Posting date: September 27th, 2011 | Category: I-do (wedding day) |  never thought that the peak season arrive so soon, schedule is fully packed in next few weeks. In order to maintain quality service to all my existing clients, I made a decision to stop meeting new client before end of Oct (details here) . Understanding that there may be loss of future business, but I think this is far more important giving the best to my clients than taking business.
I always hope to write about every weddings and pre-weddings photos here, but the fact is, it is getting more and more difficult for me. So, if you can’t see your photos here, don’t worry, there is nothing wrong with your photos, it is just because of my busy schedule.
Anyway, love to share the same day photo edit of the wedding of vicky and daniel here, which I did last week.
ceremony: bethanie chapel
reception: four seasons hotel hong kong
make up artist: polly [......]

Posting date: September 5th, 2011 | Category: I-do (wedding day) |  Five years ago, when Ada recruited Kevin for her company, she never though this new colleague would turn out to be the another half of her life. As ada said, she thought office relationship was a joke, never imagined that she would find a life partner in the office.
After 5 years, ada, talent development executive of Ogilvy Public Relation, and kevin, now the agency’s digital strategy manager, married last month at the HKCEC. As kevin said, ada is always a happy, creative and positive person, and it was truly reflected from all the details of their wedding – the bright and vivid color theme, the wedding montage, the colorful candy corner, the funny photo corner (click here to have a look of the photo corner), and last but not least, her hip-hop performance in the banquet, everything was just awesome! !!!!
Our schedule in the afternoon was very flexible, instead [......]

Posting date: July 20th, 2011 | Category: I-do (wedding day) |  When I had the pre meeting with brenda and holger before the wedding day, they had a very special request that they likes to have some portraits that could really represent the city life of Hong Kong. And we finally decided to have the location photo session at the streets just outside the Landmark and Alexandra House building. As you can imagine that there is really the busiest area of the Central area, and it’s quite challenging for me. And this is not a common place for photo for most of the my clients as they don’t like it because they work here and this place is too common for them.
However, for brenda and Holger, as they live and work overseas most of the time, they love the city landscape a lot that the decision of having the wedding in hong kong is a no brainer and having some portraits [......]

Posting date: June 26th, 2011 | Category: engagement (pre-wedding) |  the weather was not very stable recently, a lot of clients asked me the same question: “if the weather is not good, is there any indoor location that is good for photo shooting?” Honestly, other than shooting inside studio or hotel, I really have no idea of any public indoor location that is good for shooting under rain. Let me know if you know any of this place.
Even though I had shoot under very bad weather conditions before, but I really prefer to shoot under sunshine as there is too much pressure on the couple and it is difficult to protect the equipments when shooting under rain.
Cindy and Bennalt asked me the same question a few days before their prewedding session because the weather forecast was really bad. It turned out that it rained the whole day, and luckily, they made the decision to book a room inside the 1881 heritage [......]

Posting date: June 20th, 2011 | Category: I-do (wedding day), video |  I believe that every wedding should be unique, even though you may see the same venue, same hotel, and similar bridal pickup games.
But all the people are different, the dress, the decoration, the family, the light, the smile, the tears are all different, the possibility of photos is just unlimited.
wedding of sam and ryan was early this year, though a little bit late, it ’s such a beautiful wedding that I can’t afford not posting their wedding here.
Did you remember sam and ryan? they ‘re the couple that I took the pre-wedding photos at HKU renovation site !!!!
ceremony and reception: grand hyatt hong kong
video: ken of simon.the.photo
makeup artist: joe from hoolala
always having lots of fun taking pictures of them
Posting date: June 17th, 2011 | Category: engagement (pre-wedding), personal |  In last two weeks, I was contacted by several wedding magazines for interview regarding my opinion on oversea pre wedding. So guess what? I turned down all these interviews finally. why? Oversea pre wedding is getting more and more popular in last two years, it’s so popular that it starts to become a COMMODITY. However, if you ‘ve followed my blog for a while, you may notice that I didn’t do any oversea pre-wedding session in last two years. As I always tell my client — first, location is the least important element in my photo, second, there are so many places in Hong Kong that are so beautiful, together with the additional time and money required for oversea job, I much prefer staying in hk for pre wedding.
I feel glad (and lucky) that there are still so many clients that love having pre-wedding photos in Hong Kong and always bring [......]

Posting date: May 18th, 2011 | Category: engagement (pre-wedding) |  if you follow my blog for a long time, you should know that I am pretty much a woman photographer. i would say more than 80% of my photos focus on the bride only, even my wedding day photo, the approach is documenting everything happening around the bride.
you may not agree, but I always think that wedding is all about the bride, nothing else.
having said that, it’s surprising that, I have several clients recently that the groom really like playing an “active role” in the photos. Sometimes I really feel that the guy has more concern of his outlook and appearance than the bride does. hahahaha…….. And Jonathan is definitely one of them. This is a good thing for sure ….. ….. at least I can feel that he is very serious about the quality of the wedding photos, doesn’t like other guys that just help the brides pay the [......]

Posting date: April 28th, 2011 | Category: I-do (wedding day), video |  Oh … … almost a month since I post wedding photos, sorry about it.
a same day photo slideshow I did in a wedding during the Easter holiday, really love it !!!! every time I watched it again in last few days, it recalls my memory of all the happiness in the wedding of annie and angus.
so happy to see annie and angus again after their pre-wedding, which is one of my fav photo session last year (you can see that I have used annie ’s photo in my rate card).
I observed a trend recently that I was shooting more and more alone in wedding , there was no 2nd photographer and I am the only paid photographer for the whole day. I always believe the less no. of crew member on the day, the more natural the wedding couple and the wedding party will look in the camera. Sometimes when I [......]
