The first shoot of mine after the seventh month was an ROM for Scott and Cara. They are such an awesome couple, and I'm really thankful for them for letting me be part of their day. Their ceremony was held at CSC at Bukit Batok, and we managed to catch a few shots of just the two of them before the guests arrived. They were a bit nervous at the beginning, but after a while they became pros at posing! Okay, enough talk. Pictures!















































Hope you guys are enjoying married life now, cheers!

I was really very glad that Lionel and Parlin have full confidence in me shooting their wedding banquet, and honestly, it was such fun! It wasn't really the things that happened that made it fun, it was the people. They had an amazing group of friends, all wonderful and absolutely charming. Not to mention hilarious as well. I spent most of the time laughing along with their friends. I love weddings like this, where it feels as though I'm "part of the gang", even for a few hours of a day.


Parlin looking beautiful!


They took their pre-wedding photos in Indonesia, where Parlin is from.














Yam Seng-ing is really really loud!





Let the drinking commence!


Lionel getting bullied into drinking a whole lot!


Cheers!

They actually had gotten married in Indonesia, where Parlin is from. And judging from the wedding montage that they played during the dinner, it looked fabulous and grand, with singing and dancing and other things. Well, I wish both Parlin and Lionel a long long marriage with many good happenings in their life. :)

A lovely lady by the name of Vinu had called me sometime in the beginning of August, and had asked me to shoot her two children, hoping that she could send out some of their photos to talent agencies and they would be able to get jobs from there. So we arranged a date and I went over to their house in Serangoon area to do a quick shoot for them.

I tell you, and I am not exaggerating, their house is absolutely gorgeous. I was awed by their furniture (how detailed everything was), and also by how clean and bright the whole house looked. Everything put together was super duper pretty, yet it didn't look overdone, like a showroom that had a very warm lived-in feeling to it.

The only thing that outshone the house were the people living in it. Sapna is gorgeous and the camera just loves her. Vishay is handsome and has a very bollywood hero look going for him. Vinu herself was very warm and friendly! The poor dear had hurt her back when I came over. I do hope she's feeling a whole lot better now.

Anyway, this is the first time ever using my new swanky 40D and I'm loving it! The quality is far better than my trusty old 400D and it's a whole lot smarter too! I can't wait to shoot more with it!



Doesn't she just look amazing?


And he looks so handsome?











Having a little fun shooting the both of them together!





I love her ethnic india outfit, it's absolutely gorgeous.

I believe most of you know that our company donates a small percentage of our profit two local charities, one of which is Action for Singapore Dogs. It's an organization that helps stray dogs as well as rehoming dogs. I honestly think that what they do is something very, very kind and as much as possible, please do support them. And after reading the terrible plight some dogs have to go through because they have been dumped by their owners, or for whatever reason they needed to be rehome, I'm quite glad that I actually adopted my dog. Visit them at Http://www.asdsingapore.com/index.php.

Many of you know that I have a lovely little shih tzu, Yuki! She's such a darling. We've had her for I think close to 7 years now, and she gels really well with everyone in the family. We think she thinks she's not a dog though, haha. She loves humans and likes to fight with other animals.




We got her close to when she was a few months old. Half a year old, maybe. Her previous owner had bought her for her sons, but as they were too young to look after her and their family helper was going home permanently, they had put her up for adoption, and we got in touch through a friend's friend. We saw her and immediately fell in love. She was so funny, in a very stupid/blur kind of way. Since then, she has brought us much laughter and joy, and sometimes tears when we realized she ran out of the house (always not far, but oh so scary).

I guess she's one of the lucky ones, who hadn't had the need to go through the homelessness, the hunger, the loneliness of being a stray.

I urge all friends and couples who visit this blog and happen to see this, please adopt. These dogs waiting to be rehomed might be difficult in the beginning, but that's only because they're frightened. With proper love and care, I believe they can be a wonderful addition to any family. :)

Just came back from Bintan a couple of hours ago, and already I'm blogging. See how much I love you guys to be blogging at this hour when I'm so sleepy. People go to resorts and become revitalized but I ended up being really sleepy instead. Why ah? I think it's because we slept too much, then our bodies feel shiok and don't want to wake up anymore.

Sham (my honey) decided that my birthday present was going to be a trip overseas! We booked 3 days 2 nights at Bintan Lagoon Resort, and it was honestly very good! I expected quite bad because of negative reviews but I really enjoyed my stay there!

I actually did up this whole post with pictures and everything, but I decided to take it down because, well, it's a tad bit too personal to be put up here. Just know that I enjoyed myself thoroughly, and am back to take on more work and fulfill all the weddings that I'm lined up to shoot. :)

P.S. The photos not very glam also, very normal tourist-y shots. So don't feel like you've missed out on anything!

Off to Bintan for a short getaway. Won't be bringing my darling dslr along, as I fear the wind and waves will attempt to murder it, but I'll be bringing my trusty little compact camera. Will post some pictures when I get back from this little short holiday. Many many thanks to bosslady Regina for helping me out with the scheduling of customers while I'm gone. I'm glad we've worked out a way to see each other's schedule!

Anyway, if you haven't already seen, this is something that should keep you entertained for a while! :) Couples that are to be married, especially take note! This video put a great big smile on my face. If I ever do have a wedding in the future, I'd like something like this. Everyone should have fun on their big day, and the best part is, you surprise all your guest and everyone will remember you wedding. It don't get more memorable than this.

Sorry! I know it's been some time since my last entry. July has been quite busy month! My appointments are picking up and I'm very hopeful in getting my name out there into the industry. Here's a family I shot recently. They are absolutely amazing. All of them are so close to one another. I really wished my family was as close as they were, but with my sister married and moving out, it's going to be a little quiet from now on.

Anyway, Robert and Serita were originally from Sydney, and they were in Singapore for a couple of years because Robert was posted here. They are, however, back in Sydney now! This was shot just a week prior to their return. They were staying at Treetops Service Apartments, and Serita suggested we did our shoot there. And I must say she made a good choice! The place was breathtaking!

Here are the pictures, now!




I love the vintage feel of this photo. They're a really loving couple!




Their two older children, Isabella and Alexandro! Aren't they just a handsome pair?










Robert and Serita smothering their littlest one with all the love they can give!


Aren't they such a sweet family?



Hope to be able to shoot more of such lovely people! :)

It's my birthday today! I had a party last Saturday, and another one this Saturday. Which is kind of the reason why my July is packed to the brim! I think I'm busy all the way till August, with work and birthday celebrations, which is also why I haven't been updating this blog at the moment. I promise I'll post up some new photos soon! There's this really cool family I shot last month that I have yet to share with you guys. Till then, be merry! :)
