Most of the girl would dream – one day she walks into the hotel ballroom in their beautiful wedding gown, in front of all their friends and families. However, virginia and Jerome liked to have something special, that they finally decided to wear the very tranditional chinese dress at the start of the banquet at four seasons hotel. Really Cool !!!

Posting date: March 24th, 2010 | Category: I-do (wedding day), photo shooting technique | - (Comments are closed)  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: March 18th, 2010 | Category: I-do (wedding day) | - (Comments are closed)  this is the 2nd day of the wedding of clara and thomas. All bridal pickup game, Chinese rituals, and the wedding ceremony were done on day 1, so the 2nd was pretty relaxing. We didn’t start shooting until 11:00 pm, thanks for that, lots of good sleep the night before. We started shooting at Central, thought I have done uncounted no. of shooting here, this is my 1st time to have shooting here on a Sunday morning.
Central on sunday morning is very very different. It ‘s so quiet, not many people and traffic. Though it ‘s almost middle of the day, but we could still find beautiful directional sunlight through the gaps of the buildings.
I had mentioned in my previous blog post that both clara and thomas ‘re very nice couple. Working with them is such a joyful experience. Not only are they nice to us, but they are nice [......]

Posting date: February 22nd, 2010 | Category: I-do (wedding day) | - (Comments are closed)  No matter how much you have planned, there are always surprises on a wedding day. I ‘ve seen lots of bride got upset and ruin the mood and her own wedding.
Recently I got an email from a bride, she said she got upset on the day because of all the hassles – not enough sleep, rushing schedule, the arguing wedding party … … My respond is, from my experience, there is no perfect wedding, no matter how much you have prepared. And that ‘s all these “little surprises” that make your wedding memorable and unique.
I love the wedding of clara and thomas a lot. It ‘s so relaxing on the day, not only they separated the wedding into two days, but they are indeed very relaxing, nice, easy going couple.
Something really terrible happened on the day. They planned to have the wedding ceremony at 3:30 pm. Guess what? the celebrant [......]

Posting date: February 4th, 2010 | Category: I-do (wedding day) | - (Comments are closed)  one of the most commonly asked question during client meeting is what kind of wedding I like most.
Happy wedding is definitely my answer.
lydia and wales ‘ wedding is one of the happiest wedding in last wedding season. Not only we have happy couple, but we have happy wedding party and families as well. I was very very impressed that when they finished the wedding ceremony, both of their parents came out on stage and gave the blessings to the newly wed. Very very touching !!!!

Posting date: December 19th, 2009 | Category: I-do (wedding day), personal | - (Comments are closed)  firstly, let ‘s have a quick update of myself.
From my experience, after the very busy season from Sept – Dec, I will start to get sick in Jan. This was the case in last two years. But it happened earlier this year, both Canly and I got sick since early dec. It was really tough as all wedding jobs ‘re very demanding and we had to work long hours.
When I started to get well last week and thought that the sickness was over, my daughter Shulin got inflected (from playgroup I believed), and started to vomit since last wed. And after that, my whole family got inflected and we all had vomit and diarrhea since last Thu and Fri. Yes, I had diarrhea, a disaster for a wedding photographer (and I had wedding jobs on last Thu, Sat and Sun).
Thanks that the anti-diarrhea medicine really worked, though I was very [......]
