2505229763_243633b735

When I first met Irene and Peter, I thought they ‘re a quiet couple, but I was wrong. They ‘re so out going and ready for anything that ‘re new and exciting to them. They purposed to me that they ‘d like to take some photos on the Star Ferry — oh my goodness. if you follow my blog, you may notice that I seldom take photos at crowded locations, I just don’t get used to it.

date: 15 April, 2008
locations: Shing Mum Reservoir, Tai Tam Reservoir, Shek O, Star Ferry, IFC Mall, Legislative council

at the pier — I used a very slow shutter to capture the motion of the passers-by. As I didn’t bring a tripod, I was lying on the ground with my camera to get a sharp picture

wow !!! on the star ferry, a very different experience for me

Wedding of Virginia & Kingsley

tounge_smile

Virginia & Kingsley ‘s wedding was on Mar 4, 2007 at Langham Place Hotel.

Virginia was so pretty whole day. When my assistant (Mr Bean) was preparing the same day slideshow at the hotel, he helped me to select the photos to be included in the slideshow. He told me that there ‘re a lot of good shots of Virginia. When I previewed the slideshow he did, I found that he included over 10 photos of Virginia alone!! So finally, I told him that he had to redo the slideshow and should include more photos of Kingsley.

This shot was taken at a stair just outside the ballroom at the end of the banquet. When they ‘re farewelling their guest, I noticed this view, and found the neon light on Portland Street  below very interesting.

Wedding of Elsa & Joseph

I loved the wedding of Elsa & Joseph.

Joseph ‘s a very gentle husband, he gave a big surprise to Elsa during the banquet. He hide behind and suddenly started to play guitar and sang the song "Love me Tender" to Elsa.

Look at Elsa and see how much she enjoyed this moment

Love at the first sight -
wedding of Phyllis & Neil

blog_phyllis_neil_00

I found it was so easy to shoot the wedding of Phyllis & Neil, because Neil loves Phyllis so much. You could feel the love from Neil every single moment. In his speech, Neil shared the love story with all the guests.  When he met Phyllis the first time 10 years ago, he already knew she ’s the ONE he was waiting for. Without hesitation, he gave all his tel no. (home no. office no. pager no. … … ) to  Phyllis and hoped she would call him back.

That was the last picture I took. In fact, it was already after midnight, all my equipments were packed and I was about to leave. But I found that both Phyllis & Neil still enjoyed the dance so much and I couldn’t stop unpacking my camera and taking this last photo

Won in the [AG]WPJA April contest!!!

blog_irene_stanley_12-13-28

1 month ago, I submitted several photos to " the Artistic Guild of the Wedding Photojournalist Association" [AG]WPJA April contest, and I got an email today that I won the 5th place in the details category (click here to see the comments from contest judges).

This photo was taken in the wedding of Irene & Stanley on 31 March at the Banyan Tree Phuket, Laguna Resort. After taken several shots of "typical" wedding gown hanging over the window inside the villa, I decided to go outside and found that the blue color of the pool made a very strong contrast and I took the shot from a very low angle.

 

A busy week

Last week was a busy week. Since I returned from my holiday on Monday, I had meeting seeing my potential clients almost everyday. In last few days, I was appointed in the following four weddings as their photographers … It seems 2006 to be a real good year “??” for wedding.
