Family Portraits: Jordan + Tammy + 2

It’s amazing to think that Tammy and I met close to 30 years ago when we were in kindergarten. And now she has her own daughter Jaelyn who will be going to kindergarten soon-ish as well! What a circle it has been. I am so glad that I was there to photograph Tammy and Jordan’s wedding in 2008 and also her maternity portraits in 2010… and now, their little family! Am really happy that my photography skills have grown through the years together with their little family. They were one of my earliest clients when I started out in the wedding industry years ago in 2007.

Tammy and Jordan, I love seeing our kids together… I hope that Jaelyn, Jenson, Krysta and all our friend’s kids will grow up enjoying each other’s company as much as we have enjoyed friendships with our group of friends throughout the years. As we grow older, let’s take some time to really smell the roses, and spend time with our families…that’s what matters most.

Pink Church Wedding: Edrian & Stella

20130713_WEDDING_EDRIAN_STELLA_0726

“Today is the day You have made, I will rejoice and be glad in it…”

Edrian first met Stella at his sister’s wedding. It felt like a matchmaking party because somehow, everyone were just trying to matchmake them. Stellajane was still in medical school and he was working with no proper direction in life. So Edrian kept shying away and avoiding any contact with Stella. This was way back in 2008.

But the heavens had other plans.

One Christmas in 2011, Edrian decided to drop her a message online, somehow hoping she won’t reply. But after few days, one reply came, which led to another and another. Soon they were all set for their first date – playing captain ball! (rather untraditional!)

Edrian says…

She jumped so high and right into my heart.  I just had to see her again and again. And slowly before I knew it, I proposed to her in the most romantic way I thought possible. I decided to sing and play the guitar..song by KC and Jojo ‘- All My Life. Did I mention that I never sing!? Well must have done something right because she said yes!

All my stars aligned when the right one popped up!

About the wedding…every minute of it was so intense. Continue Reading

Wedding of Zach & Linda

Zach and Linda first made an appearance on our blog a few months ago when we took their pre-wedding photos in KL. Well, this time round, they are back from Australia again… for their Chinese wedding banquet. Ben and Weiming were there to capture all the key moments of the day. So much fun and laughter at this wedding, even though I wasn’t there to witness it, I could see that everyone had heaps of fun, including the grandmothers!

Congratulations Zach and Linda! Wishing you many years of joyful wedded bliss!

Zach and Linda’s Story

I first saw Zach’s name on a sheet of paper on my boss’ desk, I suspected that he was the new guy who’d just been hired. Having been a star performer at work, I worried that this new colleague would be a rival. My first impression of him after he started work was that he felt like a little kid…..

We were eventually tasked to work together and our feelings for each other developed quickly in a short period of time. We discovered that we had attended the same kindergarden together, and that our secondary schools were situated opposite each other’s’ and that we’d attended the same college and eventually the same university in Canberra as well. I also recalled that I’d once been introduced to Zach while at University, but that I’d dismissed him because he had long hair! Finally, fate decided that it was time for us to meet at work, and we’ve been together ever since.

Zach is a very sweet boyfriend, he always buys me big bouquets of roses, writes me poems and he takes very good care of me. I feel very blessed to have him as my life partner.

Together, we love travelling and enjoy the occasional fine dining in Sydney with our friends. Although many find Canberra a boring city, we appreciate the clean fresh air in this well planned city as well as the freedom of driving on traffic jam-free roads. :)

Wedding Video Highlight: Ching Siang & Stephanie

They see each other as opposites, but with differences that naturally complement each other. Stephanie laughs a lot and is really expressive. Ching Siang on the other hand, claims to have lips that are way too small which means that he can’t laugh as loudly as Stephanie. He’s a perfectionist, a thinker… but… someone who is always late (which irritates Stephanie who’s a really punctual person). Good thing for Ching Siang – he was on time on his wedding day!

Their story began while they were in primary school… they were classmates for 6 years and she being the basketball team player… soon caught Ching Siang’s attention. He was an unknown geeky guy sitting in the corner in class (with big fat glasses too!), just noticing her from afar. Years later, they met again in Melbourne, and that’s when they began to get to know each other a lot better.

The proposal happened on top of a hot air balloon overlooking the city of Melbourne witnessed by a basketful of strangers. It was successful, because within a second of his proposal, she nodded enthusiastically!

Ching Siang and Stephanie, thank you for giving us the opportunity to record your story! :)
