Instant Photography, Live Event Photography by LiveStudios

It’s one of those days we have 3 concurrent events running…
I’m handling the Lexus event, Mike’s shooting the ASC dinner & Jon’s taking care of the Lexean event.

We’ll be here at the Lexus showroom at 33 Leng Kee Road for 3 consecutive days for their pre-christmas celebration and launch of the Lexus GS300 Luxury Sports Sedan.

Nordana Asia Pte Ltd, now known as Andersen Shipping Company had its Launch Party at Senso Ristorante.

Guests dressed in red and white filled the entire restaurant, and with the overhelming response for Live Studios photography, we entertained everyone with our endless prints of photocards… this time with lamination which made the photos look exceptionally brilliant.

Guests were smiling from ear to ear and all of us had fun. We sure do look forward to our next party!

When someone from the event industry holds a wedding, I hold high expectations for it as it’s the couple’s profession in the first place to organise events.. Adrian and Joan didn’t disappoint at all 

Adrian being the romantic proposed before on the DHL balloon and they had their solemnisation on it too.

There were many surprises that happened at the dinner @ The Fullerton Hotel.
Joan prepared an animation about their love story to surprise Adrian.
Adrian arranged pyrotechnics for the stage.. (Pyros for wedding?? lol.. only an event person would arrange for this)
Joan had a haircut before her 2nd march in
And it was also Joan’s Birthday! 

They have also arranged for “A Little Dream” to perform and we’ve seen them lots of times.. last one was just 2 days ago at Kelvin & Dewi’s wedding at Four Seasons Hotel. Check out their blog entry!

Guests also signed their well-wishers on the digital guestbook.

Having 2 photographers at a wedding allowed me to let our other photographer go on a standard lens to cover the group shots while I use a portrait lens to give the beautiful ‘pop-out’ effect.

Didn’t get any sleep after the Citibank D&D and had to start shooting for Randy & HuiFang’s wedding at 4am in the morning..
This couple booked myself and another top wedding photographer in Singapore and my good friend and ex-business partner, Jonathan Ho (Joho). They were clever and booked us 18 months in advance.. our prices have probably gone up by 3 times since.

Couple feeling cheery despite the lack of sleep at the break of dawn.

Randy & HuiFang sharing some sweet quiet moments together

We assured the couple that it doesn’t matter even if it rains, we would be able to create the photo. True enough, it started pouring and we did a quick detour to setup for this shot.

They chose the digital guestbook service for the banquet.
Here’s myself, Randy, Joho and Eric (Joho’s assistant)

Torque brought in many sleek cars and we brought in our mobile studio. The backdrop was the $2.5 Million dollars Zonda Roadster. Public & guests walked away with their personalised magazine cover printed on photocards to keep and show off in their wallets. 

The magazine cover was designed for shots taken vertically. The photos which were not able to fit in the vertical format had an alternative layout.
