It's our pre-wedding shoot with Oh,Dear

Finally we had our engagement photo shoot with Melody from Oh,Dear! photography on 1st Sept 2012.

From our experience, it's a fun and tiring process! But I believe that it's all worth it!! Was praying very hard that the weather will be good to us! And luckily it is! Bright and sunny! 

So before our photo shoot, we had our gown and suits altered and fixed. And I did alot of homework on  hairstyles and my makeup artist managed to braid my hair for me but I didn't get a snap of it! Haiz..

So I choose 2 locations for our shoot! 
1. Armenian Apostolic Church @ Hill Street
2. Garden By the Bay

So we got ready around 1pm to get to our Sattine (bridal shop) for my makeup and hairstyle.
I prepared my own ampules and eyelash but was not used cos they say that it's not suitable. Hmmm...

Anyway, Melody posted some sneak peeks for us to view! I can say it's soooo pretty and I can't wait for the rest of the photos. Which I will received in soft copy in 2 weeks times! (^_^V) 


My childhood friend who helped me on my shoot

My look for that day

Hair let down for the 2nd change of clothing!

These are the sneak peeks from Melody!! Just these 3 pictures already took my breath away!!

We brave thru the heat and the crowd with tons of ppl staring at us... still we had fun!

DIY DIY

I love to DIY stuffs...

With my wedding coming near in 4 mths times, I've been sourcing around for DIY ideas and materials....


DIY your own BLING BLING shoes!!
I think this is a great idea to dress up a ordinary shoes to something that is special & unqiue!! Great for parties and BTBs who is wearing short tea dress or gown!

I super love this!!! I think I will this idea for my wedding dinner reception! It's going to be soo fun!
This is another project that I would love to do!! Esp for my wedding invites! I only hope that my mother  dont ask me to get a all red envelope.

Another esty product that I've been eyeing!1 But I give it a thought to DIY..
So this is my try of the personalized hanger but I realized that with the hollow edge at both side of the hanger, my dress keep slipping down.. So unless I can find a wooden hanger with the hollow edge if not I will probably just get the hanger from Etsy...

I just went to Sattine last week for my outdoor shoot gown fitting!! I'm soo happy that I can fit into my dress!! (^_^V)




Now the only thing I have to train up is my flabby arms!!!! Tooo fat!!

1 more week to pre wedding photoshoot!!

Wedding matters.... What's to be done!!

Came across this article on some wedding blog. Thought it's quite interesting so decided to share it there...

Putting tgt a quick wedding!
  • Get a date.. which currently I do not have.. not a confirm date just a tentative one which is very likely to change. Have been asking my fiance to sit down and decide on a date for our wedding but to him.. he thinks it's no hurry. And he have no wish to find a fortune teller to calculate a good date for us. So guess this have to wait
  • Get the location .. at the early stage of our planing, no confirm venue yet. Can't decide to do a garden wedding at Rochester Park or a small and cosy event in one of the hotel. A small problem... we have small families so the number of tables required at the major hotels... we can't gather enough. Any hotel that is good and affordable and can have at least 11 tables??!! 
  • Get the ring.. Does engagement ring consider??! Hehehhee... Nope.. this is not done yet. As our wedding is going to be in 2013.. so we have no hurry to purchase the wedding bands. So far I would love to have a pair of Love & Co wedding band but got to see if fiance likes any of the design there...
  • Get the vendors... Currently I'm still doing my research... for AD photography & Videography + a photobooth... I've been in love with both One Eye Click & Wishwanders' work... competitive pricing but no confirmations yet. But I'm happy to say that I've already chosen my engagement photographer and also the suppliers for printing my photo album and big canvas frame.. ^^
  • Getting the gown/dress and tuxedo. Well this is consider DONE! Yeah!! My bridal shop packages includes all the actual day needs plus a set of gown n suit for outdoor engagement shoot! But I'm contemplating to purchase a evening gown.... Got to see how's my budget!! hehe 
  • Get a theme... Hmm.. I know that with a theme in mind. Things can be done more easily esp the bridesmaids' dresses and the venue deco... I was actually think about Rustic Wedding and the Classical white, pale pink and green colour theme..
  • Getting the guest list.. This area here, I don't foresee any problems cos it's going to a small n cosy affair with our family, relatives and close friends...
Looking at the bullet points.... Seems like wedding has many stuffs to plan and research.. Luckily the wedding is in 2013...

How to choose a Wedding Photographer???!!!

I came across this picture when I was browsing their Pinterest.

And this interesting fact caught my eye!

Thought it's quite informative though some of the information might not be relevant to Singapore's BTB!

 

 Some tips on choose wedding photographer..

  1. What do you consider your photography style to be?
Photo journalistic pictures have been very popular. The photographer captures events as it happens without alot of posing. Some people prefer more traditional photographs where most of the photos are taken posed.  Many photographers combine both styles very well. Familiarize yourself with the different types of photography before you go shopping so you know what style you like.

     2. Do you shoot colour, black and white or both?

When photography are exclusively shot on film, photographers had to carry multiple camera to capture the event with both colour and black and white. Now with digital photography, everything can be shot in colour and then convert to black and white. Some people say that the artistry of the black and white photos are lost in the conversion. If black and white photography is important to you, you should make sure you love the finished product whether it's shot with film or digitally.

     3. Do you bring a second photographer or an assistant?

Some wedding photographers will bring a second shooter with them while others might only bring someone to carry gears. Make sure you know which you're getting.

     4. Do you work well with videographers?
Videography is an important part of preserving memories. Some photographers work well with them, other find them intrusive. If you want both a photographer and videographer (which I highly recommend) make sure your photographer is aware and happy.

   5. Do you correct your photos?

With digital photography most wedding photographers can fix their photographs. They will take out imperfection, hide some wrinkles and blemish and maybe get rid of that double chin. Find out that your photographer has that capability and if they charge extra for the service.

    6. Will the photographer gives you a high resolution cd of your images?

Some photographers are willing to hand over the rights of your photos so you can have copies printed at will. while others prefer you to purchase reprint directly from them. Find out your potential photographer's policy prior signing the contract.

7. What comes in my photography package?

Photographer charge many different ways. Some charge a shooting fee and then give a credit towards an album other have a complete package that includes shooting time, photos and an album. When making comparison, make sure you know what you are getting.


========================================================================
 Seriously, I didn't know that there's so much knowledge in choosing a wedding photographer. But ultimately, I still think that BTB must like your potiental photographers work. And for me, not only I that I like their photography style.. their package $$ must also suits my budget!!

Food for thought!!

Settled 1 item off the wedding checklist

Yeah!! At least 1 item off the many many never ending list of wedding check list!

It's PRE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY!!

As I want all my bridal stuffs to be a-la cart so i went out to source for a really good and affordable photographer for pre wedding. Initially wanted to go to Hongkong for pre wed photos but after a detailed calculation, cost almost come up to 5K which we both think that it's way to expensive!  And can't be sure that the pre wed style will be what I like.

I've always like vintage style photography.. so went I come across "Oh, dear! photography" I'm elated! So I went to drop an email to check out their price. Was surprised to received their quotation cos it's really affordable and their style is what I like!!
 So after many emails later, we have book a slot and also made the deposit payment... 

Which means..... we have CONFIRMED our photographer!!! Yeah!

Oh, dear! photography is the one!! (^__^v)


Melody, the owner of this company is sooooo popular that she's fully booked all the way till Jul'12... So I managed to book a session with on the 1st Sept! Giving me 6 mths time to search for a wedding dress, go on diet, props and make up artist!

Below are some of my favourite photos from her website!
