Love in the Sky: A Stunning Wedding Video at MBS Lavo Rooftop – Thomas & May Wedding Full Day Edit (FDE)

Posted on by melvin.cho

As a wedding videographer, there’s nothing quite like capturing the magic and beauty of a couple’s big day. Recently, I had the privilege of filming a wedding at one of Singapore’s most iconic locations, the Marina Bay Sands (MBS) Lavo Rooftop. I’m excited to share some of the highlights from this stunning wedding video, and my experience creating it.

The video, which you can watch at the link above, captures the essence of the couple’s love and the breathtaking scenery at MBS Lavo Rooftop. The video opens with aerial shots of the iconic Singapore skyline, and then transitions to intimate moments of the couple getting ready for their big day. The wedding ceremony itself was a beautiful affair, with the couple surrounded by their loved ones against the backdrop of the stunning skyline. Throughout the video, the love and happiness of the couple shone through, making it a joy to watch.

As a wedding videographer, capturing the magic of the day is both an art and a science. Additionally, I worked closely with the couple to understand their vision for the video and made sure to capture all the key moments that they wanted to remember. The result is a video that not only showcases the beauty of the location, but also the love and joy of the couple.

Capturing a wedding video at MBS Lavo Rooftop was a truly special experience, and one that I will always treasure. The stunning location and beautiful couple made it a joy to create this video, and I’m thrilled with the final result. I hope that this video will serve as a lasting memory of the couple’s special day, and a testament to the power of love and beauty.

  1. Creates a memorable experience for you and your guests: a same-day edit video is a unique and exciting way to relive the highlights of your wedding day with your loved ones.
  2. Captures the emotions and excitement of the day: seeing your wedding day on screen while it’s still fresh in your mind can be emotional and moving.
  3. Provides a sneak peek of the final wedding video: if you’re excited to see your wedding video, a same-day edit video can give you a glimpse of what’s to come.

Eugene & Jessie Actual Wedding Day @ My Awesome Cafe Singapore

Posted on by kelvin.low

Warm, intimate & minimalistic are the 3 words I’d use to describe photographing this occasion. I vividly remember capturing an abundance of  laughters, hugs and kisses that day!

The highlight of the evening was the heartwarming and articulated speech from Eugene to his beloved wife and loved ones. He definitely brought about a lot of joy warm feelings and probably a tear or two to everyone in the cafe.

I recalled Jessie saying to me to chill and have some food and drink on multiple occasions but I just didn’t want to stop taking photos of her dear guests who were clearly enjoying themselves.

Some people say every day is Valentine’s Day if you’re in love. I guess the same can be said about a couple’s wedding day if they were to assure each other with words and commitment on a daily basis!
