It all happened so fast.

Just a bare two weeks before making his big move, Raymond approached me to help him document down the proposal. Together with a small group of close friends, they decorated the room while Manling was having lunch with her own colleagues -- as pre-planned by Raymond of course!

Strangers shaking hands and sharing the excitement, it was a nice sight to see different groups of Raymond's friends coming together to help him with the proposal.

Here's how it turned out!

Yuan Li + Lucinda FDE


I think I've found a new favourite place to shoot weddings at with Yuan Li and Lucinda's wedding at Sofitel. The place was so spacious and laid back, a perfect fit for both their characters. Because of that, Kelvin and I had a really good time "working" with them on the wedding day and we are happy to have made two new friends along the way. Hope you both have started packing your bags, enjoy the honeymoon guys! :)

Andrew + Wanling | A Lego Story


You know how I always talk about wanting to try out new things in my work and to always want to have more collaborations than me just churning out videos after videos like a soul-less factory? Well, here is another great example of me doing that!

When Wanling came to me she, was looking at the possibility of having a Lego stop motion story. Mostly also because the video is meant to be a surprise for Andrew (so we cannot involve him in the shoot) and that Wanling has a collection of Lego sitting nicely waiting to be played with.

So with the extra sets she borrowed from some friends, both of us set to work -- together.

Boy I would be lying if I said this was an easy job. I would also be lying if I said I wasn't nervous getting started on it. Wanling and I spent hours just working on one scene and we had quite a few in the video! I shot some scenes alone as well and I can tell you it is helluva back-breaking job requiring tons of patience and concentration. So with at least 10hrs of stop-motion making, I sure learnt a lot of the Do's and Don'ts during this process.

And then there's the post-production. I have to make sure I have enough frames just for one action/angle during production or I got to go back to the boards and make more (and trust me, you don't want that).

This was new territory for both of us. I had done stop-motion before, but not to this level! So I am appreciative how Wanling was equally as excited to help me out with this video as I was to get a chance to try something new. And for that I am grateful. It also felt like we had achieved something together, making this video as much as it is mine as it is hers.

And that is why this is one of my more treasured works.

Stephen & Kiki FDE


This wedding has got everything: Fun people, a magician, lovely location, great decorations, perfect weather and most of all..it got my heart.

Stephen and Kiki are such genuine and easy-going people Kelvin and I had a breeze working with them (and their families!).

I love that everything was really laid back..so much so that Kiki even had some time to help out with the decorations at the reception table herself! I love that they were not overly worried about things potentially going wrong on that day and it felt like they just enjoyed being there.

Most of all, I love both their vows. After 7 years or so of working on weddings, one thing that always still gets me is a vow from the heart :)
