Hello everyone!
I'm back! Just touched down at 7 plus today..
I really enjoyed my photoshoot alot! It was an extremely memorable experience, so memorable that I did not enjoy Disneyland (the day after the photoshoot) as much as the photoshoot!
Here are the details of my trip:
Gown Fitting: I spent around 3 hours to choose my gowns. Shermie was my coordinator and it was pretty tiring for her, having to climb up and down to get the gowns I liked. Really appreciated her effort in choosing and getting the gowns for me to try. The gowns are really nice! Tell them what kind of details you like and they will try to find and let you try.
Photoshoot:
Preparations: Do wear a pair of shorts inside. Fortunately, Kodomo told me to wear, or else I would not have known. During the photoshoot, the photographer or the assistant will help you pull your gown etc to "rearrange" the gown to look nice for the photo and especially during the outdoor shoot, you have to carry up your gown to walk.
Crew: My photographer was Jun, assistant was Joe and MUA was Meiling. They really took great care of me and my HTB, making sure that we do not catch a cold etc.
Jun was really good at guiding us on how to pose. The poses he taught me were very sweet, demure and elegant! He was very patient in telling us how to pose. Really very thankful for his guidance!
Meiling kept making sure that my makeup was ok. Her makeup skills are very good! I have gone for makeup for dinners etc before and not one could hide my freckles. But Meiling managed to hide my freckles, making my skin look flawless! She is really good at doing hairstyles as well! Really loved my hairstyles, something very different from the usual me. Haha.
Joe was the assistant who helped us throughout the photoshoot. He was such a joy to have around. If you cannot smile, he would be there to make you smile.
Experience: Before I went to Hongkong, I went to see the next 7 days weather forecast and saw that the weather on the day of my photoshoot is partly cloudy and with the lowest temperature. However, on the day of the photoshoot, the weather was perfect. It wasn't extremely cold with alot of winds. Before we set off, Meiling kept telling me that on the yacht, the winds would be very strong. However, there was not much wind at all when we were on the yacht! Throughout the whole shoot, we did not have to wait for other couples to finish taking photos of certain areas. Everything was planned properly and every minute was used for phototaking, at most some times to stop for drinking water and eating. And the photoshoot was very comfortable as I wore slippers for the whole outdoor photoshoot. Only in the studio, then I wore my heels as I need to pose for some pictures which shows my legs.
Overall: I miss my photoshoot the next morning I woke up! It was a really good experience, an experience you would not have if you have gone for a normal holiday in Hongkong. At the end of the photoshoot, I requested for a group photo so that I can keep for memory. I was so thankful to the crew for the great effort they have put in that I went to print out the photos and gave to them. Hope they have received it!
To Jun, Meiling and Joe: Thank you for the great experience! We are really grateful for your professionalism, patience and care! With heartfelt thanks!
