Posting date: January 21st, 2010 | Category: I-do | I believe I am a lucky wedding photographer – always have very nice client, friendly wedding parties and families, beautiful and gorgeous brides at beautiful locations
As you know, in Hong Kong, we have two big fireworks show over the Victoria harbour every year (one is on the 2nd day of Chinese new year, the other is on the 1st of Oct National Day).
In 2009, we had three fireworks show because of the 2009 Asian games opening on Dec 6th.
nothing ‘s luckier than the year of 2009, I had outdoor weddings in two of the fireworks shows and was able to watch the show very close at a very comfortable location. Jennifer and Fan ‘s wedding ‘s one of the two. The couple came from Shanghai to have their wedding in Hong Kong, with only their best friends and close families ‘re invited.
ceremony: Bethanie Chapel
reception: sevva, Central
makeup artist: Man Chan of Miracle
To be honest, I am not very good at shooting fireworks as I didn’t shoot any fireworks before in Hong Kong and tried to avoid the crowded places. Luckily, the photos turned out good, IMHO.
sevva, a very nice location!!!

Posting date: December 30th, 2009 | Category: I-do | can’t imagine that 2009 finishes so fast.
I just had the last weddings yesterday, and will have a few days’ break before the 1st wedding in 2010.
Another beautiful wedding I did on Monday – jennifer and chiu, I did the same day photo slideshow myself. There ‘re so many great images that I had no difficulty preparing the slideshow, it only took me two and a half hour to prepare it (from image transfer, photo selection, editing, slideshow preparation, to video rendering … )
ceremony: bethanie chapel
reception: Harbour Plaza metropolis, Patio

Posting date: December 21st, 2009 | Category: I-do | when I met client, one of the most common request of the style of wedding day photo is “happy and natural”
“natural” – to be natural, I tried to be as little intrusive as possible on the wedding day, just capture the moment (of course, in a beautiful way)
“happy” – that ‘s difficult, I can only capture the happiness but couldn’t create it for my client. I have seen so many clients that got upset by little details of wedding or pushed by the fully packed schedule. It is pity that they just couldn’t enjoy the “big day”
If you asked me to choose one of the happiest wedding in this season, janet and edmond ‘s wedding is definitely one of them. Not only you could always see smiles from them, but truly beautiful smile !!!!!
BTW, Janet looks very very slim and fit. Guess why? ….. ….. She is a yoga instructor …. …. No wonder !!!!
ceremony: bethanie chapel
reception: Aberdeen Marina Club (AMC)
makeup: penny of faces hk
hair stylist: jennifer (worked with her a few times, love her hair styling)

Civil Celebrant: michael Lai (highly recommend)

Posting date: October 15th, 2009 | Category: I-do | Just finished the wedding marathon and finally got some time to update the blog. Almost non-stop shooting since mid Sept. and glad to have a 3 days’ break before resume shooting on Sunday.
Even it could be very tired sometimes, I feel blessed as we had lots of beautiful weddings and people in last few weeks.
The beautiful wedding of Christy and Plato in early Oct.
ceremony: the bethanie chapel
makeup artist: Eva of faces hk
reception: Langham Hotel
the two photos below are my fav of the day – both taken at University of Hong Kong (after the ceremony)
Beautiful light and perfect timing of the flying veil !!!
Really love this photo – A corner at HKU that I never thought we could take good photo before.

Posting date: June 2nd, 2009 | Category: I-do | Bethanie – a very popular location for wedding. During peak season, we could go there 3 or 4 times a month. However, I still love this place a lot.
1) it is really a beautiful place, and has lots of photo opportunity both inside and outdoor
2) compared to to other catholic church, we can have more time and flexibility. Recently, I had a very very bad experience at the Catholic Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception – it was a rainy day and it rained so bad after the ceremony. Even thought there is no other wedding or event after my clients ‘ ceremony, we ‘re all forced to go outside …
3) It is not uncommon to have wedding after wedding for other catholic church.
4) If you have time, you can have a very nice cocktail at the studio at the roof (you can take a look at andrea and ken ‘s wedding here)
getting ready: Excelsior Hotel
ceremony: the bethanie chapel
reception: Aberdeen Marina Club (AMC)
video: Ken of simon.the.photo
My fav ceremony time at Bethanie is after 4:00pm – beautiful sunset light
some interesting details shots
a very special ring shot. I use their engagement session album to hold the rings.

Posting date: January 1st, 2009 | Category: I-do | Happy new year.
I can’t believe 2008 became a history so fast. It is a very challenging and meaningful year for me – the arrival of Shulin changed everything, and it was also the most busiest year since I started taking wedding photo in 2005.
I am excited to have the wedding of kitty and john to end 2008 – my 2nd time to have a new year eve count down wedding at four seasons hotels.
date: 31 dec 2008
ceremony: Bethanie Chapel
reception: Four Seasons Hotel HK
 Happy new year from Ken, Canly and Simon !!!!! Waiting for the countdown !!!!! You can see more crazy “behind the scene” photos on my facebook fan pageppy
We had 1 hr for location shooting in the afternoon, as most of their friends came from oversea, Kitty ‘d like to go with the whole wedding party to some interesting locations in Hong Kong. We decided to go to Central, and finally we went to the “大排檔”on the stanley street.
