Posting date: December 9th, 2009 | Category: engagement | In my first meeting with cordelia and fred, cordelia had a very special request for me in their engagement photo session.
“Hi Simon, I have a special request … … “ asked cordelia.
“ yep, what ‘s that ?”
“I ‘d like to wear glasses in front of the camera, I just can’t get used to my look without glasses, it is not me!!” replied cordelia.
“No problem, why not?” I answered quickly.
However, after this quick answer. I am thinking if I had any other bride wearing glasses in their photo session – the answer is NO.
Did I see any similar bridal photo photo before on internet – the answer is NO.
sounds interesting and challenging, right?
HI cordelia and fred, thanks and see you soon again in your wedding in Jan 2010

Posting date: December 5th, 2008 | Category: I-do | ha ha. I am not talking about bit torrent, it ‘s the wedding of Bertina and Telun in Sept.
it was as very relaxing day, no game, no bridesmaid, no groomsman, no need to travel around, in fact, we stayed at home whole day until the ceremony at 5:00pm.
We took a few portrait of them at home in the afternoon, then we planned to continue the portrait session at the club house. Unluckily, soon after we started, we ‘re stopped by the club house staff … … Still wondering why they ‘re not allowed to take a few wedding photo at their own club house !!!!!! 
date: 28 sept 2008
ceremony: Methodist International Church, HK
reception: The Hong Kong Jockey Club Happy Valley Club house
video: Ken of Simon.The.Photo
makeup artist: Maggie Li
Don’t worry, we could still take beautiful photos at home !!!!! This was taken on their bed !!!!!

Posting date: November 14th, 2008 | Category: wedding photographers, weddings | This is definitely one of my fav wedding in Sept !!!! Not only I had a wonderful couple, wonderful wedding party, but a chance to work with a US award winning wedding photographer as well.
arron is a WPJA award winning wedding photographer from California and came to Hong Kong to shoot the wedding of Catherine and Kevin here. I got to know him because he hired me to second shoot with him for this wedding. (Sorry, I can’t post any photos of this wedding here … …) As he stayed in Hong Kong for a few days, I invited him to help shooting in one of my wedding, and it ‘s so inspiring to see a foreigner shooting a local Chinese wedding.
date: sept 27, 2008
ROM: wedding registry at Hong Kong City Hall
BBQ reception: Royal View Hotel
one of my fav of the day.
It ‘s very difficult to take photo in the cross Harbour tunnel, not to mention a wedding photo inside.
ida and errol hired an open top double deck bus for their transportation, and that ‘s why I got a chance to take this photo inside
arron in action !!!

Posting date: June 7th, 2008 | Category: I-do | Hi agnes and jim,
thanks for your trust on me in your wedding. there is a little story. About 1 month before the wedding, we arranged a pre-meeting to discuss the rundown. However, I forgot to mark it in my personal calendar and made them wait for me in the coffee shop whole night. At that time, I guessed they must be very worry about me … …
On the contrary, they ‘re very nice on their wedding day and showed a lot of trust on me. Big big thanks to you !!!!!
date: 12 jan 2008
ceremony: Eden Marriage Registry, TST
reception: Langham Place Hotel
this is the fav of the day. location: the swimming pool at 42/F of the Langham Place Hotel. I decided to go there at around 5:30pm as the weather of the day was very good and we expected that there would be very good light at sunset, and I was right. The cool color reflection from the pool (lucky that we didn’t have other swimmer, the water was very quiet) made the photo even more interesting and gave more contrast.

Posting date: May 29th, 2007 | Category: I-do, weddings | The wedding of Tina & Man Po was wonderful on last Sunday at InterContinental. They ‘re a perfect couple for every wedding photographer — they ‘re so sweet whole day in front of the camera and I could take a lot of moment shots for them easily.
We also had "wonderful" weather — in the morning, there was sunshine & everything ran smoothly. After the lunch, we planned to have location shooting at the car park of Ocean Terminal. However, when we ‘re on our way there, the weather turned bad and a big thunderstorm came so that we had to turn back to hotel finally. (I found out later that we had a "yellow rain" warning signal this afternoon.)
So we had to change our plan and just do the location shooting at the hotel. Even though we only had a very busy hotel lobby for location shooting, they enjoyed the moment a lot and I got some of the best pictures for the whole day. My partner Ken and I ‘re very excited and we spent over 1.5 hour there.
Before the wedding, Tina & Man Po told me they ‘d like me to show a few pictures of the day during the banquet, and finally I had selected 7 pictures from this 1.5 hour shooting, they are all my favorite pictures. In fact, I found it difficult to choose, as there are so many great pictures.
My favorite one. It was raining outside and we had rain drops and moisture on the glass wall. Tina just looked gorgeous!!!
