Overseas Pre-Wedding – Paris Paris 2009

Dear friends, we have completed our shoot of 3 couples in Paris together with the hair & make-up maestro again, TG Goh. The gowns (from Tan Yoong, Dang Bridal and Kai Bridal) and make-up by TG really sent heads turning throughout Paris and were always accompanied by congratulations in all languages.  The shoots went well and the well-wishes made it even more romantic.

Parisians celebrate love. You’ll see couples, young and old, kissing everywhere and we even engaged in kissing ‘competitions’ with them occassionally : )

We had a great time and we’d like to thank all our couples for putting in so much effort and your new shoes to the test, haha.. and we are looking forward to our next shoot in Paris in September.

 

 

to all who are in love

Europe continues…

Here are some images from our trip so far, from Budapest, Vienna, Prague and Paris. Find some of them amusing, like the one of the horse carriage entering the castle grounds in Budapest.

 

We are halfway through the shoot in Paris and have gotten something interesting this time. Will be putting up some images soon : )

 

to all we are in love

Europe bound

Dear friends, John Lim Photography will be away for the month of June for our shoot trip to Europe. We will be covering a wedding in the Rhone Valley in South France as well as pre-wedding shoots in Paris. This is the first time we are shooting a wedding so far away and we are very excited to be a part of this. Its going to be a very intimate wedding with the gathering of very close friends, relatives and a great restaurant by the vineyard…

We are flying of tomorrow (1st June) and have lots to pack, still. Wanna make sure we have the things we need to make the shoots go smoothly, equipment, spares, back-ups, practically our whole office, haha…

We can still be reached by emails & text messages, so continue to write in and we’ll reply as soon as we can : )

Do look out for updates from our journey..

The Wedding of Matthew and Angeline

The meeting of minds and deep roots in their belief maketh a great pairing. Matthew a.k.a “Magic Man” and Angeline tied the knot on 18 April 2009. It was a very enjoyable wedding with great (some crazy) friends, good food and fantastic speeches. Guess the only time of the day when it got serious was during the signing of the marriage certificate.

 

Love this “no look” shot.

One of my favourites of the day.

“Magic Man” and Angeline were praticising their surprise item in a separate room whenever they had the chance.

Even I was not spared from the firing squad. Look at Angeline, so much evil in her eyes…  Aiyo..  : )

 

 

to all who are in love..

Maternity – “Super mum”

Congratulations to Evert and Mathilda on the birth of their girl. I had the priviledge to shoot them just a few days before she’s due for delivery. During the shoot we even saw little bumps of baby Olivia kicking, its so amazing. Can’t wait to shoot her. Here are some shots of ‘Supermum’.

The journey south – pre-wedding shoot in New Zealand

Finally, the last installment of “The Journey South” : ) What great fun we had, the crazy drives and the glorious night sky. New Zealand is one of the few places left on Earth where it is still possible to see an entire starlit night sky that’s not drowned out by light pollution or affected by factory smoke.

 

 

Here is one of my all time favourites. How often do you see the night sky so full of stars in such clarity?
