my biggest wedding in 2007 – hui kwan and clarence
March 16, 2008
a beautiful wedding – elaine and jonathan
March 21, 2008
This month is a month of Bar Mitzvah for me, I have a total of five bar mitzvah ceremonies and parties to shoot. The first one is James ‘s on last Sunday. I am so happy to see Fiona ‘s family again, I love them so much !!!
The theme of the evening was "Fire and Crystal", the whole ballroom of AMC was partitioned into two areas – "Fire" and "Crystal". When I asked Fiona who is the decoration company, I was so surprised when she told me that she didn’t hire any decoration or event company and she designed all by herself — amazing !!!!!
the celebration — James and Father dancing on the table !!!! So excited !!!!
It was lucky that I could capture this pic — once they started to do that, you ‘d be in the middle of the crowd and you couldn’t move at all. The tricks are "anticipation" and a little bit of "luck". 
Let me introduce — the Walton family 
"Fire" — the cocktail . The whole area was in red
Looking from outside, fire and volcano movies ‘re projected on the "big" screen 
the "crystal" area — everything was in white 
James and his best friends !! 
watch out !!!! We had real fire to play !!!! 
the opening of the dinner !! 
James ‘s brother — Robert was the mc of the night 
speech from the father 
Look at James!!!! 
the two brothers 
Wow !!!! 
Fiona and her sister & mother 
James ‘s speech — one of the best bar mitzvah ‘s boy speech !!!! And he even offered an open question session for all the guests 
James ‘s playing his favorite musical instrument — human beatbox !!!
a band by James ‘s best friends 
James listening to the band. 
Going to Fiona ‘s party, she never ever disappointed you at the dessert time 
Let’s dance and sing !!! 
special dance 
Look at me, James !!! 
the mother and son 
a happy moment!!! 
a family time

Dear Fiona & Steve
I think I was gardening in the pouring rain whilst you were partying! How sad is that…? I truly know where I would have rather been. What incredible photos. The Waltons certainly know how to throw a unique party. As always, you looked stunning Fiona and you both must be so proud of the boys.
I’m so sorry that I missed your special night. Hopefully we’ll catch up in HK next week. See you soon.
Much Love

Darling Fiona, Steven, James and Robert (had to put James before Rob today!)
The photos are wonderful, showing that you managed to have a great time even though we couldn’t be there with you!!
You know we were so dissappointed that we couldn’t join you this time, but we’re thrilled to see that the party clearly went as brilliantly well as Rob’s Barmitzvah. No surprise really, knowing how fab you are at organising such events Fiona.
James, we know you realise how lucky you are to have such an amazing family. We hope you had an fantastic time at your Barmitzvah – Mazeltov to you.
We can’t wait to catch up with you all properly over a glass, or two, of vino in Marbella.
Lots of love,
Sarah-Lou & Simon (with Ben, Sam, Zak & Beth)

Dear Fiona and Steven, and Robert and James,
Congratulations on one of the best parties we have been too, other than of course, Robert’s Bartmitzvah!!! The food, the ambience, everything was perfect and of course the MC and James and his buddies were phenomenal. Funny how a mundane lamaze class can bring us together and connect us in such great friendship. It has been a pleasure to watch your boys grow from babies to great young men with wonderful and different personalities. We shall aways remember the heart warming love and happiness we shared with you as a family during that special evening.
Love aways, Maria

Stunning photos Simon, of the decor and the people! The vibrant mood was captured perfectly!!
Fiona, I know you designed the decor yourself, but would you be able to tell me which production company you used to create such a spectacular setting?
very best,
Emily
