Posting date: June 17th, 2011 | Category: engagement (pre-wedding), personal |  In last two weeks, I was contacted by several wedding magazines for interview regarding my opinion on oversea pre wedding. So guess what? I turned down all these interviews finally. why? Oversea pre wedding is getting more and more popular in last two years, it’s so popular that it starts to become a COMMODITY. However, if you ‘ve followed my blog for a while, you may notice that I didn’t do any oversea pre-wedding session in last two years. As I always tell my client — first, location is the least important element in my photo, second, there are so many places in Hong Kong that are so beautiful, together with the additional time and money required for oversea job, I much prefer staying in hk for pre wedding.
I feel glad (and lucky) that there are still so many clients that love having pre-wedding photos in Hong Kong and always bring [......]

Posting date: June 15th, 2010 | Category: I-do (wedding day) |  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 … …
love this wedding very much
ceremony: the helena may

Posting date: December 19th, 2009 | Category: I-do (wedding day), personal |  firstly, let ‘s have a quick update of myself.
From my experience, after the very busy season from Sept – Dec, I will start to get sick in Jan. This was the case in last two years. But it happened earlier this year, both Canly and I got sick since early dec. It was really tough as all wedding jobs ‘re very demanding and we had to work long hours.
When I started to get well last week and thought that the sickness was over, my daughter Shulin got inflected (from playgroup I believed), and started to vomit since last wed. And after that, my whole family got inflected and we all had vomit and diarrhea since last Thu and Fri. Yes, I had diarrhea, a disaster for a wedding photographer (and I had wedding jobs on last Thu, Sat and Sun).
Thanks that the anti-diarrhea medicine really worked, though I was very [......]

Posting date: June 16th, 2009 | Category: I-do (wedding day), video |  on the wedding day, jason had a crazy idea to play basketball with the wedding party in the afternoon.
Though the weather was a little bit too hot, I love the idea, especially, we could have a lot of fun with such a big group of awesome people.

Posting date: November 14th, 2008 | Category: wedding photographers, weddings |  This is definitely one of my fav wedding in Sept !!!! Not only I had a wonderful couple, wonderful wedding party, but a chance to work with a US award winning wedding photographer as well.
arron is a WPJA award winning wedding photographer from California and came to Hong Kong to shoot the wedding of Catherine and Kevin here. I got to know him because he hired me to second shoot with him for this wedding. (Sorry, I can’t post any photos of this wedding here … …) As he stayed in Hong Kong for a few days, I invited him to help shooting in one of my wedding, and it ‘s so inspiring to see a foreigner shooting a local Chinese wedding.

Posting date: November 1st, 2008 | Category: I-do (wedding day) |  iris and sunny ‘s wedding marked the finish of October – a very very busy month, lots of wedding and pre-wedding sessions … …
Iris and Sunny already married in Guam a few day ago, so the day should be very relax … … however, I was requested to arrive at the hotel at 7:00am in the morning.
On arrival at the hotel,
I asked “Iris, why do you have to start so early? The whole afternoon is free …”, Iris said, “it ‘s because of you … … I like to have more time for you to take photo of me”
It ‘s so encouraging to hear this, but at the same time, I feel that my clients are having higher and higher expectations of my works.
