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 19th, 2010 | Category: engagement (pre-wedding) |  If you ask me, “studio or location shooting, which one do I like more” My answer is always outdoor location shooting. Even having been to the same place lots of time before, I always find something different every time, – no matter the weather, the light, and the people, everything can be different, and something new or challenging can always be happened.
It ’s a hot sunny day pre-wedding for charlotte and kelvin. walking on the main stanley market street, we ‘re all attracted by the mini bus selling ice-cream. Without much thought, I asked them if they like to have ice-cream for the photos. That ’s how I got the photos below …. ….
“Dont’ limit yourself by the location, the limit is only your imagination”
locations: inspiration lake, stanley market, central

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: June 20th, 2010 | Category: engagement (pre-wedding) |  After shooting e-sessions in so many rainy days, we finally got a beautiful sunny day for boey and andrew. The weather was so good, especially in the morning.
With such beautiful weather, most of the photos ‘re shot using available light only this time.
location: Stanley Market, Tai Tam reservoir, Shek O, Central
one of my fav of the day – taken at the Tai Tam reservoir
love this shot so much, very beautiful sunlight from the back
at the top of the world !!!
Posting date: June 19th, 2010 | Category: engagement (pre-wedding) |  this is another challenging photo session
everything was in a rush this time, when jojo and afred confirmed their booking, it was only three months left before their wedding day in early July next month. And we just did the engagment shoot last month. As we didn’t have much time left, we couldn’t postpone the shooting even though the weather forecast was very very bad (with thunderstorm ).
It was good that it didn’t rain at all when we started soho central in the morning. Our original 2nd location was Shek O. When we arrived, the weather was still looking good. However, the very second we finished our lunch, jojo had her costum change and I pressed the camera shutter, it started pouring !!!!! And we had to wait and wait in car, yet it didn’t look like the weather ‘d get better.
Finally, we only got three photos in Shek O (YES, [......]

Posting date: May 24th, 2010 | Category: engagement (pre-wedding) |  lovin it !!!
shooting in school is getting more and more popular in recent months’ pre-wedding sessions. I have already been to different schools 4-5 times just in last two months.
But I never have a couple dressed in their school uniform. Kimmie and Leo are the first this time.
I never suggest wearing school uniform to my clients before, as I think it is not suitable for every client and the photos can look cheesy sometimes. I have seen lots of “school uniform pre-wedding photos” on internet that look awful, with wrong setup, wrong makeup, wrong pose … ….
So when I started the photo session of kimmie and leo, I have a little bit of worry, but that feeling was gone once I pressed the shutter. Why? look at the photos below, they just look like real students, and look so cute !!!!!! A big thumb up to them, not [......]
