Over the years, I have collected a series of ring shots from various weddings & engagements that I have shot. As with every wedding, each ring has a story to tell. At each wedding, I try to think of how to shoot the rings differently. I have a whole set of video shots of rings too, which I might share in the future. That is even more funky and creative because you get to play with motion! Hope you’ll enjoy this collection and do share which one is your personal favourite!

View part 1 of the wedding.
While the rest of the guests were getting ready for the dinner reception, the bridal party together with Mo and Greta were out on the beach having some fun!
Johan took this shot below while I was shooting from another angle…
Mo wanted a shot of Greta in her veil, so we quickly hooked it on, and got this shot… I love the detail on her veil!
A lot of things in this wedding are themed red. Like the tables and chairs in this ballroom.
And so, it only made sense to take the ring shots against something red!
The cake at the dinner reception varies in colour depending on the lighting at that time.
I can’t help photographing kids. They have this look that demands to be photographed!
Find the official photographer. Hehe…
Not only were the speeches good, the dancing was pretty awesome too!
Johan took this cool dancing shot (below) with off camera flash. It was really dark while the dancing was happening, so we utilized flash, video light, and high ISO on the cameras! Thank God for 6400 ISO setting on my 5D Mark2. :)
I had a great time at your wedding, Mo & Greta. Thanks for your confidence in my team even though you only met me on your wedding day for the first time! Wishing you years and years of happiness together!

Months ago, I received an enquiry from Greta, who resides in the UK. We exchanged a couple of emails, and then she booked us to cover her wedding. I met Greta for the first time on her wedding day, but the moment I started talking to her, it felt as if we have known each other for months. She is really bubbly and fun, and I found out that she used to go to the same primary school as I did, in Malacca! The similarities end there, however… since I don’t have a black belt in martial arts, as Greta does!
Mohit is more subdued, but he enjoys things like climbing mountains and diving. Their family and friends flew from UK, Australia and many other parts of the world to be in Penang for their wedding ceremony.
Greta’s wedding dress is really unique. I love the detail on her gown.
And her wedding invite is superb too! Red is one of my favourite colours.
And of course, Greta looks really amazing!
Of course, Mohit looks pretty good himself!
The gorgeous bridal party.
I loooove garden & beach weddings. The garden at Rasa Sayang Resort combines the best of both worlds – you can have a garden ceremony and portraits by the beach!

After the wedding & tea ceremony ended, we had to take some photos around Four Seasons Resort. After all, it is a beautiful location! I love this feature wall.
And this funky stone wall…
I love this orange Mediterranean wall as well.
Look at the detailing in this gown. Lovely gown from That Special Occasion.
In the evening, we set off sail on a yacht to see the sunset, and for a grand entrance to the dinner reception area!
While we were out at sea, the dinner location, Tapaz, was being decorated. I love the look of the cake!
And then just before it got too dark, Mong Ling & Hai Liang appeared at the harbour on the yacht.
There were lots of dancing and partying that night.

The speeches by friends and family were really funny and revealing!
Thanks, Mong Ling & Hai Liang, for making our shoot so fun and memorable. You have treated us like family and are really welcoming. We appreciate that.

Her laughter is so contagious, you can’t help but laugh along with her. It’s obvious that they have a deep love for each other. And a sense of adventure! After all, they decided to get married in Langkawi, at the beach in noonday sun, tea ceremony on a swing, and make a grand entrance to their dinner location by yacht. It was definitely a wedding to remember.
Langkawi is quickly becoming one of my favourite places to shoot in Malaysia. Not only does it have beautiful beaches, but it has lots of lovely paddy fields and quaint ‘kampung‘ or village houses all over the island. This was my first shoot at Four Seasons, and the moment I laid eyes on the place, I fell in love with it. The beaches were absolutely white.
I found it so hard to choose which photos to show here on the blog. Here are some of my personal favourites.
When Hai Liang came to pick up Mong Ling from Sheraton Langkawi Beach Resort, he was in for a surprise!
This is the beautiful location they chose to say their vows to each other…
I love the pink and blue combination.
Mong Ling appeared in a wedding buggy! How cool is that!
After some formal family portraits, the tea ceremony was conducted under the shade.
To be continued with portraits of Mong Ling & Hai Liang, and also the dinner reception!
