Posting date: February 22nd, 2010 | Category: I-do | 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 didn’t show up before 3:45pm, and there ‘s no phone call, no message from her. To my surprise, Clara didn’t get upset at all, and she could still enjoy and have fun with her friends. I was really impressed. Happy couple is happy couple, nothing can stop them enjoying the day.
This is my 1st time to have wedding at the government LCSD wedding venue (there are six of them). What a good idea, but I believe there is a lot can be done and improved by the government. We had the ceremony at the repulse bay beach, very very nice location, but all the facilities are very minimal (and raw, I can say), not up to a modern wedding venue standard. Not to mention, the restroom is very very far away … … Hope it can be improved in the future and don’t waste this beautiful scenic location.
get ready: four seasons hotel
ceremony: repulse bay beach, LSCD Venue
video: Chan Kai
one of my fav shot of the day. I took this at the Stanley Market, BTW, thanks for the very nice dinner.

Posting date: January 31st, 2010 | Category: engagement | yes, it ’s raining again during the e-session of donna and tony. After several raining e-sessions in last season, I found that there are so many photo opportunities during raining. Of course, I couldn’t make it without a client willing to take photo under rain. Special thanks to donna and tony, especially it rained so bad at night!!! I can still remember - the lower part of donna ’s dress got completely wet, the raindrops on all our faces, my assistant Canly holding the flash and listening to my shouting on the street. But we had a blast and the resulting photos are awesome !!!!!!
Three umbrellas, seven crazy persons. And YES, WE MADE IT (shouting on the street !!!!!!!)
locations: Tai Tam Reservoir, Stanley Market, military cemetery, Central
this one is my fav. The flower pattern, the blue light, the yellow shopping windows light, the reflection on the ground, the raindrops, and donna ’s facial expression. All work perfectly together !!!

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: May 30th, 2009 | Category: engagement | love this photos session. Victor brought me to the Hong Kong Museum of Coastal Defence – I have heard this place before, but never got a chance to get there.
I found this is an very interesting place – a lot of stone caves and tunnels, so lots of opportunity to play with the light.
locations: Hong Kong Museum of Coastal Defence, stanley military cemetery, Stanley Market
Makeup Artist: penny of faces HK

Posting date: May 13th, 2009 | Category: engagement | Though fiona loves the location of Student Hall of HKU so much, neither ben nor she studied in HKU before. you can imagine it is very difficult for them to go inside to take wedding photo
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.

Posting date: January 22nd, 2009 | Category: engagement | a quick update: I was very sick and the cough was very bad these two days. I got 5 clients meeting yesterday, and felt very sorry that I kept coughing most of the time, and really couldn’t speak too much. Thanks for all the clients’ forgiveness (Verena, Katherine, Eva, Michelle, Bosco). One more shooting on coming Friday before the Chinese New Year holiday, hope can get well soon.
Another nice session in Oct that I ‘d like to share with you. Beautiful bride, nice couple – nothing can be better. We started the day at Park Island, this is my 2nd time to have shooting here. A very nice place, but too difficult to get there as we could only go there by their shuttle bus or ferry (remember, we had a lot of photo and lighting equipments to carry)
date: Oct 14, 2008
locations: Park Island, Stanley Market, Central (night shot)
make-up artist: polly of faces hk
thanks for treating me a very nice dinner at Tivo – a dining bar that they visit very often. Both Canly and I loved the food very much
