One day my friend Kevin Tan contacted me that one of his best friends would like to do a pre-wedding shot so he introduced Sean and Cindy to me. The first time I met up with Sean & Cindy, they told me that they were upset about the outcome of their Bridal album and wanted to redo the album again by me. So since they already did a pre-wedding shot I suggested them to do a half day shot instead. Something that able to recall the love of both of them. The first time I visited Cindy's place, her house was gigantically big LOL, behind her house is a golf course. Cindy wanted to have the shot taken in the gold course area so I said why not.
It was a nice and sunny weather that day, without much heat and close to sunset. We did the shot about 2 hours and I was quite satisfied with the outcome. Cindy is a perfectionist who wanted things to be perfect and worked out according to her own way, but in turn I suggested to her that instead of shooting a series that how she wanted others to perceived, why not we do a shot that how you wanted to perceive yourself. She was confused what I was saying at first but I think the result will do the trick. :) When I perceived Cindy's room, it was like a princess shire, she even have her own pantry in her room hehe, the furnitures were very princess like. The more I found out about Cindy is that she is actually a lady with strong character. Everything she does in every minute matters along the way because every step she makes will be part of her own history. I in my mind I had a long thought about what Cindy is missing in her life so that I can shoot something to filled the gap in her heart. Having said that I understood that a girl with such personality is easy to get defensive if I just tell in words, so I use pictures to reflect it, recalling the essential part of a relationship. Enhancing everybit of it, so that both personalities can dwell even deeper over time, that's why the theme of this session is called "Love Invigorate", yes it is for invigorating purpose.
The shot is trying to bring balance between two character, with a strong character like Cindy, only Sean is able to tame her hehe, he is the only guy in the world that able to control her, and Cindy is able to use her soft character infront of him. This is something that I observed over time. Someone had told me one thing in the past, for every strong lady, whenever she fell in love she will just able to summit to her love ones. This is one great example. However, I can also see the hardship in Sean's eye trying to be the man in the house. So love invigorate is also for the family to perceive, value those relationship between them and as long there is love, any miracle is possible. :) Thank you Sean and Cindy for trusting my work, it will take sometime to loving those pictures, remember to flip through those images every year~ hehe....
