I know I'm mixing old posts and new works. The last few months have been crazy with a lot of work, travel and new challenges. During CNY I was in Spain and on my return I reviewed all the post still pending to be published and the entries in the portfolio that I had to add. There are a few and I promise to upload all in the coming weeks. Today I wheat the wedding of Mandy and Neil. They prepared something very special with family and friends. It was the kind of wedding that goes beyond the celebration is more an authentic party.
Another cool wedding today here.
Tiago contacted with me to make the pictures of his wedding in Hong Kong. As in other weddings that I have attended in recent years, the logistics were a bit complicated. Tiago lives in Switzerland and his now wife Anfra in the Philippines. All the guests came from Portugal and the Philippines and had to organize everything from long distance.
About a year and a half ago we came to live in Hong Kong and we definitely moved our studio to this part of Asia.
Since then, we have been fortunate enough to tell stories of dozens of couples, not only from Hong Kong but from the most remote places in the world. Canada, Australia, Thailand, Ukraine, Malaysia, UK, Singapore ... are just a few examples. It's been great to meet people from different places and tell their love stories, each one totally different. Each one absolutely magical.
Something curious has happened. Since our last wedding in Spain, we had not had a session with Spanish again. Maria and Salva came to change this. It has been great to meet such a great and fun couple. It has been fantastic to share jokes and be able to spend the day of the wedding with them and also in Spanish. A very special, intimate and fun wedding.
A couple of weeks ago we went to enjoy and make some pictures to the wedding of Vivienne and Mark.
The wedding was in Grand Hyatt in Wanchai in a very beautiful environment celebrating with all the family.
I told here a lot of times how wonderful is wedding photographer. Couples that starts as customers and become friends. Know a lot of new people and very different kind of people that share with you intimate moments and wonderful stories. All of this, making the thing you most love, capturing memories with your camera.
Other times, it's quite different like in this post. I know Vera long years ago. She is one of the best friends of Kelly, so for us this is very special session.
When Daria wrote me asking about be the photographer of her wedding she alerted me that the wedding will be something small and special. She was right. Daria is from Ukraine and Ben, his now husband, from Australia. They decided make a intimate wedding in Going Kong before go to live China. I loved their love story and I think we connects fast.
The wedding day was rainy and quite cold, but as usual this is not very important. Dasha and Ben were very happy and excited for the wedding and they enjoyed a lot during the celebration and the small session we made. Sometimes the only big you need in your wedding day is the love to share one each other, the rest could be intimate, small and wonderful at the same time.
Effie and Kevin has two weddings celebration. The first happened in Singapore as is the Effie's home country and the second one in Hong Kong, the place where they are living and the Kevin's city. If make one wedding is a hard job for the couple, I can't imagine two in just a few weeks!
We published some months ago the pre-wedding session of them here. You can see the portfolio entry of the engagement session here. Effie and Kevin is the kind of couple that enjoy together because they are natural and funny. I want to share with all of us a few pictures of their wedding in Hong Kong.
I want to share with all of you today the slideshow of Yisan and Kevin Wedding day and some of the pictures in the Portfolio section.
Thanks and congratulations again! Yisan and Kevin are the kind of couples I like to have... Smart, funny and with a lot of humor sense.
]]>A very special post this time.
I am happy to be photographer because I love my job, I love be storyteller with my images and share with the people in a very special moment of their lives. But above all of this, I have the good luck to become very good friend of the couples that I know. Sometimes just have good feeling and work smooth in their wedding day, other times we keep the contact and have nice relationship. Other times even we become really friends. This is the case of Lamphay and Paulo.
The story comes quite long now. they contacted with me in early 2015 because they will get married in Portugal. Paulo is Portuguese and Lamphay is Thai but they are living in Canada so want to make a small celebration in Portugal with Paulo's family.
So we met in August 2015 in Sintra in a really cute and elegant wedding. Actually you can see a review in my portfolio here. One year later they decided to celebrate the wedding with friends in Thailand at the same time that we just moved our studio from Spain to Hong Kong they hired us again for the wedding in a paradise island called Ko Samiu. After that, we are more than simple friends so for me is very special show some pictures of the celebration in Thailand.
