  1. thanks, jack. yes I tried to select more and more candid shots for wedding day post. In fact, if I count, I took less than 5 portraits for kaleen and hillman on the day. I believe clients expect simon to take more documentary shots rather than those posed portraits or those "pretend to be natural" shots

    Yes! Highly agree with you!I was rethinking this question in some recent jobs…. perhaps, clients want more candid shots than those posed shots?And simon is famous for those candid shots 😉

  3. from my experience of meeting client. I believe clients are very smart now, and know the difference of "real candid shots" and "pretend to be natural shots".

    Simon, you are as smart as your clients! ;)Thanks for taking these wonderful shots capturing the happiest & greatest moments throughout the day! They are absolutely gorgeous & exactly what we had wanted. Thanks again! Cheers!

    Changes? looks like that the selection of pics is more about candid shots rather than portrait shots. I'm sure you did both on the day, but you are now putting up more shots of those candid moments.am I correct?

    The happy precious moments were all captured by you beautifully! It’s may not be too difficult to shoot nice posed pictures, but it’s always a challenge to create nice candid shots. Very nice PJ work. Simon you did it again! Thanks for sharing 😀
