Having been a professional wedding photographer in Hong Kong for many years, I’m now getting booked for more and more destination weddings in far flung and exotic locations such as India, Thailand and the USA. Preparing for any wedding is a big job, but shooting a huge event somewhere unfamiliar requires a whole new level of attention to detail. It’s an honor to be chosen as someone's destination wedding photographer, and of course you want to do your couple proud.

Most of my time as a Hong Kong-based professional photographer is spent photographing weddings, events and portraits.

For me, the best thing about being a professional wedding photographer is getting to share in the most beautiful and meaningful moments of a couple’s big day. Every wedding has its own special highlights, and they’re not always at the times you might expect. Here are some of my favorite wedding photography moments, part 1…

No, this isn’t a magazine shoot or a film set - you’ve stumbled across a couple taking pre-wedding photographs.

Whether you’re an actor, a yoga teacher or a CEO, a decent headshot is an essential marketing tool in your professional arsenal, one that could make the difference between landing a gig or not. While it may seem like the simplest of photography tasks - it’s only the head after all - I’ve learnt through my many years as a professional photographer in Hong Kong that taking the perfect headshot isn’t as easy as it looks.

On April 16, 2017, Hong Kong was showered in a shimmer of sequins and leg-shaking as DA-BANGG, the most epic Bollywood live tour on the planet, came to the city for one night only.  As the official event photographer this was by far the biggest and most prestigious medley of superstars that have come across my lens to date!
