        A wedding should be an intimate affair, witnessed by the ones you love, celebrated by those who truly care for you. It’s a cosy gathering, a reunion, and a heartfelt one. We flew to London and from there hired a car to Cornwall, taking the opportunity for a quick getaway. Unfortunately we couldn’t stay as long as we had hoped, but more of that in another post! Kay Yin, my NCC platoonmate from secondary school days, had a most romantic solemnization, planned single-handedly by Adam. There ceremony was held within the old stone walls of a bathing hut by the Tamar River, within the estate of the castle. A wedding singer on strumming on his guitar, singing Chasing cars by Snow Petrol and songs of Jason Marz echoed within the old stone walls, the weather 14 degrees.. witnessing Adam read his personal vows to his bride, and Kay Yin nodding to Adam… It was a perfect day, in every way
    
  Shaozhen and Celine met through pokes. Yes, literally, on Facebook as strangers. It was a random request to add Celine, who’s from Hong Kong, as a friend. And she, lured by Shaozhen’s album of his cute white dog Yuki, Celine decided to click on Yes. Since Celine’s an air stewardress on Cathay Pacific and frequently pops into Singapore, the two finally met on one of her stop-overs, and the rest they say, is history. This was also my first time photographing a Hong-Kong style wedding, filled with so many beautiful touches of red and gold. Love =) Celine’s Outfit: Chinese Kwa from Hong Kong
            by mtan2 no comments At 12, entering River Valley High School for the first time alone to buy text books and school uniforms and holding tightly to the $100 (the biggest note you ever saw) your mother gave you, was a really scary experience. I had just received my secondary school posting and was lost yet excited. Then I met Pauline in front of the school auditorium. She was recruiting for the National Cadet Corps. I remember she had this smiley face and told me I could shoot air rifles if I joined the NCC. So, I signed-up. Pauline became in-charge of our Sec 1 platoon, and apart from shooting air rifles, we also got to shoot the M-16, climb some mountains, attend lots of horror camps and did a lot of push-ups in the scorching sun! I lost touch with Pauline for years after she graduated. One day, I saw her on a poster at the MRT station and found out she was a fitness instructor at Amore. Then, a few years later, I received an email from her, to shoot her wedding. So, we met again, not in our awkward nurse-like school uniforms, but she as a bride, and me as her photog. Incidentally, Pauline’s two sisters and her mother were all also from River Valley High. How lovely! What came out strongly during the wedding was Pauline’s moving speech, thanking her mother, for being first and foremost, her best friend, sharing her joys and supporting her in every little way. Some pictures to share.
