sweet sweet charlotte and kelvin

If you ask me, “studio or  location shooting, which one do I like more” My answer is always outdoor location shooting.  Even having been to the same place lots of time before, I always find something different every time, – no matter the weather, the light, and the people, everything can be different, and something new or challenging can always be happened.

It ’s a hot sunny day pre-wedding for charlotte and kelvin. walking on the main stanley market street, we ‘re all attracted by the mini bus selling ice-cream. Without much thought, I asked them if they like to have ice-cream for the photos.  That ’s how I got the photos below …. ….

wedding of clara and thomas - day 1

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 [......]

ALERT ALERT !! it 's raining again - donna and tony

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

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.

makeup artist: Elaw Wong

Let’s push to the extreme. Ah nam did great !!!!

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.

e-session of fiona and ben

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)
