fab engagement photos

orange gerbera daisies

it was soooooooooo much fun! we met our photographer early, at 8am at lai king station to drive over to sai kung. at first, i had thought we were going to long ke wan- but it turns out she was totally talking about a different beach! she was actually talking about sai wan (even better because hkgroom and i know it very well)

so we drive into sai kung and then take a cab into the country park and go to 'sai wan pavillion' (sai wan ting) and then did a 20 minute hike to the beach where we set up and took photos.

the weather was not great- very misty with a bit of wind, and not really warm. i was a little bit bummed to begin with but i think it added a vintage-y feel to the pictures! so yay for the 'sea mist' (i.e. pollution!?)

i brought 4 outfits (jeans and black top and flip flops, a dressier grey dress with cute heels, a pastel green casual dress, and an arsenal top- a special photo for hkgroom)

hkgroom brought 3 outfits (jeans and black top and flip flops, a button down white/brown striped shirt with brown trousers and brown shoes, and matching arsenal top)

we took over a hundred photos- lots of candid shots and a couple of posed. i also bought some gorgeous flowers (pic above) in orange from a florist in lan kwai fong (chok kee flower shop) the night before as we wore neutral colours to really pop in the photos. love love love them!

the whole experience was really fun and was extra great for us because we didn't have to pay for it. getting dolled up and getting super high quality photos from a 'professional' of just the two of us... really really fun! will post photos as soon as we get them- can't wait!!!
