As promised in my post on my pre-wedding shoot experience that I'll share the whole series of the pre-wedding shoot photos, so here I am, keeping to the promise :)
Just a heads up, our photos were taken with 4 outfits and a total of 4 different stories for each series.
1) Maplestory - This series of photos will show how we met, and yup we met in the game Maplestory.
No doubt we enjoyed this part of the wedding shoot the most because we get to mimick our character in the game. Even though we have to painstakingly DIY most of the props to achieve the effect we wanted, it was all worthwhile after we saw how the photos turn out to be.
We were glad the photographer did photoshop the 'effects' (which we provided by doing some research on our own) from the game into our photos so well.
One of my favourite because this look very much similar to us when we are in game (our body gesture and outfit).
And so Derp kissed me without asking haha!
Here I am, planning my revenge lol.
Haha! We always find the 'ghost' is kind of cute whenever our character 'died' in game.
This make it to the album cover. Something different from the cliche kind of wedding photos.
2) Dating (Pak Tor) Days - This was the casual shoot we had and it was the first shoot that took place on that very day.
We chose to had the shoot at The Cathay simply because we hang out at that place almost every other day during our dating days. We used to catch 2-3 movies on a weekday (during our school holidays) so we were there the whole day haha! If I never remember wrongly, we celebrated our first, second and third year anniversaries all at that place lol.
It was not easy to arrange a shoot in a shopping mall because of the permission needed and likewise for the movie theater too. So do your homework well if you intend to have any indoor premises photoshoot :)
Heading to our favourite hangout place, the cinema!
We love to sit on this chairs, yes it was this specific one while we wait to enter the movie theater.
3) The proposal - It was a pity we didn't manage to get the permission to have a photoshoot inside Raffles City Shopping Center because that's the actual place the proposal was being held. No idea what's the reason behind rejecting us because it will be perfect to reminiscence the moment once again at the actual place.
In the end, we make do by doing 'the proposal' shoot at Punggol Settlement (by right Punggol Waterway but we lost our way, you can read all about it on the pre wedding photoshoot experience post)
By then, the night is falling so this shoot was done in the shortest possible time.
The big-ass ring prop provided by the bridal studio lol.
Glad that there's still some sunset at the background..
Twirling the gown around because it's light!
One of my favourite from this series..
4) The finale - Enough said, this is the happily-ever-after theme photos, in my white gown and suit to symbolize we are getting married. As usual, we had photos shoot with our props and some normal poses.
The photographer think these 2 are the cutest one so he chose them out haha! They dont really have any meaning on us because they weren't our favourite character in the game though..
Love this photos too even though it's just simple standing there to pose..
Chose this as our 床头照 :) Love the vibrant colors.
As the back of the album, we had to choose 1 photo to be printed in thumb nail size. We selected this photo from the Maplestory series..
Totally no idea what he's trying to achieve but after we saw this photo, we reckon this photo could not be any better for the back of the album to symbolize us walking hand in hand towards our future together :)
Questions you may asked:
1) Did we top up for any photos? Yes we did. We had a total of 45 photos instead of the original 35 photos in the package. As we wanted the story to 'flow' when people flip through our photo album, so topping up for the essential photos is necessary.
2) Price for photo top up - I can't remember exactly but there was a promo going on at top up for 8 photos and we are given free 2 photos. So it's like 10 for the price of 8 photos. The amount didn't went up to a 4 digit figure.
3) Topping up for soft copy returns instead of print out - Okay they did did quote a price for returning of all the few hundred photos in soft copy (without edit) for a minimal sum. They calculated and the top up fee came up to few hundred bucks. It was affordable as far as I could remember but we didn't opt for it in the end too because while we were scanning through the few hundred photos, we eliminate out quite many of them. I guess we stayed quite objective throughout the photos selection.
4) Other additional charges - We top up a slight amount for the cover of the album to be a glass cover instead of the normal ones and that would mean the weight of the photo album increased too.
