Wendy and CK’s wedding in Hong Kong

HK wedding bride in white dress

Last November, in the middle of last year’s Hong Kong wedding season I had the pleasure of photographing the wedding of Wendy and CK. Wendy and I first met over drinks – we were introduced by her piano teacher who is also a good friend of mine. CK, the groom, has been a film photography enthusiast for years, but now he shoots with a Nikon D700. So yeah, we get along well =)

Wendy has been one of those invaluable supporters of mine that I mentioned in an earlier blog post, particularly with tidbits of legal advice as I was rummaging through paperwork to get my business started. So I really wanted to get a ton of great shots on her wedding day. Fortunately, the bride and groom choose some beautiful venues for their wedding day: prep at the Upper House, ceremony at Union Church and reception and tea ceremony at China Club.

Sarah and Stu’s first anniversary

Sarah and Stu married each other in the UK, but last November they celebrated the first year anniversary of their wedding day in their new home – Hong Kong. We decided to have the anniversary portrait session at Victoria Peak Garden, a spot that is slowly becoming one of my favorite shooting spots for its green grass, blue skies and beautiful sunset light.

Portraiture has always been my favorite genre of photography. One of the things that I love the most about shooting portraits is being able to meet all the different people that I photograph.

Hong Kong brings such a diverse group of people from all over the world into a relatively small community. Here are a few that I met recently.

Stéphanie and James’ wedding in Hong Kong

By ken | Published December 7, 2010

photo of bride and groom dancing with a spotlight backlit lens flare

The first time I saw James was in 2008 when he was performing “hand filter” jokes on the stage of Hong Kong’s TakeOut Comedy club. He was one of several awesome comedians that night serving up good old fashioned American humor. Little did I know that behind the funny man was an equally hilarious girlfriend named Stéphanie, and that they would eventually ask me to photograph their wedding which was last October. I also later learned that James is not only quite the romantic, but he does not easily shy away from public singing or lewd dancing.

You’ll see what I mean in the shots below from their wedding day, which conveniently started down the street from the studio in their Causeway Bay apartment before moving to the American Club in Tai Tam for the ceremony and banquet =)
