I went for my first wedding photo shoot today and no, I am not getting married, but rather, my cg members, Hui Nah, and Cris are. Hui Nah called and asked if I could give her a hand (you know, carry bags, hold umbrella up, pass tissue, hold small fan, and the likes) and you never say no when a friend asks you for help. (ya right.)

So they picked me up and we reached the Tanjong Pagar studio at about 11am. Then it was just waiting, putting make up, doing hair, changing costumes and taking photographs. We left the studio close to 6pm (it was really really long) and proceeded to the Botanic Gardens and the Singapore Indoor Stadium for outdoor shoots. What are the perks I hear you ask? Well, I got to see what a whole wedding photo shoot is about, got to go to the Botanic Gardens where I have not been for more than 10 years, and saw beautiful brides-to-be in the studio.

And of course, I get to see the photos first hand! Here are some of the photos that we snapped secretly (photographer won't be happy if we stand there with our digital camera and snap while he is snapping), on my lousy nokia 6230. The photos are taken from a distance. (what do you expect? it's only a sneak preview. not fun if I take up close right? :P )

There are plenty of photos. So don't say you have not been warned.. Here goes:

Putting on make up, and doing their hair.. Hui Nah..



And then it was Cris turn..



A rather "unglam" manner of wearing her heels..





Now it looks more glam..



Simon the photographer, talking to the bride and groom about their likes and dislikes. What good customer service..



Simon helping Hui Nah to pose..



And it turned out like this..



Then it was Cris's turn to pose..



Look what I found on the wall of the studio. Pretty FANNtastic!



My favourite shot..



Da Chang Jin and Mr Samurai???



This is Professor Tan, renowned photographer who lists Fann Wong, Jacky Cheung, Sammi Cheng, David Tao as celebs whom he has worked with @ work with the other couple in the studio. He was drinking a whole bottle of Palace Wine and yelling instructions as he took their photographs. Cost an additional S$1500 for his services. You decide if he's worth it or not. I think he is also the boss..



Now, it's time to go outdoors. This is the mercedes that drove us to our destinations. It is a formal bridal car, and you'll be amazed at how much leg space we have. Can easily sit 5 people at the back. 2 sitting on the floor of course. Nice uncle chauffeur too..



Never looking back..



The beautiful waterfall at the Botanic gardens (backview)..



Lovely isn't it?





I'll never let you down..



Never letting you go..



The hand bouquet..



And finally, to the indoor stadium..





And guess who we saw running past us? It's none other than the superfit Thow Wee who was running from Great World City (his work place) back to his home at Tampines.



That's all! If you wanna see clearer and nicer photographs, then you gotta wait. This is only the starters.
