Ever since I met WenHong and Serene, they have been such a delight to work with. In planning their pre-wedding session, they totally leave it to me and we had a tired, yet fun shoot on National Day! I can’t wait to shoot their wedding day in December!
I finally got my PC up and running…..smoothly and I can resume normal blogging.
Earlier last week, I shot the prewedding for Mark & SX. They were a fun couple and it is my first time shooting at House, along Dempsey Road designed by Mark, who will gonna be the designer for my new house!
We had a wonderful time at House too!
Thanks for the experience.
Now choosing pictures is a headache, simply spoilt for choice!
Looking forward to the real album… God bless!
So sorry for the lack of posts. I’m plagued by a series of electronic breakdowns recently…blog down, website down, PC down etc. My PC has been refusing to start with a fail partition on the boot disk. I’m now operating without a proper pc, unable to do any editing. Hopefully i can get it running by this weekend.
Meanwhile, here are some of my favourites of Ming & Mark’s wedding, who were hitched last Saturday, right after I return from Korea and it was great fun covering their wedding. They are indeed….the hottest lawyers in town!
I will be in Korea from 20th - 25th July. During this period. I will not have access to internet and limited mobile access. If you have any enquires, please email me at info@gabrielmendes.com and i will reply as soon as I return.
My website is still down at the moment. To view more of my works, click here to see my online portfolio.
I had been looking forward to this wedding ever since I shot their pre-wedding session in Bali because Gabriel and Juvina are one of the most comfortable couples I ever worked with and I knew this day was going to be amazing!
Highlight of the night was a David Tao love song sang by Gabriel’s elder brothers and cousins.
I like the first pic. It strikes me with a silent (within), yet loud (on the mindset) boldness of the couple! Love the way the bride stands, showing abit of artistic 颓废look (it will make a total different feel if she had stood up straight)!

I like photo #6. The embrace is so sweet and blissful.
AHYooooooo…… i wanna squeeezeeee the little thing. This is way better than maternity shots, it’s like tomkat and suri! Love the profile black and white.
Babies are the most delicate objects that challenge a photographer’s shooting skill. The lens can be more softer to reflect this, as well as the angles. Overall, I love the first family pic with the retro feel for the whole setting. The parents tender love and focus on the baby are reflected in the picture, and I like how the shiny wedding ring of the father brings out the unity offsprings of the marriage. Nicely done with simple details.
I’m back! The trip was fun and we went to places that I never been before. My driver was so bold that he drove us to the house belonging to one of the richest man in Bali and suggest us to gatecrash into his mansion to take photos. By pure luck, we met the mother of the rich man at the front gate, and she gladly grant us permission! Woo hoo…..the mansion was so huge and pretty! My driver and makeup artist told me that the owner is a very famous rich man in Bali and we are so lucky to enter his inner santuary…kekeke!!!!!
The next Bali trip is in August. Do email or call for more details….I’m doing a very special August promo package….just for August only.
the last shot is…. wow. It also feels a little dangerous, the waves there can get quite strong…

Hi! Been following your blog and photos. Indeed, your photography style radiates happiness and passion. Love all of them, especially the ones containing your boys. I like the balinese architecture (1st, top left) backdrop with the couple photo. A playful moment sneaked in between a professional pose. Heehee.
