Posting date: May 5th, 2009 | Category: My Blogs, personal | Comments are closed My current rate card post on the blog has already been expired on dec 31, 2008 (yes, expired five months ago), but I didn’t have time to update it. Now I am preparing a new rate card for all new bookings. I am sorry to tell you that there will be an increase of my rate for wedding day photo, video and pre-wedding photo session. The new rate card will be released on May 18, 2009. If any of you had received my quotation in last two weeks, or you plan to hire me as your wedding photographer, the old rate will be honored if you confirm the booking (with deposit arranged) before 18 May.
All bookings will be charged at the new rate afterward.
(updated: 20 May) new rate card uploaded to the "about me / rate card" page

Posting date: February 28th, 2009 | Category: My Blogs, engagement, personal | This was a busy week since last Friday – with 3 pre-weddings and 3 weddings – a kick-off of the busy March coming ahead.
the weather was not very good recently – very wet and foggy most of the time, that made all the clients of the pre-wedding session very nervous before the photo shooting day. However, it turned out that we had beautiful weather in last 3 sessions – we got beautiful sunset at Sam Mun Tsai (三門仔) for ada and joe, wonderful sunlight at Shek O (and a very very clear sky at the peak) for calise and michael, and today, another beautiful sunset at the Stanley Military Cemetery for gigi and victor.
We ‘re lucky, aren’t we ???
the beautiful view at the stanley military cemetery today !!!!
Stay tuned … … will try to update the photos of all these sessions very soon. Had to sleep now for the early wedding tmr

Posting date: April 7th, 2008 | Category: My Blogs, personal | Hi All,
(this is a sticky post – stayed at the top of the blog for a while) We just finished the busy season from Jan – Mar and I am going to take a long, long vacation from April – June (more on this vacation later). This vacation is planned for a long time and I stopped taking any wedding job between april and june since 9 months ago. There will be only a few shootings which were confirmed long time ago. And I will try to clear all the backlogs in next few weeks.
Outlook of 2008 is very very strong, with over 90 shootings booked !!!! And most of the Chinese "good days" are engaged. If you are looking for wedding photography in Oct, Nov and Dec 2008 , please be informed that all weekends (except Oct 4, Oct 12. Nov 23, Dec 13 & 14) are already booked.
(updated: 29 April) I am sorry that I ‘ll stop meeting new client during my vacation in May (except those that had confirmed before), you can still contact and book me via email and telephone.
(updated: 15 May) thanks for all your support, booking for Nov 2008 is completely full, and I am sorry that I can’t take any new order for wedding and engagement shooing in Nov 2008.
(updated: 4 June) booking for Oct and Dec is 95% full now, if you have booked me an engagement session and plan to have the shooting later this year, I highly suggest you to confirm the shooting date as soon as possible.
(updated: 10 June) client meeting resumes after mid June, here is my meeting schedule
your friendly wedding photographer — simon.the.photo
