Chang Chang and CJ’s wedding by FIFOTO Photography

Fresh from the FIFOTO blog are these awesome photos of Chang Chang & CJ’s recent wedding. Firstly, congrats to the couple who we hear have been together for 10 years! Who says there are no modern day fairy tales?

Their wedding ceremony was held at St. Mary’s Cathedral, a beautifully well-aged church, that has a slight vintage feel to it. Which if you ask me, perfectly befits the classic black & white photos below.

Unlike most Chinese weddings with separate photo sessions, Chang Chang and CJ did it the Australian way and shot for 14 hours continuously. More than impressive when you think about the heat and humidity that comes along with shooting outdoors. Not to mention the stamina needed to stay in high heels for that amount of time!

Brides often tell us that photographer Fiona Lim & her team from FIFOTO are always easy to work with. Which may explain why they got this terrific shot of Chang Chang flinging her gown. For some of you, it may feel kinda weird posing in your bridal gown. After all, not all of us are like Posh & Becks where posing is mandatory.

Thus when choosing a photographer, remember to not only look for someone who is credible and good – but who makes you feel at ease. You don’t want to be posing with someone you don’t feel comfortable with right?

Next up, photos from the reception dinner:

Am always a fan of white roses. Speaking of roses, I hear that our WGA contributor Elaine is thinking of doing the same for her September wedding after reading this previous post… roses are in the air, perhaps?

White roses were placed on the cake inline with the theme. Tip: Try to look for ways to enhance your theme with little details like this.  Another idea is to put a single rose on a plate. Simple yet effective.

As we’ve said many times on WGA, lighting is important! See how the candles cast a soft light on the roses, creating a romantic ambiance. The dinner reception was held at the Imperial Garden which was done up oriental style, with Chinese lanterns and floral wallpaper plastered on the walls. Fiona tells us that even the food presentation got in theme – the waiters wore Ming dynasty soldier-outfits with swords attached! Fake swords of course.

Hmmm, now my mind has wandered to an outer space wedding where the waiters dress like Luke Skywalker and carry a lightsaber. But… I guess that would only happen if a groom planned the wedding. Haha.
