The first signs that this is going to be a very different wedding.

And the boys came in a bus.

The kopi kias.

The Ru Huas.

The reception.

And they did their ‘victory rounds’ around the neighbourhood.

I was supposed to hold the ladies up while the boys secretly prepared to return the favour with gatecrash part 2. So that’s what we did.

Lester, the only bridesman greeting Raymond’s mum.

The good thing about Nikoi island is, it’s not that far from Singapore. It’s like an extension of Sentosa really. My second time here and it’s still as awesome as ever. One of the things I love about beach weddings like this is nobody wears a suit and I am allowed to be in my berms. Smart casual? no, more like comfort casual.

The emerald green waters.

Light and Textures

Make a guess what he was writing? I laughed so hard on this one.

Paper flowers. Mega love.

Paper flowers + plastic bricks. Super love.

And for some reason, I kept thinking about 2007. This song just came to my mind and it has been repeating since this morning. I used to have this as my ringtone and everytime my phone rings during client meetings, they’ll give me that amused look. Wedding pictures and Teriyaki Boyz… it’s hardly a match. Music, no matter how bad, is still a matter of personal preference. Stay true to yourself.

Here are some images from Kay Yong and Yuet Chia’s wedding. In my little notebook on clients after first meeting, I noted “the guy just keeps smiling”. First impressions last:D Alright, scroll down for the slideshow. Those featured here are the ones I personally like alot.

Using ‘milk powder’ strength.

The bridesmaids led the groom to the wrong room where the bride’s nephews are waiting. See, that’s one more door to collect ang pows (bridesmaids-to-be, please take note).

The old school trade expo games. Now I know why I never win back then.

And here, he has to guess the bride’s gown which he had never seen before.

Kids on sugar.

Adults on sweet tea.

Seriously? lol. Love the expressions.

Between tall people.

See, it’s natural, kids knows where to put their hands when they kiss someone. Then when we grow up… we lost it. It’s ok, we can re-discover:)

oh my… I love this one.

I like hands and legs. Once in awhile, I like to see them off the ground.

The wedding favours. I got one too for my supper. Cupcakes are great for supper.

up/down: I didn’t know they link up so well until now. That’s Weixiang and his best man waiting for the bride.

The Boutonnières are made by the Cheryl herself. Every groomsman got a different one.

The arrival.

Love those windows at St Teresa’s.

The super duper awesome flower girl getting a little help to be seen.

The kind of things I like to see after a kiss:)

An alternative view of the ceremony.

As he said, every wedding needs someone like this.

That guessing game. Never fail to get the crowd laughing.

If I recall correctly, she said something like “Is he thanking me?”

The first shot of the day. What an awesome way to start the day.

I was taking pictures of the gown behind the door when the bridesmaids opened the door. Oh well… I just captured the “behind the scenes” shot and ended up liking how it turned out more than the original shot I wanted.

Usually we get the hands with the rings. Like I said, usually. We don’t have to be usual:)

Sit! Ok, honestly, I just noticed the finger.

Getting combed, getting spread and that priceless expression.

Sometimes I just like it when things do not go according to plan. We need some of these kids around on wedding days.

Photogenic dogs are hard to come by. This one definitely very cooperative. I didn’t coat my camera with dog food before the shoot.

He definitely can tell the camera and the video apart:)

A little moment between them.

One word “Siong”!

Fact: Better not pick up a bride anywhere near a fitness corner.

Oh, so the story goes… while the boys were completing their ‘tasks’, the ladies offered to look after their belongings, since they were out in the fitness corner. Their ‘belongings’ include ALL the red packets meant for bargaining. Nice.

With no more bargaining chips, you just have to do what the girls want.

That’s 101 for you.

I wasn’t sure what they were talking about. But from what I can see now, it’s hilarious. Probably one of my favorites:D

People running away once they realized they might be in the frame. Their reaction cracks me up. I’ve already gotten my shot, was just waiting for the video guy to finish his.

I like this one where they open up the door to peep before their grand entrance to the ballroom.

Some heartfelt speeches during the dinner.

And the groom decides to sing. I haven’t heard Jacky Cheung’s songs for ages and that’s something really nostalgic.

The concert moment:D

I’m not back for revenge, but I will post some weddings that I really like over 2010 and 2011 in the coming weeks since I’m in the process of archiving them. Here’s one from Chern Yang and Esther. After the wedding, I realized that Chern Yang was in the same BMT company as me. That’s where I saw my BMT photo for the first time in more than a decade. I didn’t change much… thanks to the haircut:D

Love the rockstar lights.

A short prayer with the parents before veiling the bride.

The bride.

The boys.

The sister.

The demands.

The price.

The kiss.

The couple:D

A moment with the flower girls.

Simple and elegant deco by the folks at Flutes at Fort Canning.

I like people who arrange their stuff nicely and symmetrically.

And we got a fireworks treat too. So now you know when to plan your wedding at the Flutes:D

So he surprised her with some coordinated singing with friends, something like a mini flashmob. And yeah, he had quite abit of practice for that.

I thought it was really beautiful and touching to have them planned this.

Love the rawness of such kisses.

See why I love hands when you don’t pose them?;)

The slideshow can be found here.

I’m usually not a fan of colored walls, but this one has a white wall facing her. Well done.

Stefanie’s dad holding up a Polaroid of her.

Scrapbooking in… record time. I don’t even know how a scrapbook is supposed to look like.

I offer to buy my way through.

Definitely.

The guardians.

I really love these “can see cannot see” kind of kissing shots.

When they put this on stage, I could take one from the back and nobody knows:D Learned it from the movie 七小福 back in… my days. Obviously I didn’t, I just said, I could.

Hehehe. I can’t help but link it to the picture:D

I caught you:)

Here are some images from Elbert and Marianne’s wedding. Scroll all the way down a link to the slideshow:)

This one always make me smile.

Just love the placement of the feathers.

The eye contact!

Once in a while, we get some retro vintage themed weddings which are not too over the top. For me, it’s the first time I sat in these vintage Volkswagon vans and it’s alot more stable and spacious than I expected. Thanks to the volks folks at Volkswedding for maintaining these iconic mobiles.

Here are some images for the wedding. Scroll all the way down a link to the slideshow:)

I was told these were hand made my one of the bridesmaids. Very nicely done.

Alot going through their minds, definitely.

That piece of sunshine that came it at the right place, right time.

面包车. Really looks like 面包.

Groomsmen getting “changed”.

I love that eye contact.

She said “I have ang pow too!” to the bridesmaids, who got theirs during the gatecrashing games.

The couple leaving the bride’s house. I like how she was looking back and him looking at her. Somehow meaningful to me.

See, VW.

Not usually interested to take photos of kids crying, but this one is an exception:D

I was actually looking at the almost flat tyre… then everything else fell into place.

Love the symmetry and color combination.

That’s what tilt shifts are for.

Sometimes, blur can be good:)

I love confetti! And I’m damn good at firing one too. That’s why I was assigned to be the “confetti party” during the last wedding as a guest and it hit the spotlights:D

The quiet moments.

And the tender ones:)

Not an Apple fan, but thanks for ‘helping’ when I ran out of ideas. It was a perfect fit for the rings.
