Adam & Shikin

August 11th, 2008

It’s odd, to think about it. Last year, on the auspicious July 7th 2007, I was shooting a Sikh Wedding. Fast forward about a year, where everyone deem the 8th August 2008, or the 888 an auspicious lucky date. I was shooting Adam & Shikin’s wedding. To think majority of my clients were chinese, I thought it’s kinda oddball, 2 years in a row. I wonder when comes to 9th September 2009, what are my options. Psst, I am not booked yet.

Both Adam and Shikin engaged me as their wedding photographers more than a year ago. They had to. Both Adam and Shikin were not in the country til almost the same week of their wedding. I am bless with clients like this where they put in their absolutely trust in me for showing up at their wedding, doing what I do best. I thank them, and thank all my previous client.

Red roses - beautiful contrast between her wedding dress, and obviously I don’t have a shot right here to illustrate just that. I have them in my complete shoot collection.

Some casual portraits at Shikin’s room. Where Ordinary to Extra Ordinary pays back. She look lovely.

Adam’s house was just a walk away. I rushed to the location to get a glimpse of how his preparation was undergoing.

Plenty of photographs taken that day, and these are some of my favorites. If you are looking for a wedding photographer, I would be glad to show you the rest.

Congratulations on your wedding Adam & Shikin. I hope you guys are having a good time in your honeymoon right now.
