happy wedding of janet and edmond

when I met client, one of the most common request of the style of wedding day photo is “happy and natural”

“natural” – to be natural, I tried to be as little intrusive as possible on the wedding day, just capture the moment (of course, in a beautiful way)

“happy” – that ‘s difficult, I can only capture the happiness but couldn’t create it for my client. I have seen so many clients that got upset by little details of wedding or pushed by the fully packed schedule. It is pity that they just couldn’t enjoy the “big day”

If you asked me to choose one of the happiest wedding in this season, janet and edmond  ‘s wedding is definitely one of them. Not only you could always see smiles from them, but truly beautiful smile !!!!!
BTW, Janet looks very very slim and fit. Guess why? ….. ….. She is a yoga instructor …. …. No wonder !!!!

    Janet,
    You look absolutely gorgeous and I love all your photos taken by Simon. I think I will need to ask my editor to interview Simon as I have never seen such great wedding photos in town. I like your pre-wedding photos too, but this is just sooo good!

    Btw, Congratulations and Happy CNY!

    Cheers,

    Andy
