Dear friends,

Our studio will be closed from 26 Oct – 8 Nov as we will be away for a shoot in New York. We can still be reached by emails. Its been a very busy month and have hardly been posting.  Will certainly write more often in time to come and hope to show some images from the upcoming shoot.

We were very excited to be featured in an article in the Straits Times on 6 Oct 2009, Tuesday. It writes about the growing trend of couples here having their photos taken abroad and one of our couple, Jeffrey & Jaslyn, was featured in the article (and also their images!)  : )  Jeffrey and Jaslyn was our couple for the New Zealand shoot in August this year. You may find more images from that shoot some posts back.

Here are some images from my recent shoots.  We had fun! I was just trying out something lighthearted and informal than my usual. I like the shot of the couple snogging in the back seat while Zheng Han’s mum was driving them.

This is very funny and very real as well! Love how Ashe sticks his tongue out while Alex and Lynette were engaged in a ‘tongue fight’.

This shot below of Hendri and Mabel has got to be my favourite so far. Words just can’t describe it.

looking forward to all the upcoming shoots  : )  can’t wait!

Its a blessing to be shooting in Paris again and what beautiful weather we had. Here are some of my favourites from this shoot. Can’t wait for the next shoot in Europe. It’ll be Rome in December with room for either Paris or other cities in Italy. Due to the peak travel season, we will be closing the December (Europe) openings by 9 October.

This shot of Angis and TG got me into stitches… plus its a welcomed break for me  : )

What a journey I had with this couple… We started our first shoot in New Zealand then to Paris and its rounded off with a beautiful wedding in Bali. The day started off quite intensely with lots of sun and splashing around. The setting is just perfect; the sea, the breeze, the sun and the sound of waves crashing beneath the cliffs. The wedding planner behind all these is none other than Jonathan of Wedding Acts.

I really love the set up and the colours…. goes so well with the sky and the sea…

Here we have a last minute “ang-bao-guy”  : )

A man of few words but Daryl’s vows to Sushi were so touching… one of the best I’ve heard!

This is a first for me, bridesmaids throwing away their bouquets but what a way to do it!

This is a funny one. Noticed this guy ‘inspecting’ the wedding cake. (its a real cake btw)

The breeze blew the ashes and soot inland, its funny to see everyone shielding themselves and covering the glasses..

The party continued to the pools and with alcohol flowing freely for the night, you’d expect some really cool pictures. Here’s what I can show you only. This is a wedding I’ll never forget.

It was a beautiful Saturday and weather was perfect for the first ever car versus airplane race in Asia. This race is organized by the Changi Airport Group and its one of the shoots that I’ve done for them. Here are some of the highlights of the day, worth the sunburn! (I’m still peeling.. :p)

Love this shot a lot. I managed to catch the driver and pilot in a friendly exchange before they assumed their positions for the race. The escort (with the Airport Group) for the driver (right of picture) happens to be a friend from my JC.

There’s loads of tension out there…

Here’s one for you guys : )  The ‘Aces’ from NTU.

We have a winner, Yuey Tan! Its a lucky shot to have caught the cork. Notice the purple cap over the his shoulders, it was knocked off by the cork.

For the race, the plane had to take off after reaching full speed and by the time it returned, all the spectators were gone. So sad…

I’ve just returned from NZ and its been a priviledge to shoot there for the 2nd time this year and we’ve got some good stuff this time, even in winter : ) On some occassions, the temperature dipped below zero, super kudos to Jaslyn for braving it all for the shoot. I’d say its worth all the goose bumps : )

This is the best sunrise I’ve ever photographed and I’m elated that we’ve gotten it. The colours are really wicked isn’t it?

JL and Sherine tied the knot in his hometown, Bourg-les-Valence, about 1 hour south of Lyon. The weather was great, so were the food, wine and company : )

The civil wedding ceremony took place at the local town hall, BYO-deco style.

Love the oriental touch of the wedding favours which were all hand-made and brought over by Sherine’s sister-in-law. Wo.. Heard from JL that their lunch reception is at a 3-Michelin-star restaurant. Cool!! Even more exciting when I was invited to their kitchen to catch them in action. We’d like to thank JL & Sherine for giving us this opportunity to savour the exquisite cuisine and fine service.

The day continues back home with more food and lots of local wine. JL’s dad was very good at “pushing” his Clairettes, ensuring glasses were always full.

Felicitations.
