AC+DC :: A Red Hearts and Glittery Engagement

February 3, 2012

In case you were curious, no, they aren’t fans of the band. Adelene and Daryl came up with ACDC through the combination of their initials.

Their shoot was a joy to conceptualise, what with Adelene’s love for all things quaint, which we were determined to have shine through. We had fun from the get go, from setting the theme, to finding the locations, making and sourcing for props and of course, the shoot itself. Such that no one minded one bit when the day was over and we were all covered with sand and glitter after the beach location. Coincidentally, the beach was symbolic for them; it was where they got together, and where he proposed.

I’ll have to say though, the greatest satisfaction for me was when I went through the first edit with them and Adelene says, “Daryl looks so handsome.”

That brings a smile to my face.

Lin & Marc :: An Epic Bubbly Fun Engagement Session

January 9, 2012

posted in Engagements, Portraiture

Lin and Marc have personalities that complement each other so well, and they tell me it is a chemistry that is exacerbated by their love for rabbits. They love them so much that they wanted to incorporate them in the shoot but were unable to find the multitude of bunnies that was needed to fulfil the fantasy. However, we were adamant on being uncompromising on the level of fun so I broke out the glue bubbles! I knew there was going to be a use for them when I bought a box full of those tubes in Melaka. Our favourite shot is the one where the bubble Lin was in the midst of blowing came out in a shape of a heart (I have to admit I did minute nudging to make the shape more pronounced). We also tried out the glo-jar idea I came across from Pinterest for the evening part of the shoot.

They also had a catch-phrase all through their wedding-planning. They kept on saying, “It will be EPIC!”

And yes, it was.
