Posting date: May 27th, 2010 | Category: I-do (wedding day) | - (Comments are closed)  I still remember the first time I met Jo and Desmond – in a coffee shop in grand hyatt. At the very first second I saw them, I already felt I met them before, but I was not very sure in which occasion. I finally learned that they were the bridesmaid and groomsman of the wedding of maggie and simon 3 years ago …. …. And, to my surprise, it is THIS wedding in which they met each other and started dating since then. So excited!!! Feel like I witnessed and being part of the wedding.

Posting date: March 24th, 2010 | Category: I-do (wedding day), photo shooting technique | - (Comments are closed)  love the post title – it means I got something new in the photos again.
You may notice there are several wedding locations/venues got very very popular among my clients.
for reception venue, AMC, four seasons, peninsula, island shangri la and repulse bay are the most popular
for church, bethanie chapel, St. Margaret church – almost go there once every week during the peak season.
Shooting at the same location every week is a good and bad thing – you get very familiar with the places, but easily get bored at the same time. To avoid getting bored, I ‘ll try my best to get a few new and creative shots every time, if I can get 2-3 new shots on the day, then I am satisfied, and don’t have pressure at all for the rest of the day. 2-3 new shots may sound too less for you, but please remember, we may have over [......]

Posting date: March 3rd, 2010 | Category: anniversary | - (Comments are closed)  a very happy photo session.
I did several anniversary sessions every year, and I always love doing it. Why ??? It is not uncommon that most grooms are not interested in wedding photos, so if a man love to do another photo session with his wife after wedding, the session usually turns out very very sweet !!!!
look forward to this session for a long long time, as they booked it almost 1 year before their wedding (even though I was not their wedding day photographer), so it was booked almost two years before. Thank hazel and derek for having me as your anniversary photographer, really enjoyed a lot on the day.
locations: home, central, Pak Nai, Gold Coast (night shoot)
both hazel and derek love taking photo and they took their DSLR on the day.
Posting date: February 22nd, 2010 | Category: I-do (wedding day) | - (Comments are closed)  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 [......]

Posting date: February 4th, 2010 | Category: I-do (wedding day) | - (Comments are closed)  one of the most commonly asked question during client meeting is what kind of wedding I like most.
Happy wedding is definitely my answer.
lydia and wales ‘ wedding is one of the happiest wedding in last wedding season. Not only we have happy couple, but we have happy wedding party and families as well. I was very very impressed that when they finished the wedding ceremony, both of their parents came out on stage and gave the blessings to the newly wed. Very very touching !!!!

Posting date: December 3rd, 2009 | Category: I-do (wedding day) | - (Comments are closed)  I did several weddings at the Atrium room of island Shangri-La before, but I was really impressed by the wedding of tracey and danny. Perfect timing of the wedding ceremony with beautiful sunset light.
I didn’t met tracey until a few days before the wedding. Thanks for her trust on me and changed the rundown, the time of the ceremony and the setup of the venue, so that we could have such a beautiful sunset wedding
ceremony and reception: Atrium, Island Shangri-La
makeup artist: polly of faces hk

beautiful wedding, beautiful light.
At the same time, it was a challenge for photography with such a strong directional light
my fav bridal portrait of tracey. love the details of the veil very much
Posting date: November 24th, 2009 | Category: engagement (pre-wedding) | - (Comments are closed)  every year from sept to dec is the peak season for pre-wedding photos session (another peak season from mar to jun). The weather is always good and humidity is low. I went to stanley market, central, and the peak for location shooting on last weekend ‘s wedding (clara and thomas, tracey and danny), the sunlight was so beautiful and feel very comfortable walking around outdoor.
I shot zoe and jack ‘s pre-wedding session a few weeks ago, again, we had wonderful sunlight everywhere, you can see and feel beautiful sunlight in most of the photos below.
location: Inspiration Lake at disney station, pak nai, and Yuen Long Stadium
Don’t miss to click here to see the whole team of the day
my fav of the day at pak nai – one of the best location in Hong Kong for sunset shots
an interesting shot at the Yuen Long stadium. A little story behind.

Posting date: November 10th, 2009 | Category: engagement (pre-wedding), personal | - (Comments are closed)  Let’s talk about oversea pre-wedding photos today.
I didn’t do too many oversea photo sessions in last two years. There are several reasons behind.
First, looking at my working schedule and my family life, it is almost impossible to be away from home town for anything over 3-4 days. In addition, I hate flying home and then having to shoot a wedding the day after. there are so many accidents that can happen and I really don’t like taking the risk of it.
Then, I can’t work out the justification of the time and effort needed for oversea assignment. When I stay in Hong Kong, I can shoot 3-4 weddings/pre-weddings a week, and I can still work on post-processing and albums and meet clients for the rest of the time (not to mention, have the time to play with shulin as well), so why spend the extra time on travelling for shooting just [......]
