e-session - katherine and andy
June 21st, 2008 at 6:01 am (engagement)
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 !!!
date: 10 Feb, 2007
locations: University of Hong Kong, Shek O and Central
Makeup artist: Polly of faces HK
I found that HKU is getting more and more popular for my clients. I had taken photos at this building several times, but I got a new idea this time. Instead of taking photo at the long staircase behind, I was attracted by the shadow and the texture of the ground. To make the shot even more interesting, I asked Kat to run towards Andy (or the light) to create a motion. This is one of my fav of the day. 
I like the pattern of the ground, not easy to find in other locations 
another interesting location with interesting light 
when andy meets kat 
with some lighting setup, we created a sunset window view in HKU 
another fav of the day, simple photo with great visual impact 
behind the scene of the above photo 
the happy couple 
I always tell my client that I can take great picture anywhere if the couple enjoys the day. I believe Kat and Andy just did a great example for us in this shot 
the more I take photo in HKU, the more I love this location. there are so many photo potential everywhere 
our 2nd location: Shek O 
the dancing Andy — all of us couldn’t stop laughing 
too hot that we need some more water … … 
so much energy of them 
a world with only kat and andy 
night shooing at Central, here is the small park next to Cheung Kong Bldg 
kat got a long long scarf which I loved to feature in this photo

Good to see a set of excellent photos from simon.the.papa again. It is really surprised that the photos at HKU could be taken at very different style and angle. We particularly like the last one which Kat was having a long scraf, it looks amazing & mysterious.

Veron & Thomas,
it’s so strange that we had been in HKU for 3-4 years but never realized HKU is soooo beautiful until we saw Simon’s photos!
Yes we also noticed that we went to the same locations, but all our photos are unique

Hi King Fai,
Thanks. I also love to keep a lot of space in a photo (for visual impact). The scarf photo is not a easy one, three flashes are used, and it was difficult to control the movement of the scarf. I remembered it tooks us 3 min. before we got this shot.
Hi Kat and Andy,
Glad you love the pics.
Hi Veron and Thomas,
Thanks. BTW, have you selected the photos for album.
Hi Mimi and Calvin,
Thanks. you set will be ready very very soon … …
