Che Wei & Jaslyn Wedding

Jaslyn was one of the jie meis at Kwee Guan and Junyi's wedding which we covered last year. We were very much surprised when she engaged our service without any meet up! I guess she had total faith in us. And course, we put in our best!

Che Wei, the groom, got his younger bro, Che Siong, to sneak into Jaslyn's house just as we were getting Jaslyn's parents to veil her up. Che Wei certainly know how things were sequentially executed on a wedding day! Hence Che Xiong managed to throw Che Wei Jaslyn's house keys from inside! It was a whole lot of fun!

The outdoor shoot we had was under the hot sun of 1130am. We couldn't do it any earlier due to rain. By then, Jaslyn was already in her Kua instead of her wedding gown. I think it made her cooler that way. I couldn't explain why, but Bernard (from Ave 8) and I worked seamlessly together that day. He could get his shots and I could get mine easily -- all without asking Che Wei and Jaslyn to do poses. It was over before the couple knew it. Perhaps our combined 13 yrs of experience helped?

Jaslyn had given us the creative freedom to shoot specifically to produce the same-day-edit highlights that was to be screened during the dinner. This gave us more time to set up for the perfect shots that we want, and not be restrained by the need to ensure continuity of scenes.



Layered shot. A mirror reflection shot with the matching flowers in the foregrd and the gown hanging in the backgrd.



Closeup shot with the application of a fill light (to prevent the usual dark eye rings) as the sun was still not up yet!


Yeah.. the sun finally shined through the windows! See how dimensional this scene was with that beautiful glimmer along the edges of Jaslyn's sharp features and the right shadows in the right places.


A reactionary shot.


All natural. No poses for this photo/video shoot. Only real activities. It was literally a walk in the park on a wedding day!



And yes, all the kissing shots that we film are real french kisses. Very sensual and real. We do not allow couples to merely put their lips together because they'll look like characters from the wax museum...
