Lights, camera, action! Behind-the-scenes with Ken Lam

It has always been my wish to show my clients a behind-the-scenes video of how I work. Since I am based in England, I sometimes only get to meet my overseas clients on the day of the wedding photoshoot! Having a video of how I work will help my clients know what to expect on the day of the photoshoot. Last year, my dear friend and multi-awards winning videographer Pete from Engage Cinema (one of the best videographers in UK) made that happen for me.  I am so grateful to Pete, and my clients Billy & Khyle, Gordon & Carol, Yau & Evita for enabling us to make this video into a reality.

I would like to think that my No.1 fan is my 3 year old son Karl, who apart from watching Thomas & Friends and Fireman Sam, also enjoys watching this video – he always imitates me when I say the word “passion”! I hope you enjoy watching this video too.

Photograph that appeared in the video – Billy & Khyle: Pre-wedding in Paris.

I think the pre-wedding of Bob and I was one of the hard jobs you’ve ever had. But so thankful for your patience, encouragement and most importantly, your PASSION! The finishing products look amazing! Thanks Ken!

Such a lovely video that really captures Ken’s special personality.

Always in love with Ken’s work – anyone can take a photo, but it takes someone very special and talemted to capture what Ken does.

Can’t wait to see where you go next! *

Andrea - April 3, 2012 - 4:35 pm

Hello Ken,
My husband and I would love to have our honeymoon photos taken while visiting Prague this coming May.Prague is a gorgeous city that I have always dreamed to visit with my husband. Now we came across your portfolio and absolutely loved it and decided to contact you without hesitation.

We are travelling from Canada to Europe, however we have a short stay in Prague, specifically May 6th to 8th. We most wanted to stretch the session to 8-10 hours, however given our itinerary, time is very tight. But certainly we don’t want to miss the opportunity to take some photo as memories to bring with us back home. So we are looking for a 2-3 hour photo session at the Old Town and city centre.

Will you be in town on our dates? And what are your prices? Hopefully we can work together.

Look forward to your reply.
Andrea

Santorini Pre-wedding Photography – A paradise island

After the London trip 2 days ago, I had to fly to Greece for the Santorini pre-wedding photography shoot. This is probably my 8th times coming to this heavenly island.  The first time which I went to Santorini was back in 2008.  This island is full of colourful white houses surrounded by the beautiful Aegean sea which is great for wedding photos. There are people who often mention it is easy to take photos here. Beautiful things are everywhere in this island. Taking landscape photos would be easier than portraits/weddings. For wedding photos, it is always hard as there is so much light everywhere. The white houses are everywhere and act like a white reflector. It would be uncomfortable to certain people as it is so bright.  The key is to know how to find a good light source:)

Another challenge was to deal with the super strong wind and it was cold on the day.  Therefore, I always had to work and setup things up quickly. i.e. pose the couple, apply simple lighting.

My customers or fellow photographers who often ask whether I would bring along an assistant during my overseas photo shoot to help. From the customer point of view, the more the better. For us, it is about qualites rather than quantities. The answer is No as we prefer to keep it as a small team.  This help me to create the most natural wedding photographs and my customer would feel more comfortable rather than feeling they are doing commercial photo shoot.

John & Shireen -The Matfen Hall Hotel Wedding, Northumberland

The First Dance – Wedding Photojournalistic style by Ken Lam Photography

The wedding of John and Shireen was held at the Matfen Hall at the Northumberland. I always love to photograph at this beautiful venue. Not only it provides many beautiful settings. The customer services is also excellent.  They hardly gave me any restrictions on the day.  It is like a free world and Wedding PJ paradise.  I often meet some registers who tries to stop me taking photographs during the ceremony.  The worst could happens when they purposely either stand in front of the Groom while the bride walking down the aisle with her father.  The ceremony room could become a battlefield!!  How to deal with this kind of situation especially at the English wedding?  Hint: Please contact us for dates for our upcoming workshop:)in Hong Kong and Malaysia.
