You would think that I would be sick and tired of ECP / East Coast Park by now, but I am not. Besides being a cracking place to photograph at, it also stretches for kilometers that there is always some spot to discover. What is better than a cracking spot to shoot at?

A super couple to compliment the place of shoot (of course the impeccable weather helped). From drawing random sand art (ok la not random cause groom B is a massive Batman fan), to fooling around at every turn - it was a memorable pre-wed shoot for me as well.

G + B were amazing throughout the sess and definitely made their pre-wedding, their own.

Had so much fun running around the far west with JM and RK - they even brought me to the skating rink at JCube for my first time (and last if you've read the news).

I think I can count with both hands the amount of times I've been to Jurong, outside of reservist that is lol. But the possibility of just walking around and spotting places to shoot at excited me thoroughly.

Any westies here?

Another great session with no frills - just drop into a location of choice and walk around. All we needed were general directions, great vibes and perfect weather haha.

It is always very refreshing yet challengingly fun to photograph a fellow creative. In this case, Ron. He is a very popular photographer that focuses on architecture and has a strong following on IG. When he approached me to photograph his pre-wed - I was pleasantly surprised and also humbled. Especially more so when he gave me his complete trust during the session and joined in in all the supposedly crazy suggestions I had!

Our pre-wed sessions are, to quote Forrest Gump, 'a box of chocolates, you'll never know what you are going to get'.

Frankly, it is because everyone is different, and how they'll react to certain situations, are different. All I can promise you is that I'll try to photograph your vibes as a couple.

Imaginary interviewer: could you, summarise your pre-wed sessions for me?

Me: a lot of laughing, a lot of weird vibing and experimentation, definitely tiring and probably a lot of fun for the couple.

Also me in my head: this is what happens when you can't think of anything to write T_T

Anyways, here’s Faith and TIm from their pre-wed session!

Finally, a chance to photograph at the popular cinema theater The Projector, located within the Golden Mile Tower building. And more appropiate to the occasion, Emily and Zhen Ming are movie connoisseurs that selected ‘Before Sunrise’ as their go-to film to be screened as the backdrop.

The more I photograph on film, the more I realise I am forever trying to tweak my digital files like film. As much as I try, there is always something unique and different about photographing in film format. I can never do it - replicating film on digital. I have watched countless YouTube editing videos and paid for a thousand presets (okay that's an exaggeration) that proclaim that their edits are like film but you know what I mean. There's that margin of error that results in a flaw - a beautiful flaw.

Just when I thought my opportunity to shoot at the popular Pasir Panjang Power Station was over, along came C + J who gave me the chance. It’s rather expensive to book the spot these days after 24Owls took over the premise from the Land Authority. And the company has since populated the once secluded and awesome spot with a lot of events stuff. We made the best of what we had though!
