HortPark is nestled within the verdant greens of Singapore’s Southern Ridges. This is a place away from the bustling city. It is here that lies the perfect venue for Charlies and Ying Ling’s beautiful and intimate solemnisation. Amidst this lush greenscape is the charming and rustic Vineyard, a French-Italian restaurant. It is where the couple hosted their lovely dinner reception for their distinguished guests. How wonderful!

HortPark isn’t just the ideal venue for solenmnisation. It features tranquil, green surroundings that will set the mood for love. Undoubtedly, it is simply great location for a couple photoshoot session right before the ceremony. In addition, merely a stone throw away is another highly rated outdoor location, the big open and hilly field in front of Canterbury Road. This spot has always been a very popular photoshoot location for wedding couples and families. It absolutely has the overseas vibes.

As the sun dipped closer to the horizon, setting behind the tall trees, it was an indication that the solenmnisation is going to start soon. Meanwhile, the couple’s families and the guests were all ready. Charles and Ying Ling exchanged their touching vows and rings on the patio overlooking the sunset. Its tangerine rays beautifully accented by a long reflecting pool. Following the Justice of Peace announced both of them as husband and wife, they kissed.

Let nature be your witness and embark on your journey of marital bliss amidst the gorgeous greenery and charming setting.

Congratulations!

Singapore, with its rich cultural tapestry, has become a melting pot for cross-national unions. These marriages — where one partner is a Singaporean and the other hails from a different country — add vibrancy and diversity to the local wedding scene.

Where love knows no boundaries, love knows no nationality. Whether it’s a Singaporean marrying a French partner, an Indian wedding with Singaporean flair, or any other combination, these unions celebrate diversity and unity. Couples often blend elements from both cultures, creating unique ceremonies that reflect their shared journey.

Featuring in this post is Jon and Liza, a Singaporean groom and an Ukrainian bride. Having their solemnization amidst the lush greenery of the Singapore Botanic Gardens, Jon and Liza took their oath to become husband and wife. Their solemnization weave together love stories that span continents. They remind us the love transcends borders.

How wonderful to have the couple donning in Ukrainian traditional costumes during the ceremony! A wedding in traditional attire is a celebration of cultural heritage and personal style. These costumes aren’t just fabrics. They carry stories, blessings, and generations of tradition. I love how Jon and Liza’s wedding day is just a beautiful fusion of love and culture!

remarriage wedding photography

Seeing Jennifer’s expression of ecstasy and exhilaration on this special day, I could feel the happiness that she was exuding. She was about to marry her beloved soulmate, Stephen. For that reason, her emotions can be felt heartily.

This isn’t their first marriage and each of them has their own children. Being a parent myself, I understand the commitment and sacrifice that we have to make for the sake of our children as they become our topmost priority. Let alone being a single parent. Understandably, they have to sacrifice a lot more, nurturing their children and making sure they grow up healthily.

When the children are older and more independent, Stephen and Jennifer met and started seeing each other. What bliss it is when they decided to tie the knot. And to spend their lives together in their autumn years.

The solemnisation was a small event. With just a handful of people, attended by Stephen and Jennifer’s families and a couple of good friends. Held inside The Knolls, the restaurant is located within the tranquil and luscious landscaped grounds of Capella Singapore. The atmosphere was cozy and relaxing. This union of hearts was absolutely divine!

Solemnisation Wedding Photography Solemnization

Throwback to a cherished solemnisation that I took two years back, an intimate event attended by the couple’s families and bosom friends. What struck me most is how warm and how fun this affair was. It was a night to remember definitely for a lifetime.

The wedding season has started since last month, and despite the coronavirus situation, I was lucky and deeply grateful to be a part of the many weddings and solemnisations. After photography will be the arduous editing, often working into late nights when my kids had fallen asleep. To post these heart-warming images is a much-needed break for me to get away from the monotonous task of editing.

Nestled along the lush tranquillity of Scotts Road, IndoCafe is a Peranakan fine dining restaurant and is indeed a very interesting place to hold a solemnisation. With an eye-catching architecture, it’s like a walk into Singapore’s colonial past, a walk down memory lane.

With the traditional interior and floor tiles, June wore a befitting short lace Jade-green cheongsam dress. And Kelvin in a mandarin collar long sleeve white shirt. Kelvin and June’s dressing complement each other and they themselves are a great match. In fact, they are splendidly perfect! Their union in marriage brought so much joy and laughter to all those who were gathered there and that I felt so blessed to be their wedding photographer, to be able to capture all those precious moments for them to keep.

Intimate weddings are brilliant and beautiful. The onset of the coronavirus pandemic has given rise to a certain trend in weddings that no one had predicted. Intimate weddings are the new normal, and the new normal is here to stay.

“So how does it feel like having a small wedding?” I asked the newlywed, Eric and Junie. The couple felt more relaxed because they were surrounded by close-knit friends and family, and they felt more at home with their guests.

Keeping a beautiful wedding simple. Despite all the measures implemented in Phrase 2 wedding, Eric and Junie had gone ahead with a 20 pax wedding in July. That day was also my first wedding after a super long break. I couldn’t express how happy I was holding my camera shooting again. I’m really thankful that we actually went ahead with this small celebration and photographing this meaningful wedding.

Personally, I think that intimate weddings can have just as much of an impact as a large celebration. The love and warmth can be easily felt for sure. I can get used to this new normal.

Shooting a post-wedding right after the small merrymaking is getting increasingly popular too. A wedding used to be involved in a full day of celebration. Hence, with time on our hands and the couple still drowning in their happiness and excitement, it is the perfect game plan to do a post-wedding shoot. Eric and Junie, and myself did just that. So, watch out this space for their post-wedding images.

Update: View Eric & Junie’s post-wedding images here.

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!

It’s a blessing when couples engaged my service without meeting me prior to their wedding day. And just last year, I’m lucky to have a handful of such lovely couples who loved my works and placed their trusts in me to capture their special day.

Yucheng and Vivian is one of them. We never met, so naturally I felt a bit jittery when I headed down to Lewin Terrace to shoot their small intimate ceremony. I’m quick to warm up though, eleven-coming-twelve years in this wedding industry and meeting many couples for the first time had trained me well. Anyway, if there’s any awkwardness, I will just hide my face behind the camera and move around. Haha!

Certainly counting my blessings every single day :)
