Greg and Cheryl

We’ll take a break from northern lights and go back to weddings. A very simple and enjoyable wedding of Greg and Cheryl. A fuss free morning ceremony at the St Teresa’s church, followed by a cosy dinner reception at the Capella Hotel with lots of laughter sums up the day.

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?”

There are times during a wedding that you are able to spot some unusual stuff going on because things just don’t quite go according to plan. Nothing major, so it put a smile on my face whenever I see them (depends how you interpret it).

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

Chern Yang and Esther

2009, 2010 and 2011 was like the big blog drought. 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?;)

Sheng and Stefaine

I just post to say “My Backlogs are Cleared!:D”

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:)

Zul and Erlyani

Selamat Hari Raya!:D

Elbert and Marianne

After 9 long years, I’m finally counting down to just 1 more reservist. Not in a wordy mood today, so I’ll post some images. Tomorrow is team building day… they call it “cohesion” and we are going prawning (they should bring us Go Karting instead!).

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!

Kheng Tiong and Melissa

I promised to put up a wedding post before the end of yesterday. Sorry I was a little late after cleaning up all that drool when checking out the Sony Vaio Z2 (2012). It’s about time I replace my 4 year old laptop. This one seems to fit well if I want to edit on the go. Yes it cost a bomb, but if it’s going to last me for 3-4 years, I figured it’ll be well worth it. Any idea which bank is easier to rob?:D

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.

Stephen and Theng Theng

Something done recently. I love little things that don’t go according to plans and when you see people laughing it off… that’s priceless. The lead up to a wedding is always stressful. I always say it’s like a wind up toy, you wind it hard when before the wedding and just let it go during the wedding. If you hold you pee long enough, you’ll know what I mean. As usual, I’ll let the pictures do the talking (with some commentary on the side):D

You can view the rest of the images in the slideshow here <– click this!

Brother of the bride forgot to bring the oranges when opening the car’s door for the couple. They were happy, he was like… (see image).

This is when someone brought out the oranges.

Ah yes… now he wants a 2nd red packet:D

Little girl guarding the door to make sure no one comes into the changing room. I had to convince her I’m allowed access… anywhere.

Hello Anna!:D I like this better than if you were not there. At least they have a nice picture of you now. Great planning btw!:D

When the champagne pops early…

The reason why you should invite kids to weddings. They are unpredictable and they are funny.

One of the most happening dads I’ve met.

Reminds me of Elvis’s song “Little sister”.

“Little sister, don’t you kiss me once or twice
Then say it’s very nice
And then you run”
