Sometimes I feel that photographs taken by the photographer reflect what kind of person the photographer is. You can tell from the photos if the photographer is romantic, humourous, or poetic. You can tell his/her likes/dislikes, what he/she thinks is important, what story he/she has to tell, if he/she is not shooting based on a template or formula.

In order to shoot weddings differently from other photographers, and to shoot each wedding different from another, it is very important to have one's own vision. for me, I am guided by instinct and feelings. When I am at the wedding, what do i feel? I feel the deep love of the couple have for each other. I feel the strong friendship between couple and bridesmaids/groomsmen. I feel the warm family ties across generations. I'll shoot photos that i want to see even 10, 20 or 30 years after my wedding, because love is timeless.

If I love the way my wife looks at me....


If I am looking for some humour....

If I am inspired by a poetic bug....
If my daughter is getting married, I want to be photographed too! (be it happy or sad)

The love story never ends.....more to come!
