Scott ♥ Adeline
Shangri-La Hotel
Definitely one of the more colorful and theme-oriented weddings I had covered this year and eons since I last shot for a relative. Cousin Adeline and I are Peranakan-Chinese while Scott, ahem, is Scottish-American. In a nutshell, this was NOT going to be your typical wedding. =D
This time round, I was given a list of tasks to perform and time to perfection:
…three hours photojournalistic coverage of bride and bridesmaids getting ready, artistic shots during ceremony, live projection of some of the pics taken earlier, live projection cum instant printing of guests pics taken during cocktails, live projection cum instant printing of guests pics during dinner as well as live projection of speeches, toasting and dessert buffet spread…
In essence, my role, although merely behind-the-scenes, would determine an outcome tantamount to either a huge blockbuster hit or a terrible B-grade movie. Hence, lots of preparation and troubleshooting work were done beforehand. The stress was overwhelming two weeks prior to the wedding but of course, no one noticed anything strange about me then. Owing to my diligence and efficiency, I encountered many but resolved most of the issues in time.
At the end of the evening, the guests were thrilled, the older folks were delighted but most importantly, the newly-weds loved what they saw. That made my day.
Scott & Adeline,
Wishing you the best in your lives together and may they be filled with lots of good cheer and happiness!

P.S: Special thanks to Spellbound Weddings for providing assistance along the way and oh, did I almost forget to mention that Award-winning blogger of Snippets of Life – Karen Cheng, was one of the guests that evening? Coincidentally, she is Adeline’s cousin as well so, does that make us remotely related too? =P
