20/12/2010Daniel + Eliza (Bridal Portraits)

Just over the weekend, we finished the year’s final wedding day with a short solemnization. Jean and I decided to head across the road to Daniel and Eliza’s wedding held at the St Regis to give our blessings. For once, without my camera, I stood in the position of a guest while the couple and their families gave their toast on the stage. I felt very happy for their lovely wedding, their awesome walk-up apartment and the love they share.

I had a great time photographing Daniel and Eliza’s bridal portraits. Daniel is a hilarious guy, pretty nonsensical, but in a good way I must say. We got to use one of the gorgeous rooms in St. Regis Hotel for the shoot and believe it or not, we saw one of this year’s better sunset. Eliza was stunning in the gown by Bridal Veil. The elegant and understated styling is all thanks to my good friend Jacqueline Law. I especially adore the hair and make up for the cheong sam outfit, which we shot late at night in the back alley of their walk-up apartment.

Daniel and Eliza, both of you are truly amazing individuals with great personalities. I wish you both the best in your marriage.

15/12/2010Jeremy & Agnetha – Wedding Day and Bridal Portraits

I got to know Jeremy and Agnetha earlier this year. They were part of Perry & Mery’s bridal entourage and here we are at their very own bridal shoot and wedding day.

A pilot from the same squadron where I served the national service as an aircraft technician, Jeremy and I hit it off instantly when they came to meet us at our gallery. I was further intrigued by Agnetha’s job selling really really cool furniture at Xtra. A love/hate furniture store, that sells gorgeous designer furniture that incinerates your bank account. You should have seen the look on my face when we did their portraits in the store.

Jeremy and Agnetha got married in the same church where they met each other. Earlier that same day, Jeremy and his boys, the Boars of Steel, came in their team jersey and knee high socks, only to be sent to the dressing room by Agnetha’s team of referees after some rough plays. Alas none protested, because it’s Agnetha’s dressing room! The party went on at Shangri-La Hotel. It  wasn’t just any magnificent party to brag about, it was a party filled with fun, joy and a lot of love. The video greetings that Jeremy’s brother put together was simply a class on its own.

As many would know, we started a promotion to Save the Sharks about two years ago. One gesture that truly touched me, despite the parents demand for sharks’ fin at the banquet, they decided to go against all odds to save the sharks. Jeremy’s brother, Joshua, once again deserves the applause for designing the poster.

Here are some of the preview images from their wedding party and also the slideshow of what happened in the morning.

11/10/2010Behind the Scenes

This is our very first Behind-the-scene video clip. Followed by the unedited and edited version of what we made. We want to share more of such video clips as we noticed a great number of photographers visiting our site. We hope this will help more photographers and even couples to understand and get a better idea of how we work.

04/10/2010Marvin + Lynn (Bridal Portraits)

It was a warm day with great blue skies and the sunset was awesome. Lynn’s gown from The Wedding Present matched with Jacqueline Law’s classy makeup and hair styling definitely helped in creating these wonderful images. We managed to capture both Marvin and Lynn’s personality in our photographs. Both of them worked really hard and at a point when poor Lynn got bitten quite a bit by ants. She endured the pain and itch to complete the shoot in botanic gardens. Well done guys!!!

This was the part where Lynn got bitten by ants.

The light and weather was brilliant that day.

An image I really love, which Marvin and Lynn both chose to print it large on canvas.

A master piece by Jean. It was her own direction and concept and we really love how it turns out. The textures in the photograph are the vines that hang down from the tree.

This is probably the most dangerous shot I’ve ever done. They were standing on 3m high ledge, the wind was strong with the waves crashing on the other side of the wall. To make it more adventurous, the Police Coast Guard came closer to find out what was going on.

I really like the lights around the trees and how this place can look so romantic and whimsical at night.

09/07/2010David + Cindy (Bridal Portraits)

Blessed with great weather, this was an awesome session with David and Cindy. And in the hands of Jacqueline Law, the hair and makeup styling was gorgeous. It transformed Cindy, who has never put on makeup before into a rock star bride (she is a big fan of cantopop star Sammi Cheng).

We started the shoot at Crowne Plaza at T3 of Changi Airport; I love the green carpeting just outside the ballroom. For this bridal portrait, I wanted to do something out of what I usually do, I went a little darker and also exploring the use of multiple lightings.
