Alright people! Here is the second installment from Gerry & Helena’s Pre-wedding photos in Melbourne. Enjoy!

We saw two couples getting intimate at the corner and I got Gerry and Helena to do the same.

Gerry and Helena, wishing you all the best in your upcoming wedding. Hope you love the photos!!!

I have a feeling that I would be really packed for the rest of the week, so I thought I would schedule this update. Jun Kit & Mei Sze decided to have a casual shoot the day after the pre-wedding and we headed down to Brighton among other places to do some casual portraiture that day. The weather, again, was very kind to us. It was reported to rain with overcast clouds but thank God, at every location that we went, the sky was bright and sunny.

I’ll let the rest of the photos do the talking for themselves. Enjoy!

Jun Kit & Mei Sze are such a wonderful couple. I’m glad to know them as first my clients, and then more importantly, as friends. Jun Kit and Mei Sze it’s great to have known the both of you and we would cherish the moments we’ve spent together. I can imagine if we spent a day together, we would be talking non-stop about things that we love. Thanks again for opening your homes to us. You guys were fantabulous. We’re sorry that we can’t be your photographers on your wedding day but I am sure you guys would rock the world!

Over the course of those few days, we got to know the both of them better. So much so, that I can’t help but find it difficult at times to visualise how I could take romantic, sexy, classy photos of the both of them. Each time I have to ask myself if that’s really them. Well, I’ve decided to post this photo last because after knowing them for a few days now, I think that this last photo really describes them the best.

Have a great wedding, guys!

So, continuation from the day session, we decided to head back to Docklands one last time because the weather was so wonderful that day. Look at the sunset!

Back at the Webb Bridge, but this time, a different perspective.

Jun Kit and Mei Sze were practicing their Rhumba dance.

I love this shot very much, just look at the moon!

The busy Flinder’s Street Station even when it’s late at night, the streets are always busy with pedestrians.

Crown Casino’s famous fire towers.

Some shots taken at the hotel.

***Updated 19 Aug***

I guess it must have been the flu that I have been having the past few days that I’m not really thinking straight. Haven’t been able to pen down what I wanted to say and many things have slipped my mind. I’ve gotta slap myself silly for missing this very important note. I think I’ve mentioned that I love my clients but I failed to mention how sweet they were. You see, we were shooting in this hotel and they gave us a pleasant surprise when they told us that we would be staying there for the night. Oh! What a joy! If you look at the decor, you would know that this place is marvelous! Thanks Jun Kit & Mei Sze, we love the room and we had such a good sleep that night (yeah, after 11 hours of shoot, I think Lai Yeen and I were both knackered).

***Updated****

Next up are some casual shoot that we did the next morning! If I haven’t mentioned it before, I’ll mention it again, I love my clients! They brought me out for some great Fish & Chips that day and we took some really really nice casual shots. Here’s one to wet your appetite.

Till then, enjoy the pics and have a fantabulous week ahead!

What an absolute joy it is to shoot a pre-wedding in Melbourne! The weather was cold and windy but that also means I won’t be sweating like crazy like I normally would in tropical Singapore! The weather was kind to us because it was reported to rain for the most parts of the weekends but when it came to the time of the pre-wedding session, it was bright and sunny with no rain clouds in sight. The heavens were upon us! Jun Kit and I were college mates back in the day but we sort of lost contact. But thanks to the wonders of the Internet, Friendster and Facebook, we managed to keep in contact. This has been months in planning and thanks to my lovely clients, they’ve arranged everything for us from the moment we left Singapore to the time we started shooting. The schedule and venues were all planned, prepared and I didn’t have to worry one bit. Oooh, how I love my clients! So enjoy the photos from the day shots that we took that day, more to come later!

First up, shots taken from the Parliament building. A famous stop for weddings and pre-weddings alike. I think I saw like another 3-4 wedding couples that day. This place is packed with tourist. I’m glad I manage to take a few shots here minus the crowd.

Melbourne City is famous for their tram rides and yellow cab taxis like NY. Just before we left the parliament, I manage to capture both in the same shot.

Mei Sze looking gorgeous walking down the main shopping district area. By the way, she was in the middle of the tram tracks, talk about dangerous!

Melbourne is filled with graffiti walls. What’s a pre-wedding in Melbourne if you don’t pay a visit to these famous locations?

Melbourne, the garden state. Surely there’s lots and lots and lots of gardens to be found there.

Stopped by at Docklands to shoot a few shots here.

The beautiful Webb Bridge at Docklands.

Melbourne has got to be one of the most beautiful cities that I’ve every been. If you are planning a pre-wedding in Australia, Melbourne is definitely a place to beat.

Hi guys!

I know, I know, it’s been a while! I’ve been away in Melbourne, Australia for a week and sad to say, I haven’t been able to connect to the Internet much. Thus, the slow update. I’ve been busy catching up with much needed sleep, work and editing photos. I promise to have more photos up very soon.

At the meantime, here is one photo that we took in Melbourne during the Pre-Wedding shoot.

Hey,

I should be on my way to Langkawi by the time you read this. I’ll be having a helluva time with the Wedding Story team. They’ve been a great sport by inviting my wife and I on a retreat with them. I’m sure I’ll be enjoying myself there, soaking my feet in the pool and enjoying the beautiful landscapes of Langkawi. Honestly, I’ve never been there before, so I’ve no idea how it looks like.

For today, I’ll be posting a FAQ video post. I thought I’d just share a few things I’ve picked up from various photographers. Thanks guys for sharing all these knowledge with me and I plan to impart to others as and when I can. So, the question is how do I store my CF Cards and my batteries? Enjoy!

Ok, since I’m not a pro in Nikon gear, I must have mistaken it with some other battery pack that Nikon uses. Anyways, the SB900s uses 4 batteries like the Canon flashes. Good to know when and if I switch to Nikon. I know some people would be delighted if I do.

Thanks to Jon Low who RT’ed this from someone else wee early in the morning. I was still dreaming about it when I woke up this morning. I guess it’s all over the twittersphere now but I thought I’d just add it here. This has got to be the coolest wedding couple ever! I went to the link from the tweet and it says, “Watch it. You might cry. You may get up and dance. You may break into instantaneous giggle fits. You may even be slightly horrified.” What about you, would you laugh, dance or cry? Watch the video.

I teared a little at the end. This has got to be the coolest wedding video I’ve seen for a long long time. How I wished all weddings are like this, but I know everyone has their own preference and being the wacky me, I love the unexpected. That’s my code. My motto. My life. I love it! Well, if you have ideas that is out of this world, some dying fantasy (wedding related only, puh-lease!), or an unrealised dream that you would want to on your wedding day, feel free to contact me and we can cook up something unexpected. It’ll be fun, it’ll be exciting and most importantly memorable.

Would you laugh, dance or cry?

That’s entirely up to you.

Waiting for the Groom’s Party to arrive.

Apparently, these Tong Sui (Chinese dessert) was filled with wasabi!

Jason required to write down 10 things that he loves about Doris and at the end, sign a contract to abide by the “rules” set by Doris.

Jason had to read out loud the “contract” that he just signed.

What Jason didn’t know was that there was a surprise waiting for him.

Gotcha!

Doris confronted him and asked him to explain why he went to the wrong room.

Jason affirms Doris and everything was perfect!

Doris looks so cute here drinking the “Tong Sui” dessert. Love this pic.

I’ve gotta end my entry with this last photo. Why? Because all those lovely ladies were holding on to my Moo Cards!

Ok, it’s time to sleep. I’m gonna start on my next series of photos soon. Yawn!

I met Jason & Doris at Andy & Kelly’s Wedding. Jason is Andy’s younger brother who was also getting married. It was sweet of Andy and his family to hire me as the wedding photographer to cover Jason & Doris’ Wedding in Malacca as a gift for the both of them.

Gotta be my favourite shot for the day.

Doris has a nice smile. I made sure that I took a photo of that smile of hers.

The “Chee Muis”, note the quotes… ahem..

…and the Heng Tais.

Let me know what you think of the black borders, love it, hate it, please comment!

Here are more pictures from Ban Yew and ESther’s Wedding! It’s almost 2AM and I’m too tired to think of words, so I’ll let the photos do the talking. Enjoy!

My schoolmates. All grown up. All matured.

This is a pretty funny photo that is worth a mention. Ban Yew popped the champagne and the cork didn’t get very far. It hit the stage ceiling and fell back to the ground. Thus the reaction of the next photo.

A message from a friend.

The lovely Esther, watching the Same Day Slideshow from the morning session.

After party event.

Ok, I seriously can’t think anymore. I’ve gotta stop writing and start to get ready for bed. Yawnz! Good night folks, see you in the morning! Oh, wait, it IS the morning!
