Posting date: July 22nd, 2011 | Category: engagement (pre-wedding) |  there is always a “love and hate” relationship with summer time for wedding photographer.
HATE: it is so hot now and it ’s really very tough shooting pre-wedding outdoor, not to mention, the humidity and mosquito … … In addition, there is less wedding (that means less business) in the summer time because of the raining and typhoon weather .. … that ’s why so many photographers organizing oversea pre-wedding tour during this period … …
LOVE: it is the perfect time for me to take pre wedding photo at the beach. shooting photos with your feet in the cool sea water is just a joy. I feel so excited and get inspired if the client loves to have photos on the beach, and I really don’t care if my camera or lens get dirty or damaged with the salty water or the sand. Of course, I don’t need you to take [......]

Posting date: February 25th, 2011 | Category: engagement (pre-wedding) |  one of the sweetest couple I have ever met!!!!! I can still remember when we finished taking photos at Shek O after sunset, Canly, Polly and I ‘re playing on the beach and taking photo of ourselves. Suddenly, we found that we lost them … … Guess what ??? We finally found them kissing each other at a corner of the beach!!! OMG!!!!! Soooooooooo Sweeeeeeeet !!!!! Not to mention all the little moments of the day, I got a strong feeling that we ‘re not taking pre-wedding photos, instead, it looked like they just started dating each other
So you can imagine it was really a joy taking photo of them!

a lot of people asked me if I feel bored always shooting at the same location. Let me tell you something first. Before I became [......]

Posting date: August 30th, 2010 | Category: engagement (pre-wedding) |  a very quick update:
after 3 weeks’ holiday, I resumed shooting last week. (in fact, just no shooting, but still lots of post processing works).
It was a wonderful holiday – shulin started her two-years old class two weeks ago, and I could stay in the classroom on the first few days and this was really a wonderful and joyful experience. Shulin now have to stay in class on her own, and she gets used to it very soon, just cried on the 1st two days. It is very amazing that children can learn things so fast and she really brings lots of happiness to us.
Apart from the several pre-wedding shoots these two weeks, it is so busy this week – we are going to leave our home in new territories and move to kowloon by end of this week. We have been living in Tai Po for over 10 years, this [......]

Posting date: August 10th, 2010 | Category: engagement (pre-wedding), photo shooting technique |  one of the most most common question I got asked by client is “which location is the best for pre-wedding photo session?”
My answer is always, “for my photo shooting style, location is not important at all. shooting wide in pre-wedding session is not my favorite, instead, I am always looking for light, abstract details and emotions before looking at the background”
when I posted on my facebook that HKU is under renovation last month, I got lots of emails and messages from clients that expressing their worries that it ’s not good to take photo there. My answer to them, ” don’t worry, it ’s going to be OK”
trust me, the background of a location is the least factor for me to consider. With a happy couple (this is more important for me), good lighting and imagination, everywhere is possible for good photos.
again, there is no limit, the limit is only [......]

Posting date: July 29th, 2010 | Category: engagement (pre-wedding), personal |  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 [......]

Posting date: February 22nd, 2010 | Category: I-do (wedding day) |  No matter how much you have planned, there are always surprises on a wedding day. I ‘ve seen lots of bride got upset and ruin the mood and her own wedding.
Recently I got an email from a bride, she said she got upset on the day because of all the hassles – not enough sleep, rushing schedule, the arguing wedding party … … My respond is, from my experience, there is no perfect wedding, no matter how much you have prepared. And that ‘s all these “little surprises” that make your wedding memorable and unique.
I love the wedding of clara and thomas a lot. It ‘s so relaxing on the day, not only they separated the wedding into two days, but they are indeed very relaxing, nice, easy going couple.
Something really terrible happened on the day. They planned to have the wedding ceremony at 3:30 pm. Guess what? the celebrant [......]

Posting date: December 9th, 2009 | Category: engagement (pre-wedding) |  In my first meeting with cordelia and fred, cordelia had a very special request for me in their engagement photo session.
“Hi Simon, I have a special request … … “ asked cordelia.
“ yep, what ‘s that ?”
“I ‘d like to wear glasses in front of the camera, I just can’t get used to my look without glasses, it is not me!!” replied cordelia.
“No problem, why not?” I answered quickly.
However, after this quick answer. I am thinking if I had any other bride wearing glasses in their photo session – the answer is NO.
Did I see any similar bridal photo photo before on internet – the answer is NO.
sounds interesting and challenging, right?
HI cordelia and fred, thanks and see you soon again in your wedding in Jan 2010
locations: Central, Shek O, home
been to Shek O hundred times. No rush, no planned (or must have) shots required, the day was so relaxed [......]
