The groom got sunstroke -
e-session of karen and ben

it rained most of the time in last few weeks, several photo sessions ‘re postponed. When I talked to Ben last week, he told me that he would go ahead the photo session on last Monday (14 July) no matter it rained or not. What a great man !!! So what happened — instead of having a rainy day, we had the hottest and sunny photo session. It was so hot that Ben almost got sunstroke when we finish the first stop at the Wetland Park.

date: 14 July, 2008
locations: Wetland Park, Shek O, Club JJ’s of Grand Hyatt

my fav of the day. I found this red wall inside the visitor center.

look at Ben, he ’s not holding a mobile. He almost got a sunstroke after one hour outdoor shooting. He ’s holding an ice pack to cool himself down

It ’s at noon time, so it was difficult to take photo because of the overhead sunlight. We walked around to find a shady place for this beautiful pic

Louvre at Paris ???? It ’s funny that there ’s a projector (inside the exhibition hall) showing lots of different architect photos, the projection ‘re very real and we had a lot fun playing in front of it. How stupid and silly we ‘re Blushing!!!!

I really loved them, they didn’t plan to get wet (without extra clothes prepared), but it turned out that Ben got completely wet finally

    the 6th picture is very nice… blue sky and green grass give a great contrast! and the last picture is so timeless… i guess it’s the dress and the lighting…

    Hi Kelvin, thank you. you mentioned "my clients", are you photographer?

    For the photo in Wetland Park, just be aware that it is very very hot there recently (I believe it is 2-3 degree hotter than other locations), and "your client" must understand that they will be exposed to the direct sun (without any shade) for 1 hour … ….
