This one kinda wins “wedding of the year” for me. Everything was beautiful by default on the day. The bride, the setting (capella villa), the car and etc. Since Terence is a well-known arts person and he’s Ruey Loon’s friend. We spent some good time talking about style and video and how he would like his day to be documented, and its definitely not the usual kind of express highlights we usually would do but it’s always fun trying out and exploring!

So here it is:

As previously mentioned there are many benefits of using the 5dmII so one of which is I am able to sneakily shoot some photos during a wedding! This one is a candid of Ruey Loon chatting with Hossan Leong!

Have been swarmed by weddings and other filming sessions these few months, therefore the lack of updates! In recent shoots, I often have been mistaken as a photographer and had to explain that I’m actually using a DSLR as a video camera. So yes, we upgraded to the 5dmii, for those of you wondering how it looks here’s a picture:

Yes, its a DSLR but it shoots video in HD and I get to change the lens! How cool is that. I remember one incident after filming an entire event, my client came up to me and asked if I took thousands and thousands of photo to later string it into a video. Er, not, I would have to edit like a mad woman if I did! So anyway if you see me at a wedding, filming with a DSLR, be surprise not, I’m actually taking videos!

For now, maybe I’ll just ask Ruey Loon to print me a tee-shirt that says “I’m a videographer not a photographer” in 4 different languages to escape from being asked to take group photos all the time!

For now I’m loving the 5dmii because of the resolution (HD), ability to capture until low lighting and interchangeable lens and whole lot of benefits to list.
If you wanna see more weddings shot in 5dmii, feel free to contact us!

Oh oh, btw this is me and the 5dmii. Apparently I saw a stuff deer during a break and was fairly intrigued and disturbed at the same time.

It’s been sometime I had to wake up at 4am for a wedding! and today Alvin & Ceres wedding was definately worth waking up for!

and as usual, shall post up some pictures while waiting for the tapes to load. Hoping to do a great express highlights today!

Everything started out from four seasons hotel.

Lawrence taking a shot!

This is Fifi, extremely cute name!

Lawrence’s side job? He’s helping out the men with their tie!

This kiddo is super cute and active. She’s has been exploring everything single thing in the room!

I say.. the dress must be matching somehow.

Last one before we rush to the church!

Ok this is my 1st time at Church of the sacred heart, have always passed by but never got in.

Excited parents.

hmm.

As usual, everyone crowding around just to take a shot of the couple!

ok, shall finish my highlights and get ready for the banquet tonight!

Another fabulous wedding.

It’s split day, totally forgot to bring my lumix on the 1st day so i didnt have any shots of the 1st day’s wedding. Nevertheless on the next day, the banquet was held at Goodwood Park hotel and it was definately an enjoyable wedding. The guest came from all places around the world and therefore mid-way during the banquet everyone just stood up and start to mingle around which was cool because traditionally sometimes guests just sit on their own sit and conform to their own tables for the whole 4 hours? Not for this case!

It’s pretty cool because Ruey Loon did their pre-wedding in beijing and when the pictures are up, the guest were “oohing” and “aahing”. 2 thumbs up! definately a plus plus to the atmosphere of the banquet.

Anyway, some pictures of the banquet.

Both of them at the reception. Chatting up?

Reception catching up with some guest. By the way, the reception area was really crampy, good thing i aint that big size.

Best Man speech, this lasted for.. say.. almost half an hour? and yes I’ve got like almost 30mins of footage for their bestman speeches, maybe i should say.. bestmen?

and then Suan Jin & Rachel’s speech.

This is Ruey Loon and his new hairstyle.. he’s releasing the ‘strategy’ for the brothers to help organise table-table shots.

Ok that’s all until Ruey Loon post his pictures of their wedding!
