When Gabriel and Michelle embarked on their pre-wedding photography journey, they initially found themselves drawn towards a Taiwanese company, captivated by their love for the country's food, culture, and landscapes. The company's lofty promises and attractive package seemed enticing. However, reality proved to be less than perfect. From the cumbersome task of personally transporting their wedding dress and suits to Taiwan to an arduous photoshoot lasting from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., their experience was far from the dreamy pre-wedding adventure they had imagined.

The couple described the photography style as tedious and uncomfortable, likening the process to a military training exercise where the photographer demanded a series of unnatural poses that left them in a static position, waiting for the command to relax and smile. It was a marathon of artificial smiles and uncomfortable poses that felt more like a chore than a joyous celebration of their love story.

Feeling disheartened yet unwilling to settle for subpar results, Gabriel and Michelle sought a second pre-wedding photoshoot. This time, they entrusted their experience to us at Chris Ling Photography, a premier pre-wedding photographer in Singapore.

Their journey with us began with the wedding outfit selection. Instead of being subjected to a set of pre-determined choices, Gabriel and Michelle were asked about their preferences, styles, and desires. The process was collaborative and catered to them, making them feel understood and considered.

On the day of the shoot, the atmosphere was far from their previous rigid experience. The photographer, Jackyz, and the videographer, Jed, brought a friendly, professional, and relaxed vibe. It felt more like a social gathering with friends than a formal event. The poses were natural, the smiles were genuine, and the result was a series of candid, informal photos that truly represented their bond.

An essential part of their transformation was Amber, the makeup artist, who ensured Michelle not only looked beautiful but felt comfortable with the high-quality products used. Gabriel and Michelle expressed their heartfelt gratitude towards Amber for making them look their best.

As they viewed the final outcome of their pre-wedding photoshoot, they felt a wave of relief and joy. Unlike the traditional, stiff poses from their first photoshoot, these pictures captured their love story in a contemporary, fun, casual, and candid way. Gabriel, who Michelle admitted usually struggles to smile naturally, was relaxed and happy. The photos mirrored this natural happiness, telling a story that was uniquely theirs.
