It was such a beautiful wedding at Repulse Bay, Hong Kong. That’s not all I have to say, because I have the below for your viewing pleasure:

Here’s a slight update for our Greece bridal photography trip in August 2008.

For those who have seen either of us, there was always this “problem” of a make up artist. we MAYYYYYYYY be having a makeup artist on board and she’s none other than one of our brides herself!!

Nothing is confirmed yet, but I thought an update would be nice to also show you this site!!

In particular, plenty of photos of Santorini can be found at this direct link.

Email me now even if for fun! santorini@expressivelyjoho.com

on a side note: william and i were discussing over supper other destinations for 2009… haha yeah man, have to plan early. there was a little twinkle in our eyes when we thought of … Morocco!! mar/apr seems like a good time.

how’s this for an email address to send to if you think it’s a good idea!: morocco@expressivelyjoho.com

right… subsequent to server migration, my emails had problems… for some reason my smtp server was off for at least 12 hours and there i was happily replying emails and wondering why i didn’t get a single email for 12 hours….

so anywayz… i found out and turned it back on but this is the deal, i’m not sure what exactly happened in the last 12 hours so if you are expecting something from me, please resend. if you have just sent something to me please resend. if you haven’t sent anything to me, why aren’t you doing so????????

=P

bloody server migration… i didn’t remember migrating to australia when i was 13 to be that painful….

had to migrate my server and so you might have experienced some down time and erratic behavior… i HOPE it’s all settled down now, but if anyone is experiencing any difficulties or want to give any feeback, i would love to hear it. you know how to contact me. =)

Thanx to a special “two leaf clover” (?) i now have a very very cooooooooooooooool blog on wordpress, fully hosted on my own, and with tonnes of new features and gadgets (or at least the potential to have!).

continue to link me at www.expressivelyjoho.com/blog it’s still the same URL.

the blogspot/blogger one is decommissioned, but still accessible.

Dino and I have been doing a couple of E-Sessions together for our lovely couples, him on video and me on photo, and with this combi, here’s what happens:

Click on image for video. (lovely artwork by Dino, i have no idea where he finds the time to doll up his DVDs so….!)

Generally, an E-Session stands for “engagement” session, and it’s not so much that the couples are engaged (to be married) but rather for the photo/videographer to engage with the couple before the Wedding Day so everyone is comfortable with each other. With Dino and I clowning around, we are already comfortable before the E-Session starts, so actually can cancel it, just that they already paid, so we went ahead to have more fun! =P

I have not been selling this package actively, rather have been talking about it to some couples who have booked me and/or Dino for AD photo/video.

One perhaps, not so obvious advantage of this combo is that you have a video to showcase at your wedding banquet, should you choose not to take up express edits from the photo or video package, or if you do not want to show the baby/growing up photos…

Anyway, let me/us know if you’re interested to do such a package, we always have alot of fun and we do NOT plan anything, we just go SOMEWHERE and take SOMETHING and really test the random chaos theory. =)

This couple reminds me of a couple of things:

mouths wide open in laughter is NOT ugly!

and… on a more serious note, they remind me of the respect, gratitude, and compliments for my life’s work that not only they, but many of my couples have graciously given me. this is something i can only TRY to thank them for by producing these images, and promise to keep continuing… (even when i’m sick!)

Guys, i will TRY to visit you guys in shanghai, maybe enroute to xi’an while visiting my parents, IF they are still there WHEN i get round to it. notice the lack of commitment in my statement? =P

PICTURES PLEASE!
