Honmi + Mathew Wedding

The last wedding of 2009 ended on a fine sunny day. The temperature was perfect for wedding. I arrived a little early to walk around at the location. It was at Sam Yuk Middle School in Sai Kung. This place is quite well known with pretty grass area and because it is out of the town. We don’t get horrible high rise buildings which would affect the pretty scene.

It was only a luncheon ceremony and reception, so it started at around 1pm and finished just before sunset. Since it was a luncheon reception, so everyone felt more like a small gathering with friends and family. The outdoor area allowed the children to have a little fun too.

The most amazing thing on the wedding was the Bride. Of course, as usual the Bride must be amazing, because she’s the focus on the day. But no, not that because she has the amazing gown or she looks pretty. Well, she of course is pretty, but not just that. It is what she did for her wedding. The details were all created by herself, with the help of her friends. All the decorations and ideas were put together beautifully. I thought she works as one of the wedding vendor not until the maid of honor told me it was just her own hobby. Wow…so amazing what she did.

Although the couple was a little shy sometimes, but the day went well. Thanks for the pretty weather and the pretty details. Enjoyed it so much.

We had some really hot and really cold weather during this winter in Hong Kong. While it is hot, the sky just fogs up and it’ll becomes gray. Anyway, it’s better than when it is cold and humid.

With this shoot, the couple is actually not engaged. They are so in love that they want to take an engagement session. It was really amazing, because they were not shy. A lot of hugging and kissing which normally won’t see in Asian couples. Especially in front of a camera.

So this round, the couple suggested to go Ma Wan Island. Which is an isolated location right next to the Ching Ma Bridge. With this location, I brought them to the quiet Ma Wan Village where soon or later will be reconstructed to new high rise.

Nephew Aidan – style check

It was on x’mas day that we had a family gathering. Before dinner we went for a walk at Bowen Road. The day was warm, so it was an easy walk. The only kid around was my nephew Aidan. He loves to walk and so I took a few shots of him. Check out his outfit, so smart and fashionable, that’s a standard modeling for kid I reckon.

The TiKin Wedding

Well, they call themselves TiKin by merging Bride’s name Tik and Groom’s name Kin together. The Wedding day was an overcast day, but everybody had so much fun. I especially love seeing couples with smiles all the time, kissing and hugging without being shy. And Tik and Kin did just that. So many lovely photos and moment were captured on camera.

I really want to get this post up as I promised Tik to show her more before New Year. So here you go. I hope you enjoy the photos and share your happiness with everyone.

P.S. I really like those photos taken on the bed, well Tik and Kin on the bed.. Really awesome with those fun.

Ceremony: Heritage Baptist Church (學基浸信會)
Reception: Eaton Hotel (逸東酒店)

Outdoor locations in Hong Kong are not easy to scout, especially those are convenient and not too much walking from transportation. Discovery Bay in Hong Kong happens to have some beautiful scenes that meet my needs. It is easy to get there, although there are no private car access to this isolated suburb. But it’s easy enough to drop off by bus and walk a little bit between photo locations.

The best is to start off from the Plaza, where change to gown and make up retouch can be done. Then walk off along the beach for a few shots and up through the lanes near the villages for more photos. There are other locations in Discovery Bay which would need to take bus or hire a driver to get around. Look out for those new places soon.

WOW WOW WOW!
First WOW, the KISS album only took 3 weeks from the day I ordered it to the day I received it. That’s fantastic speed for oversea ordering.

Second WOW, the albums as expected are so pretty. The leather feels and smells good. I mean it, I can’t stop hugging it, haha. Each spread is so flat, loves it!

Last WOW, the print and the color is very much what I see from my calibrated monitor. Which means I can just drag the photos into my template for future albums. Simple simple simple.

With these samples, I’m sure many of my future clients would love to own them. The red leather would go perfectly with Chinese wedding.

Thanks so much for KISS books. Love you all.

A full day wedding photo shot on a cloudy day. It was a very cool day with a sudden drop of temperature from 20+ to 16 degree. Though it didn’t cool down the hot couple and their bridesmaid and groomsmen. Here’s a preview.
