Serena and Jonathan’s Engagement Session in Central, Hong Kong

Serena and Jonathan first met in the UK but now live in Singapore. They met each other working together (another work couple!) at Industrial Light & Magic. I’m not much of a Star Wars fan but I do consider myself a bit of a movie buff and in my mind I can’t think of many other cooler jobs than making movies at ILM. During one of their recent visits to Hong Kong we shot engagement photos around Central and I had to restrain myself from asking all sorts of gushy questions about their work. Fortunately they had no problems focusing on each other and ignoring me and my camera. In fact, for every location we stopped at it wouldn’t be more than a minute before they were making each other laugh. I couldn’t help but to think that this is how all engagement sessions should be – casual, simple and fun. Its a beautiful thing to see a couple that were naturally made for each other and a privilege to be able to photograph – very much looking forward to their Hong Kong wedding later this year!

Stephanie and Adam’s Engagement Session in Hong Kong

Hong Kong Engagement Session Outdoor Blue Wall Bride and Groom Save The Date

Stephanie and Adam met each other in San Francisco while working at the same company (why don’t more couples meet at work?!). They share an affinity for cupcakes, Din Tai Fung soup dumplings, and Adam does particularly well with picking up languages – including Cantonese. After recently moving to Hong Kong together, Stephanie and Adam began planning their destination wedding in Bali and they decided that their engagement photos should not only represent their new home city, but also properly welcome their overseas wedding guests to Asia on their save-the-dates and wedding invitations.


Here are some photos from our photoshoot in Wan Chai, Central and Tsim Sha Tsui.

Legend Fighting Championship 6 at City of Dreams Macau

Macau City of Dreams Legend6 MMA Adrian Pang Jadamba Narantungalag right hook punch jab sweat

MMA fight promotion, Legend Fighting Championship 7 is teed up to hit Macau this weekend, and I’ll once again be photographing the action ringside.

Its an exciting time for the sport – with the UFC making the strides it has in the US with its Fox deal, and continuing to set new standards in production (have you checked out the new opening sequence? Friggin’ awesome!). I look forward to every Legend event, but particularly this one since it has been awhile since the Hong Kong and Macau region has hosted an MMA fighting event.

Here are some of my favorite shots from Legend 6 in October 2011.

Anne and Jean-Marie’s Engagement Session in Hong Kong

Hong Kong Engagement Portrait Session Shoot Central Soho Stairs Old Street

One of the downsides of living in a vibrant, transient city like Hong Kong is that too often people come and go. Such was the case for Anne and Jean-Marie, who after only a short stint in Hong Kong were returning to France late last summer. Bittersweet as it is returning home, Anne wanted to capture a bit of the old and new to commemorate their time living here in Hong Kong. So we set out to wander around the Central area, and ended up shooting in Lan Kwai Fong, Hong Kong Park and IFC among a few others.

Thank you to the talented Ka Lam for the makeup for this shoot.
