Can’t wait to share the good news to all of you !!!!! My video partner Ken Wong just won two grand awards in the first Hong Kong Wedding Videography Award last Sunday.
Just one month before the ceremony, we got the news that our two videos were able to enter into the “final 5″ in two categories for professional judge, this was a great surprise to us as there were over 400 videos entered in the contest, and it is a big honor for us to be included in the “final 5″ . Then, one week before the award ceremony, we ‘re invited to join the event, but we didn’t t know the final result. It was so amazing that Ken did won two grand awards finally, I just couldn’t stop screaming at the ceremony when the MC announced Ken ‘s name at the presentation of the gold award !!!!
The two awards we got are:
category: wedding summary video, gold award
video: 111111 wendy + baldwin
category: wedding video – same day edit, silver award
video: anita and gary SDE
One of the most amazing things about this competition is that all the judges are from professional film directors (Clifton Ko 高志森, Lee Lik-chi 李力持, 麥曦茵 Heiward Mak), it is interesting to know how people outside the wedding industry view our works.
to view the complete award list, pls click here. And also congratulations to my friend Chankai, MuseMuse, Casper, and Ivan Wong for their awards !!!!
here are the happy photo of the award ceremony

Posting date: June 17th, 2011 | Category: engagement (pre-wedding), personal | - (Comments are closed) In last two weeks, I was contacted by several wedding magazines for interview regarding my opinion on oversea pre wedding. So guess what? I turned down all these interviews finally. why? Oversea pre wedding is getting more and more popular in last two years, it’s so popular that it starts to become a COMMODITY. However, if you ‘ve followed my blog for a while, you may notice that I didn’t do any oversea pre-wedding session in last two years. As I always tell my client — first, location is the least important element in my photo, second, there are so many places in Hong Kong that are so beautiful, together with the additional time and money required for oversea job, I much prefer staying in hk for pre wedding.
I feel glad (and lucky) that there are still so many clients that love having pre-wedding photos in Hong Kong and always bring me lot of interesting locations – and kavy and ben are definitely one of them.
they both live in Ma Wan, so we started the shooting at the Ma Wan old village. The last time I was there was already four years ago. This is such a beautiful and quiet location that I love it very much, and it was just like a hiking that we walked around to look for photo opportunities — no specific route, no specific scenic point — that ‘s the way of shooting that I love very much.
location: Home, Ma Wan old village, the peak, temple street.
make up artist: cherry from Makeup Rainbow
this is one of my fav photo of the day. this was shot at the peak and here is my thinking process behind this photo.
When I arrived, I saw a patch of light passing through the branches and I immediately thought it was a photo opportunity there. After asking kavy to stand under this light, the next thing that I needed to consider is what should kavy do to blend into the environment. When I take photo of the bride, I always think how I can do the best for her and what should be highlighted in the photo, it can be her eyes, her face, hair, the dress, the shoes, the body figure, the emotion, the smile …. … you name it, the possibility is just unlimited. In this case, I found kavy ‘s dress (the back) look awesome, and I was thinking putting her back as the highlight of this pic. By positing her at the right location, with the light and shadow on her back, it gave us a very three dimensional look of her back and her figure. that ‘s how this photo was created, all by available light only.

Posting date: April 7th, 2011 | Category: engagement (pre-wedding), My Blogs, personal, video | Comments are closed With immediate effect, there will be an increase of my rate for wedding day video service. The new rate card was post here. If you have received my formal quotation of wedding day video this week, it is advised to settle the deposit before end of this week to entitle for the old rate.
I am sorry to tell you that there will be an increase of my rate for engagement (pre-wedding photo) session on 1st May, 2011 The new rate card will be released on May 1st , 2011. If you plan to hire me as your pre-wedding photographer, the old rate will be honored if you confirm the booking (with deposit arranged) before 1st May, 2011.
All bookings will be charged at the new rate afterward.
Posting date: February 23rd, 2011 | Category: personal | - (Comments are closed) I was shocked and surprised when she.com contacted me and told me that I was nominated as one of the top wedding photographer in Hong Kong. Even though the feature is released on she.com today, I still can’t believe it. I feel extremely honored to be named with other top photographers as there are so many I still need to learn from them.
and also I need to give a big thank to all the trust and support that my clients gave to me, without them, I can never get any good photo by myself.
you can see the full story at she.com
Posting date: December 1st, 2010 | Category: personal, portrait | - (Comments are closed) thanks for all your support. the result of 2010 Q3 ag.wpja conest just announced this morning, and I am pleased that I got two awards in the “creative portrait of Bride” category.
I didn’t enter any contest for more than a year already, so these two-awards is a good start for me. you can click my profile page at ag.wpja to see more informaiton
I always love entering the wpja contest as I found their images always very inspiring, so don’t miss to see the contest result for other winning images
Judges Comment: What an elegant portrait. The veil envelops the bride’s face beautifully and her arms are so delicately placed. Her peaceful smile, along with the subtle toning, makes this an exquisite photograph.
Judges Comment: This was a good attempt at a different type of portrait. The busy carpet does somewhat distract you from the bride and her gown.
Posting date: July 29th, 2010 | Category: engagement (pre-wedding), personal | - (Comments are closed) it ‘s summer time – a period that wedding photographers love and hate.
I feel so happy and relax now that I am going to have a break in next three weeks, no more photo shoot in next three weeks. finally, have time to relax, can spend more time with shulin (shulin is about to go to school, and I ‘ll accompany her in the 1st two weeks ‘ school time, so exciting !!!! after that, she has to attend class on her own)
To my surprise, my schedule was fully packed in last three months, the number of weddings and pre-weddings reached a record high during that time. I never expect there ‘re so many bookings as it was a low season during this period of time because of the hot and rainy weather and oversea pre-wedding shoot is so popular nowadays.
I ‘d like to express my thanks to all the clients that love my photo style, love taking pre-wedding in hong kong, and their love of the summer heat !!!
I also feel so lucky that all my clients are so unique, and have all the trust on me. here is the sneak preview of mr. and miss bunny ‘s prewedding session.
locations: polytechnic university, Wan Yan College, shek O, central
my fav of the day !!!! I have this image in my mind for a long long time, I even drafted lighting diagram on paper. But I have to wait ….. wait for good timing, wait for great color of the sky, and the sea cannot be too rough …. …. and most important, have to wait for a suitable couple, trust me, I would not ask clients to do something that are not suitable for them. thank bunnies for helping me in this shot. And also special thanks for canly, you can’t imagine how difficult to set the light in water !!!
