During all these years of filming weddings, we’ve come across much cross-cultural weddings. A cross-cultural wedding is interesting with its unique touch to portray different customs. It shows that love has no boundaries. Jeremy is a local Chinese with a Taiwanese mum and Joanne is an Eurasian with an Eurasian dad and Filipino mum. For Jeremy, there is the tea ceremony where the couple pays respects to the seniors by serving tea and receive red packets in return. Whereas for Joanne, they have a family party where family members and relatives have wines, cakes, toasting and loads of well wishes for the bride who is leaving the house for the last time as a single. The blending of the 2 cultures gives a unique taste to this beautiful wedding that we have the pleasure of filming.

This is a short film based on the true love story of Dylan and Joanne. What’s interesting about this film is that we try to tell their story in a different presentation style and move more in the direction of a short film than a music video or a dramatized documentary and we think it worked out well.
We had great fun shooting this film. As there were many locations to cover, we had to move and shoot fast. For most of the shoots, we were blessed with good weather. However, it started raining when we were about to shoot the 2nd last scene (Dylan’s phone call with his mum in the car). We decided to change the original indoor scene to an outdoor car scene, braving the rain with an umbrella. With Dylan and Joanne in the car on a rainy evening, this further heightens the air of romance of the story.

A lovely wedding which we had great fun filming. I have to admit that locally it’s rare to have the bride do up her makeup in a salon instead of her home. The day starts at around 6am and after the makeup, we went back to Hannah’s apartment (across the road) for the rest of the preparation. It was a good day filled with great weather and sunlight which gave much energy to the day and is a good representation of the fun-filled characters of both Cas and Hannah.

It may come as a surprise to most people that Kenneth and Adeline only knew each other for 6 months when Adeline accepted Kenneth’s proposal. Even though they are together for a short period of time, they have talked about compatibility and marriage. In fact, Kenneth has this compatibility matrix where the both of them measured near 8 on the scale of 1-10! They share the same goal in life, sports, jobs and even rear the same breed of dog. They know exactly what they are looking for and what they are going into. Both of them have great sunshine personalities and both love dogs and running. A true blessing that they have found each other. Oh yes, and not to forget their canine companions – Kaiser, Hiccup and Bibi.
When we first met up with Kenneth & Adeline, we knew we were going to have a blast at filming them. With such an outdoor-loving couple, most of the scenes were done out in the sun. Kaiser and Hiccup attracted much attention when we were out shooting. One memorable scene that we shot was the dog competition. As it was a real competition, we had to be fast on our feet as well as there wasn’t much chance for a retake. During the competition break, we were only given 10 minutes to film the scene where Adeline tripped and fell. It was basically a shoot-and-move-on kind of pace.
Their wedding date marks the first year of them together. See if you can spot their wedding date (in numerals) in the video.
This is an intensive 1 day videography workshop for beginners who are new to shooting video with HD-SLR such as Canon 5D Mark 2/3. 7D or 60D etc. We will go through all the various techniques and share our technical knowledge on camera handling, setup and settings, lightings, audio and post production etc. For folks who wish to master the fundamental skills that enable you to shoot private functions such as wedding, birthday party, holiday trips or your own short film, this is the workshop for you!

When we first met up with Desmond and Hsing Ying to discuss their wedding, we knew that they are a very special couple. Having knew and been together with each other for 13 years (since JC days), it doesn’t take long for one to feel the strong and certain love they have for each other over these years. For their wedding, they rented 3 villas, one above the other by the beach and the ceremony was held at one of it. As Bali is a favorite short getaway holiday destination for them, it makes perfect sense to seal their promises and vows there.
Instead of filming and editing the piece as a regular wedding day film, we decide to present their story more intimately by striking a balance between showing the wedding day event and a very personal interview with the both of them recalling their first meeting and how they get together. We remember Desmond told us that whenever they come to Bali, they love to hang out and relax with each other at the villas, hotel and beaches. Thus we decided to film them hanging and enjoying each others company around their 3 villas and beaches. We believe this is a very good representation of their usual holiday routine and by having this approach the audience will have a better understanding of their personalities and love story.
As you can see from the film, the interview gives a very good introduction of the earlier part of their love lives, and the ceremony vows further strengthen their love commitments. As a wedding film-maker, our belief and philosophy towards wedding film has always been story driven over visual candies and this is the reason why Desmond and Hsing Ying approached us right from the start.

During the wedding preparation stage, we didn’t have a chance to meet Vinnie + Nicole as they are both based in the States. It was only until a week before the wedding day that we finally had the chance to meet and to know this lovely couple more in-depth. Nicole has a very capable mum who plays the one-time wedding planner and everyone knew that she was instrumental in the success of the wedding.
The day started later than what we usually film and having the absence of gate-crashing games enables us to focus more on the story flow presentation as the day unfolds itself naturally.
Nicole was the kind of bride that we always love to capture. Never worried about how things will turn out, and always full of smiles.
After meeting Vinnie and Nicole and getting to know their personalities and the wedding day, we knew that we want to approach this film with a slow soundtrack and edit it in a heart warming fashion with a good dose of dialogues which is a good representation of their characters.

Yudi and Farica have an interesting start to their relationship. Each of them has 2 loves at the volleyball court; love for each other and love for volleyball games. It is very rare to film a bride and the bridegroom playing volleyball in their wedding gown and suits! Instead of having the usual photo-shoot session after the church ceremony, we decided to proceed to a nearby sport halls to have a game.
