Romantic Happiness 2
I love it when TVB artists endorse wedding advertisements and it’s even better when the shots turn out as lovely as this newest set of Elaine Yiu and Vin Choi. My all-time favorite couple so far, of course is still Niki Chow and Kevin Cheng. No other couple has managed to beat their chemistry yet. (Not counting real life couple Kenix Kwok and Frankie Lam.) For this particular set, Elaine and Vin makes for a refreshing, young and energetic partnership but they only look like lovers in a few shots. Most of the time, they give off the feeling of old-time friends. Nevertheless, I really like the quality and variety in the shots. From background settings to the wardrobes of both bride and groom to special effects, everything mixes in well and gives off a playful, romantic radiance.
As far as expressions, I think Elaine did a better job. Her smiles are very bright and genuine, and she appears extraordinarily happy, as if she’s in a fairytale. Vin is somewhat wooden and his smiles often seem distant to me. It could be that’s a “man” thing–to act reserved in photoshoots and come across cooler. Still, I really like this wedding set and actually hope Elaine and Vin will have a chance in the future to collaborate in a drama as lovers.
