Thom & Kiran's wedding

Its a blast covering Thom & Kiran's wedding on Saturday. Both me and Yonghow had an awesome time covering their wedding.

Well, i shall type less and show a small handful of the photos taken by both of us. :)

Getting ready...






I love the look of Thom's mom in this photo. Absolutely proud of her son. :)


At the reception...


Before the ceremony...


During the ceremony...




This is the moment when they exchange vows. I was touched by Kiran's love expression to Thom in this photo.




The signing of the papers...






And the toast...




This is Thom's childhood friend. They have made a pact when they were 7-8 yrs old to be each other wedding witness when they got married. 30 years later, it happened.




Since we have some time, we decided to have a portrait session.


The dance in-front of ACM


Before the wedding dinner starts...


At the wedding dinner, speeches were made, toasts were cheers, hearts were touched, souls were moved, moments were captured...

But first of all, an exciting performance by the bangla band




And they got a "i have no idea whats going on" Thom to join in the dance too.


Shortly after, the throwing of the flowers bouquet.


And she got it! I just love the expression of joy on her face.


Yummmmmm Seng!


And here are some more random photos for the evening...




Guest trying to get a part of the action...


The "Thank you" speech.


Their first dance...


Followed by dancemania


A moment caught my eye while the guest are dancing away in the ballroom. Its the touching moment of Kiran's grandmother hugging her and Kiran's mom hugging Thom.


Daughter-in-law and Father-in-law seeing eye to eye. :p


Last but not least, i got this pic of Yonghow shooting me shooting again. :p


Hope you guys enjoyed the photos!

Cheers!

Kiran's Henna

Had the honor of shooting Kiran's Henna a moment ago. Its an intimate session with a few friends and some nice food. Its kinda refreshing to shoot something different from chinese weddings once in a while.

Uncle Tey Yong How asked me to post some of the photos which i shot just now, and here they are. :)

Here's the painting of the Henna.


The groom's name is Thom.






Kiren's mum friend having a little dance after her turn at the painting.


The 2 moms together. I kinda like inter-cultural exchanges. :)


Yay, its done!




Their wedding will be held on this Sat and i am certainly looking forward to it.

Cheers!

Chee Meng and Huimin

Greetings everyone!

It's been a long while since I've posted more images. Much apologies for the slow update as I've been pretty bogged down by work and some personal commitments over the past weeks. It's still great to be able to meet many nice couples over the past weeks. Thank you so much for the encouragements that helped me go through this tough period positively! :)

Here's a small set of random morning images taken on Chee Meng and Huimin's wedding last month. Somehow I like their gate crash session with more intellectual games than physical ones though it's a little tougher to shoot with less action going on.

Congrats Chee Meng and Huimin. Hope your super long honeymoon is great!

Hope you'll like them as well. :)

Guessing the thumbprints...

While others were busy tackling the quiz...

A wrong answer results in a fatal kiss from a beloved pet

The key is in the ice

Have a good weekend!

Why groom shouldn't be forced to drink so much on the wedding day

Cause they will start to hug everyone around... in front of the bride.

Cheers!

This reminds me...

Thanks to Renzhi for this email.

Sometimes my wife even asked me if she can book me a week in advance to go shopping...for groceries. Though I'm very fortunate for have her to be so understanding of my workload lately, this email got me feeling guilty...


A small touching story mainly for professionals &
working people like us...

"Daddy, May I Please Borrow $10.00 ?"
A man came home from work late, tired and irritated,
to find his 5-year old son waiting for him at the
door.

SON: "Daddy, may I ask you a
question?"
DAD: "Yeah sure, what it is?" replied the man.
SON: "Daddy, how much do you make an hour?"
DAD: "That's none of your business. Why do you ask
such a thing?" the man said angrily.
SON: "I just want to know.. Please tell me, how
much do you make an hour?"
DAD: "If you must know, I make $20.00 an hour."
SON: "Oh," the little boy replied, with his head
down.
SON: "Daddy, may I please borrow
$10.00 ?"
The father was furious, "If the only reason you asked that is so you can
borrow some money to buy a
silly toy or some other nonsense, then you
march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you
are being so selfish. I work hard everyday for such this childish
behaviour."

The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door.
The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's
questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?
After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down,and started to think:
Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $10.00 and
he really didn't ask for money very often. The man went to the door of
the little boy's room and opened the door.

"Are you asleep, son?"
He asked.
"No daddy, I'm awake," replied the boy.
"I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier" said the man.
"It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here's the
$10.00 you asked
for."
The little boy sat straight up, smiling."Oh,thank you daddy!" He yelled.


Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills.
The man saw that the boy already had money, started to get angry again.
The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked up at his
father.
"Why do you want more money if you already have some?" the father
grumbled.
"Because I didn't have enough, but now I do," the little boy replied.

"Daddy, I have $20.00 now. Can I buy an hour of your time?
Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you."

The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little son, and he
begged for his forgiveness.

It's just a SHORT REMINDER to all of us working so hard in life. We should not let time slip through our fingers without having spent some time with those who really matter to us, those very close to our hearts.
Do remember to share that $20.00 worth of your time with someone you love.
If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily
replace us in a matter of days. But the family & friends we leave behind
will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come to think of it,
we pour ourselves more into work than to our family.



Hope this helps all couples reading this in some way.

Will also post some images soon.

Wishing everyone a great weekend! :)
