weddings

Raymond and Angeline

No weddings are the same. But some are more ‘not the same’ than others. I always believe that the wedding should reflect who you are. This is perhaps one of the most dramatic weddings I have ever shot. Oh before you scroll down, I have to warn you that this might change your impression of gatecrashing forever.

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.

A rainy sunny wedding day

I know it’s a good day when it rains when I’m indoors and the sun shines when I’m outdoors. I know I said I will not go to Marina Barrage at mid noon. But the nice cloud cover did a little magic to help. Thanks!:D

Bernard and Germaine

Some people ask me if I love to shoot overseas. They often said, it’s like a holiday isn’t it? Not really. Because ever since I left my desk job (although I still spend a fair bit of time on my desk), I regard a holiday as something 1 week and beyond. When I travel, I like to take my time to settle down, get into the pace of the place and feel the vibes. This is what I love most about traveling. I am fine with traveling to work on short trips, but to treat it like a holiday, I would need a much longer one. It’s been a while since I shot overseas, so come next year, I hope to be shooting somewhere foreign. I know I should.

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.

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

Laces in symmetry

And the shadows. The longer I look at this, the more I love it. Symmetry at all the right places.

The closer you look, the less you see.

Guess a movie.

The less you see, the more you think.

The light was great, but the weather was warm. Nevermind the tissue paper, I think this shot reflects the reality and I like it:)

Catching up

It’s been awhile since my last post. I’ve finally settled into my new place. Following the 80-20 rule, I have settled 80 percent of my stuff and had them arranged nicely in cabinets. The rest of the 20 percent are still lying around somewhere. And depends who’s visiting, they will be chucked in a place where visitors can’t see. That’s something I learned from shooting weddings:D You know you do that. But I promise myself I will get them sorted out by mid week.

Here’s one from today’s wedding.
