Yup, that’s what the missus and I did over the recent lunar new year holidays. We decided to get away from all the festivities going on and visit our friend in the Kingdom of Bahrain.

Tucked away in the Persian Gulf, situated next to Saudi Arabia and surrounded by sea water lies the island of Bahrain. It’s size is quite similar to that of Singapore. While  Singapore is elongated east to west, the longest part of Bahrain island stretches from north to south. Like Singapore, it takes just about an hour to drive from one end to another end. Its population is however just a quarter that of Singapore.

When we were there, it was winter, and lucky for us, the ideal time to visit the country. During the day it was a cool 18 degrees but I was told in summer temperatures can soar up to more than 50 degrees celsius with humidity of more than 90%!

Being our first time in Bahrain, or rather first time to the middle east for that matter, it was a new experience for us to visit the region. We were also so well taken care of by our hosts that we were truly spoilt and were so reluctant to leave towards the end. We leave behind some beautiful memories and I would like to share with you some images from the country. We hope that the tourism industry would further develop in Bahrain as it really is a beautiful place to visit!

The images below shows the hotel that we stayed, the National Museum of Bahrain and some street scenes

We also visited some old houses that were restored in the city of Muharraq, the third largest city in Bahrain. You can also see the Tree of Life – one of Bahrain’s main attractions, captured during sunset. The Tree of Life is so called because it stands as the only tree in the desert far from other trees, and where it obtains water to survive has always remained a mystery. Finally, before we departed, we had a stopover at Arad Fort, one of Bahrain’s 4 defensive forts still preserved to this day.

Ever since we included a complimentary outdoor engagement session in our actual day photography packages, it has become a hit with many of our past couples, and we’ve also had many people asking if there is a separate package available for such a shoot.

Well, I am excited to announce that for a limited time, I will be offering a mini eSession package that is simply a short and sweet outdoor photography session, but designed for you to get back some really wonderful images that you can treasure with that special someone. If you are interested to find out more, do drop me a mail @ daniel@pixelpixie today!

They say time flies, and indeed it has flown by! It seemed so recent that I compiled the images that represented my work in 2010, and now it is time to present to you the images that I’ve chosen for 2011. The past 12 months has been meaningful and eventful, and made so in no small way by my wonderful friends and couples. I’ve not told this to every couple whom I’ve photographed, but I always feel a sense of gratitude and humility to be trusted to create images for arguably their most important day. Being a wedding photographer is not just about owning expensive gears and snapping away. It is being able to capture images that is significant, images that stirs the emotion even after many years that bring meaning to our craft, and this will always be my challenge and the driving force behind my work.

I call this compilation the “Best of 2011″ not so much because these images represent my best work in 2011. Rather, behind each of them is a wonderful couple who had given me their trust and had allowed me to express my creativity. To me, they are my best couples and it is my hope that the images represent the best of them.

To all my couples, thank you, and you guys rock!

This is a collection of images taken in Cambodia and Vietnam, mainly of children. Most of us, including myself, will probably never know what it is like to live like they do. But when they smile, it brings hope to all of us.

This Christmas, may we learn to cherish what we have, to share what we can give, and to love those that we have forgotten.

Here’s wishing you and your family a blessed Christmas!
