Trash the Dress!
Recently, there are many brides who have been talking about the concept of “Trash the Dress”. This is something I would like to try as well. Trash the Dress means photographing a bride in her wedding dress, in unusual locations such as in abandoned warehouses, rivers, railway yards, beaches, skate parks and even muddy swamps. Most of the dresses don’t actually get trashed literally, they may get dirty and wet, but in most cases dry cleaning will get the dress looking great again. For full article, please go to SWPP site.

Every wedding photoshoot I’ve done has been a unique and refreshing experience for me, and has allowed me to grow as a wedding photographer.Although these two places are quite different and glamourous in their own ways, I always have one goal in my mind, that is, through my photography, I try to portray beauty, happiness and love.

Emma & Andrew – Wedding at Ramside Hall, Durham
On the 11th August, Saturday, we attended Emma and Andrew’s wedding. We arrived the Ramside Hall in Durham at 9:30am so that I could capture Andrew and Richard (his brother) preparing for the day. At 11:08am, we made our way to St. Michael’s Church. This was followed by a reception at the Ballroom of Ramside Hall. It is quite eye-opening to attend an English wedding; in a Chinese wedding the reception (banquet) is normally held in the evening whereas in an English wedding, it is held at lunchtime. There was also a buffet dinner and dance party at 7:30pm. More people joined the evening do. The wedding was very well…
