Wedding at the Eastnor Castle – Janet & Ernest
Wedding ceremony: Great Malvern Priory Wedding venue: Eastnor Castle Is it necessary for a professional wedding photographer to make a visit to see the wedding venue before hand? When it comes to a wedding i.e Eastnor Castle which is 256 miles from Newcastle (where I am based), I prefer to arrive at least a day early, so that I could make a visit to look around the place and to prepare lighting setup, test on locations. Having said that, sometimes due to other work commitment I am unable to visit the wedding venues: Malvern Priory Church and Eastnor Castle where my couple Janet and Ernest got married at.

Phew. After several months of shooting weddings in Paris and Rome, I am very pleased to come ‘home’ (I hear Michael Bublé’s song – “Home” in the background :)) to photograph a long-awaited wedding at the Bamburgh Castle.

Kelly & Chi – Pre-wedding Photography in Macau

Apart from Hong Kong, I believe that this is another exciting location for photographs as I always wanted to do more shoots in Asia. Kelly is a good friend of mine and she was also one of the bridesmaids in my wedding. When she asked me to do the pre-wedding shoot for her and Chi, I am excited and I feel honoured to be part of their wedding journey. I still remember the time Kelly, Candy , Elaine and I were going to sell “Flag Stamp” for one of the…

Valerie & Juston – Pre-wedding shoot in Paris
It is always a pleasure to work with couples from the States especially Valerie & Juston from San Francisco. I am sure it is because of the sunshine in San Francisco, that’s why they have such a positive and upbeat mood during the photoshoot. They could not stop smiling all day long! I still remember the first time when I walked into their hotel room as Valerie opened the door. It was like opening a gift 🙂 because we didn’t have a meeting or meet each other beforehand. We went straight onto the streets to start the photo-shoot session after 5 minutes of discussion about the places and route of…
