Eugene & Jessie Actual Wedding Day @ My Awesome Cafe Singapore

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!

Xael & Amber

“Hey you look familiar!” was the first thing I said to Xael at the wedding show.

Xael must be thinking “What a cheesy/lousy sales pickup line”. HAHA, little does he know we were schoolmate!
