Edwin & Adeline – Just because I Love You

ohdearphotography — Sat, 21 Apr 2012 04:57:21 +0000

one of the first place that I did my shoot at is this beautiful meadow near Hort Park. It’s actually in the mid of nowhere thats quite inaccessible unless you’re driving.

I discovered this gem of a place when I was shooting my own Engagement photos, (my friend helped me with this, with a super retro film camera, but that’s a post for another day)
The greens are always gorgeous, sun is always beautiful there.. Only lacking thing is unicorns and rainbows. HAHA.

So I was glad when Adeline & Edwin choose this place to shoot part1 of their photos, brilliant. I love her gown and I love the whole mood of the photo..
Part2 was a totally different feel. A very city-feel which I think makes a fab contrast to the green photos. ) Enjoy the photos guy~

The Wee Family’s Twos’ Twin

“It’s double the giggles and double the grins, and double the trouble when you’re blessed with twins! ♥ ♥”

Just the other weekend, I did a shoot with Sharon and her Family.. It’s my first time shooting Twins, and it’s really unique.
the shoot was quite challenging cause it was quite a boiling morning and the kids were feeling quite warm. But I think we did great.
They really did cheer up when we got to the water-cooler.. Splashing the cool water and generally having a great time.

Now pictures..

Yusoff & Sharifah’s Surprise Engagement Party

ohdearphotography — Thu, 05 Apr 2012 02:21:49 +0000

This is the sweestest proposal shoot I had ever done. Everything was so carefully planned and beautiful. Seriously, I wanted to cry sometime during the shoot itself.

It was Sharifah’s birthday and Yusoff secretly booked a yacht, invited her friends along and even hired a wedding gown for her. We got her to close her eyes while Yusoff walked her to the yacht.

The sun although set a wee bit early, but the night was still magical enough.
Yusoff proposed to Sharifah just as the fireworks well off.. with 99Roses nonetheless!!

Like a real-life fairytale lah!!

Ok abit from my side would be, it’s my first time up on a private yacht, I was uber excitied and nervous at the same time. I wont lie and say it’s a breeze to shoot (although it was very windy on board).. The yacht was bummy, wet and slippery and I had to perform.. Well, at the very least, Thanks the gods I am not sea-sick-prone.. But luckily for me, Both Sharifah and Yusoff were extremely not-camera-shy! So I can pretty much say we Rocked the Shoot.

Now for photos….

Sam & Chris – To Somewhere only We know, leave the World behind..

ohdearphotography — Fri, 16 Mar 2012 15:17:53 +0000

To make good photos, good Light is the key factor.

I had harp on this alot of times over the years, but I think the best timing for shoot is 8am in the morning, there the lights are cooler and really gentle.
Sam & Chris is one beautiful couple I shot on this morning where Mother Nature was feeling extremely generous..

Enjoy the pictures people.

Prewedding at Bali with Niki & Jaycee – Day2

ohdearphotography — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 02:58:56 +0000

Happy belated New Year everyone.
So I was busy with lots of shoots and hence unable to continue posting my Bali Shoot. Gah.. Well here goes!

What’s a Bali shoot without a Beach shoot right? So we went to the Padang-Padang beach which was proclaimed VERY beautiful by our driver. And it was!!
It was actually raining very hard while we were on the way, and we were all feeling quite down. Upon reaching, the rain actually dim down to a light drizzle, and actually STOP the moment we stepped onto the beach. Lucky or what!

So we ran around the beach, jumped around and basically tired ourselves out.

We then went to yet another beach with CAMELS!! Yes real live camels. I was so excitied yet apprehensive about them. I mean, they are HUGE! And they actually roar~ But they make good pictures, this was actually my fav fav part of the whole shoot.

Alright, Picture time!

Prewedding at Bali with Niki & Jaycee – Day1

ohdearphotography — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 12:09:25 +0000

This is going to be one long post, in fact Im staring at a blank white screen wondering where to start! Ok.. I met up with Niki and Jaycee during mid year to discuss about their prewedding and we ended up deciding on Bali. So after months of emails/liasing and researches, we decided on the locations and concepts.

So came Nov and we were all so excited to go Bali! It was my first visit there and I frankly, didn’t know what to expect. Some of the most memorable moments would be like -

- when I asked Niki what colour is her gown, her reply was “toenail colour”. I stunned for a while before glancing down. Ohh Turquoise. (because they were didn’t like the too-normal white gowns)
- when it was raining VERY heavily along the way to padang-padang beach and yet, the rain stopped the moment we reached and stepped onto the beach..
- when we were laughing at jokes and singing along in the car while on the way to the next shooting location
- when we first met the camels and when the smell hit us

Countless countless awesome memories and am I glad I met such a lovely and fun Couple. If I were to say so, I think we rocked the shoot at Bali, despite the gloomy rainy weather. Why, we hit almost 1000 pictures. and was it a hard time selecting the photos.

I would definitely go back to Bali, be it shoot or leisure. It’s too beautiful an island.
Here are some of my favorite images from Day1. (day2 and day3 to come consecutively)

Joel & Esther – You’re my Superhero.

ohdearphotography — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 02:18:04 +0000

I have here with me a SuperHero Themed Engagement shoot to share today. Its uber fun and 100% sweetness. Joel & Esther’s idea was a silly and cute superhero shoot around Town. So there was the story of how Joel hates taking the public transport (same here!) and how SuperHero-Est is there to rescues him! Haha..

So I made them hippy-Hop around town, ran around with swords and attracting much curious looks. Heh!!
For the second location, we went to this very very nolgastic sand-playground that must had been the Love of all the 80s-Kids like us.

This adorable couple knew each other since they were little kids. I say, that’s so so super duper sweet,
to grow up and grow old together..

Have a blissful marriage Super-J and Super-E!
