Suet Yi . Him’s Kyoto Pre-wedding 京都櫻花

In Kyoto京都, April is the time when the gorgeous Sakura櫻花 reach their full blossom. Suet Yi and Him were amongst many couples who wished to have their pre-wedding photos taken under the romantic Sakura櫻花 trees, and I’m honoured to make their dreams come true by travelling to Kyoto with them last April. After a quick discussion about the details of the trip, we swiftly made flight and accommodation arrangements for this exciting trip.

One change that I witnessed in Kyoto京都 this time around was that every single attraction was filled with tourists, both from Hong Kong and the mainland. Surely this was an obstacle for photo-taking. Another issue we had was the rainy weather, which made Suet Yi and Him worried that this once in a life-time pre-wedding would be ruined.

I always tell couples before trips that in photo-taking, there are many unpredictable things. No matter how detailed your planning and arrangements are, the weather is one thing you can never plan for. However, even if you’re not lucky enough to have your pictures taken on a beautiful, sunny day, there still isn’t too much to worry about as many attractions are not located entirely outdoors and many have places of shelter.

For Suet Yi and Him’s pre-wedding, we were fortunate that it only rained intermittently, which gave us a window of time for the photo shoot. Further, I always try my best to preserve the warm colour and atmosphere in pictures through the photo taking and editing process. In the end, they were pleasantly surprised when they saw the finished product as the warmth and beauty of the Sakura櫻花 were preserved in the pictures despite the gloomy weather.

Apart from the photos, I also filmed some behind-the-scenes videos of the pre-wedding trip for Suet and Him, which I believe gives an extra dimension when they look back at the videos together with the pictures in the future. All in all, it was a great trip and I’m glad that my work brought a smile on their faces!
