After 3 months of nonstop construction noise and nerve-racking decision making, the renovation of Soo Photographys studio is complete. New skylights, windows, and LED fixtures have transformed the dark studio into a sun-drenched haven perfect for photo shoots in San Jose. The elegant modern furniture, 2-way fireplace, and sensual wedding-themed design give the studio the feel of an upscale lounge.
We spent 3 months dealing with the fine white dust from the drywall, the teeth-shattering jackhammering, and the noise from dawn till dusk. Renovation is super stressful, especially if, like me, youre someone who is meticulous about the tiniest details: light, color, the shape of the tiles, design, ambiance, and on and on, says Michael Soo. But the good news is that our studio renovation is finally complete! Champagne all around, please! Happy New Year!!!
The new interior, designed by the Soo Photography team, is dappled with natural light from the 7 new skylights and many new windows. Over 60 new light fixtures, most of which use energy-efficient LED lights, brighten the space.
The interior has a wedding theme with a glamorous, contemporary, warm and extremely sexy feel. The furniture is modern and cozy, the perfect place for couples who are getting married to get comfortable, have some wine and cheese, and chat with us about their plans, says the San Francisco photographer.
An elongated see-through fireplace is set into one wall. One side features beautifully curved tiles, bordered by wood. The other side has a large black granite surround, sitting on a sensual red wall.
The see-through fireplace is fun because its essentially 2 fireplaces in one, explains Soo.
The salon also received a facelift with new light fixtures, glass French doors and new flooring.
To make an appointment to visit the new studio, or for information about any of Soo Photographys services, call Michael Soo at (408) 666-8455 or visit http://www.soophotography.com.

I visit Malahide on a regular basis especially because it has some really good restaurants.
In Malahide village there are extensive retail facilities and services including fashion boutiques, hair and beauty salons, florists, food outlets, and a small shopping centre. Traditional shopfronts and several cobble-lock side streets give the village an intimate and welcoming feel. There are a broad range of pubs and restaurants and the 150-room Grand Hotel.
There is an ancient covered well, St. Sylvester’s, on the old main street (Old Street, previously Chapel Street).
Near to the village itself is Malahide Castle and demesne, including, gardens, which were once the estate of Baron Talbot of Malahide.
