Liam & Shihui.. - 11:16 PM
Kelvin just came back from Jesh De Rox's course in Perth and today he shared something that I thought was really interesting.. He said, "the opposite of love is not hatred but the opposite of love is actually fear.." I guess its our fears that hinder us to love another person, to express our love for our family and friends.. Fear of being vulnerable, fear of rejections, fear of being hurt, disappointed and uncertainties of how the other party would respond or if he/she would reciprocate the same love to you.. If only we could cast aside all these fears and express what's truly in our hearts..It's funny how a little hug makes everyone feel good.. In every place and time, it's always understood..
It kind of warmed my heart to see the couple receiving hugs from their loved ones, especially from Shihui's parents.. Unhindered by the Asian culture, Liam's Father-in-law gave him a hug and I could literally feels his joy of welcoming Liam into their family..
I love this photo of Shihui's mum giving her daughter a big and unreserved hug..
They held their engagement in a gallery at Dempsey Hill.. Isn't that cool!!!???
One of the reason that Liam and Shihui picked the gallery as the ROM location is because they wanted dear Sasha to come along..
We took a ride in the limousine to the cozy restaurant for dinner..
Sasha was in a daze while the rest are having an enjoyable meal..

Joshua & Grace... - 4:03 PM
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!

Reflections ... - 6:42 PM
I was so amazed when i found out how Kelvin and Angela met each other.. About 6 years ago, Angela was on her way to Australia for further studies. Coincidentally, she took the same flight with a friend who was going to further his studies in Australia as well. Sitting right beside him was Kelvin.. That was the first time Angela was introduced to Kelvin by her friend, they were complete strangers back then.. The few youngsters realized that they were entering the same university and decided to rent an apartment together.... 6 years later, Kelvin and Angela were joined in matrimony ...
Sometimes, it really amazes me to see that there are so many "coincidences" in life.. I believe they are all divine arrangements.. same day, same time, same flight, same country, same state, same university..
I had such a great time taking some casual shots for them right before their engagement as i could feel the "connection" between this couple..
I love reflections, they reflect who we are.. Likewise, personally, i feel that photos should reflect who the couple truly are and how they feel towards each other..
