I'm a Singapore wedding photographer. I realized that memories can be stirred by our senses such that when we see photos, smell a familiar scent or hear a familiar tune, it can trigger a floodgate of memories and stir our emotions till we are overwhelmed. In capturing these precious moments, I hope to make memories tangible.. Let's get in touch..

William and Michelle met in NIE and I heard that it was because of a dengue fever that William had which brought them together.. They were such a kind couple and even arranged for their friend to capture the table shots so that I could rest and enjoy the lunch banquet together with the rest.. I'm really glad to be a part of this wedding.. I felt like a guest or rather a friend in the wedding..

Michelle has 7 bridesmaids.. I called them the 7 evil sisters.. here are 3 of them, all ready to sabotage the groom and groomsmen.. haha..





















i noticed Michelle's mum crying in the background..













Michelle's students were really thoughtful to give her a surprise visit even though they were in the midst of their exams.. and they presented such an excellent song item that i thought it was a waste that they didn't do it on the stage.. I guess she has really made a great impact in their lives, I've never seen any teacher so close to their students..













Here's Michelle's best friend, Carmen.. She was such a great wedding coordinator that I thought she should become a full-time wedding planner.. haha..

Last night I went out with one of my best friend, Priscilla.. I know it sounds ironical - best friend can only have one since it is the BEST already but I do have a few best friends, they are just BEST in different ways.. Recent years, we started to hang out twice in a year - once on her birthday, another on mine.. the rest, i really don't remember at all..

Anyway, she went around shopping for a friend's wedding gift. Her friend is getting married tomorrow.. This afternoon, we realized that we are actually attending the same wedding which I'll be shooting tomorrow. I'm just amazed at how tiny and puny our homeland is.. I'm extremely excited about the wedding..

Christmas is coming soon but as I grow older, excitement over Christmas fades away gradually, just like how birthdays do.. Significance of it fades away too.. The past 2 years, I spent my Christmas somewhere out of our puny island, in Vietnam and India where lights are not as easily available as here.. I've never notice that so much electricity is used for this special occasion...

Here's an evidence of it..

I love my panda.. When I was shooting him, I asked him to freeze and this was his expression.. He has a huge belly so i have to shoot from top down, if not, his tummy will cover his flat face..

He is very supportive of my job.. When I spend hours on photoshop, he supports my wrist..

After coming back from Yervant's course today, I was super impressed with his post-production work.. Most of his photos are like art pieces but behind the post-production is a man who has a mind filled with concepts and glamorous ideas that produce glamorous pictures.. He was so nice to share with us some technics which he uses in his digital imaging.. Got so excited about it that I came back home to try them out on this image..

Here's a photo I took when I tagged along with Kelvin for an outdoor shoot.. He posed the couple and I was just standing right behind him so couldn't resist the temptation to shoot.. keke.. just a disclaimer - the idea and copyright belongs to him..

Yesterday I shot this lovely couple's engagement.. The ROM was held at Joshua's place.. This young couple is so in love with each other and filled with spontaneity.. I had a lot of fun too.. Here's a teaser and a reminder for me to post the rest of the photos.. keke..

Tomorrow and Tuesday I'll be going for Yervant's course!!! He is a renown wedding photographer from Melbourne and I'm so looking forward to learn from him! Guess I'll be so captivated and won't have time to update my blog for the next 2 days..

After seeing others' blogs with huge images, I feel so tempted to enlarge the size of the photos I display so I spent an hour editing my blog.. Here's the first larger image!
