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!

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!
