If you have seen our “Our Recent Trip to Ipoh” video, you would know that we were there to shoot a wedding. The couple, Ban Yew & Esther also did a pre-wedding with us back in March. You can read all about the fun we had shooting the pre-wedding in Singapore, here and here. Ban Yew and I attend the same school back in Ipoh. Although we were from different streams, we still kept in contact. It’s also great to see so many of my schoolmates present during the wedding. Seeing that everyone is all grown up, have a successful career and getting married and all, it really filled my heart with joy, partly because it’s a friend’s wedding and partly because there’s a certain something about the atmosphere during a wedding. Everybody is happy and everybody is feeling the love in the air. Ah, absolute bliss.

As promised, here is the first installment of Ban Yew and Esther’s wedding photos from the morning session. And if you haven’t noticed, Esther is quite a looker and I guess I’ll start with a few of my favourite photos of her from the morning session.

Esther getting ready in the morning. Tried a high key shot of her getting ready.

One of my favourite photos from the morning. It looks like a photo taken out from a children’s fairy tale story.

Chen Lei took this shot and I absolutely love it.

Decided to take the wedding shoe out for a walk. This was taken in the morning when the sun was just peeking through and I left the shoe on top of a MyVi roof.

The Heng Tais had their silver ties ready.

Ban Yew and the Heng Tais. It’s really a huge entourage I must add. Great to see so many brothers attending the morning session.

Another one of my favourites.

After the tea ceremony, we had the chance to take a few shots at an abandoned shop lot just opposite Ban Yew’s house.

Ok, I need to start editing the rest of the photos and hopefully get to post them up soon. But only if you ask, nicely
