Pre-wedding: Jill & Fai @ Shek O, Tai Tam & Central

Yesterday is the date I took pre-wedding shots for my design class classmate Jill and her husband Fai. It was freezing cold and overcast, yet this did not hamper their eagerness for this because they have been preparing for it a few months ago. I was accompanied by my partner Jomond and my new video partner Keli. Despite the severe cold wind, we all completed the shooting professionally. Keli especially made one short film for me. I took a glimpse at some of the cool shots and they were a wonder! I can't wait to see the final clip!

Happy Together: Wedding of May & River

May & River's wedding last Saturday was an untraditional one in that first there was no big red wedding invitation card. Instead they published it as a newspaper issue making their wedding a cover story. Second they wanted to make their wedding banquet a party where the spotlight went to the guests rather than solely on themselves. After a simple but solemn wedding ceremony at the Rosary Church Kowloon, all of us set out towards Jumbo Floating Restaurant for the party. It was held at the Top Deck where a casual Western buffet was served. With this East meets West setting, guests were free to dine in the antique indoor dining room or  gathered for a drink on the sofa at the deck outside.

As the couple emphasized, this was not just a wedding banquet, but it is also a Christmas party they prepared for all their dear family and friends. So apart from the usual cut cake and toasting ceremony, there were also games for the children and a Christmas draw for winding up the party. This was really a successful one as I can see all the guests had a great time! I must say this should be the warmest and most thoughtful wedding ceremony I have attended this year!

Pre-wedding: Stephanie & Michael @ Pokfulam

Last weekend was a busy weekend as I had to shoot two sets of pre-wedding photos in three days. And the 2 couples are quite an opposite. The pair shooted on last Friday wanted something new and experimental while the pair on Sunday wanted something more traditional. But this does not mean that this pair are boring guys. On the contrary, they are very talkative and humorous. And therefore our time passes quickly with lots of laughters and jokes. Another interesting thing about this set is that this was my first visit to the few heritage buildings. They are really nice places for taking good photos. We are so happy the couple love our choices too.

After-wedding: Amy & Chew @ Central

It was quite a challenge and excitement when Amy called from Melbourne a week ago and said she wanted me to take a set of pre-wedding photos during her short visit to HK last week. The couple were married last month and when Amy browsed through my website incidentally, she decided that she was going to shoot a set during her visit to HK where she was to attend her sister's wedding. We exchanged a few emails and only met and discussed  the day before shooting.

Everything was done hastily, but the shooting process was very smooth and the outcome exceptionally good. Per they request, I tried to shoot them in an untraditional and conceptual way. It was really a funny time taking photos for them as they are both very adventurous and energetic. We enjoy as much as they do!
