Raymond and I packed our “luggages” and went back to our respective family home on 22 January 2012 for the Reunion Dinner. It’s kind of a mad rush every year because we’ll have to eat at one place and then rush to the next place for second round. But the Reunion dinner at Raymond’s place is always filled with food and lots of food! Here’s a slight glimpse into our Lunar New Year;

Truckloads of Vegetables… from my favourite mushrooms and broccolis to mixed veggies and beans with beancurd skins. Some people actually practice eating Veggies for the first day of the lunar new year, so if there were any leftovers, they can be kept for the next day.

Of course we also do have the Yu Sheng! My super all time favourite food to eat during the Lunar New Year! Especially this Yu Sheng which is home made. I can eat this every single day for all my meals! Hahahahaha! Last year we ordered truckloads of them, and I finished the entire plate myself over lunch and dinner. Super shiok to the max, and it’s healthy too! Kekekeke. But I don’t have the luxury of doing the same for this year though. Oh well, they say moderation is the key! So I shall try to practice that.

We never fail to make the table dirty whenever we do the “lou hei”. With all of us trying to compete who can “lou” the highest, the food bits always come splattering down the plate and fly all over the place. Thankfully for us we have 2 mobile vacuum cleaner who will roam beneath the table like hungry sharks waiting to eat some of the yummy food. And also “Lou Hei” is one of the times where you are officially allowed to spew strings and strings of the Four Letter Word. HAHAHAHA! Of course the four letter words must be auspicious. Since this is the Year of the Dragon, we have auspicious words like “龙马精神” and “龙腾虎跃” etc.

This is how the table looks like after we were done with the gobbling. We had sea cucumber with fish maw, Pigs trotter in vinegar sauce, pig stomach soup, Veggies veggies veggies, two different types of prawn, bak kwa, steamed white chicken, big pomfret, yu sheng, dessert which was pear + apple + almond drink which was pretty refreshing. I must admit it was quite a feast and I’m thankful that we were able to enjoy such good home cooked food.

Here’s a picture of skinny Raymond Phang. LOL!

After staying on for a while, we scooted off to my Parent’s place which was about 10 minutes walk away. Unfortunately by the time we reached, they have already finished eating, and have almost finished washing up. I was feeling kinda sad, especially with lesser people around for the Reunion Dinner at my Parent’s place. Anyway, the Reunion Dinner should be slowly enjoyed with family and it is a good opportunity to catch up with your family (especially when you don’t see them very often). Good opportunity to reconcile any differences or misunderstanding over the past year, good opportunity to have a heart to heart talk.

Reunion Dinner at my place is slightly different. We eat together with my First Aunt (大姑), my Uncle’s family (叔叔), my Parents + Elder Brother, and my Grandma whom I call Ah Mah. Every year it’s the same, steamboat all the way. I like it cos I get to pick whatever food I like and cook it the way I want. There’s quail eggs (high in cholestrol!), toufu, veggies, fish, prawns, fish maw, crabstick, fishball, meat, squid etc.

So we chatted for awhile and my Grandma said she want to go back home cos she was feeling tired. My uncle went back home too, and it’s left with me and my family, together with Satin the doggie.

I helped out to open up the various goodies and poured them into the individual containers.

There were the mini fish filling samosa (surprisingly crispy, yet not very oily), prawn crackers, honeycomb.

Crispy squid cracker (good stuff, everyone’s favourite), and the crispy cuttlefish roll.

Roasted cashew nuts, and mixed nuts with raisins.

My super favourite goodies made by my Second Aunt! The savoury peanut one is Raymond’s favourite, and the Sweet Pineapple one is my favourite!

Of course there were other goodies such as the bak kwa, the candies and stuffs as well. I specially brought my Pok Chui (Olympus Camera) back so that I can snap snap some pictures of my relatives and family, but because I brought Satin back home and she kept crying when she don’t see me around, I had to lug her along for house visitings so I left my camera at home. -_-”.

Usually for the first day we’ll go to Church (Bukit Panjang Methodist Church) in the morning for service, followed by my Maternal Grandma’s place. Then to my First Aunt’s place, my place, and end at my Sixth Aunt’s place (yes I have a lot of aunts. Haha!). Something different for this year, we actually sneaked an attack on SUSU!! Muwahahahahaha! We went to her place to surprise her, and her mummy was sooooooooooo excited to see us!!

We were treated to a heaven lot of good food cooked by Susu’s daddy who is a Hainanese (he used to work as a cheft). Got Prawn Paste Chicken, got Sweet Sour Prawn, got Yummy Mutton and Beef, got Broccolis, got Noodles etc! Then there were cakes made by Susu’s mummy.. the Vodka Vanilla fruit cake, the marble cake, the vegetarian meat beancurd which tasted like yummy carrot cake, cookies and biscuits baked by Susu’s “dao” twin sisters. Not forgetting the home made prawn crackers, and we even had bananas.

Card games is the most popular way to kill time during the Lunar New Year, and so we stayed on at Susu’s place for a few rounds. We left the place with about $16 worth of 20 cents and 10 cents coins, and a stomach which weighed approximately 5 kilograms heavier than when we first entered Susu’s house. Hahaha!

Second day of Lunar New Year was spent at my Second aunt’s place, followed by Raymond’s relatives’ place. Then we left to meet Chris Woon at his place to fix his computer. Initially it was only the router, end up had to provide an all rounded full service for him. HAHAHAHAHAHA! So funny!! We missed the time for my Third Aunt’s place, so we went off to visit Uncle Larry who was Raymond’s extremely strict photography mentor. But he’s really really nice outside work, I like him!

Third day of Lunar New Year was spent at Raymond’s and supposedly my Fourth Aunt. The list goes on and now we’re back at work! Hehehe. Actually during all the past few days of the Lunar New Year, Raymond has been working overnight till 5am in the morning on the wedding backlogs to make up for time spent during the day visiting. We’re still working on the November couples, and it’s the same routine every year for us because the year end is always the peak wedding season where we receive more bookings as compared to the rest of the year. So do be a little patient with us while we work diligently on the images!

.

Because this is the Year of the Dragon (龙 – pronounced as Long), so I gotta start off the first blog post of 2012 with a LONG entry. HAHAHAHAHAHA!! Gotta applaud you for surviving through the first half! Now go drink some water, stretch your back, and rest your eyes for 5 minutes before continuing the rest of the entry. Kekekeke.~

We received this awesome Macaroon tower from Serene and Chek!!

Because it was pretty huge and we couldn’t fit it inside the fridge, we had to gobble and gobble, and put some on a plate to fit in the fridge. Then we realised that there’s a hidden chocolate tower in the middle!! Ben, Susu and I were thinking whether is this a solid piece of chocolate block, or is the inside empty. So Ben took a knife and cut off the top. It’s empty! But the chocolate was super duper yummy! It’s a best friend to those who have sweet tooth like me. Hehehe.

Next came the Garrett popcorn from Lydia and Ah Loke!! We haven’t opened it yet, probably gonna wait till we have another Raymond Phang Photography movie night in the office to munch together. Hehehehe.

Gosh this picture is quite out of focus, but the greedy monster took over and I quickly opened to munch right after snapping this one picture. OOPS!! Thank you Lynnette and Shing Wa for this! 

Totally non Lunar New Year related, but here’s how we spent our Christmas last year!

First time we had a Christmas Tree! Bought the plastic plant at Daiso for $2, and DIY the decors ourselves. My mum gave me the Santa Claus and stockings. But too bad no reindeers on sleigh visited us cos the stocking was empty even until today.

Raymond gotten himself a Mamiya RB67 medium format which is pretty versatile cos you can switch to using a digital back or a instant polaroid with the 120mm film. The black and white was so super awesome, every single bit of details, the highlights and shadows… you can chuck Photoshop or Lightroom aside already!

And here’s a giant basket from Eileen & TP with a message that wrote Dear Raymond, Angeline, Susu & Ben. Thank you for your hard work! Love, TP & Eileen. Kekekeke.

It’s a Crabtree and Evelyn basket filled with truckloads of goodies!!

And a Christmas cupcake from Serene and Chek! And because the Santa Claus looked so cute, end up nobody was willing to eat the Santa Claus. But the fondant was awesome! So sweet and sugary!!

Jean and Julian bought us Ben and Jerry’s and also snacks from Bangkok!! Wahhhhhh… all these yummy food I cannot resist!

Ichiro Films also gave us a box of goodie! It’s a box of multi flavoured Marshmellow!! Love the thoughtful packaging… and you can even play Tic Tac Toe with your friends. Kekeke.

Here’s something from Ben and his Liebe Liebe awesome sweet pretty kind hearted gentle and funny girlfriend – Becky Bex! A Neon writing board and Battlefield 3! Unfortunately till now Raymond haven’t got the time to play the game though… But I’m having fun drawing on the board!

Up next is something from Angthommie! Paul Frank tops for everyone at RPP! Whooohoooooo!!!

Then a Christmas Log Cake from Lynnette and Shing Wa, which turned out to be really yummy!! I am a cake monster… so… less than 10 minutes half the cake was already gone. :X

I gave the cakie a moon! So it looked like a mini hut on top of a chocolate hill with a nice moon hanging from the skies. Kekekeke. Should have taken from a higher angle then can see more things such as the door of the hut etc… but greedy monster took over again. I will fail badly as a food photographer because of this greedy monster. Wahahahahaha!!

Then yesterday Elizabeth and Choon Kwang came over to pick up their Actual Day wedding images, and brought us this!! Together with a stick of Toberlone which miraculously disappeared right after. So no pictures.

And we finished all the sugar “spies” (gummy bears) they sent us over the year, so no pictures of the evil bears too.

And this is from Amy and Roy~~~ DooooNuuuutsssss…. I actually bit a mouth in the top two donuts. and left them in the fridge after gobbling up the chocolate coated one.. you know, just like how the male dogs mark their territory… Muwahahahahahahaha!

They also gave us a surprise ”wedding present”!! The words are not in focus, but here’s the love letter;

Dearest Raymond & Angeline, Thank you so much for the great photography work! We’re truly blessed to have you in our wedding celebrations! Take care & keep in touch! Love, Roy Amy 2012.

Here’s what inside the box! RAYMOND WITH HAIR!!! WAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

And he’s holding a camera while we self snap, which is always how we snap pictures of ourselves. Hehehehehehe. Love it to bits, and now everyone knows how Raymond looks like if he grows his hair.

In between the years a lot of couples really took great care of us and make sure we were well fed with the goodies and yummy cakes and sweets!!!!!! Wahhhh… the expansion of our body size aptly shows our appreciation for your love. A big big thank you to each and everyone of you who have contributed to our expansion in one way or another. Muwahahahahahaha!!!

May the Year of Dragon bring to you abundance of good health, happiness, and rich blessings! HUAT AH!!!!

Lots of Love,
Angeline

Feedback welcome on this set of images. This is the first time im trying a rangefinder so please be gentle! Most of the shots are taken at waist level without focusing thru the rangefinder with a rough gague of the distance. The m9p makes me feel like a photographer again! Haha!

Hope you guys will enjoy this series – my virgin try at wedding with the Leica M9-P. Happy Boxing Day!

Happy Boxing Day to you guys!

Love,
Raymond Phang

And here’s an interesting quote from a friend, which sets me thinking;

‎”We are often too busy with our own things and not aware of what is around us. We tend to rush even taking pictures of beautiful things we see. A friend told me that the actual scenery is much more beautiful than the photo. A camera could only capture 1/10 of what we can see. The best camera is your eyes, the best album is your memory. Use your eyes and heart to feel…”

Hmm… So what do you think?

Love,
Angeline

We also shot their pre-wedding for them, which some of the images won us awards after awards. For those who are keen to take a look at their pre-wedding images, here’s the link: http://www.raymondphang.com/blog/2010/pre-wedding-photoshoot-with-kangwei-shuqin

For now, let’s focus on the AD images!

They are super duper well prepared. A OUB ONG UNITED BANK Cheque……………… Pay to Sisters……….. Singapore dollars $888,888… But I think the cheque got rejected… cos the numerical numbers and the spelling doesnt match. Should be eight hundred + eighty eight thousand and eight hundred + eighty eight dollars.. minus the “+” sign… right? :p

And here’s the princess getting ready…

So with the bounced cheque, brothers had no choice but to dance and perform for everyone. I like the first image at the top cos best man looks like he’s doubting groom’s ability… don’t know can dance or not…. and groom was wearing a smirk on his face. Dance till pro pro hor li si!! Muwahahahaha! Must have looked good with Loud! Productions’ skills…

Next he was tested on his sewing skills. He sewed the word 爱 which means ‘Love’ in Chinese. Success!

KW: “WHAT?? U mean my cheque bounced?? How can it be?? I am so angry!”

Brothers: “Chill bro, chill… come, drink water first… I think the horse leg is revealed, bo bian lah, we have to use the Yusof Ishaks already…”

*Flash out the Yusof Ishaks, put in ang pow, pass to sisters*

I love this image… So happy!

Oh if you love Shuqin’s gown, it’s from The Wedding Present.

I think I like this series a lot because there were a lot of shy shy and cute moments like this… you know, like those kind of traditional older days where newly weds super shy on their wedding day, tease bit bit will blush like mad. LOL!

Touch ups and preparation to the Solemnisation ceremony at the Glass Pavillion – Amara Sanctuary Sentosa.

A lot of brides love the glass pavillion cos It’s pretty princessy and cosy. Luckily the weather was kind to them with a not so sunny afternoon.

They had Professor Yu Shi Ming as their Justice of Peace (JP), who also happens to be one of the more popular ones our couples usually engage for their solemnisation.

That’s a before and after image. Before the vows and rings exchange, and after.

Another one of my favourite image, and I just cannot explain why…

One of my favourite tea ceremony sets (yeah, I have favourites from tea ceremony too)..

After they were done with the solemnisationa and tea ceremony, evening part was back at Amara Sanctuary Ballroom. Sky was raining a bit during the evening, but all was good!

Some pictures of the ballroom, they had a huuuuuuge VIP round table.

Boy boy seriously looking through the pre-wedding album, so young start to look for wedding photographer already. LOL!!

Usually we do not do the formal group photos, but here’s one specially to thank Mia and Clarabelle for their help at Kangwei & Shuqin’s pre-wedding shoot earlier on.

Interior of the banquet hall, awaiting for Bride and Groom’s arrival.

Ta-Dah!

The couple engaged a three piece band from A Little Dream, with Bevlyn Khoo the femal vocal, Zhengquan the male vocal and Ein Ein on the keyboard. They were hitting numbers like La Isla Bonita (too bad no dance floor for the guests to shake their bons bons and swing their heads), Dream a little dream, Quando Quando Quando, and also several Chinese pieces

Frontal view of the stage.

And then it’s a bit of mingling with the scary guests while waiting for second march in. Proud mummy showing off her daughter to the guests, and poor daughter had to drink and drink and drink. Kangwei had to help her fend off the leeches. Muwahahahaha~ :p

Here comes the second march in!

Best man Chak’s speech and Maid of Honour Angie’s speech which touched the couple.

Next on was the couple’s speech which had the guests exploded in laughter. Epic nugget of information on that day from Angie which goes something along the line of this;

One day Kangwei suddenly looked at Shuqin with loving eyes, touched her hair gently, like so romantic and told Shuqin this – Dear you complete me, because for the things I don’t like to do, you’ll do them for me.

*FAINTS*! HAHAHAHAHAHA!

Moving on, more drinking action at the tables. Big sister big says STOP, we kiss, we don’t drink. So the kissing had to go on for as long as the yam seng was on. LOL!

Shuqin’s mummy also did a good job making sure the the friends and relatives are well taken care of, she also drink drank drunk, just like the couple.

More drinking action……….. -_-”…. Why not have an ice cream eating action…. :p

Ah ma also wants a piece of the action but don’t have. :p

It’s farewell time…

I’ll end the blog post with this loving image from the wedding. Cheers!

We also had the opportunity to photograph Colin and Emily’s pre-wedding in New Zealand, damn awesome shots, and super enjoyable! We can do it a million times over, and I believe even after the millionth time is done, we’ll still want more. But I shall not sidetrack, will keep my focus on their Actual Day Wedding for this post. :p

So… here goes!

Spot the resemblance? Kekeke. The bunny earsssss!

The couple actually got to know each other during their school days, and they’ve been together for almost 10 long years already!

Jean Aw (a friend of the couple and also Andrew + Sylvia) did the hair and make up for Emily that day. Wonder why was she laughing so hard until she was sitting on the floor!

Preparation for the gatecrashing, so pretty still go do Heart shape pattern on top of the gooey bitter gourd mixture.

I’m not gonna share too much images on gatecrashing, just a very few images.. otherwise it might scare the groom/brothers away~ This time round the girls are so considerate, before the start of the gatecrashing games, they offered the Po Chi Pills to the groom and brothers, to prepare their stomach for the just-in-case!

We have encountered cases whereby grooms and brothers puked and had tummyache during the wedding, which can be quite a spoiler for the couple as it affects the mood of the entire day. So maybe can refrain from playing with too much food stuffs, otherwise gotta take extra care and make hygiene practice a top priority. Or maybe… po chi pills at the start will be a good alternative. LOL!!

$8888 all for a keyyyyyyyyy?

The TEN Commandments… LOL!! If there’s any couples out there who’s doing a role reversal (might be a bit too much to ask bride to fetch groom, but girls doing gatecrash to win the groom should be alright), please text us, call us, email us, leave us a note on our facebook or even on our blog! We’d loveeeeeeee to photograph your actual day wedding! Muwahahahaha!

Emily in her pretty gown from Dang Bridal`

There there, finally the groom gets the bride!

Off to church for the church wedding at Life Bible Presbyterian Church!

Pretty floral decors by Flower Couture.

And awesome guestbook! Mini pretty cards and guests can write their well wishes~

All set and ready, waiting for bride’s arrival.

The darling flower girls and bridesmaid – Jolene, who is also Emily’s sister.

Evening banquet was held at Pan Pacific Hotel.

Oh no… red wine… I smell danger!

Super love the cake design, so pretty! And look at their wedding favour – a bottle of happy pills for the guests, label designed by couple, and they had friends to help them pack + label the bottles individually. Made with loveeeee!

Here’s the second change, with this beautiful pink cheongsam gown, also from Dang Bridal. It’s really really pretty!

Couple shared the first dance together~

There were a whole lot of happy images from Colin and Emily’s wedding, and I love it! I love it when the couple knows how to enjoy and relax on their wedding, when Susu (our digital plastic surgeon) saw the images, she also enjoyed working on the images. Raymond had fun shooting the wedding, everyone is happy!

I think this is cute! First time I see couple drink champagne so cute one.. Usually it’ll be the cross arms, you drink yours and I drink mine kind.. Hahaha~

Fierce yum seng!!

Time for candiiiiiids~

And huggies to end the post! Cheers!

Lots of ♥,

The bride and groom!

I shan’t post too much on the gatecrashing, but here’s just 3 short photos to summarise PART of the event - groom and brothers were made to eat gooey yucky stuffs!

Left is what goes into the guys’ tummy, and right is what came out. LOL!!!

Kinda love this image, so got feeeeeeeel~

Carrie is gonna kill me for posting this, but I love her expression here!

Ticket stubs at the church reception table~

Super pretty decors!!!

Carrie’s favourite bunny!



Couple’s speech giving time~


Aiyoh, don’t need to paiseh cover mouth ah. Kekekekeke~

Raymond had a cheeky idea and decided to give the Audi logo an additional 2 rings. Muwahahaha~

Instead of the usual wedding favour provided by hotel, the couple customised their own sweets from Sticky.

Kenneth might kill me too for posting this up, but it’s all part of the day. Wedding is a happy occasion, enjoyable for most, but also very tiring at the same time. And look, bunny is peeping at you from the bottom right corner!

Here comes the first march in, Carrie dressed in her beautiful Vera Wang wedding gown. Think this should be from the Spring 2010 collection.

Here’s the backview~



“Hail Hitler!”

While the adults are all laughing and having fun, Kenneth was only interested in his dessert. Muwahahaha~

Getting the groom to drink and drink has become one of the must-dos for wedding day.


One of my favourite two pictures to end the post. I like it when a picture gives me room to let my mind wander off, thinking of a million possible explanation on what the subject in the pictures are doing at that point when the shutter went off. Especially those images which doesnt leave you with much clue/hint.

Till the next, take careeeeeee!

Lots of ♥,

- Angeline

Couples can be Multi sure that they have all angles covered with friends/relatives happily snapping away too! Hahahaha~
And they had a quick outdoor shoot at the Basketball Court.

The girls’ hero with a flying slam dunk! Muwahahahahaha~

Don’t ask me why I share this image, I just think it’s simple and I kinda like it for the simplicity.

One of my personal favourite solemniser/justice of peace – Dr Phua Tan Tee

Roger, you have made a good choice and married a good wife!

Roger:  *fake laugh*.. I hope she won’t get me to wash all the dishes and do all the housework after today. *fake laugh some more*

Muwahahaha~

While the folks are busy getting ready~

I enjoy the kids series! Hahahaha! It’s like goodie two shoes reading book, and then the last image we have a little drunkard totally wasted on Champagne. Hahahahaha~

Super love this little post box they had at their reception!! Instead of Singapore (Local) and Overseas, they had a For Him and For Her. Guests can write well wishes etc and then slot it into the respective slots.

For some reason, Bailey and Satin our Chihuahua loves the Conrad Bear…

Evon’s gown for the first march in, followed by the second change.

A series of candid shots at the banquet besides the standard programme for the table to table.

Evon: “You ah you, you better dont drink too much I tell you ah! Otherwise tomorrow nobody mop the floor!”

Dad: “Hmm… what evon says is true huh… come, I sniff sniff see this one potent anot, QC for you before you drink… ”

Roger: “COME ON… *fake laugh*… it HAS to be potent otherwise I cannot siam the housework tomorrow! *fake laugh*”

- Roger heck care, bottoms up! -

So Roger drank… and drank some more…

Evon buay tahan, at this rate if she don’t drink she’ll be the one doing housework… so she attempt to drink and drink too…

Roger got scareded, and the night continues with more images of Roger drinking… Hahahahaha~
.

And here’s another pretty raw image to share from their outdoor shoot on Day 1!

Till the next, take care!

Apologies for the super lack of update since our last post on Goodbye Loft @ SOHO. We’ve been super duper busy with the packing/unpacking/cleaning/reno/more cleaning/more reno/pre-wedding shoots/falling sick/backlogs of editing/touch ups at the new place/more backlogs to clear and the list goes on. Will share some pictures of the place once it’s clean and ready!

Realised that we have been sharing quite a bit of our conceptualised pre-wedding shots recently, here’s a series from Roger and Lydia’s actual day wedding celebration taken last year in October. Yeah, didn’t realise another 2 more months and it’ll be a year since their wedding! Time really fliesssssssssssssssssss! *Gasp*!!

We’ve got many more wedding images to share, but that will take some time to come as our hands and brains are really full now. Enjoy!

Loving how the moment was captured when Raymond happened to spot Lydia and her daddy-in-law sharing a hug. Roger and Lydia’s wedding was really close and intimate with no pretence, free flow of hugs and kisses around, no need to follow any auspicious timing, and it was free play. Just the kind I like!

Roger arriving for the gate crashing time… Gate crashing is not a tradition back home, so Roger didnt really know what to expect. Maybe can try bribe the kids for some insider information?

Luckily the games they played was nothing of the eating yucky food sort, so everything was good fun!

Then Roger was made to sing a song and strum on the guitar. I think he’s loving it.

Look at the 2 curious kids standing by the door. Kekeke~

Lydia actually did her own make up, and her hair was done up by her mummy in law. :)

Somehow I kinda love this picture – “Humph! No way am I gonna let go of my cutsie little red umbrella!”

Roger can really jump…………………………..

Told you there were free flow of hugs and kisses already. Hahaha~

Guess many people would have seen this picture already… Raymond Phang Photography’s signature wedding car shot in motion. This came about to break away from the boring ‘couple standing infront of car, pose, snap, thank you very much’ shots. Glad it has become a trend for wedding photographers!

Had time for a quick outdoor shoot before heading for the banquet~

More kissy kissy~ *wink wink*

Sharing a sweet loving moment

And lots of laugh laughs

And more kissies to end the post.

Lots of ♥,
