“Hi Jhong Ren,

Can I check with you what are the essential stuff and things to do and bring during indoor and outdoor photoshoot?

Thanks,
Shelen”

Hi Shelen,

I would like to reply you in the form of a post so everyone can benefit. Hope that it is ok with you. 🙂

A breakdown of schedule for your wedding photoshoot. Again, this is a rough estimate as different bridal studios have different practice.

For mine at Seletar Boradway, it was like:
9am: report to studio
10am: make-up by make-up artist
11am to 2pm: Indoor shoot for wedding gown, evening gowns, Chinese Kuas and other costumes if any

2pm to 3pm: Lunch
3pm to 5pm: Continue with indoor shoot
5pm to 9.30pm: Outdoor phootshoot at two venues

Titlle: Happy Wedding Day Liz

“Let champagne pour and glasses rise
Our Liz’s getting wed
She’ll no longer be Miss Cohen then
But Mrs. Goldstein instead

She chose me as Maid of Honor
(I guess turn about’s fair play)
But I guess I always knew
It would be me someday

Since back in Kindergarten
We’ve been best friends, of course
Ever since old Mrs. Baker
Made you be by force!

From morning calls to match our clothes
To dreaded marching band
Where you sort of, kind of, played the bells
While working on your tan

Before the invention of video camera, men only have normal photo-taking cameras to capture the wonderful moments of life.

Even with the invention of video cameras, I realised that we seldom watch the wedding video. Guests easily get bored with lengthy or poorly produced wedding videos.

However, interestingly you realised that people love flipping through wedding albums and the wedding photographs are the ones which help to tell the wedding stories of the wedding couples even though they were just still shots of that particular moment.

This is exactly what I look for from the work of a real wedding photographer.

Again, everyone of us has different preference and it will be wise to choose the photographer of the style that you like.

At styleweddings.sg, I found the site of “Gabriel Mendes Photography”. I contacted the photographer, Gabriel who was very kind to share with us some of his best photos.

One thing in his “About Me” page in his blog caught my attention.

It says “My style is all about capturing the fun and romance in an unique, exciting way ? isn?t what a wedding should be all about?”

I myself take photos too and I enjoyed capturing moments of life. This should be what you may probably be looking for in your wedding photographer, someone who loves doing what he does and at the same time, having fun.

With fun and passion, the photographer will produce very good work.

Just to post something light for this weekend, I want to share with you a poem.

This is poem in this post is a contribution from a friend, Amy who owns a poem website called www.Poemstogo.tv

In any case if you wish to present a wedding poem instead of a wedding speech as a gift, you can always go to this poem website for reference.

So here you go:

This is an example of a real life anniversary poem Amy created for a loving couple from their darling grand daughter.

Title: Happy 60th Grandma and Grandpa

“Dear Grandma and Grandpa,

Grandma and Grandpa, all those days
Living and loving in your ways.
Gosh oh gee it?s really fine,
Look what?s coming November 2-9!

Anniversary day for this great pair,
A day for walking on the air.
Grandma and Grandpa, can it be?
A number north of?wow?sixty!

It caps a life, it begs a coda
To the golden duo of Sarasota.
So many years of wedded bliss
Just so great it?s come to this.

Still so young in all your ways,
Fun in life- – an ongoing phase.
And how about the way they flirt?
In love as ever ? so easy to assert.

And what a life, right at the core
They had daughters who number four.
Eleven grandkids bring up the rest
And four great-grandkids ? that?s the best!

Grandma and Grandpa, oh me oh my!
Luxuriating out on your lanai.
And lest we be accused of babble,
So nice the way you still play scrabble.
