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

It’s been quite a long while since our last update! We’re actually more active on Facebook (www.facebook.com/raymondphangphotography) with regular updates of Raymond Phang’s conceptualised pre-wedding images, and Ben Chan’s beautiful actual day wedding images! (:

The Style Weddings Love Affair 2011 wedding roadshow has been a huge success for us, especially with so many couples coming down specially to engage Ben for their actual day wedding. We have also received a number of emails addressed to Ben Chan with very kind words of encouragement despite Ben being booked for the date hence unable to shoot for their wedding.

Ben and Raymond is currently away surveying the location for tomorrow’s photoshoot, but Ben said he would like to express his gratitude to everyone of you guys who believed in him and his works. He is extremely excited and he look forward to document those beautiful moments for you on your wedding day!

For those who have missed the slideshow preview of Ben’s wedding photography works, here you go. Do allow the video to finish buffering before viewing;

Actual Day Wedding Selection by Ben Chan from Raymond Phang Photography. Enjoy!

We will be updating more of Ben’s works on our Facebook page under the album titled “Feet Touch Feet”, so do keep a lookout for more of his awesome works ya?

Couples who are keen to engage Ben’s photography service, feel free to send us an email to contactme@raymondphang.com with your queries!

We’re currently in the midst of planning awesome conceptualised pre-wedding shoots for coming November and also next year, damn ultra awesome promos for wedding package, and we just completed our very own Raymond Phang Photography’s mini profile shoot. We’ll probably snap some pictures of our work studio and share altogether once the pictures and details are ready. So many exciting plans coming soon! Stay tuned!

Love,
Angeline

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 ♥,

Early in the morning doggie sleeping at Charmaine’s lap, waiting for its turn for the make up. Just kidding!
 
 

Here’s Maria from Wedding Acts looking all bright and cheery!
 
 

And Damon Low in action with his gears.
 

One of Raymond’s favourite image.
 

And this one too for the expression!
 

The couple had a few gatecrashing games including this, eating food like Chilli, Wasabi, drinking disgusting stuffs and chewing off a big stick of chocolate moulded after men’s vital organ *coughs* , but I’ll just post the most innocent one here, the rest is for the couple and their xiong dis jiemeis to enjoy.
 
 

Raymond Phang’s signature car shots.
 

Here’s Cameron Simpson looking all cool and happy! Bet he’ll look even happier on his own wedding day years later!
 
 

A quick shoot around Kok Keong’s place.
 

Again, ah boy’s expression stands out!
 

Quick shoot at Orchard Road right after tea ceremony. All thanks to the professional jie meis for their help!!
  

Here’s the table set up. Pretty right!
 

And a giant blue ”box” for their wedding cake!!
 

 Lovely color theme!! Super nice!
 

Mini cupcakes for everyone~
 
 

Charmaine’s gown has a super long train…
 

Bevlyn the singer from A Little Dream
 

Here’s after a second change into the evening gown with the Champagne popping~
 
 

The fierce Yum Seng to shout out all their frustrations for all the nasty treatment they suffered during the day gatecrashing.
 
 

Speech time from Bestman!
 

And Maid of Honour actually prepared an exaggeratingly long piece of paper for her speech! It’s like pieces and pieces of A4 (or bigger?) papers all taped up into a “scroll”.. LOL!!

Ah boy really is a chick magnet… guess that’s the benefit of being cute - swarmed by pretty ladies all the time… LOL!
 

Couples’ time to give thank you speech~
 
 

And proceeded on with the table to table + crazy drinking sessions with friends.
 
 

Kok Keong drank soooo much, he was practically red like a lobster.
 
 

Cannot take it anymore~
 

He must have waited for this day for a very long time… can drink and drink like crazy!
  

More drinking shots of Kok Keong… and you can only imagine how’s the rest of the night will look like. More toastings, more drinking, more lobsters~ Hehehe. Will be meeting Kok Keong and Charmaine later in the afternoon to show them the entire set of images! Been a long time since I last met them personally. So excited!
 
Hope you guys enjoy this series with little wordings this time round. LOL!! Cheers!

So she got suuuuuper high, started laughing like hyena, “cursing and swearing” while Raymond and I were happily taking video – at least some memories for  her to look back when she’s older. And I secretly think it might make the most awesome wedding gift for her in the form of a video montage. Muwahahahahaha!
 
I got a terrible headache afterwards, and Susu started hiccuping non stop. With every hiccup she had, it will be followed by an “aiyo” sound from her. Then she started sprawling all over the floor, volunteering her tshirt and jeans as a mop cum broom. She crawled all the way from the meeting area to the toilet, complaining that the light switch was so high and beyond her reach, she broke the lock to the toilet door, hugged the toilet bowl, wet her tshirt when she tried to wash her face, wasted a few glasses of water when she almost fell asleep without closing the tap, hugged the toilet bowl again, and puked gloriously like the Merlion.
 
 
WHAT A WAY TO START THE NEW YEAR! Hahahahahaha!! Raymond had to leave at about 10ish for a shoot till about 2am, so Susu and I watched the pathetic fireworks together. I think she caught like 5-10 second glimpse of it and then concuss again. We had to send her home when Raymond returned from his shoot.
 

For Susu, it was a Happy new year “吐011″! Muwahahahahahaha! How was yours?
.
.

That aside here’s one of my favourite series of wedding images shot in Year 2010! Keng Been and Elayna’s actual day wedding~ The couple had the morning whipping session for the groom and brothers, tea ceremony, some quick outdoor shots, and dinner banquet. You should see the dinner reception where the table was laid with all the super nice goodies, very pretty and it makes you feel like lingering around as long as you can and finish gobbling them all.
 

I was feeling hungry and this image of the buns appealed to me with the smooth texture, pastel color and cute little umbrellas. So I had to post it.
 
 

One of my favourite getting ready shot.
 

For Cinematography, the couple engaged Ami from The Wedding Paparazzi.
 

The sisters were all clad in school uniform, seemingly innocent, but wait till you see their power at the gate crashing…
 

I like the “kungfu manual” they were holding, it was part of the gate crashing props. I saw it at Mini Toons or More than words one day, expecting cartoons or drawings to be inside, but it is actually a plain notebook! And they come in different titles for the cover page, and if I remember correctly, it’s about $2.90 or $3.90 each. Nice!
 

Elayna putting on her chunky earring, and I thought it matched pretty well with her gown together with the other pieces like the bangle and ring. Her ring is very unique, and I’ll share a close up picture of it at a later part.
 

When mummy put on the veil for her, she got a little emotional and started tearing. A very touching moment, and often at this point of time Raymond will usually be affected too.
 
 

Now let’s go welcome the groom shall we?? I love Elayna’s doggie, especially the pointy tail that looks like an antenna! Hahahaha!
 

Here’s dog dog with the tail down, secretly warning Keng Been of the coming storm.
 

But Keng Been was not daunted by any of the sisters’ evil plot or tricks. I like the image with dog dog included inside, with everyone facing away from the camera except for dog dog. Yes, the brothers wore the same school uniform too!
 

The games started even before they arrived at Elayna’s unit!
 

Sweet school girls with geeky glasses. Don’t you just love them? And because a lot of relatives / friends will surely be taking pictures with their cameras as well, they tend to upload the pictures to facebook within the week. At least there’s something for excited couples to browse through after the wedding ceremony is over. But on our side we take a much longer time looking through every images individually and edit them because we shoot in Raw format. So we will usually take at least 1 month to 3 months depending on the wedding season to complete the editing. In this case, we really appreciate all our couples who didn’t haunt after us for their wedding images, like Keng Been and Elayna!
 

Now back to the gatecrashing part. The brothers were actually welcomed to Hawaii once they arrived at the lift lobby of Elayna’s place. Posters of pretty Hawaiian girls pasted on the wall with a table full of props for the brothers. So exciting!
 

See how happy the sisters were!
 

“Fine, I will sacrifice my chastity and strip down to nothing if it makes you happy!”

“Nooooooooo, darling, let me do it!”
 
 

Meanwhile, Gary decided to heck care and flaunt it. Feeeeee-U-weeeeeet!!
 

And let the games begin!
 

Raymond spotted one particular brother who likes to “piak” people’s underwear. Muwahahahahaha!
 

Hmmmmmmmm…………. I can’t help but to notice that the sisters nowadays are getting more and more into “nipples”… wait till I share with you on Andrew and Claris’ actual day wedding. Poor poor brothers…
 

While one was being tortured, the other stood by and laughed at his poor misery…
 

Look what happened next…. Muwahahahahaha!
 

Next, the sisters presented a dish of something. Looks like fermented curd or weird looking poisonous Cheese…
 

But once again, Gary the brave warrior beats all the brothers hands down!
 

And decided to sabo Keng Been this time round when Keng been was innocently eating the pink fluffy bun… =_=”
 

Poor Keng Been was forced to have a taste of the yucky curdy thing.
 

Moving on, the brothers were then asked to doll up and look pretty.
 

Oh my goodness… Keng Been had indeed went through a lot of suffering for his princess!
 

Next, the sisters present more kungfu manuals!
 

Keng Been buay tahan already…
 

Decided to make his first offer of bribery
 
 

End up it was a trick!!!! And it got the sisters reeeeeally unhappy~
 

Sensing the wrath of the sisters boiling like hot lava, Keng Been quickly took another ang pow and put in some money to appease them.
 

Angry sisters rushing Keng Been to quickly hang over the ang pow, or else. Keng Been pretended to look as if he has placed a lot of money inside this time round, with a happy and excited face.
 

Who knows, it’s a cutesy note of $50!!! Sister is reaaaaaally unhappy this time round, and if she unleash her power from the kungfu she has mastered from the “Heavenly Wordless Manual”, nobody is able to determine Keng Been and his brothers’ fate within the next 2 seconds.
   
 

Brothers trying to stall time and appease the sisters by looking as smiley as possible while Keng Been decided to make a phone call for help! I guess he has already utilised his 50-50, Ask the audience, and now he’s left with the final Phone-A-Friend.  
 

Who would have thought that the sisters really loved the cutsey note, and in fact they wanted more~
 

So when Keng Been presented the legal tender note to them, the sisters got even furious to the point of breaking down!
 

The gatecrashing went on and on and on, and I shall spare you the details of it by skipping to this image with the KEY!
 

Finally Keng Been stepped foot in the house after being tormented and tossed around like salad by both the brothers who kept sabo-ing him, and the evil sisters.
 

He gets to meet his beloved princess!! Look at the kids’ expression… I’m sure the curious kids must be wondering what on earth are the two of them doing, why are they doing it, and how does it feel. Will it hurt or give them wings? Will they exchange the satay and burger they had last night with each other during the “transfusion”?
 

Awww… so sweet!
 

So the couple had some time for a quick outdoor shoot at the rooftop of the car park.
 

Class photo of the 14 “pai kia” students and 2 teachers.
 

They love their teachers! Awwwww~~ (:
 

Now let’s get ready for the morning assembly and say our pledge with pride!
 

As you can see, when the teachers were not noticing, the students were all up to no good! Just like how you secretly munch on snacks when the teacher turned his back towards you, or how you quickly unfold the notes with answers you have in your pencil case because you didn’t want to study for your spelling test. Kekekeke. 
 
 
Bullying incidents on the left, sharing censored material stored in their mobile phone at the back, girl tugging another girl’s collar with the other pulling the pony tail, and two other female students plotting to elope together. Wah, not easy to be the teacher of this class!

After the shoot when everyone let down their guard, who knows the brothers decided to sabo Keng Been again!
 

They carried him and tossed him in the air like roti prata! Only difference is they managed to catch him when he fall and not turn and walk away or smack him down against the floor. Muwahahahaha!
 

It’s the weird tang yuan (sometimes red date soup, sometimes egg with mee sua, sometimes half cooked fish etc) feeding time.
 

And a hearty tea ceremony session!
 

Oooh la~la~~
 

Keng Been happily removing the veil for Elayna for her next change of Cheongsam.
 
 

Loving the window light and how it soften the whole image.
 

 Raymond Phang’s signature motion car shot on actual day wedding.
 

And here’s dog dog with a change of outfit too!! A red ribbon!
 

Here’s the second part of the wedding with Elayna getting ready for the evening banquet.
 

This is the first time I’ve seen a super blinged up handphone cover! With crystals, ribbons, pearl, flower and everything else. Too bad I cannot survive with this because I often abuse my phone with too much work, need to keep in pocket, squat down and throw all over the place.
 

And now, the many many boxes of wedding favours and goodies!!
 

Little buckets of raspberries, boxes of popcorns, and sticks of macaroon!
 

This must be bars of chocolate and customised M&Ms! A lot of thought has been put into setting up a corner like this!
 

Pretty “cakes” and lollipops, in the theme of red and black.
 

TADAH!!
 

Whirly cream sticks~
 

Pretty roses, and I believe Elayna must be a big fan of roses!
 

Luckily I wasn’t at the wedding, otherwise I would have shifted the entire table back to the studio. Muwahahahahaha!
 

The couple had their wedding at Marriott hotel, and Michelle the wedding coordinator was a great help!
 

More of the wedding favours… SO CUTE! Elayna is a partner of WeddingFavours.com.sg, and the many varieties of wedding favour given out in our goodie bag at the Style Weddings roadshow last year was kindly sponsored by them!
 

 
 Here are some of the wedding favours by their company, and the images taken are from their website :: http://www.weddingfavours.com.sg/index.php

This is actually a handphone charm. So sweet!
 

Wedding favour box with robot bride and robot groom. Hehehe.
 

Wine stopper with heart shape crystal drop.
 

Little bearer of blessing handphone bears, and it comes with the chocolate!
 

You swept me off my feet favour box.
 

This is a pink blossom flower pouch which doubles up as a corsage!
 

They have a variety of wedding favours ranging from as low as $0.50, with new stocks and designs coming in frequently and clearance sale items as well.  Super cute bridal cookies, handphone charms, ring pillow, feather pen, favour box and  lots more! It is highly encouraged that you join their mailing list for the latest updates, and if you would like to customise your own wedding favours, you can drop them an email enquiry at sales@weddingfavours.com.sg.  :)

Now, back to the wedding! Yes, this blog post took me a lot of time to write! Hahahaha! But I’m enjoying it!
 

The flower girls, scattering petals even before the march in.
 

Little girl complaining to Keng Been, and the facial expression is a matter of few seconds.
 

Bangyao the bilingual emcee for the night whom Raymond mentioned has done a wonderful job.
 

Here’s an image of the couple’s wedding ring. Yes, their wedding ring!! The most unique ring we have shot so far, and the couple designed it themselves. I haven’t had the chance to speak to the couple (will be meeting them really soon to show them the wedding images!!) about the ring, but personally I think this is a 2-in-1 ring, which serves as an engagement ring and a wedding ring altogether. That’s why got the diamond on top of the rose. Hehehe~ 
 

Maybe you might have to be a bit more careful when you’re wearing or handling clothes with frilly or lacy designs, but I thought this ring has an even greater meaning since it is a design by the couple themselves. You cannot buy this off the rack in a jewellery shop, and you won’t see a second couple wearing this for their wedding. I’m not so sure why the design for the Keng Been’s ring, but this is exactly the point! Only the couple knows the siginificance of it. And whenever they see the ring, it will remind them of the times they spend together.
 
 

Hor hor, never do homework, last minute then think of Thank You speech!
 

Demonstrating how should a bride kiss the groom? Muwahahaha!
 

I like this image a lot, and Keng Been’s expression tops it all.
 

The March-in.
 

Champagne popping
 

Champagne pouring

And toasting!
 

“Gud lat” brothers doing the yum seng.
 

I love the irony of this image!! Boy Boy finds it noisy so he’s trying to block off the yum seng shouting from his ears, yet at the same time he’s contributing to the noise by joining in with the yum seng!
 

More Yum Sengs from the sisters.
 

And Bangyao gave a speech.
 

Which touched Keng Been’s heart, as well as Elayna’s.
 

Now the couple’s turn to give a speech.
 

A kiss for his lovely wife.
 

Darn! I should have been there to listen what Keng Been was saying! Heartfelt thanks to couples who have invited me to their wedding, but unfortunately most of the time I couldn’t make it to the ceremony as I had to stay in the studio to do backups, clear email enquiries, work on album layout.  We do three level of back up, one in the main computer, one to the NAS network storage system and final level of back up by burning them into DVDs making sure all datas have been successfully verified. After which I need to label them properly, and usually I will take a quick browse of the images as well.

Keng Been plays a tune on the Saxophone specially for Elayna.
 

It moved Elayna to tears.
 

Play a tune on saxophone not enough, must constantly maintain eye contact with the person whom you are playing the tune to. Like that then can shun bian send some electric vibes across to the person. More effective, success rate of sending the message across is higher!
 

Not an easy feat, and mission accomplished!
 

It made Elayna happy, and I am very sure she will remember this special performance for life.
 

As you can see, Keng Been was rewarded with hugs instead of rotton eggs, so it means his performance was good!!
 
 

Raymond had a breeze photographing their wedding simply because the couple enjoyed themselves and let go, they laugh when they are happy, they are not overly worried on whether they will look good infront of the camera. As long as you throw these restrictions away, you will naturally look good. Bottom line is –  your mood affects Raymond’s and also the outcome of your wedding images.
 

Here comes Alcohol, the life of the party.
 

1 glass where got enough, must drink 3 / 4 glasses ah!
 

Love this image too!
 

Oh no, everyone is high! But zoom in on the person sitting down beside Keng Been.
 

Ooops~
 

And Keng Been gulped a glass of weird concoction. Look at the glass…. all goey and blurred and stained…
 

More drinking, gung ho uncles game for more yum seng!
 

And then, Keng Been received a miniature chest as a gift.
 

He opened it up, and found some silver coins in a pile of sand.
 

I’m not so sure if these are the wedding unity coins / arras, but it seems like there are  12/13 coins altogether. The gift represents the bride’s dowry and good wishes for prosperity, symbolising the groom’s trust and confidence with the responsibility of a provider. With this, he pledges his ability to support and care for the bride. The number 13 actually symbolises Jesus Christ and his twelve apostles.
 

On a side note, besides symbolising the groom’s committment to take care of his bride, it also make his wealth hers!!! I believe it should be a latin american tradition for weddings, and it’s a goooooood one! No wonder Keng Been is laughing so hard. But I think he must be crying even harder inside. Muwahahahahaha!!
 

And time to say goodbye.
 
 
Hope you guys enjoy this series as much as I do! Till the next, you guys take care!
 

Lots of ♥,

That aside, we have quite a few backlogs of images to share as well! Few months back we did Kenny and Sherry’s actual day wedding, with solemnisation on the same day. It is actually quite tiring to do everything on the same day, but it saves the cost and hassle altogether. The couple had the solemnisation and banquet at Oosh (Dempsey Road) with a freestyle buffet dinner. Personally I really like the cosy venue with indoor and outdoor settings, guests are free to walk around and mingle, no restrictions, and less tensed up as compared to a full course sit down banquet.
 

Morning make up and preparation was done at the Bride’s place. 
 

The sisters getting ready.
 
 

Here comes the groom and his brothers! Looking all enthusiastic and eager to find out what challenges awaits them.
 

They arrived at the bride’s place to find this suspicious looking paperbag hanging by the main gate.
  

And some pretty bras sleeping on the floor with colorful balloons. Not bad leh, bra still got double strap pattern pattern ones. Luckily no lacy ones. But they have got the outstanding Barney colored bra. Hahaha!
 
 

So the brothers had to inflate the balloons. 2 each!
 

The sisters all gleeful and happy! 
 

Now we all know guys prefer woman to have a heavy top… even when they claim otherwise… Look at the size of balloon they blew up!! They’re all overspilling from the bra already!!!
 

Here’s Kenny with a humongous boobie and barney bra peeping into the other red bag.
 

This kind of question can sometimes be tougher than Phd thesis questions.
 
 

I thought this view look quite funny. Hehehe… now we know who’s the slacker!! *points to second brother from right*. :p
 
 

Kenny consulting the brothers for an answer…
 

Cannot tahan already, must bribe the sisters with more ang pow money.
 

WHAT?? Not sing dollars??
 

Fine fine… see what will the brothers get if they play this kind of dirty tricks on us again…
 

This is how Sing dollars look like. I think next time the sisters must do up a chart of currencies they accept such as Sing dollars, Pounds, Euros, Aussie dollars etc. =p
 

Cannot stand the size of their balloon boobies. Poor bra looked like they’re over “worked”, but here we see one of the brother preparing the “white flag” to surrender.
 
 

The best white flag – cheque!
 
 
 

At least now they get to enter through the main gate, and…. take off each other’s bra… Muwahahahaha!

Brothers and sisters can play any games during the gate crashing, from food to intellectual to physical torture. From meaningless to meaningful games. But most of the time the games played during gate crashing are for the pure pleasure of the sisters. Afterall how many times in life do they get the chance to take “revenge” on the groom and his brothers without them retaliating? Only this once man, only this once…  But of course the sisters cannot be overboard and must try to take note of the hygiene issue during the preparation especially when it comes to food handling. We don’t want the groom and the brothers to get tummy ache, puke all over the place, fall sick and stuffs right? Not only will it spoil the morning, it’ll affect the rest of the wedding day.
 
 

In the past, the games played during gate crashing are more simple. But nowadays the sisters all very jialat, and super sadistic. Maybe because the value of brides nowadays are appreciating… You know, like inflation, property prices and Gold prices? Last time nobody would have imagined the price of COE can go up to $70K, but today, it did. HDB at Shunfu can go up to a million! So I guess it applies to Brides too! Brides are getting more and more expensive because the ladies nowadays are smarter, prettier, capable, and filled with goodness from Vitamin A to Z! Muwahahahahahaha! Ok that’s a bimbotic comment, but quite true to a certain extend! :p
 
 
 
So the gate crashing games are supposed to be a way for the bride’s knight in shinning armour to “show” how far a distance will the sweetheart go for her. It’s like the answer to ”how deep is your love”…. Or “你問我愛你又多深”. Hehehe. The twist and turn of events make gatecrashing seems like an extortion process for the sisters to get more ang pow money. But I’m sure we know the gatecrashing games are all in the name of fun. Maybe the games played nowadays caused people to think that gate crashing are evil and meaningless, aimed only to embarass the groom and brothers. Well, it is your choice to decide whether the gate crashing will be a meaningless or a meaningful one.
 
 
 

After all the cruelsome games, the groom finally gets the bride!
 
 

Oh I like this image!! I thought it felt something like “Lao eh, you look la, look at what your bao bei daughter is doing inside the room!!” Muwahahahahahahaha!!
 

And I thought this look kinda interesting with everyone’s eyeballs looking up, except for the groom’s.
 

Sneaking a kiss at every opportunity possible.
 
 

Rain or shine, it’s a different feel for Raymond Phang’s signature car shot.
 

Tea ceremony from the other perspective.
 
 

Some spare time for a quick casual shoot. Must applaud the brothers for their sacrifice… sinking their spanking new polished shoes into the muddy soil, and violently scrubbing it right after to continue the end of the day.
  

Touching up at Dempsey.
 
 

The table settings.
 
 

Mini cupcakes surrounding the the main cake at the top.
  
 
 

The couple marching in for their ROM.
 
 

The solemniser/JP for their wedding Mr Tan Yan Boon.
 

The vows exchange. It is very meaningful when couple customise their own wedding vows – something that they will remember for life, will live by, and will hold close to their hearts.
 
 

The solemnisation ceremony usually take about 10-15 minutes. Such a short period of time, but this short period of time is an important committment made that will last you a lifetime. Not simple, and it’s not just a ceremony.
 
 
  
 
 

The couple has this very interesting guestbook. It’s actually a piece of mirror where the guests write their well wishes.
 
 

I love the walkway!
 

Love the textured wall!!
 
 

And the bricks, decor, the feel of the place.
  

The view from outdoor. Really pretty isn’t it!
 

The emcees inviting guests to gather around for the couple’s first march in.
 

A real wedding cake is the best! The couple had a 7″ cake at the top tier of the wedding cake, surrounded by about 200 over cupcakes.
 

They had 3 LCD TVs and 2 projector screens set up all around the lounge and restaurant area so that the guests can also view the ceremonyfrom the different corners.
 
 

Alcohol seems to be the life of most parties (except children’s birthday parties?) and I haven’t seen a wedding without any alcohol, it will be cool to witness one! (: 
 

Bride preparing for the second change.
 

More mingling~ It’s better this way when you personally know most of the guests. :)
 
 

Some time for a quick couple shot to end the entry.

Here’s an interesting time lapse composite from thousands of images taken on the wedding day into a single slideshow which looks like a video. This time lapse is captured from a Groom’s perspective of the Wedding Day – getting off and on the car, gatecrashing, unveiling the bride etc. On the wedding day while Raymond focus on his candid shots, Dominic is the man behind the “Groom’s perspective” where he captured the thousands of images just for this project. It is definitely not an easy task putting all the images together, summarising the entire wedding luncheon into a less than 4 minutes slideshow.
 
 

A break away from the usual montage taken from a third person’s perspective, this time lapse on an actual day wedding is a first in the wedding industry, brought to you by Raymond Phang Photography and Synesthesia. We hope you guys will like it, and if you would like to enquire about this special service, please feel free to drop us an email at contactme@raymondphang.com. Enjoy!

Such a cute moomoo cup of icecream… pink and sweet looking… with the “bodyguards” standing by the sides… This doesn’t seem like a bride’s breakfast or dessert right…
 
 

Fei Ling’s beautiful puffy gown with truckloads of “roses”..
 
 

There’s Caroline from The Wedding Entourage.
 
 

Recently I’m crazy over shoes! No idea why, but I thought the designs are really fascinating, and how someone manage to walk in those 4 or 5 inchers, especially when it looked like their ankles are gonna snap into two any minute! This pair of red heels with giant ribbon really does have the Alice in Wonderland feel. Love it!
 
 

One of Raymond’s favourite image… I thought it look pretty interesting..
 

Fei Ling’s pretty manicured nails! There’s a hat, pair of bunny ears, ace of heart etc to match the theme.
 

More shoes! Since a wedding gown is worn once in a lifetime, I think it will be interesting (but very crazy) to make one out of candy floss! Candy floss gown inspired by Fei Ling’s gown! With all the pretty colors, fluffy and lightweight too! At the end of the wedding it can be a pretty fun novelty for the couple since candy floss is something edible. *coughs*.. But of course provided the gown is not in contact with water, and the couple is not doing any outdoor shoot less the perspirant will melt the entire gown. Heh heh heh. :p
 
 
 

A beautiful portrait of the bride against the backlight.
 

Very minimal decors on the wedding car, unlike the traditional ones where we always see ribbons lining across the bonnet, and ribbons on the door handles.
 
 

Your Reiss cufflinks to aid you in fighting a  losing winning battle, my Lord.

Burn-Your-Pocket Cafe… Hiak hiak hiak hiak…
 

And the war begins…
 

Here kitty kitty, time for some milkshake!
 

Kitty number 1 receive the suspicious looking gooey liquid.
 

And the brave warrior gulped down everything in one shot!
 

Mmmm… Tasty!
 

Sister: “You sure it’s tasty? Don’t lie ah!”

Brave warrior: “Of course! Give me another 3-4-5 cups of those! I must buy for my pretty wife to try!”
 
 

Brave warrior digging his wallet for money… “Shit, forgot to ask how much per cup…”

Advisor: “I think $2 will do!”
 
Brave warrior: “Really? How about fifty?”
 

Brave warrior: Hehehehehe! Bet she must be happy to receive so much for only 3-4-5 cups!
 

And it seems that the transaction went well……
 

Cos we see the Brave warrior working on the next cup!
 

But apparently this one aint as nice as the first one… awwwww…. that’s just too bad!
 
 

Brave warrior didn’t believe so, and he took a sip.
 

Brave warrior: OH MY GOODNESS, I’ve never tasted anything quite like this before! The explosion of flavours bursting in my mouth, running through my palate..OH… I must get another cup!
 

And so the brave warrior made another offer…
 

Sister: “Mister, which flavour do you want?”

Brave warrior ponders: The first one was good… how about the third one? Maybe a mixture of the first through third, with lesser of second and more of first but equal amount of the third’s?
 
Brave warrior: “Now what is THAT?”
 
 

Pretty Sister: “There are some things money can’t buy… and you know what… Heh heh heh! I got the last cup of the limited edition, filled with goodness from Vitamin A – Z and minerals Aluminite - Zinc!!”
 

*Pretty sister gobbles gobbles…*
 

Pretty Sister:” Now don’t say I’m evil, come, I share some with you!”
 
Brave Warrior: Err…. got her saliva… should I….?
 
 

Brave warrior thought pretty sister is a super nice lady, so he decided to pay for the remaining share…
 

But like what pretty sister mentioned earlier on, there are some things money can’t buy… so brave warrior decided to put up a special performance call the Need-To-Pee where they squeeze their legs together…
 
 

And also tried to prove themselves useful by acting like tables and chairs…
 

Actually brave warrior could have saved all those troubles… maybe because he didn’t watch enough movies or have always skipped the commercials, he didn’t know the next line – for everything else, there’s Mastercard. Muwahahahahahaha! Shit, I’m so lame… must be the lack of sleep.
 
 

Anyway the angelic sisters finally decided to teleport the brave warrior through a magical rabbit hole where he was greeted with seven bouquet of roses, with pearls on them. 
 
 

And here’s the gorgeous bride waiting for the brave warrior.
 

The brave warrior gave her the magical wand which is the upgraded version of the oil lamp in Aladdin. This wand can grant any amount of wishes!
 
 

The bride wished for a brave warrior to come rescue her, and with the magical kiss, they live happily ever after…
 
 

That kiss went on forever, and later it teleported them all the way to a beautiful ballroom at Shangri-La.
 

Love this picture for the smile.
 

Ballroom without pillars are getting more and more popular these days with wedding couples. It makes the place appears bigger than it already is and no one’s view will get blocked.
 

The white rabbit in Alice in Wonderland.
 

Gorgeous centrepiece!
  

A harp hiding behind the giant mushrooms!
 

The super beautiful setting…
 

Another perspective from the AV room..
 

Shitake? Portobello? Erynggi? Yellow Oyster?
 

Pornsak the emcee for the night. A lot of adults love him (even my mum!). Very witty and eloquent guy!
 

The little fairies leading for the first march in.
 

Here comes the couple!
 

And the two handsome boys helping to hold the train.
 

One of our favourite image.
 
 

Harpist performing for the guests.
 

If I’m not wrong, Harp isn’t really one of the mainstream instrument here, so I believe most of the musicians are highly trained. The sound from the Harp is really soothing and heavenly… and I like it!
 

At the second change, the couple was invited up to stage for some games after the cake.
 

Time to sabo some people… Hehehe…
  

Yeah, Fei Ling’s red color gown has pretty roses too!!
 

The future wedding photographer. ;p
 

Raymond taking a peek at their answers…
 

And then another peek at the ladies’ answers…
 

It’s really too bad that I wasn’t there, else I would have known what questions were being asked and what answers were given. So here I stress the importance of having a Videographer, or at least someone to record the event so that when you look back, at least you’ll remember.
 

The third change…
 

Brothers and sisters getting ready for the special performance.
 

Another future photographer… Kids nowadays are trained so young and early! Kekeke.
 

And here we go!
 

Hello ladies!!
  

I love these funky glasses!
 

 So pair by pair they danced their way in..

So… who is next?
 

TA-DAH!!! What a handsome pose!!
 

And here’s Yikai!!
 

Now… who is nexttttt?
 

Fei Ling!!
 

Awesome spirit, awesome dance, and awesome crowd!
 

Time for a short little speech, and off to the mingling!
 
 

The groom will never be spared. Kekekeke..
  

Another one of my favourite image to end for the farewell!
 
 
You know we really ought to give the groom a big round of applause! Have you noticed that the groom was all smiles and happy in the pictures? Look at his sleek dance moves and spontaneity during the gate crashing? He was actually very much in pain cos he dislocated his shoulder, and some of the dance moves have to be scrapped away. But yet he locked the pain away and as much as he could, and enjoyed the entire day! He could have call off the whole dance-in segment, but he did not. He could have frowned or not participated in the games, but he did not. That’s 100 brownie points for you Yikai! But we sure hope you’ll recover really soon ya? All the best to you guys, and please send us news if BB is coming along the way ya? Cheers!

On a side note, here are some images from Nicholas and Evelyn’s wedding to share! The couple had their wedding celebration held over a span of two days, and this entry comprises of images taken during Day 1 of their wedding where they had the gatecrashing, tea ceremony and solemnisation. Enjoy!
 
 

I thought this is such a precious collection of images documenting Evelyn’s birthday throughout her years of growing up!!  Not very sure if this was done by Evelyn herself, her parents or her brother, this is simply fantastic!
 

Girls tend to have cuddly toys around…
 
 

Love the contrast and comparison between the two..
 
 
 
 

Here’s Evelyn having her make up done! That’s Irene Soh working on the hair and make up.
 
 

So while Evelyn is getting busy looking pretty, the sisters had to work really hard to make sure the merrymen and the groom gets tortured entertained as much as possible when they arrive later. So here’s one of the sisters smiling sheepishly behind the pages of kungfu manual like the Secret book of Torture - Spell #101: Make them swing the Banana, Ang pow confirm 拿拿拿！
 
 
 

Evelyn wore a super pretty gown, with the entire dress made with layers and layers of lace, unlike most dresses where brides have to wear a can-can underneath to make it puff up like a princess dress.
 

One of the most cheerful brides we have photographed, you’ll see most of the images with her smiling mad happily!
 
 

Here comes the wise and brave warriors! But come to think of it, all the big men squeezing together in the little golf buggyseemed to make my description a little inappropriate. Hmm…
 
 

There’s Nicholas on the extreme right! Wonder what tricks has he got up his sleeves!!
 
 

The sisters inspecting the suspicious looking article.. Don’t know inside got cockroach or not. Eeeew!
 
 

Must be nothing good inside that’s why the sisters had no choice but to proceed with Spell #101.
 
 

The brothers had to put on stylish shower caps and sexy disposable undies. No idea why, but maybe it’ll help boost the effect of the Banana spell. Or maybe because since they’re handling food (banana), so have to take note of hygiene, cannot let any drop of hair fall onto the banana. Muwahahahaha!
 
 

I can’t figure what’s that strange looking tiny balls hanging together with the banana, but it sure look a little *coughs* obscene *coughs*..
 
 

Longans?? *Scratch head*
 
  

“Heh heh heh heh heh, darn you stupid brothers, later you all jialat I tell you… you guys are supposed to be my sword and shield, now why do I need to put this ugly thingy on as well HUH…??”

Okie lah, Tiger year drink Tiger Beer, make the sisters shed some tears! Sometimes alcohol makes things a lot easier…. muwahahahahaha!
 
 

Watch out for the attack of their Swinging Bananas!!
 
 

The swinging bananas were supposed to make the sisters laugh so hard until they shed some tears, but apparently the plan failed… all because of this… Booooooo!! Tsk, if only it’s 100,000 in SGD/USD/EUROS/POUNDS etc….
 
 

Middle Man: “Nicholas has prepared a private jet at the airport waiting for you ladies already. If you open the gate for us, we will hand you the boarding pass to fly to any destination of your choice…”

Lady on Left: “Waaaa, he thinks we stupid. Give us ticket also no use, we still have to spend money for our own shopping… Cannot, must chop their carrots some more.. Pretend pretend to accept their offer first!”
 
 

So the sisters flashed out some disposable plates with the names of the brothers written on it.
 
 
 

The brothers had to pluck out parts of their body hair with the hair tweezer!!!
 
 

“My hair is there!! Right at that spot! I don’t know why all of you cannot see!! I plucked a strand of white hair… Maybe because it’s too white it camouflage and blends in with the color of the plate, so not my fault!”
 
 

The plate will be filled with truckloads of curly hairs if the sisters demanded more. The brothers decided they will all puke at the sight of curly black forest at this rate they are going, so they decided to give in with a cheque offer! You guys can’t really see what’s written on the cheque here, but the cheque is paid to Everyone, amount is Peck on the cheek from any 3 guys…. *Smacks forehead*!!
 
 
 

“Waaaaa… kiss by any 3 guys also not bad, better than going shopping. Kekekekekeke.”Apparently the cheque was good enough to bribe one of the sisters!!
 
 

So they all managed to make their way in~
 
 

The second batch of sisters were alerted of the mayhem at the ground floor, so they stepped up their defence.
 
Poor guy in middle: “Superman is so powerful, he raise one hand already can fly. Maybe I should try and then help Nicholas break down the door to let him meet Evelyn!!”

Sisters saw what the brother was gonna do and luckily they were very well trained to combat even the toughest heroes. 
“Sisters! Let’s raise all pits and tickle at sight without mercy!!”
 
 

Nicholas saw what the sisters did to the brothers, he had to use superglue and glue his pits together.
 

“Hahaha! Heng ah, got my group of good brudder help me deal with the mad sisters! Now let’s see what terms and conditions is written for me…”
 

“Ohhh… …”
 
 

“FWAH!! OK LAH! It’s like COMEX + NATAS + GSS + RPP promo combined altogether!! Quick sign!! HEHEHEHEHE!!! “”
 
 

Finally the lovers meet!
 
 

And they have their “first kiss”… But it was quite an unromantic one because….
 
 

Nicholas actually forgot to remove the sexy disposable undies!! Muwahahahahahahaha!!!
 
 

So they had to redo the kiss again! What a good “excuse” to ask for a second kiss from the beautiful bride ya? =p
 
 

The couple had a beautifully decorated golf buggy to transport them from houses to houses since they both live pretty near each other!
 
 
  
 

Our wedding car shot in motion during an actual day wedding is one of our signature shots. We’ve done harleys, and even a golf buggy!
 
 

One of my favourite shot even though it’s capture of the bride’s backview. Heh heh heh. Arrival at SwissOtel the Stamford for the Solemnisation.
 
 

Evelyn memorising her wedding vows while Irene puts on the make up.
 
 

Time for march-in.
 
 
 

 Love her fluffy puffy gown! I hope it’s not too heavy since it’s not like those which require the can-can.
 
 

Papa Evelyn hands his daughter over to Nicholas.
 
 

Here’s the Justice of peace - Mrs Chia Swee Tin.
 
 

One of my favourite moments – the exchange of the wedding vows.
 
 

You may now kiss the bride~
 
 
 
 

I like this image quite a lot… An image of the little cinderella waiting for her prince with the glass slipper… Very sweet and interesting!
 
 

The future photographer!
 
 

The day was filled with lots of huggies and kisses~
 
 

This is one of Susu’s favourite.
 
 

This too!
  
 

Ladies’ favourite activity~
 
 

Boys’ favourite activity – Pancake tossing!!
 
 

And playing girly!
 
 

Then they play rough. =____=”
 
 

Poor guy held on tight to the VIP thingy and thought it could save his live but boy he was soooo wrong!
 
 
 

Here’s Evelyn’s beloved brother!
 
 

And a self portrait to wrap up the day!
 

Lots of ♥,

The Simple Games

(From Paul & Evelyn’s actual day wedding on 24 October 2009)

Set a dress code, get all brothers to follow strictly. Appear for the gatecrashing with a happy spirit, do whatever you’re told to do by the lovely sisters and you’ll enjoy the happy day! Push ups are pretty common, but push ups are beneficial to your health, so why not? Make the brothers do 100 within 60 seconds! Perhaps with a bowl of eggs placed right below their tummy so that during the last few seconds when they cannot tahan anymore or cos they’re rushing to complete within time, they might land and crash on the eggs, or roll over to the side and bang into the brother next to them, and all of them fall like dominos. Muwahahahaha! You can replace eggs for ice, or water or flour, or anything you desire! (:

BYO- Bring Your Own

(From Desmond & Jolene’s actual day wedding on 25 October 2009)

I think the brothers are smart enough to make it a Two Way Bargaining session. The brothers came prepared, brought their own suitcase of treasure with ang pows. No idea what’s the least and maximum amount in the ang pow, but the sister had to make a choice. Interestingggg…

Scary Foodies

(From Edwin & Eunice’s actual day wedding on 21 November 2009)

Lemons are sourrrrr! How will lemon taste if you coat it with an extra layer of Citric Acid??? Muwahahahaha!! Maybe coat the lemon with citric acid, then rub it on any body part of one of the selected brother….. and…. the groom…. shall…. LICK IT CLEAN! Kekeke.

(From Guan Lim & Jeslin’s actual day wedding on 4 October 2008)

Speaking of Licking, here’s one of our all time favourite gatecrashing game. Guan Lim being the smart aleck, answered TOES to the sisters’ question of “Which part of Jeslin’s body is his favourite.” Tsk tsk tsk, and thus he had to lick off the whipped cream on the brother’s toes. Not all sisters are evil to think of tricky tricky questions to land you in trouble you know. Sometimes they meant well, no harm! :p

(From Andrew & Clarice’s actual day wedding on 11 October 2008)

However there’s always the exception – the Evil sisters. They’ll mix and match the weirdest stuffs on earth like smelly rotten beancurd with perhaps wasabi or bananas or other gooey stuffs altogether. Eeeeew! But weird food stuffs are generally discouraged for fear that the groom and his merrymen will puke and shit in their pants. Don’t let this moment of “folly” spoil the whole day ya?

(From Hiro & Serena’s actual day wedding on 7 December 2008)

Playing on the groom’s fear might be good. Chilli padi or single food stuff are alright, just don’t mix, and don’t use food/drinks that you obviously know the poor groom has an allergy to.

(From Kuan Wee & Pei Yu’s actual day wedding on 31 December 2008)

And for the greedy merrymen, sometimes the prettiest thing might look good, but not necessary taste good.
This evil plate of dish made Kuan Wee spat from the second level to the first, and the poor dog dog sprinted to lick it all up. =_=”

Sexy Sexy – The Role Reversal Game

(From John & Ei-leen’s actual day wedding on 7 September 2008)

The evil sisters somehow enjoy seeing guys dress themselves up as women! So it’s inevitable that the merrymen will have to go through this.

(From Andrew & Clarice’s actual day wedding on 11 October 2008)

Other ways of dressing up the guy. No need for bikini cos bikini looks good only on skin and not clothes! Unless the merrymen strips…. now that’s another question altogether…

(From Hiro & Serena’s actual day wedding on 7 December 2008)

Make them danceeeeee!

(From Jonald & Yutong’s actual day wedding on 7 November 2009)

Such an intimate physical body contact! I think the ladies never fails to go Gaga when they see things like this! Hahahaha! This is Entertainment! :p

(From Jonald & Yutong’s actual day wedding on 7 November 2009)

How about some kissy kissy? Kekeke! Next time shall make them do away with the “safety barrier”!!

(From Jonald & Yutong’s actual day wedding on 7 November 2009)

Next, the brother had to chew off this buns on the groom’s chest cos inside the buns there’s a secret note and they have to follow the instructions written on it to proceed on to the next stage.

(From Jerry & Michelle’s actual day wedding on 6 October 2009)

This is pretty “man”, but pretty R(A) too!! *covers eye*

(From Richard & Wendy’s actual day wedding on 9 May 2009)

What a cute “bra” Richard is holding on close to his chest! He had to sing and dance while wearing this, but being cheeky, Richard even placed it on his head to make it look like… I don’t know, a genetically modified Mickey Mouse? Muwahahahaha!

The Innocent Games

(From Teck Yong & Wanling’s actual day wedding on 20 September 2009)

Create something out of the things the groom really detest, and find ways to make it stay with the groom throughout the entire gate crashing! In this case, the groom really hates Mushroom, so the clever sisters made a super cute mushroom earing and headband for the groom to wear! Real mushrooms! Innocent enough, right?

(From Morrison & Rachel’s actual day wedding on 2 August 2009)

This can be an innocent game, but can be quite a torture as well. You know… with age…. your bones have all stiffened up… so… you can’t really go…. that… L….O…..W…..

(From Koh & Ting Yin’s actual day wedding on 29 May 2009)

An innocent game too! Yoga is fun, yoga is healthy! Has anyone seen Yoda doing Yoga? I think it’ll be funny! Get the brothers to dress up as Yoda and do the Yoga!!

(From Herman & Janet’s actual day wedding on 19 April 2009)

Diapers? Disposable undies? *scratch head* It’s so innocent, kids can join in and play too!

Usually the sisters will draw the initials of the bride onto the diapers/undies and make them wear it on their butt, perform a cute sexy little dance and that’s all. Easy and simple!

Gather the Troops!

(Taken from Lionel & Angel’s actual day wedding on 17 November 2007)

When all things fail, leave it to the elderly!!

Ah-Ma says: “Eh, kui meng ah! buay sai sng liao, xi gan gao liao!” Which literally means, open the door, stop playing, time’s up!! You know how particular the elderly folks are about the auspicious timing? Always recruit a granny in your band of brothers!

(From Win-son & Faith’s actual day wedding on 29 November 2009)

And if the evil sisters make you eat something which you do not want to eat, flash your Ace card and win the battle!

(From Win-son & Faith’s actual day wedding on 29 November 2009)

Ah-ma says humph, 放马过来吧！(release your horse to me). Give me another 10 and I’ll gobble them all the same!! Ah-ma power!!

(From Jack & Grace’s actual day wedding on 1 January 2009)

Make sure they’re all dressed in black to appear scaaaaary! And also please try to include at least ONE charismatic brother. Once you have that in your checklist, half the battle is won. :p

(From Terence & Jann’s actual day wedding on 18 October 2009)

This time round, the poor photographer was roped in to help the sisters with the preparation. They placed lip gloss on Raymond’s lips and he had to put his sexy lipstick mark on the piece of paper together with the bride and other sister’s lipstick marks. But guess which one did the groom picked? Raymond’s!!! Hahahahaha!

Convert thy Enemy, or convert Thyself

(From John & Ei-leen’s actual day wedding on 7 September 2008)

The brother actually tried to bully the poor boy and make him eat the banana on his behalf. Tsk tsk tsk. Luckily boy boy was smart enough not to eat! Attempt at converting – FAIL! :p

(From Kok Meng & Cassies actual day wedding on 3 October 2009)

Poor Kok Meng had to do the push up all by himself!! Noticed that all the brothers did nothing but stood and watch at a side?? Luckily the groom was super duper fit enough to finish everything by himself!! Cassie has gotten herself a fit fit groom! Booboo to the nuanua brothers, and see what the groom has to say in the above image! :p 

Aww so sweet

(From Chye Tuan & Siang Yin’s actual day wedding on 10 May 2009)

Groom and merrymen singing sweet sweet love song for the bride. Look how much the groom is enjoying it. So sweet!!  

Seal the Deal

(From Ho Wei & Eileen’s actual day wedding on 6 June 2009)

Usually the sisters will help the bride prepare a pretty contract like this one, where the groom puts his signature and agree to all the terms and conditions stated on the contract. Conditions such as giving all the monthly salary and bonuses to the wife, promise not to be angry with each other at the end of the day if they ever quarrel, do housework blablala… which I think is pretty bogus! Cos after the couple put both their signature on the piece of paper call the marriage certificate, the terms and conditions stated on this contract automatically becomes invalid. So in order to prevernt such things from happening, engage a lawyer and have a reeeeal one made! :p

The OH-MY-OH-MY GOODNESS!!

(From Jonald & Yutong’s actual day wedding on 7 November 2009)

Have you seen THIS?? Such a scary piece of…. CHOCOLATE!! It’s actually the leftover chocolate from the bride’s hen party the night before. This “creature” was not supposed to be shown and used and displayed to the world, until Yutong’s mummy suddenly thought of it and suggested that they make full use of this for the gate crashing!

(From Michael & Dorothy’s actual day wedding on 19 September 2009)

See, even Michael thought it’s scary! Muwahahaha! Actually no lah, the bride was waking in and at that moment Michael only have eyes for her – the world’s most beautiful bride in his eyes.

.

Okie dokie, end of my sharing! Just a very few tips to share, so hope it’s at least a little bit useful!

(From Paul & Evelyn’s actual day wedding on 24 October 2009)

Have fun!! And be spontaneous!!
