Pulai Springs Johor Garden Wedding, Portraits and Ballroom Banquet

Part of the modernisation of my site included moving Tyler and Chuan’s wedding over to the new sites format, but in the transition I left about 200 photos behind. Time to rectify that! Below you will see many photos from their garden wedding at Pulai Springs Johor followed by portraits and their Ballroom Banquet. One of my favourite photos was their first dance. The original post is also on this site, but with far fewer photos.

BTW Tyler is from New Zealand. A kiwi like me!

Please note the following images are a transfer from my old website and therefore may be of lower resolution than later postings. I do know they will look great on your phone.

Tyler and Chuan Chuan’s Wedding at Pulai Springs in Johor

Tyler and Chuan-Chuan’s wedding in Pulai Springs Johor was so much fun. Both were delightful and had a really nice garden wedding that was fun for everyone who came. Tyler’s a New Zealander and there was definitely some influence coming through during the day. As you can see from their wedding photos it was a great wedding.

Adrienne and Blair – Wedding at the Four Seasons Langkawi

Destination Beach Resort wedding at the Four Seasons

Adrienne first contacted me to be her wedding photographer whilst living in New York. My heart leapt when she told me she was planning a stylish wedding at the Four Seasons in Langkawi. I was also pleased to hear that Blair is a fellow Kiwi (a New Zealander). Adrienne’s family is from the UK. It was a fun wedding just off the beach. It was a lot hotter than it looks! I LOVED shooting this wedding and they were very pleased with the results.

IfÂ were to have an outdoor destination beach resort wedding, then the Four Seasons in Langkawi would definitely be the place!

Justin and Sher-Mayne’s Garden wedding at Bangsar Seafood Garden Restaurant

Justin and Shermayne's garden wedding at the Bangsar Seafood Garden Restaurant — A very happy bride!

Justin and Sher-Mayne asked me to be their wedding photographer for their upcoming wedding at Bangsar Sea Food Garden Village. The morning started off in traditional style, with the ragging of the groom and his party when they came to pick Shermayne up. This included eggs through the pants, nail polish, shaving of legs, the room key being fished out of the frozen water bucket with the foot (I think it took them 5 attempts so there were cold feet- fortunately not the grooms! – pun intended), pretty much the normal things Chinese grooms have to go through here. A final song and then some money, and Justin got his bride! Once done it was Tea Ceremony time. Great way too meet the family and work out every ones social position in the family. It was well organised.

The Christian wedding ceremony was held at the Bangsar Seafood Village Gardens. The theme was “Grace Exceeding, Abundant, Above, and Beyond”. This really was the main event for me, as it enabled us to move around and shoot creatively. The flowers and bouquets alone were very beautiful. Pastor Ronnie Chin presided along with Shermayne’s father who is a pastor. The flower girls were perfectly behaved during the walk in and looked beautiful. The biggest challenge we faced was the rapidly failing light later in the ceremony so it was nearly night time during the final vows and walk out. Dinner was warm and touching and featured Justin singing to his lovely bride.

This was one of those weddings where the couples personalities shone through out the entire day. Very memorable.

Three of us photographers were in attendance. Camera’s used were Nikon D200, D300 and the D2h
