I dipped into the archives a bit to post this one, but to this day it's still one of my favourite weddings that I've shot. Jasmine & Rob (aka Mr & Mrs Smith) got married three years ago on an unexpectedly rainy day in Hong Kong. As a prominent fashion stylist in HK (check out her new lingerie line, Raven + Rose), Jasmine put together an incredibly stylish day with the help planners Quintessentially Events.

I've had the pleasure of photographing many Chinese tea ceremonies over the years. I always look forward to the shapes, colours, and quiet ritual of them.
It's hard to pick my favourite weddings that I've shot, but if I had to choose, Natalie & Jasper's Hong Kong wedding would definitely make the shortlist for 2015. The day started off beautifully at N&J's downtown apartment, and only got better from there. A few of my favourite highlights:
- The wedding stationary (all designed by Natalie herself)
- The ceremony venue at the Peak Garden (I love that place)
- Natalie's dress; it was gorgeous (by Mira Zwillinger). Her makeup by Kalam Makeup was fantastic too
- The ceremony DJ (you don't see nearly enough phonographs these days)
- The reception venue at the Butcher's Club
- The flamingo wedding cake
- The table settings, and all the other little details
The team at Bliss Creations did a great job at making this day come together. Thank you to Susanna Yeung for assisting me on the day.
