ray & siv: engagement


Like many wedding/portrait photographers out there, I started my career by practicing on friends. Ray & Siv were the second couple that I did an engagement-like session for. Two years later, they're getting married and we had a real engagement shoot =)

Ray & Siv met at their dragon boat racing club so I knew straight away that their e-session has to involve some kind of rowing. This was a rather difficult shoot. Why? Because this silly goose shot on a boat instead of on land. Yup. Ray & Siv were in a boat and Eric and I were in another one. Trying to get the shots involved directing Ray & Siv as well as yelling at Eric to get our boat in certain position. It was not easy I tells you. At least Ray & Siv like the photos so I say it was worth the effort!











One of my fav from the boat shots. It made the cover of their guestbook.

















Another favourite.




















Splashing in the water. She got him good with that one!





















These two are still every bit in love as much as they were when I first photographed them. Happy ever after guys =)

anna & chris: wedding


A lot of smiles and a lot of love - that's what I remember from this wedding. I don't just mean the love between Chris and Anna but the love all their family and friends have for them.

It was a cloudy day but their ceremony was protected against the threat of rain under the roof of St Alban's Anglican Church. The location shoot aferwards, however, got rained on...a lot. While the usual bride might fret and worry that her dress and hair might get ruined, Anna (as well as Chris and the rest of the bridal party) was in nothing short of good spirit. They were just so happy that no amount of rain could ever...umm...rain on their parade (sorry if that was lame...I'm not a writer!)

I think Chris was so nervous that morning. He hardly cracked a smile until this moment when his mum was pinning the buttonhole for him.





Anna's dad just walked into the room to see his daughter in her white dress.





Love the flowers/headband in her hair =)

















Isn't she gorgeous? =)





This capture is by my 2nd shooter, Paul.





A picture is worth a thousand words - an emotional Chris here.








He is completely mesmerized heheh.
































BTW I love this simple but stunning bouquet. I'm a big fan of David Austin roses!











This passionate and romantic shot is one of my fav.








After the garden, we headed to Narrabeen beach. It was cold, raining and windy. It's the first time that I've had to do location shoot in the rain and there was nowhere to hide. These umbrella images turned out to be my favs from the wedding. Never fear rain again as long as you got some white umbrellas I reckon! First two shots by Paul.

BTW I was really nervous walking along the opposite side of the pool. I was looking at the gear I had on me and then all that water...scary thought.





























This is what I'm talking about. Who cares about the rain? Anna and the girls were just having a blast. She was so hilarious with all her high fashion model moves haha =)














Looking at the below photo, you wouldn't know it but let me tell you that it was freezing! Thank you so much Anna and Chris for enduring the weather so we could get extra shots.





Another one of my fav, captured just as Chris and Anna were hurrying off to their reception at the Narrabeen Function Room.

















I know it's been a long post but here's the last one - the happy in love couple =)





Now turn the speakers on and check out the slideshow. It'll probably take a little while to load, I had to use two songs this time!
