Eddie & Ariel's Heartfelt Pre-Wedding Journey with Chris Ling Photography
Eddie & Ariel's Nostalgic Pre-Wedding Photoshoot Journey with Chris Ling Photography
For many couples, the idea of a pre-wedding photoshoot can seem daunting, often associated with long hours, countless poses, and inevitable fatigue. However, for Eddie and Ariel, their experience with Chris Ling Photography was nothing short of delightful, turning what could have been a tiring day into one filled with laughter, cherished memories, and beautifully captured moments.
A Meaningful Photoshoot at NUS – Where It All Began
The couple’s love story began at the National University of Singapore (NUS), where they first met and spent countless days studying, hanging out, and falling in love. Naturally, when it came time to choose their pre-wedding photoshoot location, NUS held a special place in their hearts. Instead of opting for an overseas shoot, Eddie and Ariel decided to revisit the very grounds where their journey started, reliving fond memories and creating new ones along the way.
As Ariel shared, “NUS holds a lot of core memories for us, so it was the perfect location to capture the essence of our relationship.” The photoshoot not only allowed them to document their love story but also served as a nostalgic walk down memory lane, rekindling the emotions that had brought them together years ago.
Professional Guidance for Picture-Perfect Moments
Being camera-shy and unsure of how to pose is a common concern among couples, and Eddie and Ariel were no exception. However, with the expert guidance of their photographer, Jackyz, the entire process became smooth, fun, and stress-free. His lighthearted approach, witty jokes, and clear instructions helped the couple relax and enjoy each moment, resulting in photos that felt natural, candid, and truly reflective of their personalities.
“We were clueless about posing,” Eddie admitted, “but Jackyz was extremely professional and funny, making the whole experience light-hearted and enjoyable.”
Amber, their makeup artist, was equally instrumental in ensuring a flawless photoshoot. Beyond makeup touch-ups, she assisted with gown adjustments, hairstyle changes, and even prompting Ariel on how to pose naturally. Ariel fondly recalled, “I felt like an artist with Amber by my side, ensuring every detail was perfect.”
Capturing Genuine Emotions and Personal Stories
Unlike conventional pre-wedding photography that often focuses more on scenic backdrops than the couple themselves, Chris Ling Photography’s approach prioritizes storytelling and emotional connection. Every photo from Eddie and Ariel’s shoot radiated authenticity, showcasing their genuine smiles, laughter, and shared moments.
One of the most memorable locations was MacRitchie Reservoir, where the couple often hiked and exercised together. The lush greenery and tranquil waters provided a stunning yet familiar backdrop, turning an ordinary location into an extraordinary setting for their love story.
“The MacRitchie photos turned out beautifully,” Ariel said. “It didn’t even feel like Singapore. Most people think they need to go overseas for breathtaking photos, but this experience showed us how much beauty Singapore itself has to offer.”
A Stress-Free Experience with a Professional Team
From gown selection to photo editing, every aspect of Eddie and Ariel’s pre-wedding photoshoot was seamless, thanks to the dedicated team at Chris Ling Photography and Z Wedding. Zya, the gown consultant, played a crucial role in helping Ariel find the perfect wedding gown. “They sent a form to understand my preferences, including neckline style, concerns, and body type,” Ariel explained. “Zya then recommended dresses that truly suited me, making the entire selection process smooth and enjoyable.”
Even Eddie, who initially viewed the photoshoot as a chore, found himself thoroughly enjoying the experience. “Most guys don’t usually look forward to taking photos, but I had so much fun that day. It was nostalgic, visiting the places we used to hang out, and it didn’t feel like a task at all.”
Turning Memories into Timeless Keepsakes
The final results far exceeded Eddie and Ariel’s expectations. Each photo told a story, capturing not just picturesque moments but the emotions and memories behind them. From playful dancing shots to heartwarming scenes at their favorite NUS hangouts, the images reflected the essence of their relationship.
“We received so many compliments from friends,” Eddie shared. “Everyone said the photos looked beautiful and genuine. It wasn’t just about looking good; it was about sharing our story with the people we love.”
