I think Jing and Hui are one of the most happy couple that I have photographed, as smiles and laughter seem to revolve around them wherever they go! Not that I am complaining of course. I love smiles, especially when they are sincere, uninhibited and comes forth from a heart brimming with joy, and there were an abundance of these on their wedding day.

Jing is a diehard Arsenal fan, and though Hui is not much of a soccer addict, she tries to watch all the matches with him, including those that was played in the wee hours as a form of support. Isn’t that sweet!

So it was no surprise that the brothers and sisters all tuned up in a soccer themed attire complete with referee whistles and a soccer ball on their wedding day, and it was just so crazily fun!

Michael and Juli’s wedding was special to me in more ways than one. I photographed Juli’s brother – Gerald’s wedding a few years ago and both Gerald and his wife, Elaine are also very good friends of my wife and I. On the other hand, Michael’s parents were my wedding coordinators!

So it was with a sense of joy and anticipation that I photographed their wedding last week.

Michael and Juli met way back  in church, and slowly got to know each other better while serving in their own area of ministry.  They are also one of the nicest couples that I know. Michael is ever steady and cool headed, and from my interactions with him both in church and during our photography sessions, I find him to be a thoughtful person as well. Juli has a quiet demeanor, but is always ready to greet you with a smile. Through the wedding, I can sense their love for each other by the little glances and gestures that they make. I am happy to be able to share their joy, along with their families and friends.

Here are some of the many moments that I saw through my lenses on that day.

One of the most easy going couples that I know of, Boon Pin and Sarah got married on a bright early morning. They were not flustered by anything, but just enjoyed the day with smiles and a coolness that is hard to miss. I think this is how all wedding couples should be – enjoy the day and stop worrying if the caterer is on time, if the traffic is bad along the way, etc. It is hard to do so (I know because it was hard for me to stop running mental checklists in my head during my own wedding), but I think it is something worth working for. After all, we only get married once, so we really should cherish and remember the day as one that we enjoyed ourselves with our family and friends.

Anyway, I must also talk a little bit about Sarah’s cats, Rex and Gina. Rex is the boss of the house. He has that “don’t mess with me” look and likes to do everything his way. I tried to get his attention to take some pictures, but I think he just doesn’t care very much about me haha. Gina on the other hand, is more relaxed and laid back. I think I like Gina more

I will be working on their album very soon, but before that, I would just like to share some of my favourite images from their wedding.

Simple words, yet promising a lifetime of commitment towards each other, Quentin and Linda got married in front of their loved ones at the amazing Amara Sanctuary Resort, Sentosa.

Their romance spanned many years, and it was so interesting to hear how they met, two people with such contrasting personalities, yet eventually drawn together and now becoming together.

As their photographer, I get to find out all these little nibbles of information and adding that with our short time together, I get to see a more complete Quentin and Linda. This is one thing I love being a wedding photographer. We begin as strangers but after spending time talking with them, photographing them and talking to their close friends, I end up feeling as though I have known the couple! And it gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling when that happens!

For me, I shall always remember the speech by Quentin’s father. Not that I understand totally everything what uncle meant (in fact, I was struggling initially, trying to fathom what was being conveyed with my limited intellect) but I recall a little bit of stoic humour, mixed with interesting but heartfelt anecdotes, and combined with loving blessings to the couple. I shall also remember Quentin’s best man, Shaun’s cool demeanor on the stage and his very interesting stories about Quentin. Heh.

I know you must be dying to see the pictures, so here they are!

I guess I will always remember Amirul & Aida, not only because of the fun that I had shooting their pre wedding sessions, nor was it totally due to their affable personalities, but I suspect it to be the very nice malay and indian food that they introduced me on several occasions. Oh, did I mention already that the buffet spread was heavenly during their wedding as well? Yummy…

It was my first time shooting a malay wedding, and though in some ways it is similar to a chinese wedding, it presents its own unique flavour that is very new and refreshing to me. First of all, the colors! Vibrant colors abound in decorations around the wedding grounds, and the couple (especially Aida) looked really gorgeous in their traditional malay wedding attire. Then it was the atmosphere. Drums and music filled the air when the groom made his entrance, in the midst of all the celebratory cheers and excited voices.? Finally it was the people. I saw so many smiling faces and warm hugs around the couple, as families, relatives and friends all gathered to congratulate and bask in the occasion. It was truly a “happening” experience and I am just so glad to be a part of it!

There are so many images that I love, but just to share a few of my favourites.
