Photo Shoot 20/2/06

"Mr Handsome, look here, left leg in front, chin down, SMILE!!!!!!!!"

"Beautiful, come here, errr...not like this, I think cannot work...."

This was what we heard the whole day. The photographer (Eric) did not bother to call us by our names. He did not make us laugh. Stu had to tickle me on few occasions. I think the funniest thing that day was Eric calling me "Ching Hui" as the last photo was shot.

Stu and I were creative enough to strike our own poses, but Eric did not like any of them. The poses we had to do were so stiff and uncomfortable and tiring, of cos Eric then proclaimed "Cannot, cannot. Too unnatural." and made us do another.

It was such a boring yet tiring day. I kept yawning and my eyes kept watering. Which means my fake eyelashes kept dropping and Regine, the makeup artist spent ages fixing my face. She was so patient and such a perfectionist, which I admired, and even bought lovely orchids to put in my hair.

For the outdoor shoot, we went to Esplanade and Punggol. Punggol was nice as we got to shoot with the lallang, the rocky beach and yachts in Punggol Marina. Didnt do the wakeboarding shots as planned as we were too tired and just not in the mood.

I think Stu had a worse time than I did with all the waiting. My brother too. I felt really bad for them - my brother had to take leave and yet couldn't video the studio process. He basically wasted half a day with us. He also had to drive his brand new precious car through the sandy lallang patch. Stu had to carry me, squat, run and jump, even though he wasnt feeling well. During one of the poses, he looked into my eyes and said 'I love you'. That was the sweetest moment, and our smiles would have been the most genuine then...

I expected too much from that day as so many couples told me that the photoshoot is the most fun part of the wedding planning! Still hope the photos will turn out well and can't wait to see them.
