A new year and a new post to kickoff a fresh beginning. Happy 2023 everyone!

I remember my first post of 2022 that I will write more often and post more pictures in my blog. And I achieved that! Now, here is 2023 and I believed I can do it even better this year. Haven’t felt this motivated for such a long time. Especially with the support that came from my faithful clients and vendors that allowed me to create more contents and beautiful images. Thank you, guys, for the unwavering trust in me.

Yvonne and ZT were referred by Vienna of Giorgia Couture. Vienna and I have worked together on many occassions. She has been really nice to introduce her couples over numerous times. I will probably share our styled shoot collaboration that we did last year in the next post. Watch out for that!

This series of images was actually taken last year in February. Usually, I will not share the images until the couple’s wedding is over. Generally, the pictures are kept out of public eyes so that there is still an element of surprise for the couple’s guests on their wedding day. This requires a lot of patience especially a prewedding shoot often takes place three to six months before the wedding. Then again, sometimes the excitement to share often get hold of me and I will release one or two images as teasers or previews.

National Gallery is definitely a popular location for prewedding photoshoots. Over here, one can escape from the heat on a sunny day or take shelter from the rain on a wet day. Labrador Park is, however, a place that I haven’t step into for a long long time. This park holds a sentimental value to Yvonne and ZT since this is their dating ground. So many fond memories were made. It is no wonder why they picked this location as one of their photoshoot venues.

Okay, it’s time to scroll down for the pictures. Cheers!

Casual Couple Photography

The long-awaited and first blog post of the new year 2022.

It has been a lengthy hiatus from some time before the last quarter of 2021. With the constant changes to the SMM guidelines, many weddings and photoshoots were planned pretty last minute. Thus, when the rules and restrictions were being relaxed towards the end of the year, we have seen more couples getting married and more families doing photoshoots.

Which leads to my very busy year-end schedule and the very heavy post-editing workload. But hey, no one is complaining.

During this period, this lovely couple, Ash and Kevin, came to me for casual couple photography. Interestingly, both of them aren’t from locally. Kevin is from Hong Kong whilst Ash is from Malaysia, and fate brought them together while working here in this little red dot. Due to the pandemic, none of them has returned to their home country to visit their families. Missing home, they were eager to share a piece of good news with their families — Kevin’s recent proposal to Ash! So they decided to capture their love and have the photoshoot planned at a location that clearly tells of their romance in Singapore.

Before I end this post with their loving photos, I would like to thank Ash for being an avid reader and supporter of my blog posts. It warmly fills my heart with great joy and comfort when she revealed her liking to reading my posting. Probably she is not the only one, I hope not. Maybe there is more out there like her. For those who have been following my works, I will strive to write and post more often. This will be my new year resolution.

Celebrating Calvin + Hongyi

These two lovebirds dated when they were both studying in NUS Kent Ridge campus. Calvin studied in Biological Science and Hongyi in History. Many fond memories were built within the school campus during those university days and now this creative couple decided to be solemnized in Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum. This interesting venue plays an significant role as it strongly connects both of them to their beliefs and memories.

Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum is very new to me, I have never step foot in this place before. So I made the decision to visit it to get myself familiarize and scout for spots for the shoot. It is always best to understand how the light situation might be during those hours of solemnization and be well-prepared. I was $16 poorer after the visitation but I totally understand why Calvin and Hongyi chose the museum for their solemnization venue.

Calvin and Hongyi held their wedding banquet two weeks ago and I shall leave that in another blog post. Until next time!

Finding a kindred spirit is one of the most joyous experiences a person can have. And I can recognize Joshua and Huiyi as kindred spirits as soon as we met. No doubt I can see the special connection that they have from the time that I spent together with them. They shared the same beliefs, attitudes and feelings, and all of these built that special bond which joined them.

Predictably, the shoot started off with a light drizzle. As excited as I was, the slanted drizzle trickling down did not dampened the couple’s spirits at all. As unpredictable as the weather, the light shower ceased. I was hoping for a rainbow, but it never came. Nevertheless, the air was fresher and cooler than before. I really enjoyed that.

As I mentioned earlier, Joshua and Huiyi are a pair of kindred spirits. I can easily tell when they looked at each other in the eyes. The passion within was strong even though they showed shyness whenever I asked for intimate moments. Giggles and laughter were often heard. I knew the shoot is going to be a breeze.

Joshua and Huiyi make such a lovely couple. I had a great time doing their pre-wedding shoot. I adore them! And I will be sharing their amazing wedding session photos soon. Keep watching :)

A tick off my wish list! Dakota Crescent is one of the places that I wish to shoot at, simply because that place has its old charm and is a world away from the hustle and bustle of urban Singapore. The now abandoned units with little occupancy left and quiet surroundings almost makes me feel like time travelling back to the past, back to my school days when a few of my classmates stayed there and we would hang around playing. Visiting Dakota Crescent again is down the memory lane.

And all thanks to the lovely couple Amanda and Marcus. With a vintage theme in mind, I proposed to them Dakota Crescent will be the perfect place for their shoot. Peaceful neighbourhood with a dove-shaped playground nestled in the heart of the estate, the couple concurred with the idea which I felt was fabulous! Doves perfectly symbolizes love and romance, and shooting a pre-wedding photography at the dove-shaped playground can’t be anymore befitting. We were so looking forward to the shoot.

Squeals of joy erupted from the old dove playground as we begun our shoot, Amanda and Marcus couldn’t contain their laughters. We were behaving like children again, throwing any stress that we might have to the back of our minds, we let loosed and enjoyed ourselves. I have to say, this shoot is probably one of the easiest that I’ve shot so far.

Time really flies, as the sky remained warmly lit by the sun trying to prise the last of its amber rays over the rooftops, we gathered ourselves to the playground again to end our fleeting but fantastic shoot. Dakota Crescent is artlessly a marvelous place to do a pre-wedding shoot, however, the scene is bittersweet as it is slated for redevelopment by the end of 2016.
