a wedding day can get messy. We get it. The Thing is, we want to document your wedding, the way it is.

We embrace the messiness of it all. As much as possible, we want to photograph the wedding day as it is. Yes, we might come in occasionally to advise and to provide clarity, but the most authentic of images usually invoke the strongest of memories. Time capsules, we call them.

ACTUAL DAY WEDDINGS / SOLEMNISATIONS

Our purpose is to document the day as raw as it can be. There will be less scripting but more capturing of the wedding’s little moments, as mundane or as exciting as it is. That is what makes your wedding, truly yours.

The images we produce are not going to win awards probably, but if you are looking for someone to document down and story-tell (with creative input of course) the genuine, honest progression of your wedding day, however, it may turn out to be, then look no further.

PRE-WEDDINGS ON FILM

For the brave and the adventurous, this is the quintessential Bottled Groove experience. Experience the bustling heart of this city we call home as we walk, talk, roam and explore every nook and cranny Singapore has to offer. We could end up anywhere, from rustic staircases and cafes, quiet alleyways, busy traffic junctions, HDBs or even end up in an old provision shop.

Warning: this is only for the young and the young at heart.

PRE-WEDDING / CASUAL SESSIONS

Our pre-wedding sessions can range from extremely goofy and fun, to moody, artistic, and directive. It highly depends on your personalities!

If you are not having fun, then we are doing it wrong. Do not worry about being awkward, you are not models and neither are we! Just, let the groove out from your bottles and we will handle the rest.

FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY SESSIONS

The way we conduct family photography sessions are more of documenting down the “a day in the life”.

Ideally, we want parents to remember how messy and disorganised it can be, bringing up children and yet find beauty/joy in it.

We believe these memories would be more valuable in the future, to remind one that parenting is a challenge and not always rainbows and butterflies.

“We fell in love with Eugene’s true photo-journalistic style in which the emotions of photos flow naturally. Most, if not all of his photos strike a great balance between being aesthetically pleasing and emotionally rich.”
— Lena + Ignacio
“Life is not always the picture-perfect glamour party it professes to be - and we like it that way. Many things can be beautiful when we roll with the punches, as with many in-between moments - Bottled Groove captures this masterfully.”
— Ningfei + Elizabeth
“Among the best decisions, I made on the wedding”
— Xinfang + Mingxian

Wait what, it’s the end of 2023 ALREADY? I remember when I was first gathering the team, to discuss our achievements and “to-dos” early this year, and wondering if it was going to be another wonderful, yet challenging year. Then, I
Celebrating D + X, - it felt like another 'homecoming' of sorts, with familiar faces and an all too familiar venue. Speaking of familiar, I felt that I have probably seen the greatest number of graduated couples this year. Some of them were referral

K + C’s pre-wedding session… Nothing too over the top. Nothing too overly dramatic. Nothing too overly uncomfortable. The choice of venue, is selected based on where they love hanging out and spending quality time exercising togethe
In ten images, could you show what makes your wedding, uniquely yours? People are different. They react differently to situations. Coupled with distinct venues, and situations, I would say weddings are almost never the same, even when wedding planne
What is documentary, in wedding photography terms, and why is the term used so commonly these days? In the words of @kevinmullinsphotography , a wedding photographer based in the UK (also a former Fujifilm ambassador) that I admire since I started o
These two beautiful people celebrate their union today. As beautiful as the idea of involving all things they love for their pre-wed session on film. Basketball - yes. Mahjong session in the open field - yes. Buying 4D - yes. Getting coffee - yes.
