After photographing weddings at various venues across the years, be it grand hotel ballrooms, small intimate bars, cosy dimly lit restaurants, and even shophouses – I always find myself wanting to photograph more at Min Jiang at Dempsey. It still remains one of my favourites for short ROMs (marriage solemnisations) or actual day weddings, whether it is a lunch or dinner reception.

So, we have finally arrived in the month of August. August, in Singapore, is traditionally a lull month for wedding creatives because of the ‘Hungry Ghost Festival / 七月’. During this period, weddings are normally avoided because many Chinese believe that it is not a good month to hold auspicious activities.

A lot of times, my inspiration comes from the many films I watch. And it is not just about 'feels' of a certain film. It can get quite technical.

There's a reason why photographers select and switch between their wide-angle lens and their close-up telephoto lens. If you've got 2 minutes to digest what I am about to type, thank you .

I’ve recently had the opportunity to give my first impressions of an upcoming unreleased lens from Fujifilm, the 18mm f1.4 WR lens. A special thank you to the team at Fujifilm Singapore and Ivan for loaning me this unit to test it out - especially when I had a pre-wed session and an actual day wedding scheduled.
