remember the story about ken’s proposal? and how he showed me this video slideshow of our photos. my favourite ones of us were the ones that were either taken by selina or rachel who snapped away while we laughed or goofed around - the moments in a moment, because it truly reflected how we are with each other and how we love.
and that is why i absolutely love shooting couples/engagement sessions. it’s a dedicated time where you’re free to love and hug and laugh and giggle with your loved one whether the person’s your family, a wonderful friend or a special someone. and having it caught in a photograph to keep and to cherish <3
i had a wonderful time at the shoot with sueann and lawrence, who are my junior juniors(!) from Singapore Management University haha. the shoot was a little present to herself to celebrate her twenty first birthday! and of course, one can’t help but notice that sueann just has the most adorable laughter and smile that just makes you think how sweet and beautiful she is! these are the couple shots, but there’s more individual shots too and some behind the scene film photographs coming up too :D

i wanted to post up their engagement session photos before the wedding that happened last saturday but the schedule was so packed and tight i only managed to upload one picture that stated i was off to the wedding at 5.30am. haha
i always noticed how my engagement photos or pre-wedding photos are really quite different from other photographer’s style. and that’s great! because we all have our own different likes and dislikes and photography many times boils down to an individual’s tastes and preferences. i guess i like my couples to look more organic, more like themselves. even if she wore a gown, i wouldn’t mind her hair falling over her face or if he wore a suit, i wouldn’t mind if his bow came undone. maybe i just like the idea that i caught them in a real moment and it wasn’t an orchestrated shoot (although it kind of is? haha i hope you know what i mean)
i love it when my couples or girls look like themselves. it’s like extracting that beautiful joyful loved part of them that they are from everyday life but creating the environment for their inner beauty to shine. whenever i get the shot that i feel reflects the joy and love the couple shares and when i see real connection between them despite some gawky girl behind a camera snapping pictures of them haha, it really makes me choke up with happiness ;)
