Posting date: October 19th, 2007 | Category: I-do (wedding day), weddings |  I love this wedding. you can always see laugh, smile anyplace, anytime.
When I first shoot the ROM of Carla and Hong 1 year ago, they ‘re pretty shy in front of the camera.
A few months later, I took the "post wedding photos" for them, much better this time, it took me 30 min before they got loose up.
On Sept 29 this year, they had their banquet at Hotel Nikko Hong Kong. To my surprise, even after one year, they still look like newly wed !!! But this time, they are very sweet and with lots of smile all the time.
Be careful of the shoe!!!

Posting date: October 17th, 2007 | Category: interior |  Just kidding, I think I am still not qualified as a good interior photographer. Over 90% of my works are still weddings with around 5-10% of Bar Mitzvah, Boudoir photo session & Party.
Two weeks ago, I got an assignment from Sun Hung Kai Properties to shoot the club house of the Manhattan Hill, it was very interesting. But I found it was much more difficult than shooting weddings, as it took a long time to set up every single shot.
Just a few behind the scene shots
Posting date: October 17th, 2007 | Category: I-do (wedding day), weddings |  I have been looking forward to wedding of Joanna and Gordon for a very very long time. I had shot their engagement photos and Ken helped them to put up a pre-wedding video. It seems that it was a long time since I first met them. Their engagement photos are one of my favorite set !!
We had a blast on their wedding day, everything was perfect.
Their love story is amazing, don’t miss and take a time to read this. I learned one more thing on their wedding day — the reason they choose Hotel Conrad for their reception — it is the place at where the first time Gordon dated Joanna to attend a seminar. Wonderful !!!

I shot the engagement photos of Stella and Alex three weeks ago and I encountered a challenging situation. We planned to go to beach in the afternoon but we ‘re late in our schedule that we didn’t leave Central until 4:30 pm. I started to worry as we might not have enough light on the beach as sun set at 6:00pm.
Just before we left Central, we passed "the Candle Company" on Lyndhurst Terrace, and I thought we should get some candles and they might be useful on the beach. With those candles, I finally got one of my favorite photo of the day on the beach.
when we arrived at the beach, we only got 30 min of sunlight and the sky turned blue and dark very very fast. I asked them to light up the candle and take a [......]
