laughter and tear, grace and bobby

If my memory is right, I never put a photo only seeing the back of the bride as the 1st photo of a blog post. The reason I love this photo was the expression of the bridesmaids that really reflected the joy of the wedding day. I always find difficult to take photo of bridesmaids like this as most of the bridesmaids are very sensitive to camera and some of them are even not willing to be included in all pictures.

Lucky that I was the only photographer for grace and bobby ’s wedding, no 2nd photographer, no video. By shooting alone and being unobtrusive, uninterrupted and staying focus, it was easier for me to take candid and natural shot like this.

What did you do in university
-part two-wedding of yann and alex

Hi Hi, finally got some time to update the blog before the dragon boat festival.

ceremony and reception: Aberdeen Marina Club (AMC)
makeup artist: polly of faces hk
video: ken of simon.the.photo

shot the wedding of yann and alex almost three weeks ago. You already learned in part one that they met each other when yann was in the student society, so they invited a lot of their “So” friend  to their wedding.
Just after having a group photo taken, they suddenly played, what they called it “dem cheer” – which is usually played in O Camp. Sorry, I think I graduated too long ago and I have never heard this “dem cheer” before But it really looks very interesting

just after the wedding ceremony in the afternoon, we had 30 min free time for a portrait session. However, the weather was so hot outside, we finally decided to stay inside the marquee.
really love the following [......]

wedding of emily and paul

So excited to be the photographer for the wedding of Emily and Paul. The first time I met them was back in mid 2006 and I did their engagement photo in Nov 2006.

In last few months, more and more of my clients chose to have a wedding lunch reception instead of a evening banquet, and Emily and Paul are one of them. I like this concept as well, as the atmosphere is always more relax, and guests are willing to stay longer even the reception is finished.

BTW, Paul is also a photography lover, with lots of cameras and he is also learning from a Hong Kong wedding photography master as well. Hi Paul, look forward to seeing your new works on your blog !!!

Wedding date: 18 Nov 2007 Ceremony and Lunch Reception: Harbour Plaza Metropolis, Patio. Location shooting at night: The Hong Kong University

A wedding in rain
- angie and martin

I shot the wedding of Angie and Martin last Saturday at AMC.

As they already had the ceremony at Thailand a few months ago, we had plenty of time in the morning and our original plan was having outdoor location shooting from 9:00 am – 3:00 pm. However, as the weather was very bad, we decided to cancel it finally

When I arrive at Aberdeen Marina Club (AMC) in the afternoon, it was still raining. But we decided to go out for a while. It ’s interesting to include the umbrella as part of the pic

wedding or rita and michael

Wedding of Rita and Michael was on July 8, 2007. It was a very hot day (34 degree !!), the ceremony & reception ‘re held at the marquee of Harbour Plaza Metropolis, Patio.

Before the ceremony, We took some pic.  While they ’re staying inside the coffee shop, I shot outside the window and used the reflection on the windows to see the marquee. I had to move around until I could get a nice reflection. I could feel that they are having a lot of fun even though I couldn’t hear them through the windows.
