Last week I went to Bintan with the missus and a group of friends for a quick weekend R&R, plus some photography on the sidelines, of course! Bintan island is just a 2 hour ferry ride from Singapore, but it was my first time there so I was pretty curious to check the place out. The island reminds me of Pulau Ubin, but it was a more interesting version with many more things to see. For instance, the many quaint fishing villages that seemed untouched by outside influences. The people were very friendly as well, and most of them would even smile at the camera – a far cry compared to some other places I’ve been where one would get an annoyed stare, or an outstretched hand demanding money for a picture taken.
It is a beautiful place (especially the sunrises and sunsets) and I would not mind going there again, and for couples who like to venture just a little further than our Singapore islands, I think it makes a great location for pre wedding photography as well!
I thought this picture would look more interesting if there were a human element. So I just composed the image and waited. True enough, someone walked on the plank and here it is!
These group of fishermen went fishing for ikan bilis well before dawn and here they are back with their catch of the day

I can’t help feeling happy looking back at Jerome and Jocelyn’s pictures. I’m not sure why… perhaps it is the warm and sporting families of the couple, or the sweet smile on Jocelyn’s face whenever she looks at Jerome, or the shy giggles of Jocelyn’s Ah Ma when she posed for the camera. Or maybe it was just the balloons.
Whatever the reason(s), it does not really matter because I truly enjoyed myself, and despite the mosquito bites that the couple endured, I hope they enjoyed themselves too, not only from the photoshoot, but more importantly, from the blissful fact that they are married! Here are some of my favourite selections. I hope they bring a smile to you as well
