Love things that are not routine, not standard, don't conform. Always in the mood to try out new ways of living.

Matthew & Elaine Wedding





Matthew & Elaine had a lovely wedding with some gate-crashing in the morning followed by solemnization and wedding lunch. The moments that we really enjoyed capturing is the way the couple kissed each other. The kisses were looooong and passionate! That's what we like. It gives the extra "oomph" in the video with a romantic touch.

So our couples, don't be shy. Do kiss passionately! You are the star of your wedding day. Nobody will say no to your loooong passionate kisses!

Presenting French Cuisine

We were commissioned by Swissotel Singapore to produce this promotional clip for Andre. Poached all the way from France, he is the one of the top chefs on the 71st floor of Swissotel SG (no pun intended!).

After working with Andre closely for the few weeks (and having tasted his creations), we wouldn't call him a chef. To us, he is a food artist. The menu at Jaan is solely his creation. From conceptualization to the presentation, he is the brain behind it all. And the menu can change without notice! Andre creates the menu according to the ingredients he has on that day. His loyal fans often leave it to him to whip up a full course dinner on the spot! Imagine the exhilaration of not knowing what you'll be having for dinner, but knowing that what comes out of the kitchen is definitely top-notch French cuisine!

Some says he is temperamental and demanding, but we found him rather nice and soft. Perhaps it is because we are not working under him? We even saw the occasional boyish side of Andre during the shoots! And he knows exactly what he wants for the video (he even drew us the storyboard during the consultations!). But it wasn't difficult for us to pre-vision the shots exactly the way he wanted. I guess we can communicate well.

Total amount of HD footage gathered for this 2.5 min clip = 2.5 hrs. Whoa!

We used the Sony FX1E (with Brevis and nikon 50mm F1.8, 100mm F1.8), Sony Z7P, and Canon 5DMkII with 50 mm F1.8 for the shoot.

Brian & Lydia Full-day Highlights

Brian and Lydia's wedding has to be one of the grandest wedding we've covered. We've finally finished up their album recently (after all the workshops and bridal fairs!). Their full-day highlights can be found here.


I still remember Lydia's dad being quite "uncooperative" in the morning. He wasn't willing to veil up Lydia. I only realised the reason at the church.... He loves Lydia so much that he couldn't bear to marry her off to Brian. I could see the uneasiness in him when he walked Lydia down the aisle. It all came to light as he shed some tears when the priest asked , "who is the man who gives up his daughter". What a loving dad!



Certainly a very photogenic couple! I won't say more, watch the full-day highlights clip and enjoy!
