From Bali with love

August 15th, 2010 (1stJournal, Bridal Wedding, Portrait)

Bali, a place with rich and unique culture. A great background for Photography with it’s beaches and cliff scenery.
Great place to lay back and forget about your worries. Sadly we were on a tight schedule and before i actually get to do anything i was on the way back to Singapore.

Let’s kick off with a beach scene comes with a free horse too.

Some Rocky action… Lots of rocks and nature to play with.

The local restarunts are friendly and more than willing to let you take pictures inside.

Looking forward to my next location. Hongkong at the end of year.

Wedding of Ryan & WenYen

March 31st, 2010 (Wedding Day)

Finally I have a bit more time to uploaded this. I have been super busy with assignments, sorry about that.

Ryan is my friend’s bro-in-law where I happened to capture the few wedding of his sisters, it’s like seeing a child grow up that kind of happiness for him, as their “Family” wedding photographer, it’s my honour indeed. Right now there is only 1 sister left for me to capture her wedding, I am completed! hehe

Wedding of Sheila And Robert…

February 11th, 2010 (Wedding Day)

This Web has started to grow cob webs, i have to agree. We’ve been busy during the end of year season and clearing up what was left over during the start of the year. Now it’s time to update on some of our not so recent works.

Sheila And Robert had a small ceremony over in australia in the back yard of their home, now they are in singapore to do something similar but in “The Straits Club” of Fullerton Hotel, a small Lunch for friends and family who reside in singapore.

Wedding of Ken And Grace

November 12th, 2009 (Wedding Day)

Travelling out all the way to Singapore Flyer for a photo with Spongebob Squarepants under the hot blistering 33degree humid singapore weather was the highlight of the day.  That is what Ken And Grace did, for Ken’s all time favorite cartoon characters Spongebob Squarepants. That’s why i call LOVE!

Actual Day Wedding photography
Our very own Spongebob Squarepants Shot….. i guess this is really unique to have in a wedding album….

Since we were at the flyer, might as well take some nice outdoor shots….

This shot really had a real Infernal Affairs feel to it.....

Tears falls for the touching speech by the bride and the groom.

Finally met up with them for their photobook , after trying to get a hold of them for weeks.It spurred to me post their  lovely photos.

ION Orchard Omega Boutique Interior Shoot

November 3rd, 2009 (Interiors Photography)

Did an interior shoot for the new ION orchard Omega boutique, it took longer than I expect to shoot these photos as there are some feng shui things I have to take into account of.

The front view of the Omega Boutique, took me a lot of times to edit away the reflections!!

Wedding of Anjian & Pandora

October 29th, 2009 (Wedding Day)

This is my 4th couple in my ring of friends to get married, i was happy that i manage to convince them to choose me to capture their moments,of course being their friend helped in the convincing =p. They had a small sit down lunch wedding in Marriott hotel. We did some live printing and had a fun time with our MC’s playing games with the guests.

A few images to show…

Little Alexane

August 11th, 2009 (Baby & Children)

Just fixed my MacBook Pro Problems….. If you’ve been in my facebook, you’ll see almost 50% of recent status updates are Macbook problem related!

With that done, i here present to you Little Alexane’s first photo shoot!
Being a little baby she was sleeping half of the time, we could only wait till she had enough of her beauty sleep and continue on after that. Isn’t it wonderful,  i haven’t had any children yet so that was the first time being so upclose to a child so young and spent so much time with her. Just finished their  photobook .  Hope they like it…

Baby photography

She’s simply adorable and it warms my heart to see her smile. Her blue eyes are beautiful!

children photography
Her toes look like little grapes…. They are pink and tiny!
When she was awake she was always trying to grab things, Mommy christelle says she’s learning how to use her fingers, that’s when i made the shot on the right.

I would like to thank christelle and romain for letting me photograph them on 2 of their very important occasion of their lives, their wedding in singapore and their first child.  It was a great experience and i’m sure there is more to come as little alexane grows up we can do some outdoor photos!

Paul & Millicent Wedding in Hong Kong

July 31st, 2009 (Wedding Day)

This was a wedding that I took in Hong Kong alone in a freezing weather condition.

I met Millicent a year ago before their wedding in Hong Kong and happened to have another wedding shoot during that time in Hong Kong as well. I didn’t meet Paul though as he was not in Hong Kong during that time.

Anyway, I just want to share a few photos with you, hope you enjoy, o if you want to see more, you can take a look at my gallery section, there are a lot more of their photos over there.
