The bride and groom are from Hong Kong, they booked me over the internet :-) Thank you for trusting me on your special day. I started in the morning capturing the bridal hair and makeup at Meriton Service Apartment at Bondi Junction. After a simple tea ceremony the B&G drove me around the CBD for some simple formals.  The wedding civil ceremony was at the upper deck of the  international passenger terminal. It was great working with marriage celebrant Elaine Searle. The small reception dinner was at the Quay Restaurant in the upper tower with panoramic views of Sydney Harbour. Thank you for the great food !

Some relaxed portraits around Sydney. Usually I only spend 1 hour on photos, since my style is documentary, but today we captured abit more them usual. It was also great that I did not have to drive in Sydney’s crazy traffic and parking issues.

Martin Place is always nice

I like this one :)

I started at the Shangri-La Hotel in the morning capturing the bridal preparation and then walked to the couple’s apartment down the road to capture the boys. There was a simple Chinese tea ceremony for the brides parents and then went to capture some simple formals around the area. The church service was at St Peter’s North Sydney, great church with no photography by guests allowed during the service which I love !! The reception was at Quay Restaurant recently named Restaurant of the Year 2010.
