Behind The Brand

What draws you to wedding photography?

Wedding photography allows me to create lasting, meaningful memories for others, and I’m truly grateful to serve as the medium for those impacts. It’s a privilege to work in an industry filled with joy and euphoria, to witness love expressed in countless unique ways, and to contribute to something greater – shaped by the creativity and collaboration of talented individuals, all united by the goal of crafting timeless and meaningful work.

How would you describe your photography style?

My photography embodies a low-key, high-end style that blends understated opulence with subtle sophistication, transcending time. I approach weddings by combining candid moments with an editorial flair, capturing the unique lifestyle and personality of each couple. This ensures their photographs remain timeless and authentic, no matter when they revisit them.

What inspires you creatively?

Light and shadow are more than tools – they are a dynamic canvas that inspires my artistic vision. Their interplay enhances compositions and brings me a deep sense of inner peace, allowing me to fully immerse myself in the moment. This harmony with the environment unlocks my creativity, guiding me to capture images that feel intuitive and expressive.

What is it that makes an image magical?

An image feels magical when it quiets my mind upon viewing. Often, these images carry a certain je ne sais quoi – an undefinable quality, marked by ample negative space, soft blurriness, or intriguing ambiguity. These elements invite the viewer’s imagination to fill in the gaps, adding personal layers of meaning.

What advice would you give couples when selecting their wedding photographer?

Choosing the right photographer starts with understanding what truly matters to the couple. Does the photographer convey their emotional language? Do their creative visions align? Do they share the couple’s core values? These qualities, beyond technical expertise, are what bring authenticity and meaning to wedding photography.

Your dream location to shoot a wedding?

Europe offers so many extraordinary wedding venues, from villas in Italy to the countryside of France and Spain. But above all, I’d love to shoot a wedding in my hometown, Hong Kong. The grand, cosmopolitan cityscape holds a special place in my heart.
