Uncategorized, Wedding WEDDING – the pre-shoot 18 December 2009

Yeah… I know I’m extraordinarily late with our wedding photos.

We only just got ’em back from the photographer, d’oh! It also took us ages to select the ones we wanted.. as we had to choose 300 out of about 3,000 (!!) shots. Madness πŸ˜› But we finally got ’em back so I will start posting them all and blogging that one very special day in our lives πŸ™‚

For now, here’s the Pre-wedding shoot photos. All taken in Shanghai… in the SWELTERING HEAT OF SUMMER. I can’t even describe how hot hot hot it was!!! If you thought Singapore was hot and humid, it ain’t got nothing on Shanghai. It was so hot we were soaking through our clothes.. my hair was limp and wet and makeup had all melted off my face.

Was pretty amusing as we were actually angry and hot and bothered through the whole shoot, and scowling away. Then the photographer would go “SMILE!” and we’d have to grin accordingly. We were convinced the photos would show us all flustered and sweaty and disgruntled.. but surprisingly we look really cool and calm in them. Photos are deceiving πŸ˜‰

But I’m happy with how they turned out. I like all the scenery and really loved how we captured parts of Shanghai in it. We made it all into a photo album since it makes for great memories – both to remember our pre-wedding photoshoot and also to remember our time in Shanghai πŸ™‚


Strolling in Yu Yuan garden

On a typically busy Shanghai street

A scary looking lion

At the famous zigzag bridge (there’s some significance that zigzag
is better than straight bridges, for some reason..)

Looking very happy πŸ™‚

Checking out fish in the pond. I’m hanging onto my fan for dear life
cos it was sooooo hot!

Bliss πŸ™‚

Chris picked the design/fabric of the dress, a traditional Chinese qipao. Like it? πŸ™‚

My #1 favourite shot. Looks like an ad for Starbucks, haha! It was candid,
the photographer was actually outside the cafe, snapping us inside.

Wandering around outside

In XinTianDi

Such a model-y shot, haha

We randomly sat down at one of the cafe’s tables πŸ˜‰

In the park directly outside our apartment

Swept right off my feet!

We look so cool and comfortable. We weren’t. We were sweaty and angry!

IT’S FUZZY TIME!!!!!

Those pics are really great! I love your sexy hot pins and the shoes ;p manz, sexyyyyyy lol…. at least u dun hv to pose ard in crazy thick wedding dresses lol

Did you find that 300 photos were enough? I’m meeting with photographers now and one of them lets me choose 400, but compared with other photographers who give you all the photos, 400 feels like too little.

Yes WAAAYYYYY more than enough! At first I thought we would need heaps more, but at the end of it, we didn’t actually choose enough, and had to add in a few to make the 300.

They were sooo hard to grab a hold off for the pics tho! they got excited being in teh park and went crazy running everywhere πŸ˜‰

Oh thank you, that’s really nice of you πŸ™‚
Heh that pic was not as breezy as it looks, we had to ‘hold that pose’ until my thighs and neck were sore πŸ˜‰

lovely pictures! especially like the ones taken at the park.

was in shanghai last year during summer. it was so hot i felt like losing my temper all the time!

lovely pics! you look really great in all of them. chris also not bad lah. haha… he’s gonna scold me for that!
you should approach starbucks and sell the pic to them πŸ™‚

Love love LOVE your photos. You both look fab! I think I visited the place where you took the photos with the fish! Can’t wait to see the wedding day photos!

I LOVE all these pictures! I recently did my friend’s hair and makeup for her pre-nup pictures and I must say, it’s extremely tiring – and after the hair and makeup, I was just chilling! Being “models” for a day is a hard job!!

Yeah it was WAY tough.. we were exhausted by the end of it, not to mention it was so sweltering hot we sweated through our clothes.. it was gross , haha
