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.

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).

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.

Ok guys, here is Part 2 of the series from the Pre-Wedding shoot of Ban Yew & Esther. At sunset, we headed up to the garden rooftop of Marina Barrage, the sky was just plain beautiful.

We started playing with off camera flash with my PocketWizards.

Since it’s dark, it’s time to play with some video light!

I love this shot. I think I told Ban Yew to do something funny and I got the following shot.

While we were shooting, Andrew noticed a reflection on a marble slab and we took the chance to shoot a few shots here. One video light and one waterproof torclight from Melvin’s diving gear was used

Melvin’s shot of the couple kissing.

One of my favourite from Part 2. Melvin was inspired with a Jerry Ghionis shot and tred to replicated it but instead, we got this, which reminds me of some TVB Drama poster.

And my personal favourites for the evening.

There was this little spot outside the Marina Barrage that had a viewing platform, we got Ban Yew to try to kiss Esther.

That’s all for now folks. Hope you’ve enjoyed this series as much as I have. Thanks to Andrew and Melvin for helping out that day, it was great to have the both of you there.

Tomorrow would be another exciting day for me. Hopefully I’ll get to meet one of the top photographers in Singapore and get to learn from him. It’s been my dream to meet him in person.

Last weekend, I had a pre-wedding shoot at one of Singapore’s latest attractions, The Marina Barrage. Ban Yew was my schoolmate back in the day. I’ll also be covering Ban Yew and Esther’s wedding in June.

In the morning, it was really cloudy and it rained most of the afternoon. I was praying that the weather would change, despite the fact that I was prepared for a wet day at Marina Barrage. I was telling my wife that each time I want to go out and shoot a pre-wedding, it is always raining. I’m a master in “dramatic skies” due to the rain clouds, I told her. It’s been a long time since I last shot a pre-wedding with a blue sky. But thank God, everything turned out the way it did because at 5pm, the sun was up and the sky was nothing but spectacular.

I was accompanied by two friends, Melvin and Andrew whom I met at Louis Pang’s Workshop in KL. They helped by giving ideas and snapped a few photos for Ban Yew and Esther.

Here are some photos from behind the scene. (Wide angled photos courtesy of Melvin)

The Marina Barrage.

I had to pixelate part of the photo below. Teeheehee.

Melvin lining up for the shot.

What was not to like about the sky that day! It was pure awesomeness!

As the sunset came, we definitely walked away with several great shots.

I’m very excited as there are so many great shots that we got out of our little trip to Marina Barrage. Ban Yew and Esther were also very accommodating as we shot from 5pm to 9pm. However, I’m sure they would be very pleased with the shots we’ve got. The next update would be a two-part series of the pre-wedding session.

For now, here is a shot we took from the shoot that day…
