Hi all Brides and Grooms,
My current price list has already been expired on May 31, and I am preparing a new rate for all new bookings. I am sorry to tell you that there will be a 20%-30% increase of my rate in the new price list. Engagement (pre-wedding) and wedding day shooting rate will be adjusted on 15 July and 31 July respectively. If any of you had received my quotation in last two weeks, or you plan to hire me as your wedding photographer, the old rate will be honored if you confirm the booking before 15 July (engagement) and 31 July (wedding day)
(update: 22 July) New rate for pre-wedding session was uploaded at the about page

when I read the newspaper this morning, I learned that yesterday, so far, was the hottest day of this year, no wonder we felt so hot yesterday!!!! When we were at the Wetland Part in the afternoon, we just couldn’t stay outside. Finally, we only spent around 30 min outdoor, and still got completely wet !!!!
In the morning, our 1st location was the Mary Knoll school, not only my first time to be there, but also my first time to meet Philip. I learned from Carmen that he doesn’t like taking any photo. It was a little bit challenging at first, but he was such a great guy that loosen up very soon, in fact much better than I expected !!!! And he made a joke that the amount of photos I took for him yesterday was more than all he had in last 10 years !!!
Look forward to their wedding in Oct !!!
date: 21 July, 2008
Locations: Maryknoll convent School, Wetland Park, Pak Lai (unplanned location), Craigengower crickets club
make up artist: Katherine and Elaw Wong
after finished the session at Wetland Park, I suggest them to go to Pak Lai, one of the most beautiful Sun Set location in Hong Kong. The temperature was much lower at that time and we had a blast there !!!! 
Hey Carmen, are you OK?

a happy wedding last Sat. I always found that I am so lucky that all my clients are so happy and friendly on their wedding day, and this is not an exception for vienna and tony. Not only they are fabulous, but also their families, wedding parties, friends and students as well (yes, vienna is a teacher, and lots of her students came to the ceremony to celebrate with them)
date: 19 July, 2008
ceremony: Kowloon City Baptist Church
reception: Regal Kowloon Hotel
the arrival of the bride - my fav photo of the day

it rained most of the time in last few weeks, several photo sessions ‘re postponed. When I talked to Ben last week, he told me that he would go ahead the photo session on last Monday (14 July) no matter it rained or not. What a great man !!! So what happened — instead of having a rainy day, we had the hottest and sunny photo session. It was so hot that Ben almost got sunstroke when we finish the first stop at the Wetland Park.
date: 14 July, 2008
locations: Wetland Park, Shek O, Club JJ’s of Grand Hyatt
my fav of the day. I found this red wall inside the visitor center. 
look at Ben, he ’s not holding a mobile. He almost got a sunstroke after one hour outdoor shooting. He ’s holding an ice pack to cool himself down

So happy to have my friend Claudia of playground photography visited us three weeks ago. Just give you some information of playground, they are very specialized in kid and baby photo on location and definitely one of the best in town.
We didn’t plan to do any photo, but when we grabbed out camera, the two crazy photographers just couldn’t stop taking photos of the lovely Shulin
Hi Claudia, thanks for visiting us 
the two crazy photographers 
Claudia and her new Nikon D3 
click the following link to see some of the photos taken by Claudia. We ‘ll do a proper session later when Shulin reaches two months old.

The story began on a Christmas night … Kevin went to the Christmas ball at the University of Hong Kong (HKU), the second he found fiona, he already knew she ’s the one of his life. The love inside pushed him to make a "first move" — inviting a girl to dance … ….
Did the love story start like this? … … probably not. Fiona didn’t give him a chance, walked away and left the poor Kevin in the dark.
After that night, Kevin couldn’t forget Fiona ’s face, he got help from his friends in HKU to find the contact of Fiona. And finally, he managed to get Fiona ’s ICQ no. To his surprise, she was studying Electronic Engineering degree (he graduated from the same department as well), so he kept contacting her and offered to teach her some of the courses.
I didn’t asked them the rest of the story … … May be Kevin can share the rest with you later … …
date: 29 June, 2008 (a rainy day)
ceremony and reception: Langham Hotel
makeup: nancy kim
We started shooting at Fiona ’s home in Tseung Kwan O in the morning, followed by location shooting at HKU, then back to Tseung Kwan O. Even though it took long time traveling and it rained so bad on Sunday, they really loved to take some photos at HKU.
Happy looking at the rain drops

I was very excited last two days as I resumed to work last weekend after my long vacation and I had shoot two weddings. The weather was very bad with rain (heavy !!) most of the time, but the brides ‘re gorgeous and the little rain drops didn’t affect at all. Before the weddings, it was quite busy last week preparing and cleaning all the equipments. It was a mess as I didn’t do any shooting last two months, it took me some time to figure out where I did put all the stuff … …
I ‘ll show you some preview of the last two weddings in next few days, stay tuned … …
Before that, I ‘d like to share ada and lawrence ’s wedding with you (and thanks for Lawrence Tsang ’s referral). This was a small wedding in which ada and lawrence only invited their close friends and families.
The ceremony was held at the garden suite of peninsula, I had shot a few weddings at this location before, but this is my 1st daytime wedding there.
date: Feb 16, 08
reception and ceremony: peninsula hong kong, garden suite
just by looking at these two photos, you know how happy ada was on the day

Today supposed to be my first day of work after my long vacation, but we had to postpone it because of the typhoon. Instead of today, I ‘ll resume to work in the coming weekend (two weddings on Sat and Sun) — It is going to be busy very soon as I have a long list of wedding and engagement session to shoot in July … …
I go through some of the photos today and would like to share this "post wedding" session to you. Remember Angie and Martin? they had a wedding on a rainy day in Feb, and we had to cancel all morning activities, so finally I offered them a free 4 hours photo session and that ’s why we had this "post wedding" session 1 week after their wedding.
The more I do "post wedding" shoot, the more I like it. In fact, I found Martin was quite anxious on the wedding day because of the weather and all the logistics, however, without all the pressure and time constraint, I found him enjoy so much in this session
And guess what? after a rainy wedding …. we had afull day of sunshine this time !!!
location: Central and Lei Yue Mun
my fav of the day.

this was a rainy and cold day. It was so cold that no one liked to stay outdoor for a few seconds.
this is my 2nd time to have a wedding at the beautiful Bethanie Chapel. I love this location a lot, not only because of the beautiful architecture, and I love their booking system as well. When you book this venue, you have a 4 hour session, so you don’t need to rush before and after the ceremony.
date: feb 2, 2008
ceremony: Bethanie Chapel
reception: Langham Place Hotel
Even though we couldn’t go out because of the bad weather, there ‘re so many beautiful locations inside the chapel. I was trying a new concept, inspired by another wpja award winning photographer Dino Lara

So happy to be the wedding photographer of Katherine and Andy. Since they had decided to have an engagement session, we tried to work out a day in last dec / jan, however, both of us ‘re so busy that we couldn’t find a day until after Chinese New Year, and that ’s why this shooting was done on the 4th day of Chinese New year.
Hi Kat and Andy, you ‘re my 1st client in the year of rat 
and look forward to your wedding in Nov !!!
date: 10 Feb, 2007
locations: University of Hong Kong, Shek O and Central
Makeup artist: Polly of faces HK
I found that HKU is getting more and more popular for my clients. I had taken photos at this building several times, but I got a new idea this time. Instead of taking photo at the long staircase behind, I was attracted by the shadow and the texture of the ground. To make the shot even more interesting, I asked Kat to run towards Andy (or the light) to create a motion. This is one of my fav of the day.

HI Veron and Thomas,
thanks so much inviting me as your wedding photographer, you ‘re such a awesome couple and I had lots of fun with you.

date: mid Jan, 2008

love this pic. I was shooting through two layers of windows,
which added a lot of texture into the picture

I should have publish this item several hours ago, but I got a crazy crying baby last few hours, she just kept crying no matter what you did. It happens once every few day …. Anyone have any advice?
This is my 1st father ’s day as a father !!!! We didn’t have any celebration, just stayed quietly and safely at home. the little girl grew bigger and bigger, stronger and stronger in last 3 weeks. I really treasured the time with her, the smell, the touch, the smile, the crying … …
my father ’s day present — little angel in my arms. I didn’t have any nice father/daughter photo until today. thanks Xandra for helping me taking this photo, though she was very tired
