Planning a wedding during the Covid pandemic can get tiresome after a while, especially if your plans keep changing due to the ever-evolving situation.

For Dionne and Wei Zhe, it was uphill from the start. What seemed to be a straightforward affair was met with a headwind, seemingly from nowhere. It has been a while since I met them in 2019, and it seemed like a whole eternity had gone by until we met again in 2021 hahaha. So glad and happy for them for their wedding day at Andaz Hotel Singapore to finally arrive, after their magical meeting at a random bus stop in Taipei, Taiwan.

For couples that are struggling, hang in there. It will eventually get better, however long it takes.

How optimistic are you, for 2021?

Reflecting on 2020 and starting 2021, it felt much like putting my dirty linen into the washing machine and letting it swirl and whirl around. Think about it, the clothes we needed to wear served their purpose, and now after washing it - we're going to go through the same motion of wearing the same clothes albeit for different purposes/functions.

Already 10 months into 2020 and I can't believe that so much as happened. This year has been especially interesting for me personally, because of the number of couples who have had family not being able to attend their wedding, a special day of celebration. It is heart-wrenching.

Tamarind Hill is pretty far away from where I live. But every time a couple lets me know that they will be holding their special engagement/wedding/solemnisation ceremony there, my eyes will light up hahaha.

Tucked away from the bustling cityscape, the lush garden setting was also the excellent venue choice of Ben and Kirsty's.

Iryna and Roger was the first couple I’ve photographed since the circuit breaker relaxed its restrictions during these trying times. They wanted a solemnisation to remember for years to come, especially in Singapore, where they are based for this period.

Nigel’s a staunch Manchester United supporter. Amanda’s a hardcore Liverpool fan. What happens when you date someone (and then marry) from your fierce rivals? Hilarity and of course, love beyond anything you can imagine. Really hit off with these two, especially when we started talking about football and my love, Leeds United. What a pair.

As always, it’s good to be back photographing their wedding at the magnificent Andaz Hotel.

An intimate letter exchange preceded the wedding affair, as family members and close friends soon joined us at the wedding,. held at Little Island Brewing Co, a chic, casual restaurant tucked away in the east end corner of Singapore. Erin tagged along to be the second photographer for this session for the first time, as we witnessed Eileen and Kevin's joyous, splendid occasion only meant to be attended by a few special loved ones.

Tucked away from the bustling cityscape is this magnificent lush of green outdoor wedding venue. Had the privilege of covering Vithricia and Vincenzo's wedding at Tamarind Hill and what a spectacle it was - romantic, beautiful, wild and free.
