Posting date: May 27th, 2010 | Category: I-do (wedding day) |  I still remember the first time I met Jo and Desmond – in a coffee shop in grand hyatt. At the very first second I saw them, I already felt I met them before, but I was not very sure in which occasion. I finally learned that they were the bridesmaid and groomsman of the wedding of maggie and simon 3 years ago …. …. And, to my surprise, it is THIS wedding in which they met each other and started dating since then. So excited!!! Feel like I witnessed and being part of the wedding.

Posting date: May 11th, 2010 | Category: I-do (wedding day) |  I really can’t remember when is my last time that I can blog a wedding within 1 week after it. I am still having a huge backlog (I guess , over 60 weddings and preweddings) that I haven’t written up here because of my busy schedule in last few months.
However, I couldn’t wait to write up the wedding on last sat – vickie and joseph.
if you are a long time reader of this blog, you may already know vickie is my assistant during the period of 07-08. Since I knew her wedding day, I was so looking forward to this date.
vickie, you ‘re super gorgeous on the day !!!! Here is a sneak preview of the day.

Posting date: March 24th, 2010 | Category: I-do (wedding day), photo shooting technique |  love the post title – it means I got something new in the photos again.
You may notice there are several wedding locations/venues got very very popular among my clients.
for reception venue, AMC, four seasons, peninsula, island shangri la and repulse bay are the most popular
for church, bethanie chapel, St. Margaret church – almost go there once every week during the peak season.
Shooting at the same location every week is a good and bad thing – you get very familiar with the places, but easily get bored at the same time. To avoid getting bored, I ‘ll try my best to get a few new and creative shots every time, if I can get 2-3 new shots on the day, then I am satisfied, and don’t have pressure at all for the rest of the day. 2-3 new shots may sound too less for you, but please remember, we may have over [......]

Posting date: February 9th, 2010 | Category: I-do (wedding day) |  Which church is the most popular among simon ’s client? I ‘d definitely say the St. Margaret church and the Bethanie Chapel (though Bethanie is not an church officially). I can go to these two places almost once every 1-2 weeks during the peak season.
The Catholic Cathedral is not very popular for me, only have 4-5 weddings there every year. Personally, I don’t like all these big catholic church, specifically, their arrangement on wedding day. All of them just look like a wedding factory (sorry about this term), 4-5 weddings a day, one after the other, crowed with all different groups of people, time is always very tight and makes people nervous.
Have said that, all these catholic Churches are very beautiful, both outside and inside. I shot the wedding of Valerie and Andrew at the Catholic Cathedral in last wedding season. Love this couple – always had smile on their [......]

Posting date: October 10th, 2009 | Category: I-do (wedding day) |  what an amazing love story !!!
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 [......]

the whole day summary prepared by tomoko. A brief introduction of tomoko: she joined my team since last year. Prior to joining us, she has been working with NHK for years and with experience producing over hundred documentary films before. I really love her style – documenting a wedding, with lots emotions and details.
