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.
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.
During the Hari Raya holidays, a group of friends and I went away for a short trip to Bali. You can probably recognize some of these faces as I’ve blogged about a number of their weddings here on this blog! I am glad to have found such great friends such as these who are there to do every silly thing together with you. One of the things I suggested: A portrait shoot during our holiday! Since they LURRRVE to be photographed, everyone pretty much agreed to it! We even decided to colour coordinate our clothes.
This is my 2nd trip to Bali, and I hope that it won’t be the last one. I plan to go back one day for a pre-wedding shoot there some time. I have identified some really cool places to visit, and also made contacts with local Balinese there, so hopefully next year, I’ll be able to organize a pre-wedding shoot there. If you are interested in this idea, do leave a message here! In fact, the Wedding Story team would gladly fly to any part of the world to shoot your wedding. This year, we’ve had the privilege of shooting in Bangladesh and Holland.
Would like to share with you some of the many photos we took! Here’s my husband Alex and myself.
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!
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)
After the tea ceremony, we proceeded to a friend’s home to take some photos in their home.
And what a lovely home it is!!
