A beach Solemnization...

2009-08-10T00:53:00.003+08:00

Had a chance to shoot this beach solemnization ceremony last friday with my friend Derek. The groom, Kenneth, a chinese radio DJ, is a very nice guy who really knows how to take care of his photographerS. When I say 'photographerS', I really mean ALOT of photographers, there were around 7 of us, 5 whom I don't know, struggling for a space to capture our shots. Crazy day for me... but luckily, i'm still able to capture some decent shots. Here are some to share :]

Hong Hui & Serene - Bridal

2009-08-09T00:51:00.003+08:00

Did a bridal shoot for Hong Hui & Serene few weeks before. We all met early last year... After a few meet ups, they decided to entrust their Bridal and Actual Wedding day shoot in my hands.

As promised, here are some sneak peek of the shoot. Tiring day, but all worth while.

Samuel & Eunice

2009-07-25T03:12:00.004+08:00

Special venue (Raw Kitchen Bar)... good food... super nice couple... what more can i say? Let the pictures do the talking. :p

Louis & Maggie

2009-06-30T19:06:00.003+08:00

Had this chance to shoot the wedding of Louis & Maggie, Louis is my best friend's brother, and when he requested me to be his wedding photographer, I got really excited at the thought of being a wedding photographer + brother at the same time. Indeed, i was nearly made to wear the disposible panties and eat those gross stuffs!!! Lucky i know how to 'xiam'...

Im back!!!

2009-06-25T22:58:00.005+08:00

My apologies for being away for so long... Been working day and night on my new company identity and trying out some new editing style. Finally found time to update.

A very simple wedding held at Sentosa Resort & Spa. Tara & Mark booked the entire villa. It was a beautiful day, blessed with a little drizzle just before the ceremony. The food there was one of the best i've taste. Most importantly, Tara & Mark was such nice couple who kept thanking us for our hard work. But i really want them to know that being a part of their important day is really an honour, and all the hard work has been paid off.

Did i forget to mention that the toilet of the villa is bigger than my living room?

The girls having a good time by themselves.

Touched by Mark's wedding vow.

Out of Town

2009-06-14T01:03:00.003+08:00

Hey couples, I will be heading overseas today and will be back on 16th June, so please pardon me for any delay in replying your mails, keep them coming! Don't miss me!!!

Missing In Action!

2009-06-09T17:36:00.003+08:00

Hey peeps! Im so sorry for missing in action these few weeks, been busy doing what i love, shooting, editing, shooting and editing. Met with an accident (again) last few days, this time, it was the other party's fault. haha, other than that, Revival Production is seriously undergoing a major revamp, so please stay tuned!

Studio

2009-05-24T23:52:00.002+08:00

I seldom do studio Pre-Wedding shoots, but recently in January... Ok, not so recently, i had a chance to do some studio portrait for a very very nice couple, Shu Jian and Tiffany.

JR & Joanne

2009-05-23T00:38:00.002+08:00

Just reached home from JR & Joanne's wedding, its quite a good experience i must say, travelling to Johor Barhu (i haven't been to Malaysia for a very long time)
Did an express highlights for them, and here are some of the photos to share!

This pic is inspired by a photo i saw somewhere in Facebook.

My new Work Loft

2009-05-20T00:49:00.003+08:00

Hi, as some of you might know, I've moved into a new space with Bryan Jean Photography and More to Purple. Its located at 32A Bali Lane, nicely done up, awaiting you guys to pay me a visit! Heres a little sneak peek at the very cosy living area, and my little work loft...

Check out my director's chair!!!

I'll post some pics of the exterior soon, so that you can easily spot the place.

Can't Wait

2009-05-11T22:38:00.004+08:00

Okay, I can't wait to share with you guys, the wedding of Alan & Violet. Enjoyed myself yesterday... Here are some photos of the morning session.

Alive!

2009-05-11T21:52:00.002+08:00

Im sorry for the inactivity for the past few weeks, May is here, and my life is filled with weddings once again! It really makes me feels ALIVE again! I was a part of a very happening wedding of Alan & Violet yesterday, held at Rasa Sentosa. I cant wait to show all of you the photos, I promise to post it up once i get them done!

In the meantime, let us take a look at some of the photos of Ken & Joey's wedding banquet held at My Humble House.

One more week to a hectic month.

2009-04-21T23:34:00.002+08:00

Time really files, I only have one more week to rest. But frankly speaking, I really look forward for the month of May, because I have a couple of exciting weddings coming up... And i really really miss shooting!

Nothing beats the feeling of shooting and enjoying a wedding.

Here are some reflection pics to share.

And a really excited emcee...

Happy Grandmas

2009-04-13T00:33:00.002+08:00

Yesterday, went to the columbarium to make offerings to my late grandmother, felt sad that i can no longer have a chance to watch tv with her, or to buy her favourite food for her.
Went home,saw these photos, and i actually cheered up. I feel that couples whom have grandma or grandfather around should really cherish each and every moment with them. the chinese saying, 家有一老,如有一宝 is never wrong.

Quiet Month

2009-04-08T22:11:00.002+08:00

April is a quiet month for weddings. But not really a quiet month for me here at Revival. Im real busy setting up the work space, almost set, now waiting for my canvas prints to be up. Will share with all of you some pictures of the nice and cozy place soon! Cant wait to meet my 1st couple there!

Im also selecting a new batch of photos to be updated on my website. Feeling real bad not to update it for so long.

Anyway, here are some pics from a past wedding to share.

Revamp...

2009-03-31T01:14:00.002+08:00

Revival Production is undergoing major revamping. I am currently working on a new work space located at 32A Bali Lane. Couples please take note, coz from next week onwards, i will be meeting you there! Other then the new work space, I will be revamping my brand and updating my website very very soon! So please stay tune for a new look and more photos!!!

Peace

I thought this week's suppose to be very free...

2009-03-25T03:12:00.003+08:00

I really thought that this week is a very free week for me, i even went borrowing, renting, buying DVDs to kill time. I am wrong! This week is one of the busiest week i ever had, editing tons of photos, meeting clients, shooting weddings and studio pre wedding shoots... Feeling breathless, but ironically happy! Reason? Because I'm doing what i love!

Heres a pic of the bride wearing her heels. Inspire by master William Chua.

Victor & Emily- Solemnization

2009-03-15T01:25:00.003+08:00

Alson & Jo

2009-03-03T23:30:00.002+08:00

When I am selecting some photos of Alson & Jo to post on my blog, I suddenly felt a tingle of guilt. Coz their wedding banquet is in January, and i haven't even pass them their album! But no, its not me. I think they have been too busy with their work and slipped the task of selecting photos out of their mind.

Anyway, their wedding banquet was held at Holiday Inn parkview. Quite a nice place IMO, with lots of chandeliers (Alicia loves it, she even request me to take a pic of her with them) hanging around. One funny thing about the banquet when it started was that a fat chef was made to dance in with the food.

Here are some photos to share with all of you!

The Dancing Chef, i laugh until nearly forgot to snap pictures of him.

My 1st weekend without shoots...

2009-03-02T23:24:00.004+08:00

The past weekend is good, get to spend time with my baby girl and wifey. And I finally feel the feeling of how tired it can be, looking after a kid.
Finished 3 seasons of Prison Break (finally), I watched em during 1-4am in the middle of the night, everyday for the past two weeks, and i must say that its really an interesting show.

Enough of rest, Im looking forward to this weekend's shoot.

Here are some photos to share. Add a thicker black bar to bring out some cinematic feel to my photos. Hope it works for you!

Jason & karen

2009-02-26T02:10:00.004+08:00

Here are some pic of the Wedding of my good friend, Jason & karen. Hope they like them!

Catching a breather...

2009-02-25T15:30:00.003+08:00

Been busy clearing backlogs recently, and i finally found some time to blog. Although im really caught up with dozens of photos to process, with almost no time for myself, im loving every minute of it. Reason? Simple... Because i simply love what im doing!

Here are some pics to share, from a recent solemnization.

This kid is so lovable, with that constant smile on her face. Im sure my daughter will grow up to be like that too...

The Flower Guy

2009-02-11T16:33:00.003+08:00

Alright, as promised, heres another pic* taken by Alicia when we r on our second assignment at Fort Canning, The Legends.

*not for the feint-hearted.

Royston & Yvonne

2009-02-09T23:54:00.007+08:00

Recently, still very busy... Trying very hard to cope with this kind of lifestyle; shooting on weekends, editing photos and meeting clients on weekdays, rushing backlogs like nobody's business :p.
It is hard to explain the feeling and emotion i get with each wedding i shoot, each assignment i completed. But one thing for sure, it is that 'feeling' and 'emotion' that kept me going, and strive to revive more wonderful moments in people's life...

Here are some pics from a recent wedding to share. Royston & Yvonne are nice couple... But one thing i really cannot forget about their wedding is that Royston was made to rush up 10 storey and collect balloons... Me? Ofcourse i followed him! and i was left with half of what i have when i reached the top with both my cameras slinging on me!

To all potential clients, if you are thinking of doing this, please inform me in advance, so that i can prepare myself by working out in the gym few weeks before. :P

Click HERE to view more pics of this wedding.

New photo of me!!!

2009-02-04T02:59:00.003+08:00

Woots! i got a new photo taken by Alicia. Shall i put this in my website???

Anyway, today is the unluckiest day of the year of OX to me, coz i met with a car accident. Bump onto another car. Im at fault because im the one behind. Thank god nothing happen to my pair of hands, if not, i will miss those upcoming weddings :p

Okok, i promise to drive carfully next time.

Happy Lunar New Year!!!

Alex & Kristy- A short Bridal shoot

2009-01-18T23:38:00.002+08:00

Hey yo! I felt so guilty not blogging for such a long time. Been really really busy for the past weeks i hardly even get to see my daughter.

Chinese new year is round the corner, really excited (don't know what i'm excited for, coz now i'm the one giving AngPows,not receiving anymore).

Anyway, did a very short Bridal shoot for Alex & Kristy last week at around Stanford House. Their big day is on the eve of chinese new year eve, which is next sat! Im sure their wedding is going to be exciting, because i actually went and take a look at their rehersal in church today.

The feeling is actually good, to shoot right before chinese new year :p

Here are some of the photos i like. Hope they like em too!

Happy New Year...

2009-01-01T04:00:00.003+08:00

Year 2008 has been a great year for me, the birth of Revival Production, having chances to be a part of the big day of many wonderful couples. I'm really really please because it was the year i found what i love to do, and what i think i will do best.

2009 is here, all i want to do this year is to give my very best in each and every assignment to come, and to create lots of beautiful images that can revive moments from the heart.

I wish all of you a very happy new year, and may all your wishes for 2009 come true!

P.S:December was a hectic month, hence the lack of updates, please bear with me, more pictures are coming your way.

I love my Job...

2008-12-10T02:39:00.000+08:00

You know, i feel that being a Wedding Photojournalist is the most meaningful job in the world. I get to document, and be a part of one of life's most important and happiest event. What's more, the images that i create will be kept with the couple for a very very long time, generation to generation. So i think it is important to do my very best in each and every wedding that i shoot.

Here are some images i took, of a very nice couple, William & Theresa...

Hope you enjoy them!

Such a small world, ^^^ this guy is actually my long lost primary school mate.

You could see very clearly Cindy's tear of joy as Kelvin kneel down infront of her.

Nigel & Audrey- Wedding Banquet

2008-10-10T00:01:00.000+08:00

Hi, feels a long time since i last update my blog... Heres some pics of Nigel and Audrey's wedding banquet.

I'm back... Time for hardwork...

2008-10-06T15:56:00.000+08:00

Hi, im back from Hong Kong. Im so excited for my next assignment. Cant wait for it, i kept think about what wonderful moments im gonna encounter even in my hotel bed. I felt my passion burning strong within me...

AKSM fed me with some very very powerful word of wisdom by Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios. So i thought i should share some of them which made an impact on me here with you...

Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle.

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

I think these words are really inspiring, i'm certain that i've found what i love to do... i hope, in time to come, i will produce great work that leaves an impression...

Heres video. I hope you can take time to digest it... really great words....

Hongkong Trip

2008-09-30T22:08:00.001+08:00
