Back from Bali, and boy was it a beautiful place! I wished I could have stayed longer as the people, sunset, food, even the weather was so nice! Organised by the Wedding Photographers Association of Singapore, this trip was meant to help us learn the ropes of doing an overseas pre wedding shoot. We travelled with 2 real wedding couples and had a blast shooting them in some of Bali’s famous hotspots. I really appreciate the time and effort taken by the instructors who shared generously with us their experiences and tips of shooting an overseas pre wedding.
To all of you who are thinking of going to Bali, you’ll be glad to know that I’ll be offering Bali Pre wedding photography next year. Stay tuned for the dates!
Meanwhile, here are some images to whet your appetite!
Tanah Lot Beach. Love the green moss shimmering against the setting sun
The mist over Lake Bratan was just amazing...
Bali has always been a place where I wanted to go, as I have heard so much about it. I think it has some gorgeous spots perfect for bridals. Well, I’ll be in Bali over the next few days to check out the place. Stay tuned coz I will be offering some very nice Bali packages soon!
About 2 years back, I photographed a really cute little boy who just turned one. His name is Nathan and recently, Nathan’s mum contacted me and told me her second son is turning one too! Wow, how time flies!
Nathan has really grown up to be a big boy now. But one thing still remained the same – he is as active as ever!
Before the mini celebration at their home with their close friends and family, we had some fun shooting the boys at the park nearby. Many a times their actions were so quick and unpredictable that it was really challenging trying to capture them. Nevertheless, I think it was a good experience for me as I imagined one day I will be running about taking photos of my own kids. Haha.
I think Nathan and Gabriel have really cool parents that is willing to do much to celebrate their birthdays!
Over the national day holidays, I’ve had the pleasure of shooting Xian and Kathy’s wedding. One thing that struck me was how closely knitted Xian’s family are. While each of them all had a role to play during the day, they did so quietly, gracefully and with a joy that is obviously borne out of the love they have for Xian and Kathy. In return, Xian gave a heartwarming and moving speech that I’m sure moved many that day.
As a wedding photographer, I am often fortunate to be able to witness sincerity and love in a wedding. This is what drives me to capture in the most beautiful way, memories that the couple can remember for a long time. Following are just some of my favourite images for the day.
W is a friend of mine that I’ve known for some time. If you have just met W, you may think of him as being quiet, an introvert, maybe a little shy even. However, once you get to know him, you will realise that your initial impressions of him could not be more wrong. W is a man with many talents. But most of it is hidden beneath that unassuming apperance of his. One of his forte is public speaking. And once he speaks, his intelligent humour will tickle you, his knowledge of literature and the arts will amaze you, and you will wonder how can you be so wrong about him!
Today, he married his sweetheart from afar, and as his friend, I am truly happy and privileged to be able to capture the moments at they occured. The day was made more special to me because the wedding was held in the church that I used to worship in, and I was really looking foward to seeing it and all my old friends again.
And if you are wondering why “cloud”, well, thats a secret!
