Groomsmen

I like how this was totally unscripted. I chanced upon the groom and his groomsmen having a discussion towards the end of the wedding. Their…

Parents

The kind of moments the bride wouldn’t see if it’s not captured. While from our view, we watched a story unfold.

Unscripted eye contact

Moments like that makes ordinary stands out.

A note from the bride’s niece

Such a sweet note. Chloe has to attend NDP rehearsals, thus missing out on her auntie’s wedding. This note more than made up for it…

Red, white and blue. I like.

3 years and 2 days

That was how long the it has been since the last post on this blog. There was some kind of inertia to post as I…

Memories

Memories are made of these. Places, friends, life experiences and most importantly, family. Here, the father of the bride pops in to check on her….

5 months.

This blog seems to be dormant for as long as Mount Agung in Bali. I guess it’s time to wake it up a little and…

Let’s welcome ourselves into the ballroom!

I can’t remember the exact words, but I think it’s probably something like that. That’s how the script reads when you are both the MC…

That call

There are days where you just have to make that call.

Let’s get married NAO!!!

Rules are for people who want to obey them.

When musicians get married

They can be like everyone else or do what musicians do. The groom used to play for a band as a bassist and decided an…

Geometry of drinking

I believe the more you tilt your head back, the happier you are. That’s what I feel when I have a beer bottle in hand….

Be like waterfall

Yup, tears and all. We have seen them from all ages and genders. Mostly emotion related. A few were triggered by cutting onions during games….

Eyes on me

Those little moments that happen during the preparation phase of the wedding. If you look hard enough, there will be someone looking at you.

Father and daughter moment

It’s all in the hands.

Empathy

Sometimes, we feel for them, but laugh behind the camera… It’s true (insert Trump’s voice).

No, we are not done yet. We are just getting started.

It’s been 2 new years since I last posted. Wedding season, traveling, Mika, friends, new toys and amazing weather (storms, amazing light, cool weather). These…

It’s show time!

Definitely not cartoon network. Probably inspired the kids to do their korean drama during dinner (a few posts back).

Sundays

What do we do on Sundays if we are not shooting? Hunting unicorns… or something similar:D

Art of hiding emotions

I am a chinese and my family are typical chinese. We know too well how to hide our emotions in front of others. The art…

Exit

No tears, no hugs, but one can still tell. Because typical chinese parents.

Love drama

When left alone, kids and their drama.

Mondays

Monday is the most awesome day of the week when you have deadlines to meet. That’s why I’m happiest on Mondays.

Getting ready

The difference between a bride getting ready compared to the groom.

Please mind the gap

A light moment between the bride and her father before walking down the aisle.

A fleeting moment

Grandfather of the bride bidding her farewell as the door of the lift closes.

Page boy

I really like how the toilet symbol sort of represents the bride and the groom.

Stop

I’m walking towards you.

You! Get some rest!

So we dropped everything, the dog, the excel sheets, the raw files, the jpgs and for the first time, decided not to buy an Indonesia…

Runaway flower girl

Runaway kids are ok. As long they don’t pack up their stuff and run away (back in the days, it’s called “zao chu” or running…

Runaway page boy

To be fair, he did complete the walk down the aisle before running back out. Maybe he just want to see the bride before the…

Changed out

Before I left the room for the groom (haha yes!), I looked back and caught this fleeting moment which I really like.

Let me show you magic

When it comes to make up and hair styling, it’s literally magic. If you ever had the opportunity to witness the entire process, you will…

Point of no return

While I go through hundreds and thousands and images on a daily basis, there bound to be a few that make me stop (or in…

可遇不可求

As with your life partner, good light is 可遇不可求.

UFOs in the ceiling

The pretty chandeliers of Ritz. I used to call the Madonna’s bra. Now that Independence Day 2 is going to be released soon, I think…

Lips

Just an observation:)

What’s the blog good for?

For me to remember moments like these. For the times when I want to look back at what I have done over the years.

A little highlight from above

Sometimes the light just shines where the action is.

Unscripted groomsmen portraits

Just before walking down the aisle. I like how the light gradually changes from light to shadows.

Talking behind your back

Or you are in our way. I love to see symmetry in everything.

One door, two meanings

After a series of challenges, the groom was finally one door away from seeing his bride. For the mother of the bride, that also means…

Watched

The stars of the event, constantly being watched, being photographed and sometimes being photographed being watched.

With blessings from the Justice of the Peace

With blessings from the Justice of the Peace, I got this shot. He married them and gave me his position for a clean shot. Give…

First dance

Recently someone told me that it is every girl’s dream to get married at the St Regis. Honestly, I have never heard of the St…

Mornings

Witnessing the landscape change from darkness to light is just one of the perks of shooting before sunrise at a location where you can actually…

The eye

…off a mirror in front of the mirror. Top it up with a very harmonious combination of colors in the foreground.

Lists

Ask any wedding photographer who has been shooting long enough, they will tell you about the dreadful ‘lists of items to take’ by a client….

untitled

The groom unveils the bride. I can’t help but notice the similarity in that movement with the picture in the background.
