wedding of agnes and jim

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 !!!!!

date: 12 jan 2008
ceremony: Eden Marriage Registry, TST
reception: Langham Place Hotel

this is the fav of the day. location: the swimming pool at 42/F of the Langham Place Hotel. I decided to go there at around 5:30pm as the weather of the day was very good and we expected that there would be very good light at sunset, and I was right. The cool color reflection from the pool (lucky that we didn’t have other swimmer, the water was very quiet) made the photo even more interesting and gave more contrast.

the beautiful sunset. Not many hotel ballroom in Hong Kong have a sunset view.

the handsome jim

at jim ‘s apartment, changed into wedding gown

did you see the veil above? I got a new idea suddenly and asked my assistant to hold the veil between agnes and my camera, this created a soft lens effect without using a soft lens or Photoshop

poor crying boy

kids always got a lot of attention in wedding

ceremony at the Eden marriage registry. this is my second time taking photo there. I found it challenging as the area was always very crowed, the ceremony was very fast, and the worse was the quality of light (with a mix of purple curtain, yellow light and windows light). This ‘s a situation that you can’t rely on the available light. To cope with it, I removed most of the ambient light this time (make it 1.5 stops dimmer) and used 3 lights to light up different parts of the area.

everyone, let’ s have some fun together !!!

this pic was taken 15 min after the pool photo above, soon after the sunset, the color of the sky changed to blue very very fast. That ‘s why all the photographers call this period of time — the magic hour

look at their friends ‘ expression, their wedding photo in Taiwan must be very gorgeous
