Hong Kong to Okinawa

Wayyyyyyy before the summer I was contacted by Maggie and Mark. They wanted pre-wedding photos taken. When I heard the word photo shoot and wedding together, I was a little apprehensive. Weddings are not really on my agenda. I have been contacted to do a couple and have had to graciously say no (unless I can tag team with another photographer).

But, apparently pre-wedding destination photography is quite common in Hong Kong. Yes, they are from Hong Kong and I think I can thank Google for them finding me! I suppose it is similar to engagement/couple photography, so I was definitely up for the challenge and the chance to do this shoot.
It was different to my normal photo shoots in that it was multiple locations more in the North of the island. Maggie and Mark had all the locations worked out before they even arrived on island! It was HOT, but we got some great shots, I think!

I have so many shots I love, but here's just a sample...Mark giving his beautiful bride to be a loving kiss...

Fun at the churches...you ring my bell...

...and get me to the church on time...

They wanted some typical Okinawan backdrops, so we found some windmills...

and the lighthouse...

Also, a cliff face...

and amazing coloured ocean...

and for the icing on the cake, a wonderful sunset...

Oh My!
Now that was a workout, a great one, with some lovely results. Thanks, Maggie and Mark, it was a blast...
