Posting date: January 21st, 2010 | Category: I-do | I believe I am a lucky wedding photographer – always have very nice client, friendly wedding parties and families, beautiful and gorgeous brides at beautiful locations
As you know, in Hong Kong, we have two big fireworks show over the Victoria harbour every year (one is on the 2nd day of Chinese new year, the other is on the 1st of Oct National Day).
In 2009, we had three fireworks show because of the 2009 Asian games opening on Dec 6th.
nothing ‘s luckier than the year of 2009, I had outdoor weddings in two of the fireworks shows and was able to watch the show very close at a very comfortable location. Jennifer and Fan ‘s wedding ‘s one of the two. The couple came from Shanghai to have their wedding in Hong Kong, with only their best friends and close families ‘re invited.
ceremony: Bethanie Chapel
reception: sevva, Central
makeup artist: Man Chan of Miracle
To be honest, I am not very good at shooting fireworks as I didn’t shoot any fireworks before in Hong Kong and tried to avoid the crowded places. Luckily, the photos turned out good, IMHO.
sevva, a very nice location!!!

Posting date: August 7th, 2009 | Category: engagement | Since I put up the photo shot under rain in the post of e-session of gloria and vico, I got a lot of positive feedbacks from friends and clients. I couldn’t believe I got another chance so soon to shoot in rain again.
It is the e-session of connie and ah nam. Since we started the night shooting in Central, it rained and didn’t seem to stop. Instead of keep on waiting, I discussed with them the idea to shoot under the rain. Thanks for their trust and we could manage to get the following wonderful shots.
locations: HKU, stanley market, military cemetery, central
makeup artist: Elaw Wong
Let’s push to the extreme. Ah nam did great !!!!
the rain didn’t stop, let ‘s do some crazy shots !

Posting date: June 22nd, 2009 | Category: engagement | If you come in to read this post because of the post title, I may disappoint you.
I get asked by so many clients if I can take good photos on a rainy day, the answer is yes and no.
I understand a lot of my clients love to see ” blue sky / white cloud / sun set ” in their engagement photos, if you expect these, I ‘d never be able to give you the same feel / style on a rainy day. There is nothing wrong with these expectation from clients, in fact, I find it much easier to take happy photo without the worry of having the dress, make-up, hair or equipments getting wet.
The weather in last three weeks ‘re so unstable that almost all the outdoor sessions ‘re postponed. I shot the session of gloria and vico three weeks ago, it was also a rainy day. The weather was so bad that we had to stop shooting several times throughout the day (take a look at my facebook page to see how bad it was photo & video).
When we returned home at around 7:00pm and changed into evening dress for night shooting, the rain stopped. As I worried that it would rain again, I suggested gloria to have photo shooting just at home. However, we went to Central finally as she like outdoor shooting so much. And you know what? — soon after we arrived at Central, it started raining again. I moved around my flash and tried to see if I can get something different, all ‘re done very very fast as I was afraid the rain would get worse very very soon.
Back to the the question “Is it possible to take good photos on a rainy day” — I believe the following the picture can tell you the answer. This is definitely one of my favourite in last two months ‘ engagement session.
OK. having said all that, I still prefer to shoot on a sunny day … … 
location: HKU, Shek O, Central

However, with her strong determination and lots of preparation works, we finally get a permission to go inside.
location: HKU and the U-hall, Stanley Market, Central
makeup artist: Man Chan of Miracle (her recent interview by esdlife)
the winding stair that she loves a lot
 BTW, Canly helped me to take some behind the scene videos on the day, I have put them onto my facebook fans page, Don’t forget to become my fans if you haven’t joined yet.
