Gavin & Michelle in Singapore PtII

Here's part 2. There were so many photos to post can't decide what to show....

Had a blast laast night!!!

The Singapore part of Gavin and Michelle's wedding was extremely fun!!! Starting from 7am in the morning the preparation started right through lunch and continued later in the evening till late with lots of dancing to end the wonderful day.

I realized that not only that you need the passion for photography but also to be able to enjoy yourself doing what you are doing, to produce photos that make an impression that will live in people's minds forever. I once was told by a leader in my church, " Enjoy the work that you are doing and it'll be work no more." How much more true when your passion is your profession. When you can be professional about your work, enjoy it and produce great and astounding results in the meantime without much effort.

When a guest and relatives at a wedding asks me, " You must be so tired starting so early and ending so late" I would reply " On the contrary, I'm full of energy." When people ask me what's my profession? I'll reply," I'm paid to attend parties every weekend, at different hotels with tons of beautiful people..." : )

Gavin & Michelle in Phuket

I spent my weekend in Phuket Thailand doing what I love most... Photography! : ) I had the honor to shoot the Wedding of Gavin and Michelle in Andaman White Beach Resort. The view was awesome and the guests were so sporting.

It was a small gathering with close friends and relatives. A beach wedding that came through for the couple with fantastic weather. The sun was shining brightly in the day and the rain that came in the evening brought chances to make photos spectacular!

I was blown away by the cloud formations that gave so much texture and mood to the photos. It was indeed showers of blessings that came. Let me walk you through the fun I had.
There were so many gorgeous photos but these are my favorites. Enjoy : )

The day started chilling by the beach... ermm... with the intense sun it seems more like baking than chilling hehe...


And guess who I met? The little mermaid...


and here's the prince and his mermaid...


Soon it was time to prepare for the ceremony... Its funny the kind of expressions you'll get with hairspary shots...


Just before the ceremony we managed to grab a few shots around the resort...



The guest were all dressed casual with the breeze blowing, sound of waves gently sweeping the onto the shore, the sun setting with fabulous cloud formations made the entrance of the flower girl, bride's maid and the couple like a fariytale come true...




This sunset group photo is definitely a keeper....


We got all the guest to run towards the camera for a fun shot. Some were skeptical but the result was loved by everyone : )


They were dubbed ' The linen Mafia'...


Soon after dinner started and food was great!


OH! and we found a wedding crasher who was supposed to be on the menu!!!


This is my favorite shot. An overall shot of the event with the help of some lighting to light up the sky.


We left the next morning feeling accomplished and satisfied with the wonderful results we got from this event. I'm definitely looking forward to my next overseas wedding shoot.

Thank you all once again...

Thank God for giving me this chance to win these awards and for all the inspirations You have given me. Thank you all of you for your support and encouragement, for all the opportunities to be the chosen one to have the honor to photograph your weddings. It has been my pleasure and joy to be part of your joyous occasion. I'm looking forward for my next wedding shoot and searching for my next award winning shot... Any volunteers? : )

Chuan & Yvette

Just a short studio session but we laughed so hard, the muscles around my mouth ached... Haha...

camera in the air....

This is a test shot inspired by Mike Larson. He throws his 1D camera up in the air to catch a shot from a bird's eye view. So excited and inspired I was willing to give it a try. See my anxious face... Hahaha...

Watch out everyone! Ask for a Mike Larson shot the next time I shoot your Wedding Day : )
