Blog of a HK Wedding Photographer

I feel very sorry that I didn’t blogged andrea and ken ’s wedding for a long time. Every time I talked to audrea on email and phone, she was so eager to see her photos here (even after she got all the photos already … …) Last few months were busy time for me, taking care of my baby as well as clearing all the outstanding jobs before holiday (April - June) takes up all of my time.

I am very happy now that all the outstanding are cleared and I am working on weddings after my holiday and some outstanding albums.

I had been to Wetland Part three times in last 7 days and it was so hot there. Have you read the appledaily today? they found out that it was over 46 C in the afternoon there. 46C, can you believe it ?????? If you like to have photos there, please be prepared …. …..

clippings from apple daily

when I read the newspaper this morning, I learned that yesterday, so far,  was the hottest day of this year, no wonder we felt so hot yesterday!!!! When we were at the Wetland Part in the afternoon, we just couldn’t stay outside. Finally, we only spent around 30 min outdoor, and still got completely wet !!!!

In the morning, our 1st location was the Mary Knoll school, not only my first time to be there, but also my first time to meet Philip. I learned from Carmen that he doesn’t like taking any photo. It was a little bit challenging at first, but he was such a great guy that loosen up very soon, in fact much better than I expected !!!! And he made a joke that the amount of photos I took for him yesterday was more than all he had in last 10 years !!!

Look forward to their wedding in Oct !!!

date: 21 July, 2008 

Locations: Maryknoll convent School, Wetland Park, Pak Lai (unplanned location), Craigengower crickets club

make up artist: Katherine and Elaw Wong

after finished the session at Wetland Park, I suggest them to go to Pak Lai, one of the most beautiful Sun Set location in Hong Kong. The temperature was much lower at that time and we had a blast there !!!!

Hey Carmen, are you OK?

a happy wedding last Sat. I always found that I am so lucky that all my clients are so happy and friendly on their wedding day, and this is not an exception for vienna and tony. Not only they are fabulous, but also their families, wedding parties, friends and students as well (yes, vienna is a teacher, and lots of her students came to the ceremony to celebrate with them)

it rained most of the time in last few weeks, several photo sessions ‘re postponed. When I talked to Ben last week, he told me that he would go ahead the photo session on last Monday (14 July) no matter it rained or not. What a great man !!! So what happened — instead of having a rainy day, we had the hottest and sunny photo session. It was so hot that Ben almost got sunstroke when we finish the first stop at the Wetland Park.

date: 14 July, 2008
locations: Wetland Park, Shek O, Club JJ’s of Grand Hyatt

my fav of the day. I found this red wall inside the visitor center.

look at Ben, he ’s not holding a mobile. He almost got a sunstroke after one hour outdoor shooting. He ’s holding an ice pack to cool himself down

So happy to have my friend Claudia of playground photography visited us three weeks ago. Just give you some information of playground, they are very specialized in kid and baby photo on location and definitely one of the best in town.

We didn’t plan to do any photo, but when we grabbed out camera, the two crazy photographers just couldn’t stop taking photos of the lovely Shulin

Hi Claudia, thanks for visiting us

The story began on a Christmas night … Kevin went to the Christmas ball at the University of Hong Kong (HKU), the second he found fiona, he already knew she ’s the one of his life. The love inside pushed him to make a "first move" — inviting a girl to dance … ….

Did the love story start like this? … … probably not. Fiona didn’t give him a chance, walked away and left the poor Kevin in the dark.

After that night, Kevin couldn’t forget Fiona ’s face, he got help from his friends in HKU to find the contact of Fiona. And finally, he managed to get Fiona ’s ICQ no. To his surprise, she was studying Electronic Engineering degree (he graduated from the same department as well), so he kept contacting her and offered to teach her some of the courses.

I didn’t asked them the rest of the story … … May be Kevin can share the rest with you later … …

date: 29 June, 2008 (a rainy day)
ceremony and reception: Langham Hotel
makeup: nancy kim

We started shooting at Fiona ’s home in Tseung Kwan O in the morning, followed by location shooting at HKU, then back to Tseung Kwan O. Even though it took long time traveling and it rained so bad on Sunday, they really loved to take some photos at HKU.
Happy looking at the rain drops
