The missing link.... 3 years after


As a photographer, good referrals are worth more than a full page ad on a magazine. Alvin and Wendy got married in 2005, and annoyingly, still look as youthful when I met them in Hawaii this year. Alvin was one of the groomsman, and was the link to Joel & Susan who then engaged Moomedia for their wedding in Hawaii. Wendy taught me where to shop and what brands to buy, and educated me on the existence of Tokidoki. Thanks Alvin & Wendy, it was a fun few days.

I left my heart in San Francisco.


SF is a wonderful place for photos. Its such a vibrant city, with so much to see and do. The Golden gate bridge and it's very steep streets are just some of the well known landmarks. The bride braved freezing winds by the bay. I was in my jacket and my fingers felt numb, imagine what my brides often have to go through. In Singapore we call it "ai sui mai mia".

Bridal shoot in Jurassic Park!


This shot was taken at the location where the opening sequence of Jurassic Park 1 was filmed. Apparently some parts of the chasing scenes of JP2 as well. We were shooting by the fence and the owner or someone who works at the site was driving in. He was kind enough to let us in and gave a little visual tour of where Spielberg used for his movies. Incidentally, JP1 premiered 15 years ago! Gosh I feel old...

The bride saw this picture recently and commented that she wished there were dinosaurs in the background, a T-rex but I figured this is more gentle. Here it is.. in pure fun.

Kauai island is known for its relatively untouched landscape. Waimea Canyon is touted as the grand canyon of the pacific, and having been to the grand canyon myself, I feel that it is still a sight to behold.
