Wedding Album Photo Shoot
Posted on January 19th, 2008 at 11:20 pmUnforgetable. That’s it. Coz we simply can’t find a better word to describe our experience at the photo shoot today.
So here’s a little recap of what happened …
10:00 am
We were punctual. The make-up artiste, Dily, got her stuffs ready and quickly got into action to doll us up. She gave the both of us a 100% transformation. Don’t underestimate the prowess of cosmetics and the magic of what make-up can do. Evon was like a little princess. She looked lovely and sweet in her wedding gown. I was sooooo … mesmerized …
For the very first time in my life, I put on an extremely thick make-up. Errr… I didn’t really dare to smile or to have exaggerating facial expressions fearing that my face may ‘crack’. Haha. I can’t imagine how on earth the ladies can stand make-up, especially the lip-gloss thingy… yucks! Maybe, the prophecy is true … “ai sui mai miah” … want pretty pretty … don’t want life … anything also can …
11:45 am
After our make-up, Dily was very nice to help us take a photograph. This may probably be the only piece that’s FOC 
So, there you have Prince Skinny Pok Pok Charming (ok, dun puke) …. and Princess Ah Bui Bui Lovely.
It’s just a pity we had forgotten to take one before the make-up session, so that we can have a before-after comparison.
11:50 am
Indoor shooting began. Evon and I were quite tensed up for the first few shots. After a while, we felt more at ease and gradually, we began to pose as if we were some 天王天后巨星 (superstars) like Jay and Jolin
We brought along our props … the mIRC posters, the “喜喜” poster, our forever friends bears. Special thanks go out to Priscillia for whipping out those posters for us.
All in all, we covered the AD wear, the evening wear and also the traditional costume wear.
3.20 pm
We set off for our outdoor shoot in the afternoon. We started with several casual shots along the stretch of shophouses at Tanjong Pagar Road. It was amazing how an ordinarily looking street can turn out to be a beautiful back-drop for photo shoot.
Evon fell in love with a lalang scenery when she saw a magazine cover page featuring a French model posing in the lalang surrounding. In fact, both of us were really surprised to be informed that the photo was actually taken in Singapore @ Punggol.
And so, our next destination — Punggol Marina.
We braved the odd weather. Raining then drizzling then sunshine. We braved the mosquitoes and insects. The photographer snapped quite a lot of photos for us in the lalang field.
We also took several interesting shots by the beach too. We had balloons. We had rose petals. We had the clouds, the wind and the sand. Everything was perfect.
7.15 pm
Off we went to the Empress Place and Raffles Place for the night shots. Severals photos were taken outside the Old Parliament house and by the bridge that link to The Esplanade. Most importantly, we took quite a number of concept shots at the Raffles Place MRT exit …. The exact place where we first met. I posed in that exact position … at that very same spot … I stood … nearly ten years ago.
Our prayers were answered. Our dreams fulfilled. We were just thankful for everything.
A word of appreciation to Dily for transforming us into 亮仔亮女 (hunk & babe). Of course, we also must thank our photographer, Alex Oh, for his hardwork and Li Juan, for being our most steady chaffeur to drive us around for the outdoor shoot. Without them, this won’t have been possible.
