Pre-wedding photoshoot

The day has finally come!! The day when I can preview my lovely darling in a wedding gown, all dolled up… OUR pre-wedding photoshoot!! We are doing an indoor shoot at Chris Ling Studios in Orchard in the morning, and then will proceed to do our outdoor photography! Exciting day ahead, so I shall re-think the events of the day.
We have packed our huge luggage bag the night before with all our props for the day! The huge luggage is courtesy of Darling’s mum, the one she frequently brings overseas to bring back all the goodies from abroad…haha, really really huge! I brought my “walking tall” shoes while darling brought her ROM shoes and the newly bought Anna Nuci black crystal shoes. Attire wise, we just brought along our newly bought couple synchronized clothing, which happened to have a purple theme. Next are the props for the photoshoot. The main props are those for the Universal Studios session, comprising of
1) huge plastic heart shaped spectacles,
2) condensed milk cans joined by a rope,
3) Rilakkuma bears,
4) our giant purple lollipop, customized with “I Love You” wordings,
5) bubbles blowing liquid
6) Ring pillow from our ROM
7) green fan to accompany Darling’s CheongSam

Bag of of goodies

We also ordered balloons from the shop near Bugis Iluma. 1 huge pink one and 10 small ones. However, according to shop-keeper, the helium air can only keep the balloons floating for a 7-8 hours, so we can only collect today for best effects!

In the morning, we took a cab to Chris Ling Studios…haha, the cab uncle probably though we going airport with the large bag, sorry to disappoint you…hahaha. Chris Ling studio is actually a private terrace house, upon arrival at about 10.30am, we walked around the house interior, admiring the many themed interiors they have. Our assigned MUA is Angela who came just on time so darling can start to have her makeup hairdo.
Dick is our photographer, apparently he is damn good and is the top 2 photographers of Chris Ling Studios… …we shall see!
Wedding indoor shoot commenced with darling in her White actual wedding gown, Simply Gorgeous!! Then we went through the many rooms and corners of the studios, with darling wearing her actual wedding gown, the Chio Cheongsam and the Victorian style night gown.
After the indoor shoot, we took a short break and ate pizza…before we commenced on our outdoors!
First stop will be Grand Shanghai, but we will need to collect our balloons enroute to the restaurant. Lucky the balloons can be squeezed into a car…HAHA
We were early for Grand Shanghai and there are still customers eating or finishing their lunch. With a professional photographer around, there will always be photo opportunities. In the waiting room, we took a series of pictures, most noticeable is the set where darling is exposing her calves sexily…YUMMY! There is also a series taken through the window panes, super artistic!! Darling totally suits the Cheongsam, super SUI! I am looking forward to darling wearing the cheongsam and walking down the aisle of Grand Shanghai!! Everyone will definitely have a JAWDROP expression!
After Grand Shanghai, we proceeded to Hort Park, Alexandra hill. This is a hill full of greenery and big trees. There is even a rope swing! This place has a perfect setting for a romantic picture series. This is where we shot the pictures of our balloons and the rings. Really got feel. Carefree, happy, having fun together, these are the feelings portrayed in this series.
Last but not least, there is 1 place which is strongly associated with us… …my close friends will know… UNIVERSAL STUDIOS SINGAPORE! Where else right? We both held the year pass for USS and We went there at least 6-7 times?? Haha, knew the place inside out! The universal studios set is extremely fun!!! Dick is really creative and talented in taking candid photos. He also makes sure that we used all our props that we brought along!! Darling is so natural and relaxed when taking pictures in USS!! I think being familiar with the place has its benefits. =) We did some extraordinary stuff in USS, darling and me both attempting stunts which we will never thought of doing, if not for this photoshoot. We totally love the photos from USS and have a strong feeling that the USS photos will turn out to be the best!!!

We totally enjoyed today’s photoshoot and even though Dick keep saying he wants to vomit blood and shouted his voice hoarse…we are sure he enjoyed it as much as we do!
