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 positions were pretty…

Parents

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

On the lookout

We are always on the lookout for something interesting and something out of the ordinary. Sometimes, we plan a shot. By planning a shot, we don’t mean, telling…

Unscripted eye contact

Moments like that makes ordinary stands out.

Hotel Fort Canning

Evening photos are fun. While it usually takes more time to set up and technically more challenging, it is often also the most satisfying (partly because we can…

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 judging from the…

Red, white and blue. I like.

Playlist

That’s my kind of playlist! 90s bubblegum pop! You know the band is awesome when they accommodate this playlist and nobody is judging when you dance to it.

Beautiful light and flare

Something from Joel and Elsie’s wedding at The Raffles Hotel. Like many weddings I have been working on recent years, they are small, typically less than 200 guests….

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 was in a…

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. If you think…

Forever alone

When it comes to environmental wedding portraits with simple lines, you can’t go very wrong with a lone tree. But there are times when I look at the…

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 and the wedding…

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 open mic concept….

Every little thing

Yes main events are important, but to me, what’s more interesting are these little moments. If you remember Every Little Thing (ELT), you are probably as old as…

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. Maximum happiness is…

A birdie. Ok, an eagle.

To be honest, I didn’t think through it when I took this. I just thought it was funny and anything with symmetry usually works well with me. It…

The early birds

2 in front of the camera and a few more behind it, including me. Going to a shoot later than 730 is almost non negotiable for me. My…

Be like still water

The kind of look (just like still water) whenever clients ask me the timing we meet for Pre Wedding shoot, until they realize they have to wake up…

Walk on water

For lack of a better title. 10 panadols and plenty of sleep later, I’m feeling much better. Now, the cough has to go. Overall, happy with the progress…

Be like water

Drink more water. At least that’s for me. Down with some kind of viral flu. Let’s hope water will do something good.

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.

Street fighters

Nothing says I love R-you like nailart:)

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 things keep me…

The busy months

Been really busy over the past few weeks and even more so in the weeks to come. Almost every thing demands attention and it’s really putting my prioritization…

A little love on Friday

The kind of image for rainy evening. Hopefully the weather will play nice tomorrow.

It’s show time!

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

When all you have is one chair

*in gardening mode* I’m just thinking… how nice if a staghorn fern is in place of the bird’s nest fern at the back.

A sleepy Monday post

Browsing through some of the images I did a couple of weeks back puts a smile on my face.

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 of masking emotions…

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.

Can somebody have a durian themed wedding?

After a long shoot on Saturday, I rewarded myself with a nice drive up to Tangkak, Malaysia for some nice durians (although we were told the season there…

Getting ready

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

Untitled

Have a great weekend people!

Please mind the gap

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

Framed

Found a spot of reflection and I can’t help but frame them up.

Reason to smile

I love to see old people smile (no, not the ones in the picture:D). During a wedding, the grandmother of the bride came up to me and asked…

A fleeting moment

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

It’s midweek!

And I’m halfway through the set. It’s been a really enjoyable week thus far. Wish I had more time, but I won’t complain. Here’s one for midweek:)

Last burst

Photographing an assignment is a little like running a marathon. Not that I know how it feels, so maybe a 2.4km run. The last shot before the light…

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 SIM card and…
