Collin & Vivien

We simply love pre-wedding shoots! There are so many ideas to explore. We have been waiting for the right couple - someone who possesses high energy level, adventurous and yet leave everything else to us. Then Collin and Vivien came along and they are exactly the ones we were waiting for.

Collin and Vivien are a friendly and simple couple who enjoy common activities. After we got to know the couple, we realised 1) they love to play tennis and 2) they go to Pulau Ubin on a regular basis. You can find them on the island so often that you'll think they are Ubin's PR!

We travelled in a big group that day -- Collin, Vivien, 2 of their best friends (Yvonne and Jeffrey), a makeup artist, Jeremy and us. As we walked through Millenium Walk, we got countless stares from on-lookers. The couple were like movie stars with their very own camera crew. Haha!

Collin and Vivien were very pro "actors". They were so focused in playing tennis that we see beads of perspiration on their forehead appear on our LCDs very soon. They just continued to play for us to get all our shots and left everything else to us. We appreciate that kind of trust and confidence. It gave us the freedom to try new angles to craft their pre-wedding video.

The whole shoot went very smooth. We felt like a family and the shoot didn't feel like a job. It was much like having an outing together. Yvonne attended to the couple's and the working crew's needs. She brought us food and tissues. Jeffrey was a great volunteer-porter too. He carried the Collin and Vivien's stuff and our equipment too!

Finally the day ended with a toast of sparkling grape juice that the couple had brought along in their picnic basket. With the sun setting in the background, we couldn't ask for more. Jeremy has posted some of his spectacular photos on his blog too (http://www.jeremyfoo.blogspot.com/). We shall not reveal too much here before the wedding....

Bernard & Philomena Wedding

Sorry for the long absence. Been real busy with several projects! Here's Bernard and Philo's big day.

A few really memorable points from their day for us. 1) Philo's big and mesmerizing eyes, 2) Bernard and his band of bros dancing in disposable undies with words scribbled, 3) the quick 20 min outdoor photoshoot under the terribly hot sun with Paul Goh (but the couple still looked cool!), 4) the hilarious but touching speeches by Bernard and Philo at their wedding banquet

An excellent couple to serve. Bernard had been the very well-mannered and sporting groom who was partially saved by the need to get into Philo's house before the auspicious hour (and the games carried on inside the house of course!). And Philo was the bubbly bride who tried to show only her demure side on her big day. Everything will go smoothly when one takes things easy on the actual day.

This wedding examplified the fact that bridal makeup is always captured more beautifully when the bride's room is clean, neat, tidy and bright with natural sunlight coming in thru the windows. We hope we can have more couples who starts their makeup only after sunrise....

Excellent Service

We carry many pieces of equipment for many of our shoots. Often the most challenging part after we have unloaded our equipment from our car is to bring them to the hotel suite or ballroom and we always wish we have an extra hand to open the doors along the route or to help us with our mammoth load of equipment .


We are deeply impressed by Conrad Hotel's service personnel for the consistent assistance they render us. We may not be their guests paying for usage of rooms/ballrooms or even spending a cent at their premises, however we are so grateful for that extra pair of hands EVERYTIME at the hotel doorstep.

Whenever we go towards the door to open it, we are always helped by the service personnel. It can be a porter, some guys in suit and even ladies in suit and heels come forward to help us without prompting. Such little acts of opening and holding the glass door for us and even help us carry the stuff to our car saved us a lot of frustration and we are delighted that such acts have been consistent since we frequent Conrad Hotel.

It's a pity that we didn't get the names of the different service personnel who have assisted us. Nonetheless, we would like to say thank you to whoever you are at Conrad Hotel that helped us so many times. You are deeply appreciated!
