We Are Twinkle Little Stars - Kok Wai & Michelle

The session with Kok Wai & Michelle was awesome, both of them really cherish the time being together and celebrate this special day of them. Kok Wai booked a room in Pullman hotel in order to shorten the driving distance to JPN. And we did a small session in Pullman Hotel Putrajaya right after the registration and some family portratures. Since the session is not long, the whole session is all Beloved session. Driving them to discover the most important thing in their relationship, and spoke about those words that is deep inside our heart that we seldom had the courage to express. The more I understand Kok Wai, he is indeed a guy that treat a lady well, he provide fashion consultation for her, tidy up her hair for her, just do whatever he could to make her the prettiest princess in the world. And Micheal is a sentimental girl, summited to Kok Wai. At the vary moment Kok Wai spoke about his deepest feelings, Michelle just fall into tears. And after that those emotions just poured one by one. One of the most successful beloved session I ever had.

At the moment I departing home, the grandmom said that I am good photographer, she began to missed me. I felt glad that I played an important role in their life.

Remembrance of a Mom - Howard & Angeline Church Ceremony

Photographer: Benjamin Lim

Howard and Angeline are both cabin crew from Emirates and they both resides in Dubai. Howard from Kuwait and Angeline is Malaysian. This is one of the most heart breaking incident that we ever encounter as a photographer. A week before the wedding day, Angeline made a call to me and she was crying on the phone to tell me that her mom had just passed away and she couldn't bare the sadness. I felt very strongly with her and we postponed the pre-wedding shoot which supposed to happen a day after. And we postponed the wedding day to next year. However, the church ceremony still runs like usual. They got the church ceremony a day after the wedding day so I got to leave the job to my buddy Benjamin Lim to cover the church ceremony himself but we do all the internal editings. When I received the pictures from Benjamin, I can sensed the emotions that flows during the ceremony, everyone was very quiet, sad, a little bit of joy but inside of everyone is silence. The ceremony went very casual, not many guest arrived. Most of the people were heart brokened and unable to bare the news. And I waited for Angeline to heal. At the moment I wish I was there shooting, and over editing, I thought if I can do anything to make her happier. But I guess I leave that to time. Really sorry to hear the news Angeline, but after what we have gone through, we built a different friendship.

Precious Day - Yong Wei & Lai Peng Wedding Day

Shot Yong Wei & Lai Peng's ROM a while ago and now its their wedding day. The wedding day is a happy and cheerful one, though there are some tears along the way but their humourous personalities can be so entertaining that it made everyone cry and laugh at the same time. Most of Lai Peng friends are able to sense the happiness within them and really appreciate every moment spent. Lai Peng is a person with a heart and she does all the wedding set ups by herself, including small little things that trying to make this special day look different. 

An Touching Event - Yong Wei & Lai Peng Wedding Dinner

This wedding dinner of Yong Wei & Lai Peng had ranked one of the top tear drops wedding dinner, but the record was broken by Bernard & Jolin's wedding day later hehe. Lots of emotional surprises, and I believe there are many reason for the tears to be dropped by many people, there is not single reason, it is a combination of many encounters, from frienship to love, and from the past to present. Every cried with a reason, and at different hours, the reason tend to be different as well LOL. Lai Peng's group made them a special video footage, the footage that filled with joy and such, the objective is also to make her cry as well. And everyone laughed after they cried. The first picture above with the 2 cute little dolls, one of it was taken away and unable to be found after the wedding dinner LOL.

Time to Remember - Albert & Angie Wedding Day

Covered Albert & Angie's wedding day today and it was an emotional day with a little down pour. When I entered Angie's room, the whole ambient is very quiet, with the sound of rain drops, a peaceful morning. Sentimental Angie grabbed her mom and dad, gave them a sweet hug, she felt so much in it. Saying good bye to her lovely dog. Angie's dog is even more emotional than her, like able to sensed that Angie is about to depart from the house. And the doggie is like her dad, had started to missed her. Angie is her dad precious, and I guess for many years Angie had been imagining about her departing the house and left her dog alone. I do not know how's her doggie now but I guess like us all, after many years we still missed the one that we loved once in a while. And maybe during rainy days, the slideshow able to recall those moments, when the clock is ticking, the rain is dropping on the ground one by one, when the sky turns gloomy, we able to recall the day, when Angie got married and departed the house, to pursue a new life, to be with Albert, the handsome one hehe. 

I Carry Your Heart - Vincent & Serica Wedding Day in Ipoh

Its sunny day where Serica invited a few of her closest friends from Australia over to Ipoh to witness this unique day of theirs. The gate crash session was not a big deal, everyone just want to have some fun and laughter. However, I witness the emotional part of Vincent, and Serica was quite rational that day, doesn't have alot of ups and down. I believe Vincent felt deeper in this wedding because Serica was a Hker born in Australia, and Vincent have a very good bond with her relatives, and while his dad handed over the precious Rolex watch, his eyes dropped a few tears, I did not see how many, but just a few hehe.... Thanks to Vincent & Serica, you guys are awesome and hope to see you both someday in Australia.

A Reunion - Wai Ming & Siew Ping Wedding Dinner in Bankers Club

Love the cozy wedding that Wai Ming & Siew Ping had, I think when Siew Ping engages me she did not know much about me, maybe to her I might be like other photographer that does wedding dinner shoot like normal. Or maybe sometimes people thinks that there isn't a lot of things to shoot in a wedding dinner. However, I do believe that different photographer will produce a different outcome. I think is good that Siew Ping did not know much about me, so when she received the outcome, she said that I made the whole wedding dinner touching and kept playing the slides again and again and began to chat with me in facebook lol. Actually thats what I always do, giving people surprises, and they didn't know that the outcome can be so different.

Class of 2011 - Khai & Stephanie Wedding Day

Another awesome wedding to remember, the Class of 2011, when everyone feel like back to school, hop on the school bus, and receive the bride. Do not be fooled by the word kawaii, those bridesmaids are indeed dangerous. Everyone with a unique character, and also the school teacher which leads them, all the boys got punished like nobody's business. Think again, that counts as one of the sweetest stories in the memory of Khai and Stephanie, where Khai had to do the Leon Lai trick to enter to the first round. And followed by punishment one by one. LOL. Sweet, but painful. Thanks to Khai and Stephanie for having me being part of this, I can't wait to use my most evil imagination to shoot those girls. Because of the school theme, Khai and Stephanie allowed me to use black & white for all of the pictures, so when they see the slide, its like recalling old memories many years back.

Reason to Love - Brandon & Ceci Wedding Day

Had so much fun this wedding day, finally after a year I shoot Brandon & Ceci's pre-wedding in Scotland, and here it is, the final day. Looking at the crowd in the wedding day, I figured that many of them were triggered from the chain effects. It all started with the ROM and Pre-Wedding, the family portrait for Ceci's sister in London, then Ceci joined my first workshop during 6.6.2010, and followed with a few workshops after that, many new friendship were created in this chain process. And I am so glad about this. And the chain effects will followed on... I hope it will never end. Unlike other couples, Ceci is indeed a unique one. Lots of laughter we all shared. And the Chain effect will followed with Wai Wai Yeoh, her best buddy who had just engaged us for a pre-wedding session in London and Santorini a year after, and her youngest sister Isabelle who is planning to get married in 2013. KK, who had joined in one of our workshop, who is now a good buddy of Ceci. Yoko who get involved in many of our workshops and a good buddy of mine who is now the wedding planner of Ceci. And Monique who was working in the same company with Ceci and now she is a Make Up Artist. LOL. That was some chain effects. When you make a decision, you never know what kind of future you will encounter, its full of surprises. So do not afraid when you make certain decision, just be positive about it. It all will worked out fine.

"Love You Forever" - Khai & Stephanie Garden Wedding Day in Carcosa

This is one of the funniest wedding I have ever did. Love the theme and the crowd for this wedding and Khai and Stephanie had been waiting for a long time for this special day. Also just want to compliment that I love the favors designed by Tie The Knot, it fits to the theme of the day very well, everyone dressed like having a garden event. And with Jeff the amazing wedding planner, also the funniest wedding planner. With all the laughing people around, the day is just awesome and I did not feel lonely there lol. I know Khai and Stephanie a while ago from another wedding event of Gregg & Jeamie, and they are all buddies in a Salsa dancing class. And get to meet the popular Audrey who had became famous after her proposal. The slideshow was displayed during their wedding dinner during the next day and many people had dropped their tears. I just feel glad that I am able to touch some souls each time. 

The most memorable part was when Khai and Stephanie shared their vows, and Stephanie mentioned the word "love you forever" and I think she really meant it... :)
