OUR MOTTO
Weddings are not meant to be perfect. We should try to always ‘embrace the messiness’ of the wedding day and relive the moments through the photographs and videos that we seek to capture for you.
About us
Bottled Groove Photography started as a husband-and-wife team in 2016, and officially registered as a company in 2019.
Eugene, the lead photographer, first picked up photography when he was based in Bangkok for two years. He has since been actively involved in event photography and primarily weddings for the past seven years. Recently, he has revisited film photography and is currently implementing it in his wedding work. Erin works primarily behind the scenes and is the spine of the company.
In 2020 and 2022, Levin and Dexter joined the team respectively, followed by Elle in 2024.
Bottled Groove Photography's focus is to document your wedding day, so that you may invoke precious memories and retell your story a decade or two in the future to your loved ones. They believe that everyone should embrace the messiness of a wedding day, as raw as they come.
And yes, photographs are time machines.
our style
Our purpose is to document the day as raw as it can be. There will be less scripting but more capturing of the day’s little moments, as mundane or as exciting as it is. That is what makes your wedding, truly yours.
If you are looking for someone to photograph over-scripted moments and capture plenty of beautiful photographs with bokeh (blurred-out background), thus projecting a beautiful front for your wedding, then maybe we’re not the right fit.
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.
the SPINE
Erin wishes she was a photographer, but trust us, she is better as a florist. She can finish five cups of coffee a day and still feel sleepy.
Primarily, Erin will be the one handling your contracts and also dish out advice for your wedding planning if you need it. After all, she planned her own meticulously and lived to tell the tale.
photographers
Eugene (Lead Photographer) loves his coffee in the morning and is also slightly mad in the head. If he’s not editing or out photographing, you can find him at home chilling, on his PC & console games, watching Leeds United matches (a fanatic) and loves spending time with the family.
Eugene’s images are thoughtfully composed, blending a documentary style with creative and sometimes experimental techniques. His approach is not just about documenting events, but crafting a visual experience that resonates emotionally with viewers.

Dexter (Associate Photographer ) loves listening to Taylor Swift and is a self-proclaimed big chubby man child that still laughs at immature jokes. He is also an avid collector - buying every new Pokemon game available but never playing it.
Dexter’s visuals has a vibrant, eclectic style that mixes light and shadow with bold and dynamic compositions. With thoughtful yet sometimes unconventional framing, there is a strong emphasis on visual storytelling that resonates with a wide audience.

Levin (Associate Photographer) dabbles in all kinds of photography (well, except boudoir - if not his wife will not let him return home). He has over ten years of photography experience but his passion remains strong. When he is not out photographing, he can be usually be seen cycling around the Punggol estate with his family.
Levin’s work is elegant and understated, with each image carefully curated with intent. His style exudes a sense of timelessness and quiet sophistication, making it engaging and aesthetically compelling.

Elle (pronounced Elly) (Junior Photographer ) would usually be found hunting for delicious food that comes at good value, especially in hawkers. Due to her height and all black attire, couples have commented that she passes off as a ‘Kunoichi’, lurking in the shadows.
Elle’s style focuses on capturing little details with a soft and romantic touch. Blending creativity and authenticity, her work often emphasizes natural light and candid expressions, creating a heartfelt narrative.
