A boisterous Wedding! : Delvin & Adeline

Bride gets ready in the early morning

Preparations for gate crash begin

And the groom arrives!

…is it time to go up yet?

Almost day light..

Rock and rolling groomsmen

No Entry!

Until breakfast is consumed!

Baby Bittergourds are, by the way… the most bitter 

Delvin finally gets through the gate to receive his bride

And a final wave before setting off

Car reflections – my favourite kinda shots

Big family hug on arrival at Delvin’s home

Lotsa wonderful 成語，彥語 as blessings for the couple

I feed you, you feed me, sweetness for many years to come

Adeline’s dad gets a tad bit emotional after the tea ceremony

Thank you, Mum

Delvin’s nephews, and ringbearer

Congratulations Delvin and Adeline!

Wedding: Edalene & Gerald. The Grace Kelly Dress

I learnt during the wedding that Edalene & Gerald’s favourite phrase is ‘awesome’. So forget about depending on a photo booth company to provide live feeds of guest pics on screen. The lovebirds, who both in the advertising industry, got their friends to twitter/facebook pics of their wedding, like live updates, and projected it on screen. All they needed was an internet connection!

Grace & Ted’s Wedding: Lovebug and a touch of class

Privileged to photograph and put together the story of Grace & Ted’s pre-wedding and wedding day albums. Working together prior to the wedding day definitely aids in building rapport with the couple, helps in our understanding of each other and our working styles, so we can roughly read each other’s moves. Or for me that is, I try to read the couple’s moves, what each facial reaction means and be more confident about access into private and intimate moments that surround the nature of a wedding itself.

Also, am especially delighted when Bride feedbacks that she’s enjoyed the photoshoot!

An excerpt from Grace & Ted’s wedding, complete with a modified Volkswagen Beetle with Porsche steering wheel and interiors. Makes me so-very Gaga.
Check out Ted’s ‘Counting sheeps’ tie. Love!

Church: St Francis Xavier
Banquet: Four Seasons Hotel
Videographer: Yang, Substance Films
Grace’s gown: Emanuel B

• JASON AND XINRONG, PRE-WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY 2011

  It was really great working with you. Quite serendipitous that you and Jason went to RVH too AND remember each other!
  I hope you had as much fun as we did going around Tiong Bahru. All my friends loved the photos you did, and they said it's very "me"? I'm glad that Jason and I did things the way we wanted and had you as our photographer :) styles sama sama la.

• DELVIN & ADELINE, WEDDING DAY PHOTOGRAPHY, NOV 2011

  Thanks Mindy! Love the pictures! Thank you so much for catching the moments with the varied perspectives and enabling us to recap the day of so many wonderful memories. Arigato

• CEDRIC & TIFFANY, PRE-WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY, APR 2011

  Mindy took our preferences into consideration when planning, taking and editing her shots. We were touched by her sincerity in creating a product that we would like, to the best of her ability.
  During the shoot, she also helped us come up with some ideas, and was fun to hang around with! She also did not shy away from giving her opinions to help improve the shots, which we appreciated.
  Thanks very much Mindy, for playing such an important role in creating something Ced and I would treasure dearly for the rest of our lives, in such a delightful way. I'm also glad to have found a friend in you in the process. :)

• KEE SENG & DAPHNE, WEDDING DAY PHOTOGRAPHY, JAN 2011

  "Hi Mindy, you've captured our wedding in such fine details, we've absolutely no problem reviving our fond memories of the day through your beautifully crafted story-board of pictures. The whole series is extremely fluid and well connected. You have such an uncanny & amazing ability to capture such subtle emotional responses from your subjects.
  Thank you so much for putting in your utmost effort and producing such amazing stuff. We've said again & again that there's no other photographer we've like to have for our big day.
  Love your work to bits! Keep shooting....you're certainly an inspiration!!!

• KEEMIN & HOLLY, WEDDING DAY PHOTOGRAPHY DEC 2010

  "Mindy, we loved working with you - it was hardly any work! Can't wait to see what you've captured. Happy New Year! "

• JUNHUI & THERESA, PRE-WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY, JULY 2010

  "My hubby and I wanted our pre-wedding shoot to be like a magazine, acting just like models in a magazine. So when we saw Mindy's photos we decided to give her a try. Everyone said a pre-wedding shoot is very tiring, but we enjoyed more than we were tired. I gave Mindy the freedom to do whatever she wanted. The photos turned out PERFECT! My friends thought that we had photographed a part of our pre-wedding overseas but it is in Singapore. All our friends and relatives loved our photos and even asked where we went for our shoot. I LOVE the colors of the photos! When I flipped though the album it made me felt like I am back to the day. As our shoot was more experimental, we decided to choose red for the album cover when Mindy show me the materials. Thank you for not just creating photos for us but a memory for our new start of life. "

• KELVIN & AILIN, WEDDING DAY PHOTOGRAPHY, JUN 2010

  "The Express Highlights are great and made people laugh. We wanted a light mood for our wedding and the highlights helped! There's a certain freshness and honesty in the pictures. Like that they are not posed and artificial."

• KEESENG & DAPHNE, SRI LANKA PRE-WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY, JUNE 2010

  "Your photojournalistic eye really shone through! Even many of the so-called "posed" shots appear so natural and unguarded...The entire series from the Tea Plantation was especially amazing! Lots of beautiful moments, it was fun and spontaneous at the same time, both of us enjoyed ourselves alot, and it really came through in your photos.
  The image quality is superb! There was a good selection of images/themes despite our tight schedule all thanks to your hard work! We're had an uphill task selecting which images to use as there are so many favorites, some really creative shots, others heart-warming.
  I loved how you've captured the essence of the place (esp. the plains, on the local bus, etc.), which is a bonus on top of the memorable moments of us in them. Needless to say, the execution for the shots - very professional."

• JENSEN & VICKY, ADELAIDE PRE-WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY, 2009

  "Hey Mindy, Thanks. For someone who professes to hate taking photos (95% of the time I cringe at the end-result), this shoot was definitely an eye-opener - I actually enjoyed it to a great extent. I have to admit the pictures look awesome.
  Jen was the one who made the choice of having you as the actual day photographer; he was convinced when he saw your portfolio of works. It didn’t take us long to decide to take this further to have a photoshoot with you in Adelaide. After all, you are an award-winning photographer and clearly your work does show why. I liked what I saw in your photos - to actually freeze that emotive moment via a 2-D photo is amazing to say the least. I was sold in like - less than 10 minutes?
  Needless to say both of us felt very comfortable throughout the Adelaide shoot, knowing we are in good hands. It also helped greatly that we had an interactive photographer who could evoke happy emotions in us when it got actually unbearably cold at times!
  Kudos to the great work, Jen & I can’t thank you enough for your efforts - we really like the shots. It’s wonderful knowing you’d work your magic again on our actual wedding."

• ROGER & GERALDINE, WEDDING DAY PHOTOGRAPHY, 2008

  "We just wanted to say THANK YOU for being so helpful, patient and professional. We thought that the process was going to be tedious but you kept us smiling and happy! The photos turned out superb and exceeded our expectations! Thank you for making our wedding day a great day to remember!"

• JAMES & AMY, PRE-WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY, 2008

  "All my friends saw the pre-wedding photos you took for us and they are all impressed by the way you are able to portray us as who we really are. Au naturel:-) We like how you capture our emotions in every shot! Every single photo brought back sweet memories of that eventful day. Although it was tiring, we are so grateful for your patience and encouragement throughout the day! Thanks for this beautiful gift that we can share with our future children! Merci!!!

• ROSALYN VERA, FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY, 2008

  Mindy, we really love our family pictures! Thank you so much for your hard work and flexibility in capturing our personalities. One of the greatest things about your photography is that you were able to capture our daughter’s smiles, laughs, playfulness and mischief of our 1-year-old that normally only we see. Plus, the color of the prints that you included was fantastic! The pictures were vibrant, brilliant, and seemed to “pop” from the page. I know we will cherish these photos for a lifetime."
