Stephanie and Jason live and work in the UK, and they plan to have a lovely summer wedding there this year. However, they decided to come back to Hong Kong to take some engagement photographs, and I’m glad they discovered me through their friend’s recommendation and after looking at my work on my website. After a few emails, we confirmed the time and finally came the day of the shoot. Since they want to leave the wedding gown for their wedding this summer, Stephanie decided to wear a lovely cocktail dress and a gorgeous red qipao for the shoot.

Even though Hong Kong is developing and changing by the second, there are certain parts of Hong Kong that still preserve the nostalgic feeling of the olden days, such as in Central and Sheung Wan. Since the couple is a great fan of the retro Chinese feeling of olden day Hong Kong, we decided to go to Wing Lee Street in Sheung Wan and even some temples for the shoot. It was indeed great fun exploring these places with Stephanie and Jason. In the evening, we took pictures with the beautiful Victoria Harbour as the backdrop. This is a signature of Hong Kong, and the view of the glorious lights and skyscrapers certainly never gets old!

Review

We are very happy that Patrick is our engagement photographer. We lived aboard and have painfully browsed through many HK photographers online. Patrick was our first choice – we wanted photos that are natural and timeless (no heavy photoshopping!), thoughtfully capture emotions and display technical skills. We also wanted to have a balanced mix of scenery pictures to showcase the traditional elements of HK that we are fond of. I m glad to have come across Patrick! We exchanged a few emails, phone conversations and had a face to face meeting to plan the theme and logistics of the day.

Patrick was very patient and listened to our needs. He understood our vision quickly, and his photos clearly exceeded our expectations. They will make an excellent addition the our wedding album – I can’t help looking at the photos again and again!

Patrick is a very professional and competent photographer and it was a great pleasure to work with him.
