We did a lifestyle shoot with Nicholas and Amanda. Under the hot sun, we were burnt and got bitten by the mosquitoes. Big commando mosquitoes! All of us wanted to jump whenever the mosquitoes zzing.. past us. But the ocuple kept their cool and posed. Nice!

Yih Huei & Anna

Yih Huei and Anna is one couple who truly enjoyed their wedding day (from our experience, this is not common)Nothing could fret them. Everything was perfect and falls into place nicely for them. I can tell you, it is the couple's attitude on the AD that matters. If one takes it easy and not be too bothered about the little things, it will naturally be a perfect wedding.

The Church of St. Theresa was where the wedding took place. We like the church very much, very grand, spacious, long aisle. The couple's family and friends walked down the aisle just before Anna and her Dad. Its a celebration for the entire family!

We ran into some minor problems during the wedding vows even tho Shem and myself had attended the rehearsal 2 days prior. 1st of all, the couple's parents stood up and joined in as witnesses! This came unexpected as this wasn't the case during the rehearsal! The pastor, the couple and the witnesses huddled to form a closed circle which blocked our angles! We had to go up and gently tap Yih Huei's dad's shoulder and request him to take 1 step back so that I can capture the putting-on of the rings.

2ndly, Yih Huei was just too tall for my tripod shot! From my perspective, his shoulder was blocking Anna's face! I couldn't get Anna's expression when Yih Huei was saying his vows! Thank god we had a 3rd cam capturing the couple from the aisle. That together with Shem's camera covering Yih Huei, gave me the confidence to unplug the 30 m audio cable (which I had painstakingly laid all the way from the soundroom) from my camera, and moved up closer to the altar to get a better shot. Will have to note this danger about tall grooms next time. We had to fall back on our onboard mics, wireless mic on Yih Huei, and mp3 ambient recorder (not too bad... 3 audio backups).

Our signature crane shot here again!

Is it the Indonesian practice for the wedding couple to express their gratitute to their parents during a church wedding? Very touching that the couple kneeled down in front of their parents and hugged them.

Some screen grabs here and there from the morning proceedings
Tho we have not processed the banquet images to show, thanks to Yih Huei and Anna, I, Adeline and Shem really enjoyed ourselves the whole of last Sat.
