Sean + Carol, Thean Hou Temple

Sean is one cool guy. He runs My Photo Shop in Sri Hartamas and is constantly thinking of new ideas to make his business relevant to clients and up to date. His service is really good, and not only that, he also loves to joke a lot! Then I met Carol, who is also from Malacca! I found out that she’s Nyonya, just like me. We’re a diminishing breed, I tell you!

Recently, Sean and Carol signed their marriage registration at Thean Hou Temple and I had the privilege of photographing the event. Congratulations, Sean & Carol!

Didn’t I tell you he is funny? He saw this little hole in the door and said, “I wanna sit inside!!”

A Sikh Wedding Experience

As promised, more photos from the Sikh wedding shoot. From 3000 photos shot over 3 days, it’s really hard to pick only a handful to showcase on the blog. So we’ve created a slideshow for you to view, which is right at the bottom of this post. I love this shot of Raj & Charan, there’s so much drama to it.

They can pass as movie stars! These 2 photos below were taken by Mark.

Leaving her family to join Raj’s family.

Sikh Wedding – Raj & Charan

On her wedding day, Charan looked absolutely stunning. I am amazed at the detail that went into her make up.

Two different looks… she’s very versatile.

While I was at Charan’s place, Mark was photographing Raj at his home.

The hall looks incredible. The light design on the ceiling looks very futuristic.

Albert & Michelle, Garden Wedding at Cyberview Lodge, Part2

In any outdoor wedding, there is some sort of anxiety about how the weather will turn out. Will it rain? Will it be too hot? Will there be a breeze? But for Albert & Michelle’s wedding, it was just… perfect. The sun was up, but it wasn’t scorching. Makes for lovely light!

The theme was purple, white and silver.

I love the way these rose petals sat in Albert & Michelle’s wedding invite.

Albert sang as Michelle walked down the aisle. So lovely!

Albert & Michelle, Garden wedding at Cyberview Lodge

Michelle probably planned her wedding years ago. While some couples are uncertain about where to start looking for reliable vendors, Michelle knows them all. And this is because she has planned many other weddings before. No, she’s not married multiple times – Michelle is one of the wedding planners in my church and she has helped countless couples in their wedding preparations.

She knew where to go for the best bargains, where to purchase unique wedding favours, and also scouted all the cool locations in town.

And so, there are lots of yummy details that went into their wedding. Photos by Grace & Ian Chong.

Lovely gown by That Special Occasion.

The cool heng tais…

The things they had to do!! Since Albert & Michelle are close friends of ours, my poor husband Alex had to be one of the heng tais as well! (he’s the one of the right)
