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.

Here’s a sweet little session against the Singapore skyline, something not often seen. Plainly because Singaporeans would rather choose a background which is less urban and more green, which gives an overseas feel. Growing up in Singapore, a urban concrete jungle, most of us would love to have that kind of photos. However, Rob and Ashley are different from the usual couples that I took, they came from the States and living in Singapore for a few months now. Rob is from Boston and Ashley a New Yorker. They met in the university in Boston and currently working in Singapore. It’s really amazing, that I have the absolute fortune of meeting wonderful people all the time in my line of work. Perhaps there is no need for me to mention, evidently from the frames, Rob and Ashley are incredibly good looking people with great big smiles that warm my heart and chased away the rainy clouds right on the spot! So, the couple requested to take some pictures at the Marina Bay, in front of Singapore’s iconic Marina Bay Sands (MBS) and the Merlion. It was a short but sweet shoot and the hour flew by so fast. I had such a fun time documenting their love for each other and capturing their unreserved kisses :D

Not forgetting, this shoot wouldn’t be such a breeze without Rebecca, who is such a great and lovely helper! I really need to credit her, without her, I would probably be worrying about my camera bag with expensive gears which I usually threw it around unattended. She helped to look after my things, carry the HEAVY bag around, assisted me and the couple, and she can take really nice pictures too. Remember to check out her website!

I hope you enjoy looking through this session as much as I enjoyed shooting it! :)
