Distant Dreamer

A mid-summer night dream

I shot this awesome wedding alongside Simon and Yang of Substance films 3 weeks ago! This is one relaxed and sophisticated wedding sans planners and its was ran beautifully by the couple great friends. Harijanto made a awesome setup with his architecture style mid summer night dream theme and we are all treated to jewel colours at both the receptions in White Ribbit Restaurant as well as Four Seasons hotel.

Shin made great efforts to feed the crew and she was a great bride to work with! The team had loads of fun and beautiful photography opportunities in many occasions. The lighting was quite a challenge with at least 4-6 different types and sources of light during the banquet. Working with an high ISO is mandatory and I think back in the film days, most of the stuff we shoot will not be able to represent itself in the past.

This is poetry in motion, groups of people in harmony, wide angles with the real influx of asymmetric flux. I love the ragging session. This is one of my most fondest moments for shooting wide. Enjoy the rest of the coverage.

From now onwards, my comments will be based mainly on the photography aspects of each shoot and what merits me to work and see that way.

I hope I can improve my work in the eyes of the public with this format, thanks once again!

So sorry for the lag of updates and we are not able to put everyone work on the blog as we like you to explore our work in more depth and surprise when you visit us to review our portfolios.

Simple, elegant, classy. That was the feeling that the couple and how they plan their wedding evolves my thoughts. I had visited the Church of St Marys over 3 times the course of the week however each time I would be able to find a different facet to shoot in.

As a wedding photographer, I needed to keep my work fresh and fun. I like the challenge to revamp my shoot each time I approach familiar spaces. The art is to not have too much of a pre-conceive matter to approach space but rather put yourselves in a situation whereby you need to be constantly in your toes.

Its a rather hard approach and a tall act to follow but thankfully I think I still have the passion for each wedding to be able to create and partake at the same time.

I just read the internet photography forums and in-regards to wedding photography, its not so much your art to maintain the business but rather the marketing and business aspect. I beg to differ, I prefer when our company get referred, its because of the dynamics we provide for each client. Personalise your wedding because I shoot with an open heart.

Enjoy the pictures.

This was one wedding where so many elements intertwine and creates a powerful, powerful environment for us to capture. The cool brothers sans wedding clothes, stretch limos, beautiful floral arrangements , lovely banquets, great company!

I enjoyed myself and tried my best to document a wide spectrum of this multi faceted wedding celebration. This wedding, I employed all my tools. haha!

sorry for the lack of updates

this will persist for now as we finish our october assignments!

Cheers!
