To our Friendship

Weddings are a great magnet to bring friends (from all stages of life) together.
Friends and family took all the effort to fly from all parts of the world, sometimes, only for a weekend (or sometimes even just for the night! with 12 hours flight!).

To thank the team of bridesmaid, the Bride has organized a special photoshoot session dedicated to the team - And? To their Friendship..

Location: Madera Hotel, Hong Kong

Preparation:

Hand-made bouquet!

Love the lace!

How I love these Preparation shots

We want everything to be perfect, said the team

What a sweet moment (The bride's sister helping to put the veil on)

The Gorgeous Team & Bride

The Session:

I just couldn't miss this opportunity with the natural light. Natural light, Natural beauty.

I particularly like the photo on the right - I can feel the connection

So into it - (Maybe they are talking about shoes?)

The Most Powerful form of LOVE (LV's Pregnancy Photos)

Is this the softest but at the same time, the most powerful form of LOVE?

There is almost no need for words.

See. Feel. And one will understand.

Kids. Love. Fun - Hayley's 1st Birthday

Being a parent in the 21st century is just not easy!

First step into the party of Hayley's 1st birthday, the wonderful decorations are what that caught my eye. Consistent theme and colors from self-made decorations filled the walls, welcome signs and even details like popcorn holders and party hats!!! (How many late nights Mum?)

If I have to distill my impressions of the party into 3 words, it will have to be:

- Kids:- don't you love the unpredictable nature of kids? "Smile pls!" -- And he turns away... And the next second? he is laughing like a glowing sun.

- Love:- So much love can be seen from the parents (and grandparents) in this party. Reminds me of my own childhood days!

- Fun:- How can it not be, when you are surrounded by a bunch of beautiful kids who make you want to laugh (and cry?)

Location: A private residence @ Hong Kong

My client: A group of unpredictable kids!

Part 1: The Preparations

21st Century Parenting books now need a new Chapter:
"How to host a memorable 1st party....with a consistent design theme!"

Cutie pie party hats!

Even down to the details!!! (Thumbs up for you Mum!)

Happy Birthday Hayley!!

"Come to me, my cutie~"

"Hmm...Thanks Mum, I feel so warm and happy today!"

Part 2: The Fun, The Joy, The Outdoor party-land!

To be honest, a half day kids party photographic task can be more tiring than a full day's work for a wedding! All the running around, all the catching of actions, and all the laughing till you drop (just can't help it!). But in the end of the day, the photos with the cute kids smiles makes it all worthwhile...
