debora & hubert – engagement session

As I am working on the post-processing of Debora & Hubert’s engagement photos, I couldn’t help but to share with you some of the beautiful images taken.

There are many things that Debora, Hubert and I have in common.  We all love appreciating wine.  Hubert and Debora are both experts in wine (I am just an amateur for sure).  Indeed, as far as I know, Hubert proposed to Debora when they were visiting Chateau Margaux in Bordeaux.  Another thing that Hubert and I have in common is that we both turned our hobby to our profession.  As a wine lover, Hubert has stepped out of his circle and built a very successful wine business in just a few years.

We were blessed with a very beautiful summer day.  We’ve got lots of great images.  My favourite image of the day:

It’s really very hot, so we started off by shooting indoor at Hubert’s place.  We had a lot of window light on that day so I used that to create this image:

A beautiful portrait of Debora:


Location is certainly not the most important factor of creating beautiful portraits.  Lighting is always the number one consideration.  Guess where we got the following two very cool images?  Click here to see the real scene.   Two very nice portraits created using window light and some reflected light bounced back by the wall:

Some more photos at Sai Kung.  It was way too hot!

Gorgeous! 

We then went to Hubert’s winery for more photos.  Many thanks Hubert & Debora for the fine wine!

Love this one, resembling the scene of the very popular wine comic “Drops of God”:

Congratulations to Debora & Hubert.  Can’t wait to shoot at your wedding!

August 10, 2010 - 8:59 pm cicy - Dear Phillip.好開心見到啲相!遲些在Debora wedding 再見!cicy:>

August 10, 2010 - 11:24 pm Philip - Cicy, my pleasure working with you! See you soon :D

August 11, 2010 - 1:51 am Zabrina - These are awesome pre-wedding images Philip!

August 11, 2010 - 10:22 am Hubert - Philip, these photos are absolutely stunning! We were so lucky to have the blue sky on the day to take these shots. It was incredibly hot but well worth it!

August 11, 2010 - 11:59 am Philip - Thanks Hubert! Both you and Debora are amazing! It's not easy to look natural in such a hot day, but you two did very well. Bravo!

think positive – ella koon

Apart from weddings I occasionally do some commercial shoots.  Recently I’ve had the chance to photograph Ella Koon for a magazine.

I was so excited when I knew that I could take pictures for Ella.  I was first attracted by Ella’s voice when her first album “Original” was released in 2004.    Obviously, Ella is very attractive, but the downside is that everyone only pays attention to her beautiful look, not her musical talent.  For five years, no one knew that Ella could sing well, even though she had already released four albums.   Her great voice was only re-discovered on the TV show “The Voice” in September last year.  Even so, I suspect that not many people are aware that Ella is also a musician who can play piano, guitar, drums and Gu-zheng all very well.

Ella is a very cheerful and happy person.   She always think positively.  I could strongly feel that throughout the shoot.   Even though it was a rainly day, Ella was not worried about that.  It turned out that the rain stopped when we started (and it rained again once we finished).

Don’t Worry, Be Happy!

Here are just some of the images:

Ella’s latest album “Being” has been released.  Let’s check out her Facebook Fan Page here.

Of course, please also check out my Facebook Fan Page here!  : p

the wedding day of donna & tony

I have finished working on some of the photo shoots during the last two months.   It’s time to share with you some of them :D

The first one I’d like to share is the very sweet wedding of Donna and Tony.  As with all the guests on that day, I and my team enjoyed the wedding so much.   Both Donna and Tony have a heart that filled with love.   I would like to take this opportunity to thank them for engaging our team to shoot at their wedding.   I hope that the images could speak for themselves.  Congratulations to Donna & Tony!

Getting ready before the wedding ceremony:

Love Donna’s hair-styling.  Simple and elegant:

In the morning before the tea ceremony:

The morning prayer, giving thanks with a grateful heart:

Crazy “bridal pick-up” games!   It’s so much fun that Donna couldn’t help peeking:

Hurray!

The very nice and happy bridal party:

At the church:

Very nice decoration and lighting at the wedding reception.   The butterflies were a very nice touch:

Bottoms up!
