They say photographing kids is one of the hardest things because they just can’t sit still and can never look at the camera when you want them to! So what is the solution? Well, rope in the adults!

I had a great time shooting my friend Swee Keng, and her sibling’s family last weekend. Before that, I am told that her nephew and nieces are very active and it would probably be quite challenging to shoot them. Well, what little trepidation I felt evaporated when I saw the adorable kids! We had a little picnic with yummy finger food and fruits and everyone was free to do about just anything.

I ventured around the area with each family to take some shots and it was so sweet to see the interaction between the kids and their parents, amongst the kids, the kids with their grandmother, the kids with SK… Call me idealistic, but looking at the little ones, I just feel that all the problems in this world can be erased by the smiles on their faces! It was really fun playing with the kids and especially when shooting them together. This is where I got some help from the parents who really did an admirable job haha.

“Love” is the title of this post because I see it in so many forms in this one single session. Do you?

It rained the day Eric and Julia got married. The sky was heavy laden with dark clouds throughout the day, and the rain did not dissipate long after their wedding celebrations were over.

However, the atmosphere was far from gloomy in a particular wedding suite located somewhere in Crowne Plaza Hotel,  Changi Airport. It was the wedding day of Eric and Julia, and their friends and family were all helping out with the preparations. The air was buzzing with excitement, and hardly anyone noticed the unceasing pitter patter of raindrops outside the suite windows. Having photographed Eric and Julia’s solemnisation just slightly over a year ago, I saw some familiar faces and it was good to have a chit chat here and there with their friends and family members.

Crowne Plaza hotel is amazing and a photographer’s haven because it is peppered literally with many interesting corners and spots for photography. In fact after the wedding lunch, we had a whale of a time taking various shots around the hotel!

I feel happy for Eric and Julia as they celebrated their love and union. And in some nice, warm and fuzzy way, I also felt privileged to have been their photographer who was able to witness some of the most significant moments of their lives.

Here are some selections of the day to share with you.
