Super Duper Happy New Year

It has been a year since i published this blog. It not only serves as a platform to showcase my work but most importantly to document my journey as a wedding photographer. Not having any mentorship or guidance, i discover new technique through trial and error.... reading the blog of top wedding photographers... comparing images... establishing my own style yet making sure it is acceptable to the market... its never been easy... but i am glad that i came this far... :)

There are a lot more to be done.. n hopefully 2009 will be as fruitful... :)

ok... time to pop some champagne...

From all of us (1 photographer, 1 photographer's babe, 1 jack russell and 3 schnauzer) at

little.RED.dot photography:

we wish all readers a Super Duper Happy New Year....

Pleasant Surprise!.. :)

Had a pleasant surprise today... its from one of my couples... n its really unexpected... they actually got me a gift... this simple token... really meant a lot to me... its a token of appreciation.. an appreciation to my work... and i am really glad that i do make a difference in their wedding... living up to expectation... u know i really dont expect a client to go all out to do this.... J&S... both of you are really sweet... really thoughtful... and i truly appreciate this token of appreciation... :)

Jai & Rekha... the cuff link is really nice... will make good use of it during those wedding banquet :)...

do take care and hopefully we meet again someday... :)

NOTE

* i will be spending christmas on an Island Getaway... woohoo!*

For enquiries, pls drop us a mail at info@littleREDdotphotography.com...

Will get back to you when im back.. Cheers n Merry Christmas!

Nicholas & Rebecca... Slideshow

When i first got an enquiry for my services from nicholas... i thought it was a scam mail... because of its email and the tel no. stated on it... not only that it is from an overseas contact... it's from Africa... you know how those African/Nigerian Scam works... so i was pretty amused and play along with it... but soon i realised that it is a genuine mail from a really nice singaporean who is based in Africa.. silly me...

Both Nicholas & Rebecca have been very nice to us... making sure we have our meal and most importantly, enough rest... u know how some couple would push u to the max juz to make their money worth it... Their wedding was one of the most enjoyable wedding to document... with all the nice companies... the fun and sporty bridesmaids and groomsmen.... the friendly videographer who produced a wonderful and entertaining xpresshighlight... :)

Oh did i mention that Rebecca is practising law, so i was pretty worried with my amateurish drafted agreement.. :P... but i was told it was very well done... phew.. haha... at least now i know this agreement is well in place... :)

without further ado... i present to you the wedding of Nicholas & Rebecca

PS: Nicholas & Rebecca - it's really nice knowing both of you...

will get in touch with you when the album is done... :)

N&R Sneak Preview...

It has been a hectic month for me...

still i wont miss this wedding for anything else... this is a wedding where i was engaged to do what i do best... which also meant.. no group photos.. at least for me.. :) they have another photographer to do that... with 2 photographers and 1 videographer around... i never felt lonely at all... :)

Usually during the dinner... photographers/ videographers would hang around while the guests dine... occasionally, some really nice couple would also leave us a seat... In this wedding, Nicholas's dad actually invited us to the table... i really appreciate this simple gesture of kindness ... now i know where nicholas got his trait from... :)

here a sneak peek frm that joyous day...

This is gonna be my last wedding for this year...

Will be flying off to an island getaway in a few days time...

i will be back... so stay tune for the slideshow... :)

ok back to clearing my backlog... :)

J & H... Xpresshighlight

i am tired... but i cant sleep... 

got back home rather late yesterday... the wedding of Jialun & Huimin has been a blast... with one of the most disgusting (im talking abt the food) gatecrashing one wish they never experience... at least for me :).. i muz said the sisters have done the bride proud :)...  

its has been a long time since i covered their ROM... n its like meeting up with old friends... usually i dont blog about couple parents... but for them... their parents rock... they are really nice people... Jia lun's father look exactly like him... exactly from the same mould.. :P and the character of humin's mum is exactly like her... shy.. quiet and very gentle... its been a year since i met all of them... and i am really glad to see them again... really enjoyed myself...

done an Xpresshighlight for them.... its really stressful... but i think i work better under stress.. :P.. J&H previously requested a song for their slideshow.. however i really think they need something more upbeat to match the feel of my photos.. i am glad that they r open to my idea.. 

In the highlight.. i was also able to get hold of one of the gatecrashing video taken by the jiemei... n it really make the whole slideshow more interesting... 

thank to that jiemei for the video... its very well taken :)...

So here you go... the xpresshighlight for Jialun & Huimin....

Gregory & Jennifer... Sneak Preview!!

I was feeling a bit gloomy today... till i got this SMS from the bride....

Quote:

" Hey thanks Alvin.. Lots n Lots of thanks.. Sorry for the long long day u had... We really really love e express highlight.. All my guest loves it too.. Gregory n me really  look forward to e photo album.. Anyway be prepare to have lots of work k.. Cos you are so popular n they really love what you shoot.." 

Suddenly... i see light... :)... it really brighten up my day.... strange enough... i dont feel like this when i receive my pay cheque... :)

Did i mention that the dinner banquet reminds me of that chinese series "little nyonya"... its the gathering of the young and old babas and nyonyas... pretty cool!

G & J... Xpresshighlight

Having to wake up at 4 am and ending at 11 pm... its' really tiring... but i must say i will never miss yesterday's wedding for anything else... really enjoyed the company...

Gregory & Jennifer have a bunch of fun loving brothers & sisters...

most are from the healthcare industry... i never felt any safer with them around :P ....

Gregory has always wanted my Xpresshighlight, however looking at their schedule... its almost impossible to rush it out.... so not wanting to disappoint him... i have earlier told him that it will not be possible... but in my heart... i was telling myself... ok... lets try it out...

After that very few hrs of stressful uploading and xpress editing... here is the xpresshighlight that was screened during their banquet...

PS: Xiao Jie & Husband-to-be :)

Thanks for fetching me so early in the morning and dropping me home in the afternoon...

PS: to one of the Sister i sat nxt to during the banquet

Thanks for saving the food for me when i was busy shooting... really appreciate it.. really... :)
