As I am only a freelance wedding photographer (without an office or studio, & no one help me to pick up phone call and replying email) , I never thought I could have a chance to be part of a big wedding. This is my biggest wedding in 2007 – the reception had over 900 guests!!!! Thanks HK and Clarence ‘s trust on me.

My primary focus was on the bride and taking beautiful shots. All the other shots were handled by Ringo ‘s team from Aperture and it was great to work with them. It was totally amazing to see how they worked.

Is it easy to work in a big wedding? I pretty much worked in the same style, the only problem is you always had a lot of people and other photographers around the couple, but not too difficult to handle.

wedding date: Nov 30, 2007
ceremony: St. Teresa ‘s Church
reception: Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center (HKCEC)

A beautiful moment during the ceremony – HK ‘s waiting inside the bridal room
