Photographing creatives has always been a priviledge and honour, and it was a great joy to be photographing J + C in this simple yet joyful ceremony at church and subsequently outdoor lunch. Even more so when it is so colourfully spruced up! Let’s not talk about the challenging heat we had to deal with for the 3-4 hours outdoors LOL.

Weddings come in small and big packages, and this wedding was one that came in all sorts of packages. With how intimate a wedding it is, and how big the hearts of the couple Natasha and Darryl, I would genuinely dare say that I have one of the best jobs in the world. Couple that with a first, photographing at the beautiful Living Hope Methodist Church, and also one of our favourite venues in Singapore, Min Jiang Dempsey, it was a perfect day.

Always great to be working with partners such as Sloth Creatives and Sub Rosa Studio, which usually means aesthetically please wedding photos should be in the works, because of the impeccable choices made by the couple. Of course, the main point is to document the day, even when we hit blips like an electrical outage (a first for me!) early in the morning at the bride’s.

2025 so far has been nothing short of amazing. We had a few micro-weddings to start the year and it has been non-stop wonderfully nice couples since. With Valerie and Jerome, they really did not want anything to do with traditions at their wedding. Besides doing away with march-ins, they also had a short 5 minutes speech to thank everyone for coming, without the fanfare of lucky draws and bingo games. It made me reflect on how much they made the wedding their own, and having all the time in the world to speak with the ones that attended the celebration, and mattered.

Marklin: “I love a good gatecrash”. And that was what probably summarised the entire wedding in a nutshell. Again, whenever I am photographing fellow wedding industry friend’s wedding, I would be lying if I said there was no additional pressure / stress. Marklin is also an established wedding photographer but to be honest, I went into the wedding not treating it any other different from how I would usually photograph a wedding. The key difference is everyone else knows what you are doing and can also do your job lol.

Outside of the additional stress, it was a super gathering of sorts as I know most of the guests and vendors hired for the day. And you would know it would be a blast on top of the impeccable choices made by the couple from the gown/suit selection to the venue.

Let me introduce you the the wedding / holy matrimony of one of the wackiest couples I have ever photographed. It was utter chaos as we let out our grooves from our bottles and it felt as if I had knew them to years. From the get go, I knew I was in a special place, photographing a special wedding.
