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 😛 But we finally got ’em back so I will start posting them all and blogging that one very special day in our lives 🙂
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 😉
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 🙂
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 🙂
Checking out fish in the pond. I’m hanging onto my fan for dear life
cos it was sooooo hot!
Bliss 🙂
Chris picked the design/fabric of the dress, a traditional Chinese qipao. Like it? 🙂
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 😉
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!!!!!
RAWR
Action shot (though Chris had to hold ’em still)
A family photo 🙂
These are lovely. You could never tell you were feeling how you described above! Thanks for sharing! I think my favourite shot is the last one.
YeH I was surprised that we looked pretty calm in them, haha!

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
Hee thank you hon 🙂
Ohh we did post in our wedding clothes – on our wedding day! It was exhausting too, hah
Fantastic photos! I love the white dress you had on in the last couple of pics 🙂 The qipao is awesome too!
That was actually just a casual dress I picked up for cheap in Singapore, but I like how summery it is!
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.
One word Beauitful!
THanks hon 🙂
in the park photos are the best i feel! nice 🙂
They’re the most natural ones for sure.. plus our fuzzies were there, yayyy

Great photos! You look amazing!
Thanks! It was unbearably HOT but worth it now that we have the pics 🙂

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 😉

Really lovely and sweet pictures 🙂 The dresses, particularly the qipao, are really gorgeous!
Thanks hon – got the qipao made in Shanghai! 🙂
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
Beautiful pics. I love the ones with the ferrets.
Hehe yours and our family pics are so cute! you should display yours at your wedding too:)
I’m hoping to – just need to get them printed in time!
