike McKenzie!


Last but not least, the new hero of our town. Garrett Hartley! It’s kinda funny how they put him and punter, Thomas Morestead on a float that has a shoe! hahaha By the way, Im glad they ran out of my size before the Superbowl, b/c now, Im getting me a Personalized jersey with Hartley’s number on it!
