Solemnization ceremony / 10 May 2009

Ten years ago when Hoining and I were classmates, we bonded over teenage conversations of love and finding the perfect person. A decade later, I found tears welling up in my eyes while photographing her exchanging vows with her first boyfriend. How they’ve managed to keep it going for 10 years in such times of change, I don’t know. But I suppose it is a reminder that, despite changing social notions on relationships, the possibility of a first true love still exists!

 

Solemnization ceremony / 8 May 2009

Even though it was a quick affair, the short time I spent with this young couple at the Fort Canning Park was enough to make me realize how deeply in love the two of them were with each other. They made the shoot incredibly fun and engaging, which created really intimate moments for the album. Cheers to this beautiful and very happy pair!

 

Wedding Day / 14 March 2009

It never feels like work when you’re spending the day with bunch of good friends, all gathered for a common purpose. Peimin and Weipeng’s wedding day started off with the tea ceremony at the bride’s home, zooming across the island to the groom’s, chilling in a hotel suite and enjoying their wedding ceremony at CHIJMES.

 

Pre-wedding shoot / 10 November 2008

Peimin and Weipeng are my friends and I wanted to do a little something special for them. As this was my first pre-wedding shoot, I decided to be ambitious and took them all over the island where we managed to clock eight locations in 11 hours and still have loads of fun despite a huge downpour! Whether we were braving the sun at Hort Park or goofing around at Old School, they were clearly in their own little world and that’s all that really matters.

 

The charming couple’s wedding dinner took place at The Fullerton Waterboat House against the stunning backdrop of Marina Bay and the financial district. It was an intimate, no-frills affair where the crowd danced the night away. I enjoyed photographing the lovely Sam, Sara and their handsome son, Harrison because they were all so natural with the camera. The last I heard, another little baby’s on the way to this beautiful family!

 

I was very privileged to have photographed Daphne and Nathan’s special day. Although it was my first time shooting a wedding, there was nothing foreign about it because I was in the company of her lovely sisters and bridesmaids, Dawn and Diane. The day’s highlight, dinner at Flutes at the Fort, was a touching occasion which left me in tears at some points. No doubt, this made me decide on doing more wedding photography work.
