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.

wedding of my dear assistant

4597884163_28d0faac4f_o

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.

ceremony: st. teresa church

reception: mandarin oriental Hong Kong

happy wedding of janet and edmond

4200181859_3b264b4851

when I met client, one of the most common request of the style of wedding day photo is “happy and natural”

“natural” – to be natural, I tried to be as little intrusive as possible on the wedding day, just capture the moment (of course, in a beautiful way)

“happy” – that ‘s difficult, I can only capture the happiness but couldn’t create it for my client. I have seen so many clients that got upset by little details of wedding or pushed by the fully packed schedule. It is pity that they just couldn’t enjoy the “big day”

If you asked me to choose one of the happiest wedding in this season, janet and edmond  ‘s wedding is definitely one of them. Not only you could always see smiles from them, but truly beautiful smile !!!!!
BTW, Janet looks very very slim and fit. Guess why? ….. ….. She is a yoga instructor [......]

a beautiful sunset wedding
– tracey and danny

I did several weddings at the Atrium room of island Shangri-La before, but I was really impressed by the wedding of tracey and danny. Perfect timing of the wedding ceremony with beautiful sunset light.

I didn’t met tracey until a few days before the wedding. Thanks for her trust on me and changed the rundown, the time of the ceremony and the setup of the venue, so that we could have such a beautiful sunset wedding

ceremony and reception: Atrium, Island Shangri-La

beautiful wedding, beautiful light.
At the same time, it was a challenge for photography with such a strong directional light

my fav bridal portrait of tracey. love the details of the veil very much

a box of love and memories
– charis and tsui kit

it is exactly one year after I took the pre-wedding photo of charis and tsui kit. since then, we became good friend of each other and I am so looking forward to their wedding day.

Honestly, I personally feel that tsui kit has a “hyperactive” problem , he just never stop, full of energy anytime, anywhere !!!

But, on the wedding day, I learn the other side of him, and it is very touching to me.

In the middle of the day, charis took me into a room and asked me to take some photos of a present that she received the day before – this is the last present she received from tsui kit as his girl friend.

What is it? This is a box full of notes, paper, letter … … Since the 1st day they met eight years ago, tsui kit believed that he ‘s going to spend the rest [......]

day and night, how time flies  … …. I have been expecting to be the wedding photographer of lina for a long long time … … In fact, it is over xx years !!!!!! (Oh, I can’t tell how many years exactly)
