Photo walk with wedding friends!

24 Aug

What happened was, Ryan, a fellow wedding photographer casually asked if we should find some wedding photographers and videographers to go on a street shoot together.

So I asked on a Instagram post to see if anyone wanted to join us if we had arranged.

Eventually, the photo walk that was supposedly a smaller scale one, quickly escalated to a bigger one that I had to scramble to seek help in finding a space to house everyone lol. It seemed like the wedding scene peeps has been waiting for a moment like this, to meet and chat with industry vendors but never had the opportunity.

Until I innocently asked one day.

Ryan here, scratching head, not knowing what he had gotten himself into

YY and Bora (Always Sunday) reached out to their contact at Chye Seng Huat coffeeshop for a space, as well as Amber (Yume Patisserie), also offering a space at her shop. It was truly heartwarming to see peeps wanting to make this happen and didn’t mind helping out.

But enough of that, here are some shennanigans that I captured of that day.

A quick pit-stop at Yume Patisserie.

Getting to meet new and old faces (a lot of faces) under the scorching sun, was a whole lot of fun.

I was actually plenty surprised to see the amount of Fujifilm X100 , both V and Fs. Also an X-T5 was spotted. A couple of Ricoh GRs. The rest? Sonys haha. A Leica joined us later too hahaha. You can get rich photographing weddings LOL.

If you had read my previous post on how I shoot on the streets, I went all out on this one. Because of the bright outdoorsy sun, I shot with shadow and light, colours, fooled around with layering and stuff. It was absolutely mindblowing fun.

What made it the most fun for me, was to put faces to the IG accounts I have been chatting with. It was an amazing experience within the 3 or 4 short hours we had.

Would I do it again?

Yes of course I would join in for a photo walk / chat session.

Would I want to organise one again?

Probably not lol.
