So happy to be the wedding photographer of Katherine and Andy. Since they had decided to have an engagement session, we tried to work out a day in last dec / jan, however, both of us ‘re so busy that we couldn’t find a day until after Chinese New Year, and that ‘s why this shooting was done on the 4th day of Chinese New year.
Hi Kat and Andy, you ‘re my 1st client in the year of rat and look forward to your wedding in Nov !!!

Fiona ‘s wedding was held at the "pearl on the peak" restaurant at the peak, the location gave you a very causal but warm style. This was my first time to be there and both services and food ‘re very good. The ceremony and reception finished at around 1600 and we still got plenty of time taking photos at the peak.
This was a big surprise, when we had the dinner in Central, Fiona told me that my face is very familiar to her. We found out that we met each other before when both of us worked in IT industry xxx (a secret) years ago, and we had a lot of common friends in IT !!!!

Hi agnes and jim,
thanks for your trust on me in your wedding. there is a little story. About 1 month before the wedding, we arranged a pre-meeting to discuss the rundown. However, I forgot to mark it in my personal calendar and made them wait for me in the coffee shop whole night. At that time, I guessed they must be very worry about me … …
On the contrary, they ‘re very nice on their wedding day and showed a lot of trust on me. Big big thanks to you !!!!!

the wedding of Zoe and Mawgan was on 14 Nov 07 at the St. John’s Cathedral which is a very beautiful church, with lots of details. The last time I shot a wedding here was back in Sept 2005.
The shooting this time was very challenging — as the wedding started after 4:30pm, the church was very dark inside as expected for a winter wedding. What made it more difficult, it was not allowed to use any flash inside !!!!! So I had to used a high ISO (800 or 1,000 — I seldom used such a high ISO) and had to make sure hand holding steadily for every shots.

On 21 Oct, I had the pleasure of photographing Gwen and Ian ‘s wedding at the Bethanie Chapel. Watching two people very much in love made the day very beautiful. This is my first time to shoot a wedding at Bethanie, it is a very nice location for wedding.
Ceremony: Bethanie ChapelReception: Aberdeen Marina Club (AMC)
My fav of the day. I love taking picture of putting on the veil. Not only it looks beautiful, it also marks the change of a lady into a bride

Hi Sylvia and Jimmy,
Thanks for inviting me as your wedding photographer – from the engagement shooting to the wedding day, you ‘re wonderful, and I feel so blessed to be part of your wedding. Both Xandra and I ‘re so happy to witness your marriage and your happiness.
with love,
Simon
My fav of the day. Sylvia was changing into another dress and I was waiting outside the bridal room. Never see the beauty of this mirror until this time even though I have taken photos in Ritz Carlton several times, . The beautiful bride, the lamp, the mirror, the frame, the reflection, the pattern on the wall — there are so many elements in one picture – but they all worked very well together.
