From Hong Kong to San Francisco, a touching engagement story......

It was a pleasant surprise when I received a copy of Hong Kong Cosmopolitan Brides magazine featuring my engagement session for Connie and Jack. After graduating from college in California, Connie and Jack moved back to reside in Hong Kong. But when they decided to get marry, San Francisco became their first choice for engagement session. This was a special session for me because the bride Connie is an extraordinary pianist and music educator. Due to her congenital deficiency, she was born with only three full fingers and had undergone a series of orthopedic surgeries to correct her fingers’ disfigurement throughout her childhood. It was only after she finished all the surgeries that Connie began her piano studies. She graduated at the Chinese University of Hong Kong in music, majoring in piano performance. Then she earned her M.A. and Ph.D in ethnomusicology from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).She has received Hong Kong's prestigious 10 Outstanding Young Person's Award in recognition for her efforts and contribution in music education. Connie and Jack are both devoted Christians and the love and connection between them have touched me deeply during this session.
