Wedding Photoshoot!

So yes! We've finally done our wedding photoshoot over the last weekend. Although the weather wasn't exactly co-operative, we managed to get our outdoor shoot completed yesterday afternoon. Special thanks to Alvin and Denise, who so kindly lent us their studio space at Music Lab for our shoot.

The shoot was fun though, although we had to contort our bodies sometimes and try to look as natural as possible. I love my wedding gown and Dan loved the princessy look Fanny (the makeup artist) created for me. She's a genius, that lady. The smokey, rock-chick look she did for me (complete with big hair) totally rocks too. Erm, though i can't say the same about our "posing" in the jamming studio. Both of us were highly unnatural because there was no music playing (didn't wanna disturb the other people in the music school) and it was kinda awkward to pretend we were having fun when we're not really! I think we ended up looking more silly than cool, but still there were a few good shots here and there. The photographer gave me a sneak preview of one of the shots which had me on the keyboards grinning away (as if i was really enjoying a great jam session haha!) while Dan was just looking really, really cool.

The traditional kua part was more relaxed as we didn't have to look cool or sexy and we basically just had a blast. The indoor wedding gown part was quite good as the mood we were supposed to portray was fun and romantic (we'd both couldn't contain our laughter and would burst out laughing during the kissy kissy shots!!!). Evening gown part was the most daunting part of the shoot to me because i had to look cool, sensual and sit/stand in ways to accentuate whatever curves i have (or lack). I'm sure i'd end up looking super awkward but nevertheless, i love my 'do and the whole experience.

Yesterday was spent at Sentosa doing the final portion of the shoot with Chester. He was super naughty and rolled in mud halfway during the shoot and hence we had a very "natural-looking" dog for the rest of the shoot. Photographer caught a few pic of him in his sorry state and it was hilarious. I love this particular shot of him and Dan both sitting on a wooden bench with endless greens behind them. Super dashing, both my boys!!!!

Chester was probably the most tired amongst us because the photos which included him were all action-packed ones. Didn't help that the wind was strong and we probably weren't in the right gear to do the best frisbee throws (excuses!). Chester also seemed abit off-target yesterday and it might have been related to the ongoing stormy weather. It was either us having crap expressions while Chester did a perfect catch or us having great expressions and Chester doing a crap catch. I think he had fun though, especially the part where all of us went waded in the sea - that boy wanted to swim to God-knows-where and i had to stop him before he ended up at the Maldives!!

Glad that at least the photoshoot is struck off our to-do list. Photos will be ready in less than 2 weeks so till then, the only pictures of us are the above big-head-phone-cam kinda pics! Update again soon!
