Myself being quite a ‘fobby’ person, also being a wife of a typical Hong Kong guy (the “Je” of JeZa” – Mr. Jeremy Chan?! ), I always have deep fascination about all things HK (Hong Kong). Earlier this year during their client consultation, meeting Carmen & Victor at a Hong Kong dessert cafe in San Mateo tells me instantly that I must photograph them to show their deep culture roots – a very vintage SF x HK style kinda engagement shoot, thus shooting in SF Chinatown it is. From brainstorming, creating the concept, gathering looks, picking out outfits, makeup & hair, actual shooting & post-production, every step of the way I can’t tell you how much fun we had on this assignment. I can’t wait til photographing their wedding day in less than two weeks!! Hope you enjoy looking at these pix as much as we enjoyed photographing them.
PS1. All these super awesome vintage feel photo looking this way because of Mr. Jeremy Chan, aka the photoshop wizard, who does wonders retouching them.
PS2. Every photo here involve some sort of great lighting: small flashes, video lights, one night stand by Scott Robert Studio (ooops i mean ONE LIGHT stand by Scott Robert! LOL!!!)
PS3. Thanks to wonderful hair & makeup artist extraordinaire Regard Tang for creating such Hong Kong inspired 60 era’s look. Love it!!
