I met Jon years ago during a model agency shoot, shortly after I moved into my current studio. Fast forward a few years, and now he’s engaged, and it’s time for their couple shoot. Wanting to do something different, I took them to an incredible wide canal in Singapore with gentle slopes. We spent time exploring, amazed by the sheer size of the water passageways that drain rainwater into the open sea. Toward the end of our shoot, we had a heartfelt letter-reading session, and Amy unexpectedly broke into tears, touched by how far they’ve come together. I remember that at the start of the shoot, Amy was really tense, not used to being photographed. But I’m glad they both eventually relaxed and let their emotions flow, even though I was a stranger to her, meeting for the first time that day. All in all, I’m very grateful for the opportunity to be part of their love journey. Moments like these recharge my passion and remind me of my mission as a wedding photographer: to help couples feel at ease and show their true personalities so I can capture them as they are.
