wedding of anissa and peter
May 24th, 2008 at 12:57 am (weddings, wedding photo tips)
When I have meetings with my clients, a lot of the brides tell me their fiance doesn’t smile, doesn’t like wedding photo … ….
Peter is an exception. He enjoyed the wedding so much, and he could sing a song, read a Chinese love poem to Anissa anytime, anyplace. His expectation of wedding photos was very high as well, they ‘re the first couple to prepare a 16-page powerpoint presentation for me, with a list of photos that they like. I can still remember, on the wedding day, I brought the presentation with me and reminded me the shots.
thanks anissa and peter for inviting me as your wedding photographer.
date: 29 dec, 2007
ceremony: Yan Fook Church
reception: Eaton Hotel
my fav photo of the day - at anissa parent ’s apartment
- an ordinary location with extraordinary sunlight
get ready in Eaton Hotel — Anissa and her best friends Holy (the maid of honor) 
the wedding gown has very pretty details 
what a beautiful bride 
We ‘re leaving for Anissa ’s family, when the door of the elevator opened, I found there was very beautiful light from outside and captured this moment 
so pretty 
when Peter met Anissa 
details of the Chinese dress 
the train of the dress was stunning !!! 
Did I mention that Peter loves singing a lot — he was singing to Anissa. I remembered it was a song from Jacky Cheung
changed into wedding gown 
before the ceremony, we had 45 min free time and we had a photo session on the Kadoorie Road 
ceremony. Peter was singing to welcome the arrival of the bride 
Yan Fook Church at Cheung Shan Wan 
kissing the bride. I love the way Peter kissing — a very very gentle kiss 
Let ’s welcome Mr. and Mrs. Wong 
the church ’s full of their friends and families 
another pair of bride and groom? 
the childhood slideshow. Love the expression of the grand parents 
waiting for the march in 
another fav of the day — the long staircase is very unique for ballroom of Eaton Hotel, I took the risk to take the photo at their back and tried to include as many guests as possible. You can click on the photo to see my thinking process
Peter was making Anissa cry again 
This table was their special friends from the "hong kong outstanding students’ association". They prepared an album for anissa and peter, with photos from them

Anissa and Peter wedding has set a high standard for all of us (the OSA friends), and Simon, I’m counting on you to take a lot of nice pix on my wedding date this Dec!!
Btw, let’s meet-up for details when your holidays over. We haven’t met since Anissa’s wedding and you haven’t met my bf yet. It would be great to meet-up and discuss our wedding in detail.
Congratulations for having such a pretty little princess!

Dear Simon,
We were just back from Paris when we saw the photos you posted! What a pleasant surprise! Thanks for the great pictures that capture our sweetest memory. We really look forward to receiving the coffee book which will include the pics we like most!
And I noticed that my friends Kat and Ling are definitely keen fans of you and your blog, haha! I’ll see you again at Ling’s wedding in HK this Dec.
Congrats and enjoy your new family life, Simon the papa!

Hi Simon
YOu got some great images
but somehow your sample at asuka books just doesnt do you credit.
Perhaps you need to think as a photographer when you are doing your layout.
do it as you would your photos
keep it up
