Sylvester & Yong Ying Wedding

Pictures are extracted from video

It is not easy for the grooms these days to fetch their lovely brides home when they have to go through challenging gate-crashing games that go beyond the usual "Suan, Tian, Ku, La" food stuff.

The current "in" games are "Lion dance" or "Cai Qing" and "Breaking the eggs". We and the ladies were highly entertained by the guys. And we believed the guys had fun living it up! I'm sure they can't find other more suitable occasions that they can be involved in such acts to make the day a more memorable one.

The couple had their solemnisation by the beach at Sentosa, followed by the dinner. The setting was lovely with the sunset as the backdrop while the couple exchanged their vows.

What came totally unexpected is the sweet email from the couple. Every word from them touches our hearts. Great chemistry working with Paul from Paul Goh Photography (http://www.paulgohphotography.com)

An extract from their email to share:

"You guys are plain fantastic, of the many decisions we made with regards to our wedding, engaging you two has got to be the best. A lot of our relatives and friends including ourselves are very much impressed with your artistic instinct and brilliant ideas when it comes to creating picture perfect moments, which I am very sure will be talking points whenever we reminiscence about our wedding day...."

Ivan & Wan Shin Wedding

We met up with Ivan and Wan Shin only 2 days before their wedding when we flew back from overseas. The couple are based in Japan and came back to host their wedding here for their family and friends. Given the short time we spent with them, we did our best to understand their requirements.


Despite the hot weather, Ivan and Wan Shin were readily obliging when I requested them to put up some challenging acts for me. Try running in suit and gown and you will know it's not easy. After a few takes, Wan Shin took off her heels and gosh, she ran really fast... The shots were well-taken and we appreciated it.


After the wedding, we received an email from the couple that the video was exactly what they wanted it to be. There was a sweet tingle in our hearts when we read that.

Ezra & Twinkle Dance MTV

A impromptu dance video that Alvin and I did for fun and it started over a cup of coffee. One fine evening, Ezra phoned and arranged to meet me for a quick discussion of his actual day wedding proceedings. Midway through, he popped up the idea of doing a dance video between him and his fiancee Twinkle as they had met and knew each other thru dance. The video was to be screened during his church proceeding. Right away I suggested the idea of doing both indoor and outdoor setting to him. He loves it and a date was fixed. Simple...fast...decisive...

I never expect Ezra and Twinkle to be such good dancers! I've knew Ezra for years and this is the first time I've seen him so upbeat and full of energy. It was during the shoot that I came to know that Twinkle was in fact, a full time dancer instructor.

We use Canon XH-A1 on the steadicam for the smooth moving shots and handheld Canon 5D MKII with lenses 50mm f1.4, 135mm f2.0L and 24-105mm f4.0L IS.

Maverick & Mavis Wedding

When we first met M&M (that's what they proudly call themselves!) a few mths back, we thought they are an odd match. Mavis exudes a sense of coolness and clamity that contrasts with Maverick's exuberance. But after meeting them several times for banquet rehearsals and such, and having gone thru their childhood/paktor photos as we prepared their photo montage, we began to see their passion for each other. Their outward differences are inconsequential.

The fetching-of-bride was a hi-energy affair. Maverick and his groomsmen were all gamed up in everything that came their way. Watch the SDE clip here

We are very happy that the highlights was very well-received during the banquet. All this was made possible with the couple being so natural and expressive. Especially Maverick and his team of brothers, who were highly spirited to make everyone exceptionally entertained.
