anniversary session – hazel and derek

Posting date: March 3rd, 2010 | Category: anniversary |

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.

    hi simon!
    love your shots so much and have been browsing yr blog for such a long time…
    may i ask where you bought the umbrella?
    as i found most of this kind of umbrella in hk are very think and seem not really good in diffuse the light….
    looking for a better one quite a while and think the result from yr photo by it looks great!
    thank you so so much!!

      mine is westcott from us.

      I think the problem you have is the position of the umbrella, not the thickness of the umbrella material.

        thanks simon!
        but i typed wrong, i wanna said mine is very thin instead of thick! hahaa…
        even i try to make the distance between the umbrella and the flash longer, the light still so strong on the subject’s face… looks like just using the light without umbrella!
        Will try to find a thicker one and test again!
        really thanks! :D

    Did you use a snoot of some sort to create the beam?

    • http://blog.simonthephoto.com/ simon.the.photo

      haha. In fact this is by available light – sun light from a gap between two buildings
