The Importance of Photo Albums

Many wedding photography packages in the market require their clients to pay an additional price for a designed photo album, however, at The Stage we not only give it away as a present to the newly wed couples (snapshot packages, please contact The Stage for the latest packages), it is also professionally designed according to our client's requirements, reason being, we treat our clients as individuals and we want to do our job to the best we can.

For myself, I believe photos have a much bigger impact if they are viewed within a professionally designed album than stand alone since it gives the viewer a greater sense of coverage in what have happened during a wedding or a pre-wedding shoot. All the albums created by The Stage are designed by a team of professional designers working for The Stage full time.

Keeping the designing phase within The Stage, it allow the photographers and designers to have much more interactions in communicating their ideas in order to produce the best output as the photographers can give the designers a first person view of what they want to express when taking a particular photo.

I'm very happy that Valerie and Marco gave me their recommendations to post some of their pre-wedding album pages up on my blog (please contact The Stage if you want to view the whole album), it was taken sometime last year in Sydney and I sincerely hope they like the designed album!

Please goto the following site for the rest of their shoot. Part 1 and Part 2

Also, I would like to say a big thank you to Nicky for his company during the two days of shooting!

Nicole and Jerry (featuring May and Ivan!)

Today was hot, humid, stuffy and extremely bright and we stuck out in the midday sun for over three hours! Eventhough we only stayed in TST's "Red House" it was not a very comfortable experience especially for Nicole and Jerry!

Jerry is Ivan's cousin (friend of mine) and Ivan and his wife (May) also tagged along to help out during the day, if it wasn't for their help, I'm sure the three of us will be melted already.


Nicole and Jerry was a fun pair to work with (especially after they've eaten lunch) so the hot weather and bright sunlight didn't affect us from enjoying the day.



We've stayed in the shadows (but believe me..not much cooler) for most of the three hours since whenever we are out in the sun, Jerry will sweat like crazy...if you look closely...you can see Jerry's sweat (deliberately didn't remove it from the photos heehee...)



Eventhough it was hot, the couple still perform exceptionally well, even under the sun!


As you can see from their bright smiles, they certainly did enjoy the day!




As the sun was high up during midday...I took this chance to try out infrared photography...eventhough the photo didn't turned out as good as I expected it to be...but I think is worth trying again next time....

As May and Ivan was also here...we took a couple of photos while Nicole and Jerry was having lunch (yep...in their wedding outfit right in the middle of TST)





Hope all of you like the photos and thank you for making this extremely hot day goes a bit faster... =)

Clarice is two months old today la!

So happy that Clarice is two months old today!! She's a very happy child and sincerely hope that she will remain this way for the whole of her life and more importantly bring the same happiness to the people around her!

Wendy and Kenneth

Today was a dreadful day...heavy rains, thunderstorms, tight schedule and can't take any outdoor portraits...however, this didn't dampen Wendy and Kenneth's enthusiasms and determinations on their big day!

It was these enthusiasms and willingness to make the best out of the weather that got us through a very hectic day and I was very thankful that I had such a nice couple to work with!



Wendy does have very beautiful eyes...


The 兄弟 didn't have to walk along the 石春路, they have to JUMP on it!


Kenneth followed chinese traditions (which was a first for me!) when picking up the bride!





Due to the very very bad weather, we only can take photos in the clubhouse...hope it didn't spoil their feelings too much...




Their great day was topped up by a stunning performance from 呂姍!! Hope you like our photos and hope you are not that disappointed for not able to take outdoor portraits la!

Vince and Eddy

This was my first job after my three months paternity leave and I was very very lucky to have Vince and Eddy as my first couple! They were friendly, talkative, helpful and extremely willing to try new ideas even in such a hot day!

During the dinner time, I found out they've hired Kenneth (from The Stage) for their pre-wedding and Irene (also from The Stage) for their registration...luckily I find this out during dinner...if it was in the morning, I probably will stress myself too much from knowing the two best photographers from The Stage has taken photos for them!


As there was no registration today, we've had plenty of free time in taking photos and also allow us to try many new things, eventhough some of them didn't worked as much as I wanted but it was a great experiences!










Hope my photos didn't disappoint both of you too much and sincerely hope both of you a happy married life!!

Clarice Yeung

My Baby Daughter, Clarice Yeung.

Born on 3rd of April, 2009, weighing in at 7.6 pounds and measuring at 50cm long!

Eventhough my life changed after her arrival, have to wake up several times at night, almost no social life, but is all worth it when I see her smiles...

Hope she will be a healthy and a good girl la.
