Patrick and Shelly's Wedding

What a beautiful wedding held at the beautiful Terindah Estate overseeing the winery and bays. Enjoy!

The sun was shinning from behind. :D

This is one of my favourite. :)

Husband and wife moving in the same direction. That's marriage, a beautiful working marriage. :)

Nop, not Patrick & Shelly's bub, but you are excused for thinking that. 

Recommended: Have a ball at your own wedding! This is my other favourite shot.

Lucky to get this one. It was really dark outside and everyone started lighting up before the bride and groom came out. I was so worried they will burn out before they even got to the door. And they did for some!

Eric and Fen Fen's Wedding Day

What a beautiful couple, Eric and Fen Fen. Congratulations and very well done for putting together such a beautiful wedding. It was beautiful not so much because of the extravagant venue, or the expansive delicacies. It was a really beautiful wedding because it was bursting with love, happiness, and friendship.

Honestly, I can't remember what we had for dinner that evening. skipping all, apart from the main course, I just gobbled it down between the shots without paying much attention. Thanks to my wife, I was kept hydrated throughout the evening.

Of all the photos taken that day and evening, this is one of the most memorable for me and definitely my favorite.

Eric carefully examining (his most precious) Fen Fen's hand for a little prick. It communicates so much love from the groom and trust and dependency from the bride, the perfect picture of the life that is to come after that (wedding) day, for the rest of their lives. It reminds me of Matthew 13, the parable of the fine pearl in the Bible. :)

Another one that I really like is this of Eric's dad, Mr Xu, the word "PROUD" was printed all caps, impact font, in bold type and size 64 on his face! I think Eric's late mom was smiling at Eric as well from above that evening.



Fen Fen's family is amazing, on the wedding morning when all are running around like mad trying to get ready. Instead, they read their Bibles. They were also constantly reminding the photographer to eat!

You have my two thumbs up! :)





Thank you very very much Eric and Fen Fen. I wish you "one" a lifetime of happiness. XOXO

Is That Hat Too Big?

Like many others, I love to take beautiful events such as weddings. However, one of the first things I read about wedding photography is not to do it. I don't believe advice like this comes from wedding photographers worried about their livelihood trying to scare amateurs like myself away.

The wedding should be the most beautiful day of one's life. Please excuse my generalisation, the main characters (bride and groom) in the event (wedding) are young, at the prime of their lives, courageous and deeply in love with one another, looking ahead to a lifetime together, choosing one another, forsaking everyone else, to facing whatever the world throws at them together from that time on, or can not imagine living the rest of their lives without each other, wanting to grow old together...


Why this long winded babbling? What is my point? Yes, there is a point to this. And it is that the wedding day should be the most beautiful it can possibly be, for the bride and for the groom, it is not the playground for a keen photographer who doesn't do wedding photography professionally for a living. One of the best thing one can do when approached by a friend to do a his/her/their wedding is to foot the bill for (probably with the financial help of other friends/family) for a professional wedding photographer.

Even if your friend/s tell you that they just want some journalistic pictures to capture the event. You want to make sure their wedding pictures are worthy of looking at by the love birds and family and friends and future family and friends for ages to come.

Having said that, like everything else, there are exceptions of course. But they ARE exceptions.


Recently I attended an event where the official photographer's pictures were deemed un-usable by the client. It was a big event and as the nature of events go, it can not be redone for the photographer's benefit. To the relief of the organiser, my pics happens to meet their requirements, hence the client took mine... I feel very sorry for the official photographer because I know what went wrong and it wasn't completely his fault! Also, I am very aware that the same could happen to me.

Just one week on, I was shooting casually at a fashion event where powerful sunlight was streaming into the room while very warm (aka yellow) and powerful spotlights were on the little platforms where models will walk to and post. I had the benefit of being able to do it twice. After learning some great tips from my good friends (photographers) who were also there, it turned out ok for the second time. What a disaster it would have been if I were contracted to shoot this fashion event.

There is so much more I need to learn!

The All New Mr & Mrs Bubb

Congratulations to Andrew and Dharshana, the new Mr & Mrs Bubb!


Fourth of July, affectionately known as the Independence Day. However, 4th July, 2009 will always be remembered by Andrew and Dharshana as the day they pledged their love for one another in front of their family, friends and before their God; to love one another in sickness and in health, for richer and for poorer, so long as they both shall live.

Look at this royal wave from one very proud woman. What about the lucky fella next to her? He is so happy, no one could wipe that smile from his face on their big day.

May the Lord bless you with a lifetime of happiness and ever growing love for one another. May the Lord be the head of your household and your house be always filled with laughters and warmth.

Proverbs 18:22, "He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the LORD. "

Love each other with the same love Christ has for the church. Giving to each other, prefering one another over yourself. Giving and forgiving just as in Christ God has forgiven us and continue to bear with us.

Through God, your love will never fail.

Andrew and Dharshi are Engaged!

Well done Andrew for putting together a fantastic surprise engagement party for your darling Dharshi! Look at how (pleasantly) surprised the bride-to-be was and a big sigh of relief for Andrew for finding the place and keeping it secret. Great job mate! Good work Jenks also!
We are so very happy for the two of you. Well done for finding each other. We wish you a life time of happiness, love and chocolate (at least Dharshi would say amen to that!).

All the girls were quick to offer Dharshi husband training advice while Andrew wasn't really sure what he is signing himself up to... Nah, he just couldn't believe his luck! :)

Sorry to all the admirers, available bachelors and single girls out there (and those looking to upgrade what they have...), Dharshi and Andrew are officially off the market!

I can't wait til your wedding day and see your new home! We love both of you! XOXO

Congrats to the new Mr & Mrs Choo

Very well done David and See Voon! David, you know your whole family - mum, your sis, myself, uncle Jason and many others are very proud of all you have accomplished. You threw a beautiful (wedding) party, sorry we couldn't be at the Ipoh one as well. The ice sculpture was fantastic and so was the reception, the band, the video presentation and of course the food. What about that 32 seconds kiss?! I wish you and See Voon a life time of happiness together. May good things continue to come to the two of you and your love for each other will grow even stronger now that you are married.

Romans 13:8 says, "Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another..." In short, love each other like you owe it to one another.


You might ask, where is the beautiful new Mrs Choo... She is being pampered and made up by the make up artist/s.

Ian and Kelly's Wedding

Helped as the videographer at a wedding over the weekend. A very challenging exercise indeed. Wasn't allowed to take any stills while the official photographer was there. Had to wait until he's left, which was around 9:15pm, before I can take out my camera and blast away! It was a great experience. Love the emotion, human engagement, fun, etc, etc. Sorry, can't share any of that good stuff without permission.

Fantastic choice of venues - ceremony at Rippon Lea and reception at the Langham
Hotel top floor + roof. Well done Ian and Kelly. Wish you two life-long happiness and ever growing love for one another.

Here are a few I will share with you for the time being (until I get permission). Pleeeaaase?

This photographer / cameraman is blinkered when he is on the job so I only found out little about this amazing lilies... They are new scientific research products named after Kelly. You won't find them any where else! Boy, I wish I paid more attention.

The wedding cake... what about the wedding cake?? It look completely wicked! The second or bottom tier was a collection of these little cakes, about 2.5-3cm in diameter each. I didn't get to eat any of it though... Too engrossed with the job again. This chocoholic will forever wonder how wonderful they taste.

Well, may be it is for the better... and you don't have to be jealous, because like you, I can only look... :P
