A Wedding in Singapore

A week after the wedding in HK, Ambrose and Wendy flew back to Singapore for their church wedding. Well, I actually shot Ambrose's brother, Ernie's wedding a couple of years earlier (the one which I had to fly to Sabah for). Theirs was also a church wedding held similarly at St Teresa's and then followed by a luncheon.

Frankly speaking, I didn't even once talk to Ambrose during the brother's wedding because he came across as one of those well-mannered and soft-spoken (UK-educated) gentlemen whom I am always consciously avoiding lest my ill-chosen words embarrass myself. At that wedding, Wendy wasn't around so I thought Ambrose was a young and eligible bachelor.

So it came as a surprise when I received a call from him, asking about wedding photography.
In the end, I talked to him at one lunch meeting more than I have ever talked to Ernie for the entire time I have known him. We had fun doing the pre-wedding, the HK wedding, and now the Singapore wedding. It helped that Wendy was a livewire and a bunch of fun.














Ernie and Adeline, stealing a moment to do a maternity shoot of sorts.


Little Jonah (son of Ernie and Adeline) during the wedding speech......no, just kidding. He's simply exhausted after the adrenalin rush since morning.





For the two consecutive weddings held at Dempsey Hill, both ended in a torrential downpour. This time there was flashes of lightning and thunder too. Once, when my flash went off, the two kids immediately covered their ears, thinking the thunder was following up.


That was me in the picture fooling around. It was Ambrose's idea. Picture by Ernie.
