wedding of valerie and andrew at Catholic Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception

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 face, especially Andrea, you could hear the big laughters from him (something like haha haha) throughout the whole day.

Love the following pic a lot. My fav shot of valerie of the day. When we arrived, there ‘re so many people at the church (from previous wedding). And Valerie had to wait inside the limo as there is no bridal room there … … Look at the way Valerie looking at the church, you can see how much she looked forward to her own wedding. Always love this kind of window reflection shot, the results are always unexpected !!!

amazing !!! what an amazing love story .. wedding of jodie and alvin

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 full of happiness, joy and tears.

ceremony: 循道衛理聯合教會安素堂
reception: hong kong parkview

Look at alvin! This is what love and happiness are !!!! My fav of the day !!!

I love bethanie
- wedding of kaman and kahing

Bethanie – a very popular location for wedding. During peak season, we could go there 3 or 4 times a month. However, I still love this place a lot.

1) it is really a beautiful place, and has lots of photo opportunity both inside and outdoor

2) compared to to other catholic church, we can have more time and flexibility. Recently, I had a very very bad experience at the Catholic Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception – it was a rainy day and it rained so bad after the ceremony. Even thought there is no other wedding or event after my clients ‘ ceremony, we ‘re all forced to go outside …

3) It is not uncommon to have wedding after wedding for other catholic church.

4) If you have time, you can have a very nice cocktail at the studio at the roof (you can take a look at andrea and ken ‘s wedding here)

getting ready: Excelsior Hotel
ceremony: the bethanie chapel
reception: Aberdeen Marina Club (AMC)

My fav ceremony time at Bethanie is after 4:00pm – beautiful sunset light

wedding of miranda and anthony

back to the university time … … anthony joined a singing contest. The song he sang was “我願意” … … when he was on stage, the one he was thinking of was miranda, even thought they hadn’t started dating yet at that time.

So the song was so meaningful to him and he sang this song to miranda again on their wedding day.

ceremony: St. Teresa ‘s Church
reception: Sheraton Hong Kong Hotel
video: ken of simon.the.photo

I have to say, anthony is really good at singing, and no wonder he finally won the singing contest in university
