Recently we have create a fans club in facebook and the group is growing, currently more than 1000 members in the club. Due to tight schedule, we prefer to upload images in this fans club as it’s a easier and more effective platform for us to communicate with our client. We will upload our work from time to time, and you could see lot of images which I have post in my blog. However we will still blog the images when after this wedding season. Join us to check out our latest work & masterpiece.

See you all there!

I have shot wedding for quite some time. I feel touch everytime I recall the wedding of my lovely client. This montage shows the journey of mine as wedding photographer and hope you all feel touched and enjoy the sweet memories of my photographs.

* Pls kindly wait while loading, as it may take some time. Enjoy viewing .

I always think that, how SHOULD I present the way I shoot, direct, pose the models, or even my passion, vision, and my dream as a wedding photographer to my blog readers. Until recently, I compiled a series of photographs of Winnie & Hing, a lovely COUPLE into a video. I appreciated their patient and support on the shooting day, and it pushed me to perform myself even better than usual! I felt that I am lucky to be a wedding photographer. I put plenty of effort to produce this, and I can’t wait to share it with all of you. The video is dedicated for you all, “HOPE” you all enjoy viewing it and love my Style of Photographs

Special thanks to my assistants of the day : Tiffany, Brian & Peggy.

I will move on for my dream… to be an international wedding photographer.

Album which’s full with emotion, story, joy.. . This is the way we design an album where efford & time is spent.. Here we present our latest album. In fact, we love it so much & we hope you all love it too.

During our first wedding fair participated, we displayed our latest albums, prints , slide shows & etc.  We love the quality of paper & printing of our latest albums. We put our time and effort to edit & design the whole album  before printing and delivery to our lovely clients. For those who were not able to attend the wedding fair on 28 Feb 2010, here you go. We upload some pictures of the albums and we are sure you will love the vivid color & the perfect black & white tone.

Some of our prints,you will love the color & details of the prints.

Hope you love the albums & our work too.

 I always  think that the most gratifying part about being a wedding photographer is to be able to meet people around the world  . Many have now become close friends, I’m thankful that things had turned out that way. It’s my pleasure to photograph the family portrait of Von’s family. It’s my 3rd day in Brisbane and we spent the whole morning till noon for this session near their new house. Jaden, the son of Von & Elaine , is so cute and he was great to be photographs. I was grateful for their hospitality during the time in Brisbane. Here’s some of my favourite, enjoy viewing

We try a lot of high key photography.

This is their new house.

Here’s the complete slide show which I prepare as a gift for them. Hope you all love it too

Here’s another great true love story from our beloved couple, Vivian & Ming Guan. Congratulations & thanks for engaging me as your wedding photographer hope you are enjoying your newly married life! It was truly an honour capture such important photographs of your wedding and witnesses such a milestone in your life. I really had a blast shooting this wedding. Special thanks for the makeup artist, Syezen, for doing a great job. Her style totally suits my taste. Simple, neat & elegant. I hope we can have more chance to work together in coming soon.

Recently I travel outstation quite a lot for wedding assignments. Haven’t really been home and relax for some times.  This morning I found 2 items in my mail box, the batch of my first Accolade of Excellence award from WPPI & a wedding invitation cards. These 2 things are indeed my motivation and encouragement of being a wedding photographer. Ya, I only able to get one award, not 2 , 3 or more, but this encourage me to achieve more in future.

Furthermore, I feel glad that my clients treat me as their friend too. The wedding invitation card is mailed from Singapore by Frances Tu. I will fly to Singapore to shoot their registration of marriage & engagement session and I can’t wait for that anymore, so excited!

Some of you may ask what I do before I do wedding photography in full time.  Indeed, it’s a huge jump from my previous profession to my current career. I used to be a Mechanical design engineer in Sony and responsible on some mechanical design of LCD TV. I was also a mechanical engineer in a cooling tower design firm. I did lot of technical design. I have spent 2 years working as part time photographer before doing it in full time.

I’ve always been asked what I like best about being a wedding photographer. I love photographing people, telling stories, & be friend with my clients. I found no better place for that than in weddings. In addition, I think the most gratifying part about being a wedding photographer is to be able to meet people, share my knowledge and learn from others too. It has given so much opportunity for me to broaden my perspective of life. In fact, I’m thankful that things had turned well and able to make lot of friends with my clients, industry peers & some of my mentors.
Here’s a picture of me with my clients, Sam & Elaine which taken last 2 days in their wedding in Melacca, a historical state in Malaysia

Sam and Elaine! Congratulations and I hope you are enjoying newly married life! Thank you so much for the opportunity to shoot your beautiful special day and witness your wedding!
It was truly an honour - not just to photograph such a milestone in your life, but to know you. Thanks a lot for your hospitality

I wish everyone a great & fantastic New Year ahead; I look forward to aim higher this year.
