Rachel So
Wedding Photographer based in Hong Kong
I'm a wedding photographer based in Hong Kong, but am ready to travel around the world to wherever your love story takes place!
I'm easy going, values personal intimate connection, vulnerability, accepting imperfections, and enjoying the moment to have fun, so a successful shoot to me would mean being able to have my photographs reflect all that!
More about me!
If there’s one thing you’ll find out quickly after getting to know me, it’s that I love food! Lunch dates with my friends are my absolute favorite thing to do. Other than that, I also enjoy BBQ nights, heart to heart talks by the harbour, island exploration days (Lamma island specificailly has my heart ❤️), anything really as along as I’m joined by good company!
With that being said, I’m actually an introvert at heart. So as much as I love hanging out with my friends, I definitely look forward to my “me days” that I try to schedule at least once a week. To recharge, I love just walking around the city with my camera to explore all the amazing spots that Hong Kong has to offer and just shoot all day long, plus it’s like a mini location scouting trip where I get find new shooting locations, so basically win win! One last thing you need to know about me is that I’m pretty sure I have the cutest golden retriever, and I’m taking no rebuttals (:
Alright, enough about me. Let’s talk about my photography approach!
My approach towards photography is a blend of documentary shots and editorial storytelling photographs. I go from taking candids of toasts with your friends during casual chit chats or your parents wiping off their tears as they watch you walk down the aisle, to gorgeous moody photos in front of stunning landscapes or cute strolls along the sidewalks of busy streets.
I strongly believe that in order for me to photograph authentic photos, I should be able to make you feel comfortable to open up in front of me, which is why instead of viewing you guys as my client, I tend to view you guys as my friend! I try to be vulnerable and share bits and pieces of myself with you, in hopes of earning your trust to feel like you can be vulnerable with me as well! I think I'll always be admiring those who are willing to open up and share their most intimate moments with me, so if you do, I'll never appreciate you enough for letting me witness your love. (:
