Sarah & Wilson // The repulse bay // wedding day

I was absolutely thrilled when I got an inquiry from Sarah last year with a link to their gorgeous engagement session by Marianne Taylor. Marianne Taylor was chosen as the national winner for Best Wedding Photographer at The Wedding Industry Awards. I had been following her Flickr for a long time. Her works always inspire me!!

It was my great privilege to be a part of their wedding. They are so sweet individually and even sweeter together. They are so perfect for each other and I am so happy to have met them. I love all the details and decorations. Sarah (designer at Cath Kidston) is very creative. She made her wedding so personal and lots of hand-crafted details. It is one of my favorite wedding of this year.

This wedding got featured on The wedding notebook, WHITER THAN WHITE WEDDINGS, THE WEDDING NOTEBOOK MAGAZINE // APRIL 2013, South China Morning Post, Simply peachy, bridelicious and Yahoo Hong Kong style

I always let my client to plan where to have their engagement shoot. Because I want to have the photo shoot at somewhere they like and meaningful to them. This time Olivia & Alvin planed to have their photo shoot at Cheung Chau where Olivia lives. Cheung Chau is a beautiful island and this was my first time to have photo shoot there. I love to explore new place and I will get many ideas in my mind. I had such a great time exploring places and getting to know you both! : )

TRACY & MARTIN // PREGNANCY SESSION // CLIENT REVIEW

“First and formal, we are really happy with the final products from Kong Wai. At the very beginning, we are just deeply attracted by maternity photo he did for his wife. It is really lovely in first sight for us with the natural style and his unique way of presenting the picture.

Kong didn’t necessarily tell us, let alone sell us, how he is going to present our maternity shoot in our first meeting. To be absolutely honest, I am a little concerned at the first place. We have some experiences with other photographer and Kong is nothing like them. I don’t know what to expect.

Luckily, all of my doubts went away on the day we took the pictures. While the locations we picked were not ideal, he was able to improvise on the spot. He have a great vision of the picture and was able to work very efficient. He also gave us very specific instructions on how to pose for the pictures. We were so impressed when we were presented with the preview of the pictures in his blog .it’s like how can he get so many great shots in only 2 hours?!

It’s even a big surprise when the final product is delivered. The CD is so user friendly – we are given different format of the pictures for uploading and printing. The little box of USB is delicate and warm. It’s like an authentic homemade present for our baby.

Both the experience and final products are definitely one of the highlight of our brand new stage.”
