Love doesn’t mean being inseparable, it means being separated and nothing changes, wing and gordon

From the 1st day they met each other, it ’s a long distance relations — four years, both of them had to fly around the world – Austria, Baltimore, Boston, Brussels, Budapest, Guilin, Hawaii, Hong Kong, Iceland, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, London, New York, Morocco, Montreal, Orlando, Paris, Prague, San Francisco, Quebec, Vienna, you name it. Even though it ’s difficult to keep that relationship, they always to manage to catch other when the other ’s in need.

As Gordon said, “Love doesn’t mean being inseparable; it means being separated and nothing changes”

It ’s really a joy taking photos for them, both of them are very nice and kind, and easy to work with. Being based in the states now, they just had their wedding ceremony in Hawaii one week before coming to Hong Kong, to have a dinner with their relatives here. Even though the stay only last for three days, there ’s no rush on the day as there was not much Chinese rituals to be done. We just spent the whole morning taking photos inside peninsula hotel, then, followed by very nice lunch (thank you wing and gordon), then go to Central to have another hour portrait session.

makeup artist: Gracy of JustGracy
dinner: peninsula hotel
photo locations: peninsula and Central

my fav of the day. except the last two photos taken at central, all photos below ‘re taken by available light only.
love the silk-like texture revealing under the sunlight a lot – a very beautiful dress from Vera Wang. There is another version taken by my Samsung mobile, you can click here to have a look, also not bad as a mobile photo

We only took photos inside the bridal suite of peninsula, yet by playing around the windows light, curtain, sofa and all the different furniture, the possibility are unlimited

beautiful eyes !!!!

another fav of he day — click here to see the “behind the scene” shot to see at where I took this shot

thanks for arranging such nice a lunch for us, this is one of the best crew meal we ever had !!!

2nd location: central

the dinner at peninsula – sometimes, there is no need for photographer to always stand at the most upfront position, you may get some interesting shots by trying to move back.

nice play, Gordon !!!

another fav of the day — the very second the dinner and farewell ‘re finished, they couldn’t stop giving a big big hug to each other — looked like just finished a big project

congratulations and hope can see you later !!!

post wedding session – angie and martin

simon — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 15:31:10 +0000

Today supposed to be my first day of work after my long vacation, but we had to postpone it because of the typhoon. Instead of today, I ‘ll resume to work in the coming weekend (two weddings on Sat and Sun) — It is going to be busy very soon as I have a long list of wedding and engagement session to shoot in July … …

I go through some of the photos today and would like to share this "post wedding" session to you. Remember Angie and Martin? they had a wedding on a rainy day in Feb, and we had to cancel all morning activities, so finally I offered them a free 4 hours photo session and that ’s why we had this "post wedding" session 1 week after their wedding.

The more I do "post wedding" shoot, the more I like it. In fact, I found Martin was quite anxious on the wedding day because of the weather and all the logistics, however, without all the pressure and time constraint, I found him enjoy so much in this session

And guess what? after a rainy wedding …. we had afull day of sunshine this time !!!

location: Central and Lei Yue Mun

my fav of the day.

our first stop — central

did I say Martin enjoy a lot, see what I mean?

take a rest

2nd stop – Lei Yue Mun

I like the branches that add more details to the photo

post wedding of minako and sam

Hi, I keep the promise to upload the "post wedding" photos of minako and sam today. Before the wedding, we planned to have an e-session, but it turned out that both mina and sam ’s schedule ‘re too tight that we couldn’t make it finally. Instead, just 4 days after their wedding, we had a "post wedding" session.

Can you feel the happiness of the newly wed?

date: 28 nov 2008
make up: polly of faces hk

my fav of the day – it ’s in the middle of the day, so we had a very harsh overhead sunlight. I asked mina to wave the veil and the sunlight made it very beautiful

Anita & Almon already had their pre-wedding & wedding day photos taken, after talked to her, we came out the idea of this Post-Wedding photo session.

The shooting was in Dec 2006. The day was wonderful & we got one of the best weather in all my past outdoor photo sessions.4

Last photo of the day. It was taken just outside Lee Garden at Causeway Bay
