Too many meetings … …

Just too many client meetings , I believe I met over 15 clients in last two weeks. 

In next 2-3 days, I need to focus on the post processing of all the weddings I shot this month. I am late on my schedule.  Tongue out

Dancing with Wendy & Kevin

I shot the wedding of Wendy & Kevin last week. Before the wedding, I communicated with Wendy and understood that Wendy ‘d like to have a 1 hr location shooting on the street just outside Hotel Excelsior.

There was a lot of fun shooting on the street. Even though there were so many people looking at them, they enjoyed very much.

It is amazing to learn that both Wendy & Kevin are very good dancer !!

My first non-wedding assignment

Today I shooted my first non-wedding assignment. Normally, I don’t do any non-wedding event as I don’t feel the passion of it. I met Fiona back in Jan, and she ’s planning to host a Barmitzvah (???) party for his 12-years old son (Robert). I learned that Barmitzvah party is a fun event to shoot and confirmed to be her photographer.

We shooted a portrait session for Robert today at the Peak, the photos will be used as the guestbook for the party. I had a great time with Fiona ’s family, and Robert is such a handsome boy that it is so easy to take photos for him.

I am already looking forward to their Barmitzah party on 21 May, 2006.

A Good Boy Friend - Stanley

Today I met Seeing and Stanley and confirmed to be their wedding photographer on Oct 19. I appreciate Stanley ’s attitude to wedding photography. For most of the wedding couples I met, the boy friend usually doesn’t show much interest on wedding photography and just let his girl friend to decide everything.

However, Stanley gave me an impression that he is very serious on wedding photography. When I presented my album to him, he went through the photo one by one very slowly and asked a lot of questions to understand my style of shooting.

Hi Stanley, you ‘re a very good boy friend!!

A wedding that brings German and Japanese together

Today I confirmed to be the photographer for the wedding of Noriko and Oliver. This is an interesting wedding, as Noriko comes from Japan while Oliver is a German. They fell in love in Japan several years ago, and now Oliver works in HK as a President of an Intl Co and Noriko studies in CUHK.

Half of the guests will come from Japan and another half from Europe. This sounds very interesting as two different cultures meet in a wedding and I believe I need to learn some basic Japanese and German before the wedding.

The wedding will be held at the pool side Spa of Grand Hyatt - "Plateau" on 1st of July.

This photo of Oliver and me was taken in Pacific Coffee (My officeTongue out)

Eric Suen of One Shot Production

This is my 1st time to meet Eric Suen of One Shot Production. He was the videographer for Irene and Stanley ’s wedding in Phuket (March 31). If you don’t know Eric, One Shot is the top wedding videography company in Hong Kong, and Eric, personally, received several featured video awards when he was working for ATV & RTHK.

Eric is a very nice guy and full of fun. I really enjoyed working with him in the wedding and learned something new from him, especially on how he set up in some of the shots. We had a lot of time chatting during the 3 days in Phuket and we shared our view of the wedding industry in Hong Kong.

BTW, March 31st is Eric ’s birthday, Happy Birthday !!!! 

Happy Birthday
