Posting date: March 3rd, 2010 | Category: anniversary | a very happy photo session.
I did several anniversary sessions every year, and I always love doing it. Why ??? It is not uncommon that most grooms are not interested in wedding photos, so if a man love to do another photo session with his wife after wedding, the session usually turns out very very sweet !!!!
look forward to this session for a long long time, as they booked it almost 1 year before their wedding (even though I was not their wedding day photographer), so it was booked almost two years before. Thank hazel and derek for having me as your anniversary photographer, really enjoyed a lot on the day.
locations: home, central, Pak Nai, Gold Coast (night shoot)
both hazel and derek love taking photo and they took their DSLR on the day.

Posting date: January 31st, 2010 | Category: engagement | yes, it ’s raining again during the e-session of donna and tony. After several raining e-sessions in last season, I found that there are so many photo opportunities during raining. Of course, I couldn’t make it without a client willing to take photo under rain. Special thanks to donna and tony, especially it rained so bad at night!!! I can still remember - the lower part of donna ’s dress got completely wet, the raindrops on all our faces, my assistant Canly holding the flash and listening to my shouting on the street. But we had a blast and the resulting photos are awesome !!!!!!
Three umbrellas, seven crazy persons. And YES, WE MADE IT (shouting on the street !!!!!!!)
locations: Tai Tam Reservoir, Stanley Market, military cemetery, Central
this one is my fav. The flower pattern, the blue light, the yellow shopping windows light, the reflection on the ground, the raindrops, and donna ’s facial expression. All work perfectly together !!!

Posting date: November 10th, 2009 | Category: engagement, personal | Let’s talk about oversea pre-wedding photos today.
I didn’t do too many oversea photo sessions in last two years. There are several reasons behind.
First, looking at my working schedule and my family life, it is almost impossible to be away from home town for anything over 3-4 days. In addition, I hate flying home and then having to shoot a wedding the day after. there are so many accidents that can happen and I really don’t like taking the risk of it.
Then, I can’t work out the justification of the time and effort needed for oversea assignment. When I stay in Hong Kong, I can shoot 3-4 weddings/pre-weddings a week, and I can still work on post-processing and albums and meet clients for the rest of the time (not to mention, have the time to play with shulin as well), so why spend the extra time on travelling for shooting just 1-2 couples a week.
last, and the most important, I love capturing the happiness and the love of the couple, much more than capturing the magnificent view of a location. I feel so happy when I get comments like “wow, the bride is so beautiful in your photo”, “your photo is so warm” . it is all about people in my style.
But don’t get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with oversea pre-wedding, it just doesn’t fit my style and work schedule very well at the moment. And it is always good to have your photo session at a remote location when you can forget all your works, and no interrupt from your blackberry.
OK, back to clara and kevin, I couldn’t be happier when they flied all the way from Shanghai to HK to have their pre-wedding photo session here.
“Hi Kevin, there are so many nice locations in Shanghai and people in HK love having pre-wedding photo there, why do you come to HK instead?” I asked Kevin
“yes, the locations are nice, but when you see the view everyday, and everyone having the same photos at the same location, you feel bored. And we love your style instead” answered Kevin
Oh Kevin, you got the point !!!!
locations: the Peak, Shek O, Central
Here are my fav “day” and “night” shots

Posting date: November 8th, 2009 | Category: I-do | what a beautiful day !!!!
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?).
ceremony and reception: the peninsula hotel hong kong

Posting date: November 7th, 2009 | Category: portrait | Always love taking photos without pressure. Love to be the portrait photographer of clara. We didn’t have any plan on the day – no specific location, no specific photo or style – just shot whatever I like, and walked around in central. There ‘s so much fun on the day, and sometimes creativity and surprise ‘d follow under this situation.
makeup artist: JustGracy
we started the session at Gracy ‘s new studio. When I saw the steel mat (or plate) on the floor, I believed there ‘s potential of making great photo out of it. Thanks for everyone for working this out, though it ‘was quite awful that everyone lying on the floor at the door. (You can click here to see the behind the scene photo). And thank gracy for sharing your studio with us (but sorry for making a scratch on your newly made makeup table)
after the studio shots, we walk around in central. One of my fav of the day. Thank Canly for suggesting us to go inside. Guess where is it? You can click here to see

Posting date: October 28th, 2009 | Category: engagement | I was always asked by client what kind of wedding I like the most.
big big wedding ?? six – stars hotel ?? oversea wedding ?? magnificent decoration??
after shooting hundreds of weddings in the last four years, I ‘d say these are not important to me any more. Instead, I just love to see my clients love my works, love my style of wedding photography. Nothing happier than seeing your clients loving you, right?
emmy and keith are definitely one of my favorite couple. Since the 1st meeting with emmy, I already know they are super fans of simon.the.photo, I am so looking forward to their photo session and can’t wait to share their photos on this blog.
So, how super fans they are ?? May be emmy can share it here … … I am too shy to say about it … ..
locations: 保良局李兆忠百周年中學 ，central

thanks for getting me to your secondary school

Posting date: August 7th, 2009 | Category: engagement | Since I put up the photo shot under rain in the post of e-session of gloria and vico, I got a lot of positive feedbacks from friends and clients. I couldn’t believe I got another chance so soon to shoot in rain again.
It is the e-session of connie and ah nam. Since we started the night shooting in Central, it rained and didn’t seem to stop. Instead of keep on waiting, I discussed with them the idea to shoot under the rain. Thanks for their trust and we could manage to get the following wonderful shots.
locations: HKU, stanley market, military cemetery, central
makeup artist: Elaw Wong
Let’s push to the extreme. Ah nam did great !!!!
the rain didn’t stop, let ‘s do some crazy shots !
