This couple shoot took place at an industrial container yard, starting in an open field at sunset. The couple was a bit shy at first, as they didn’t take photos often, so we began with some light-hearted fun, like bubble guns and casual strolls. As they warmed up and grew more comfortable, we moved to a secluded industrial spot for a heartfelt letter reading under twilight skies. As night fell, the glow of hurricane lamps illuminated their handwritten letters. To end the shoot, we embraced the fading light and experimented with artistic lighting—my latest creative approach to prewedding shoots. It was an incredibly fun session, where I found myself in the flow, fully enjoying the process.
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.
After a short shoot in our studio, we went to an industrial rooftop, free from the hustle and crowd of stressful city life. This was an opportunity for both of them to spend time together while I created some candid portraits to document their present moment. In the final moments before sunset, we witnessed one of the most magnificent sunsets. As the sun touched the horizon and everything turned to twilight, they read handwritten letters to each other. I remember hearing them reflect on their relationship, the past, how they helped each other grow through their teenage years, and shared words of gratitude. I’m very grateful to have had the opportunity to witness and document these meaningful images, knowing they will keep them for a lifetime at home.
We wanted to try something out of the norm, different from the usual portraits taken in a bridal studio. The portraits in this gallery are inspired by movie scenes and ideas from our research and experimentations. Hope you enjoy these pieces of work as much as we do
Exploring “Portals into the unmanifested” with Shawn & Xin Ling. The place is so silent, just 3 of us the entire time. We were intensely present in the moment, no time for the past and future to enter our minds. Because letting our minds drift into time may mean getting chased by dogs or possibly zombies hidden in the dark quarters. While not everyone will like abandoned places like this, there is a pool of people who love exploration as much as I do.. in spite of feeling fear, we do it anyway, for the thrill and excitement.
Wild journey through Singapore’s uncharted lands – it’s like diving into the heart of the Amazon Forest! 🌿Along the way, we stumbled upon a hidden canal that is covered with water most of the time, and an eerie abandoned tree house that seems out of a kampong movie.
Despite the moody, rain-soaked skies that accompanied us for much of our adventure, we were blessed with a golden ray of sunlight just before dawn. ☀️ The universe sure knows how to paint the sky with magic when you least expect it!
