Hong Kong means a lot to us and we’re usually there twice a year to shoot, so it’s pretty familiar, but Henrik and Ria showed us a Hong Kong we’ve never seen before. Well, technically, just Jeff this time. If you’ve been following the recent blog updates, I missed this trip, sadly. But I was getting updates and sneak peeks from him during breaks, it almost felt like I was there. That, and I’ve been having so much fun editing these sets!
They took a few photos in the restaurant that Henrik proposed in last year. Ria sort of had an inkling that Henrik was going to propose around that time, so whenever they went out, she would pat his pants pockets to check if he was carrying a little box in there somewhere. So that night when he planned to propose, he kept the ring in his jacket pocket. Funnily enough, in a scene reminiscent of that FRIENDS episode where Chandler was going to propose to Monica, Ria felt cold all of a sudden, and Henrik couldn’t lend her his jacket because the ring was there. Hee. But long story short, at the end of the night, Henrik asked, and she said yes.
The weather forecast predicted a thunderstorm on the day of our shoot, and we hoped against hope that the sun would shine. Maybe we overdid it a wee bit because it was the sunniest we’ve ever seen Hong Kong by far. But really, Henrik and Ria are so warm and laid back and cheery, they’re practically a sun of their own. I’m forever charmed by how two accomplished grown ups can look like such happy little kids together. When they make each other laugh, it’s almost like you can see the children they were, and I think that says a whole lot. I’m a big fan of these two. Can’t wait for their wedding!! ♥
