becky and ray

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

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 !!!

ceremony: bethanie chapel
reception: parkview hotel
makeup artist: rainbow (tel: 92586602)

      Hi Candy,

      I only use small flashes (like canon 580, 550e) in all of my jobs. there is no need to use big studio light, unless you want to overpower the sun (which I seldom do in all of my jobs).

      As I start, I suggest people to invest the money in light modifier (eg, umbrella, softbox, gel, grid, gobo …..), they are more important than the light itself.

      The key to successful lighting is — learning to modify the light, it ’s not getting the biggest power of the light you can buy.

      hope it helps.
