We’re going to be in San Francisco!

Having recently received an invitation to do a bridal shoot in San Francisco, Wendy & I will be embarking on a return trip to the very beginning of our relationship, and boy do I have a deal for all you folks looking to do overseas bridals with me. For those not in the know, Wendy and I met in San Francisco back in 1996, and we spent the next 7 years of our lives together before returning to Singapore in 2003. We literally had to travel halfway round the world to find each other, and were married on 11th November 2005.

After much discussion with my dear wife, we couldn’t think of a better way to make this trip to San Francisco a more memorable one for us, than to share the experience with you!

As always, my road trips with clients entail more than just taking pictures in beautiful places. We’ll be bringing you around our memories and sharing our stories, in an attempt to create your very own. By the time you’re done with the shoot, you’ll be wishing you didn’t have to leave! Fret not, ’cause you’ll have a wedding album that others can only dream of.

As part of our 5th wedding anniversary celebrations,couples who sign up for shoots in San Francisco during this period will not be charged airfare and accomodation costs! Shoots will take place between October 17th – 31st, 2010.

Do drop me an email at sfo@reflection.sg or amosleong@reflection.sg, should you like to embark on this epic journey with us!

I’ll be outta here from the 20th – 25th of January 2010, doing a shoot in Ko Samui! WOOOHOO! I’ll still be available via email during this time. Appointments may be scheduled from the 26th of January onwards. SEE YA!

December 23rd marked the final job of the year for me, and I couldn’t ask for a better wedding to close off 2009 for me. Thank you Ziyao & Jean, for taking really great care of me during your wedding day, and I trust these teaser images of mine will bring back memories of the 23rd, as we bid farewell to 2009 and embrace what 2010 will bring. Love you guys!

Broke my record yesterday covering the smallest wedding celebration in my career. 8 people, including the JP and myself, were present to witness the union of Jorgen & Stacy. Small weddings are great – the people, the simple & private atmosphere, and the absence of any commotion. The silence gave everyone the chance to soak in the reality of the occasion. I am extremely happy to have been given the opportunity to witness the ceremony, which happened quietly atop a little hill at the Botanic Gardens.

Took this group shot of Sharon’s siblings on her wedding day.  I love black pianos that are clean. Hahaha!

There are days when I wonder why I do this for a living, and then along comes a wedding that puts that wonder to rest once again. A part of Lynn’s speech gave me a better appreciation of “Thank You” speeches, and carved a more personal reminder of how much I regret not giving one on my wedding day. Yes Wendy, I know you told me so.

My parents don’t visit my this blog of mine, and I doubt they even know it exists. Nevertheless, one day when the time is right, I may pluck up the courage to tell them how much I respect them, love them, and thank them for how much they’ve done for me.

In Lynn’s words,”Thank you Mom, for making this perfect for me.”

10 years is a long time.  I haven’t even been back in Singapore for that long, and yet See Teck & Sharon have been living thousands of miles apart for that span of time. Hats off to the both of you, but I hope going through the customary wedding ceremony will spur you guys on.

Auntie. There’s no better time than now.
(AND NO – IT’S NOT 12 INCHES)

Yesterday was one of the proudest moments of my life.  I was awarded a Licentiate grade for my Master Photographer grading, along with about 20 other photographers of various fields including wedding photography.  The work starts now, as I’m aim to get my Associate grade next year….possibly even a Fellow grade if I manage to find the right switches to flick.

Les Brown once said, ” Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you’ll land among the stars.”

Captured this image back in 2008, and as my life progresses, I find that my editing work changes accordingly. As we evolve as husbands & wives, brothers & sisters, son & daughters, so will our preferences in life…hopefully for the better.

That’s right folks! I’m headed off to Tokyo this evening, and won’t be back in Singapore till the 16th of October 2009. Should you have any lingering questions about what I can do for your photography needs, send me an email, and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
