Remember I mentioned before that there is no perfect wedding but surprises.
enjoyed a lot to be the wedding photographer of ron and albert. such a nice and happy couple, no matter what happened … …
Just 5 min before the wedding ceremony to be started, they suddenly found that they left the wedding rings in hotel, and no way they could manage to get it back on time … ….
At that time, I was really worrying myself and thought they ‘re going to be very very upset and might start to blame others. Didn’t dare to say anything but keep silence (BTW, should I keep on shooting photos if they start arguing, look very upset … … wedding photojournalism ??? ) To my surprise, just within 1 min, they smiled again and forgot about it completely, looked like nothing happened. If I don’t tell you this here, you would not notice at all in the photos below.
I was really impressed by this couple, even though I have been to uncounted number of weddings before. I couldn’t stop myself asking albert at night “How can you be such a happy guy?”
Wish I can have such a happy and nice couple in all my wedding works.
ceremony: club house of Leighton Hill
reception: island shangri la

some of my fav bridal shots of ron. all taken at the club house
I think I am very lucky, how come all my clients are so beautiful. this photo was shot under available light, we had very beautiful and directional sun light from the window. straight from camera, just a little bit burn and dodge. BTW, love her dress, lots of details, and she looks very very slim !!!
like this iron/glass gate a lot. by putting a flash behind, the glass could already give a very beautiful diffused light.
the ceremony location. very nice, isn’t it?
it was challenging as the ceremony started at 1200pm, we had a sunny day with harsh light coming almost overhead.
it is exactly one year after I took the pre-wedding photo of charis and tsui kit. since then, we became good friend of each other and I am so looking forward to their wedding day.
Honestly, I personally feel that tsui kit has a “hyperactive” problem , he just never stop, full of energy anytime, anywhere !!!
But, on the wedding day, I learn the other side of him, and it is very touching to me.
In the middle of the day, charis took me into a room and asked me to take some photos of a present that she received the day before – this is the last present she received from tsui kit as his girl friend.
What is it? This is a box full of notes, paper, letter … … Since the 1st day they met eight years ago, tsui kit believed that he ‘s going to spend the rest of his life with charis. Day by day, he wrote down what he felt about charis onto this little notes, paper, he never showed them to charis for eight years, and never told her about this. He kept this box of papers to himself, until the day before their wedding, it became the last present to his girl friend.
First, we had wonderful weather on the wedding day of alice and bosco, in the photos below, you can easily find beautiful window light and lots of sunlight outdoor.
Second, when we arrived at Central in the morning, we found out the old Central police station was open for public and we could go inside for location shooting. Great !!!
Third, not only you can always see smiling faces from alice and bosco, but their families and friends as well . Perfect day.
Last but not least, we had a pretty pretty bride. All my team members agreed that alice looked like a gorgeous actress on the day (like a mix of 鍾嘉欣 and 徐淑敏, what do you think?).
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.
it ‘s not easy that jodie and alvin could be together today.
It ‘s a long story … … one day when jodie flipped through some old books, she found a letter. it was a letter that alvin wrote to her over 10 years years ago. At that time, jodie didn’t notice alvin at all and had no interest developing any relationship with him.
out of curiosity after she saw this letter again, she searched alvin ‘s name on ICQ (still remember ICQ ??). Guess what ?? Alvin ‘s ICQ account popped up at the top of the search. Despite the fact that alvin was already working aboard, they started to communicate through ICQ for two years and that ‘s how they started their relationship.
it is a miracle and god ‘s work that they exchanged the vows, the rings in the church today. A wedding that ‘s full of happiness, joy and tears.
The peak season is ON, can’t imagine that it starts so soon. Thanks for all your support, bookings from September to March are completely FULL now (no more new client can be accepted). I hope that I can keep updating this blog during this peak season, and share more and more great photos with all of you !!!!
As schedule in Sept and Oct is very tight, I ‘ll stop meeting new client during this period and priority will be given to all the existing client. Meeting will be resumed in Nov.
I shot connie and vincent ‘s wedding few weeks ago. The weather was so hot outside and we stayed inside the hotel most of the time. Having said that, peninsula is such a nice hotel that we ‘re never short of beautiful and interesting locations.
These two photos ‘re taken after the finish of the banquet. Really love the first one, light ‘s beautiful and the big mirror behind was perfect !!
there is a story behind the following two photos that I ‘d like to share – a story about my photography approach.
It was the wedding of winnie and marcus, around 6:00pm, everyone was taking a rest to prepare for the cocktail. Not many guest at the cocktail area, so I took the time to take some shots of the decoration. After taking a few shots of the (blank) backdrop, I ‘d like to add some elements to it to make it more “alive”. So I set up the camera on tripod and WAIT for something to happen in front of the backdrop. In fact, I was anticipating children running around (it is not uncommon, is it?). After 1-2 min, a waiter walked across and I got the 1st shot below. I love it, better than a blank backdrop and it looked more interesting. After a few min., nothing interesting happened, my assistant Canly asked me “ What are you waiting for?” , “ waiting for something unexpected” I answered. the very second I said this, to my surprise, winnie finished changing wedding dress and walked across the backdrop — Wow, that ‘s how I managed to get second shot below.
So, do you think it is by anticipation or by luck to get this photo ??
, he just never stop, full of energy anytime, anywhere !!!
