virginia and daniel, one of my fav wedding last season. Again, I shot alone on the day without 2nd photographer, which gave me more freedom of the day. Having said that, don’t get me wrong, even though I love working alone, every wedding is unique and some weddings definitely require 2nd photographer for handling all the formal shots requests.

My fav shot of the day. It’s a first dance photo, I always tell my clients that dance photos are the most difficult shots to take on a wedding day. Lighting is always very dim if not completely darkness, even there are spot lights at the venue, they are usually unpredictable in terms of ligh intensity, color, or how the hotel staff operates them. What makes it even more difficult is that you [......]

Posting date: August 29th, 2011 | Category: I-do (wedding day) |  It ’s a joy taking photos of the wedding of Jessica and Ronny. Not only I have a beautiful and cheerful bride, Jessica , but also the wedding ’s full of fun as well. As Ronny is a senior management of a record company, there ‘re lots of singers and celebrities as their guests in the wedding.

It’ s really 『左麟右李』
Posting date: August 23rd, 2011 | Category: I-do (wedding day) |  Many of my photographer friends and clients asked me why all my weddings are full of touching moments and did I ask or pose them to create the shots?
I think all my clients are smart enough to tell if a photo is posed or captured in a candid way, aren’t they? Yes, I do pose my clients when I am taking portraits of them as I need to do the best for the brides and make sure they look absolutely gorgeous in my photos. However, for wedding day photos, I just hate staged or setup shots. IMHO, touching moments are everywhere in a wedding, you just need to have a correct mind set, experience and technique to “SEE AND CAPTURE” it. On the other hand, if a photographer just tried to create (or even setup) the moments all the time, with this mind set, he (or she) will never see the [......]

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 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 !!!!

always having lots of fun taking pictures of them
Posting date: May 4th, 2011 | Category: I-do (wedding day) |  I always love wedding full of smiles, laughters and tears. I feel so touching whenever I see the bride cries. But I find it ’s even more touching when I see the groom and his friends cry.
I seldom put a photo without a bride as the first photo in a blog post, this is definitely an exception. joji ’s friends prepared an interview video themselves in which lots of joji ‘ s friends shared their happiness and greeting. That video was so touching that made everyone cried.
ceremony and reception: four seasons hotel hong kong

I love this shot as it is not common to capture the emotion between boys in a wedding. hope you enjoy all photos below.
Posting date: February 28th, 2011 | Category: I-do (wedding day) |  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.

Posting date: February 11th, 2011 | Category: I-do (wedding day) |  I can still remember the first time I met Rita and Seto back in May 2009. At that time, I didn’t have a studio yet and I usually met my clients in coffee shop. It was a Friday night, it was so crowded everywhere. As we didn’t find a good cafe, so we finally met each other inside karaoke!!!!! yes, meeting a client inside karaoke !!!!!!!
what even worse, my 17″ laptop broken down just before the meeting and the only thing I could bring was a 13″ old laptop. there was not much I could show from this old laptop and you can imagine how embarrassing and unprofessional it was.
some photographer love to do big and grand wedding, some love to do oversea job, … … … for me, nothing better and important than having clients that are totally trust me and love my work.
Rita and Seto, without your trust, I don’t [......]
