I was very worried a few days before the wedding of becky and ray last Friday. As you remembered, we had the 1st typhoon this year, and the weather forecast was very bad …. ….. rain with thunderstorm !!!!!!!!
And it was even worse that the wedding started at park island — a place where we could only go by either bus or ferry, no taxi, no private car. Just imagine how bad it can be with thunderstorm when we are getting off the bus with all the equipments and bags we have.
just giving you an idea of the things we (Canly and I) bring on a wedding day
Newswear chestvest for canly carrying all flashes and lighting accessories around
a two steps ladder
a 15″ laptop for doing same day photo slideshow
So what happened finally? The wedding was full of blessing !!!!! Yes, we did have thunderstorm, but only when we ‘re indoor, during the ceremony, inside hotel or on shuttle bus. Whenever we ‘re outdoor at park island, at bethanie chapel , at park view hotel, the weather was so good and sunny !!!!!
Even though I prepared umbrella, rain coat, rain cover for my bags, we didn’t need to open them at all !!!
Here is the same day photo slideshow. the song is changed for web display purpose.
(It takes around 2-3 min to buffer the video before it plays, be patient)
alfred = a boy likes everything in green color, so you can see green tie, green laptop, green car, green dress in the following slideshow
jojo = a very cheerful girl, but always stops smiling whenever looking at my camera. My little trick: I always said, “Hey, JoJo, shots done!!!” Then she laughed again, and I got the shot !!!
jojo + alfred = a beautiful love story
= a couple lived very close, but never knew each other until they met on a mini bus back to home.
= a very beautiful and happy wedding
Here is the same day photo slideshow. This is one of the most challenging same day edit I ever had – we had to show it before 9:45pm during the banquet, but they had the ceremony at 7:45pm, so it was really a rush to prepare it.
we love capturing the love between the wedding couple.
we love seeing surprises prepared by the wedding couple.
but we never expect to see so many big diamonds on a wedding day … …
After changing into a evening gown, venice walked into the ballroom from the changing room. To her surprise, “I have prepared a special desert for you” , said kenny. When the dish was uncovered, we saw shining light – it is a set of diamond jewelry. Under the spot light, kenny helped her to put them on in front of all the guest.
Hi, all the other groom, if you are still thinking of what surprises you ‘d like to give to your bride on the wedding day, you may consider kenny ’s idea !!!!
still remember cordelia and fred? cordelia made a special request of wearing glasses in her engagement photo session last year. Up to today, she is still the one and only one bride wearing glasses in front of my camera.
After posting her pre-wedding photos here, I got lots of good feedback from readers and couldn’t imagine how many people appreciated cordelia ’s character.
time flies … … so happy to see her again on her wedding day. this time not only did we see a bride wearing glasses again, but we could see a wedding with lots of beautiful details as well. We did see very different bouquet, wedding shoes, hair style, decoration … …
I still remember the first time I met Jo and Desmond – in a coffee shop in grand hyatt. At the very first second I saw them, I already felt I met them before, but I was not very sure in which occasion. I finally learned that they were the bridesmaid and groomsman of the wedding of maggie and simon 3 years ago …. …. And, to my surprise, it is THIS wedding in which they met each other and started dating since then. So excited!!! Feel like I witnessed and being part of the wedding.
havn’t been uploading video here for a long time. I ‘d like to upload more video, but it really takes time for video conversion and uploading. Let me upload more videos from Ken in next two weeks.
did you notice that I posted less and less portrait photos on wedding day posts? I found that most of my clients love my photojournalist style on wedding day. Yes, we still do some portraits, but it usually doesn’t take more than 10-15 min. The followings are some of my fav portraits of Jo – which we did under 5 min (just before we left the church and still able to catch the last few min. of sunset light from windows) as time is very short. we only used available light and NO flash or video light was used. But the result was still stunning !!!

I really can’t remember when is my last time that I can blog a wedding within 1 week after it. I am still having a huge backlog (I guess , over 60 weddings and preweddings) that I haven’t written up here because of my busy schedule in last few months.
However, I couldn’t wait to write up the wedding on last sat – vickie and joseph.
if you are a long time reader of this blog, you may already know vickie is my assistant during the period of 07-08. Since I knew her wedding day, I was so looking forward to this date.
vickie, you ‘re super gorgeous on the day !!!! Here is a sneak preview of the day.
