Make sure to remind guests about what to wear. This is very important. Imagine this: you have a garden wedding and you have guests who come in stilettos–they will have the hardest time walking around! Or if the venue has special requirements for no jeans and sandals, or if you wish the guests to follow your color theme! Even up until the week before the wedding, don’t be shy to remind everyone about the wedding attire.

July 31, 2020 / Posted by in Boudoir

Are you planning to have a boudoir shoot? If you answered yes, then you should stay a while to read today’s article. We talked to Hong Kong boudoir photographers and asked them for all the essential tips for an intimate boudoir photo session. Dig in now to get the 101 on everything–preparations, styling, posing, and more!

 

(1) Book in advance.

Hilary Chan highly recommends that brides book their boudoir shoot at least two months in advance. This will give you more time to prepare for the shoot–working out, make meal plans and prepare outfits.

 

(2) Don’t wait until you “get into perfect shape”.

Don’t let your self doubt stop you, says Tammy Shun. The most valuable thing of a boudoir shoot is having each bride see and acknowledge the beauty in herself, no matter what your shape is. Your photographer will always find the best angle and highlight not only the physical beauty you posses, but also your innate beauty.

 

(3) Have a detailed consultation with your photographer.

Having a consultation with your photographer is really important. Your photographer needs to understand your desired outcome and your comfort level. For example, some people are comfortable to go full nude in a shoot, while some may want to be more conservative. Open up to your photographer, advises Hilary Chan, so that you get the shots you want.

July 30, 2020 / Posted by in Hong Kong Weddings

With the COVID-19 pandemic still making wedding planning extra challenging for all couples, Crystal and Leo were faced with the tough decision of whether to push through with their Big Day or postpone it for a later date. After careful thought and consideration, they decided on having a simple outdoor ceremony at Kerry Hotel within a month. “It was a risky decision,” shares Crystal, the bride, “and we needed to spend another sum of money during the tough time, but it turned out to be our dream wedding, complete with our loved ones, cozy weather–simple and surrounded by blessings!” See more of their intimate wedding below, documented by MC Photography.

Crystal and Leo are very thankful to all their wedding vendors who allowed them to defer the booking of their wedding banquet for free with flexible arrangements. “We appreciate their help!”, says Crystal. For other brides and grooms who are struggling with their wedding planning at a time like this, here are some tips from the couple.

(1) Stay up-to-date with the government policy. New regulations ruin every couples’ plan. For instance our banquet needed to be postponed as expected. Be ready to adjust.

(2) Prepare for the best, prepare for the worst at the same time. Have back up plans because you never know what will happen as the weeks go by.

(3) As you prepare your contingency plan, constantly communicate with your vendors so they can adjust too.
