Hello dearest friends! I hope you had an enjoyable Christmas holiday, and eagerly anticipating the coming new year! All of us at Raymond Phang Photography have been slogging really hard to clear the backlogs of wedding images for our couples, especially Susulini who stayed till past midnight on Christmas eve to finish a batch of editing. Big muacks to her! However for couples who ordered allbums with us, do bear with us as our supplier has advised a much longer waiting time due to the peak wedding season. 🙂
That aside, we have quite a few backlogs of images to share as well! Few months back we did Kenny and Sherry’s actual day wedding, with solemnisation on the same day. It is actually quite tiring to do everything on the same day, but it saves the cost and hassle altogether. The couple had the solemnisation and banquet at Oosh (Dempsey Road) with a freestyle buffet dinner. Personally I really like the cosy venue with indoor and outdoor settings, guests are free to walk around and mingle, no restrictions, and less tensed up as compared to a full course sit down banquet.

Morning make up and preparation was done at the Bride’s place.


The sisters getting ready.

Here comes the groom and his brothers! Looking all enthusiastic and eager to find out what challenges awaits them.

They arrived at the bride’s place to find this suspicious looking paperbag hanging by the main gate.

And some pretty bras sleeping on the floor with colorful balloons. Not bad leh, bra still got double strap pattern pattern ones. Luckily no lacy ones. But they have got the outstanding Barney colored bra. Hahaha!

So the brothers had to inflate the balloons. 2 each!

The sisters all gleeful and happy!

Now we all know guys prefer woman to have a heavy top… even when they claim otherwise… Look at the size of balloon they blew up!! They’re all overspilling from the bra already!!!

Here’s Kenny with a humongous boobie and barney bra peeping into the other red bag.

This kind of question can sometimes be tougher than Phd thesis questions.

I thought this view look quite funny. Hehehe… now we know who’s the slacker!! *points to second brother from right*. :p

Kenny consulting the brothers for an answer…

Cannot tahan already, must bribe the sisters with more ang pow money.

WHAT?? Not sing dollars??

Fine fine… see what will the brothers get if they play this kind of dirty tricks on us again…

This is how Sing dollars look like. I think next time the sisters must do up a chart of currencies they accept such as Sing dollars, Pounds, Euros, Aussie dollars etc. =p

Cannot stand the size of their balloon boobies. Poor bra looked like they’re over “worked”, but here we see one of the brother preparing the “white flag” to surrender.

The best white flag – cheque!

At least now they get to enter through the main gate, and…. take off each other’s bra… Muwahahahaha!

Brothers and sisters can play any games during the gate crashing, from food to intellectual to physical torture. From meaningless to meaningful games. But most of the time the games played during gate crashing are for the pure pleasure of the sisters. Afterall how many times in life do they get the chance to take “revenge” on the groom and his brothers without them retaliating? Only this once man, only this once…  But of course the sisters cannot be overboard and must try to take note of the hygiene issue during the preparation especially when it comes to food handling. We don’t want the groom and the brothers to get tummy ache, puke all over the place, fall sick and stuffs right? Not only will it spoil the morning, it’ll affect the rest of the wedding day.

In the past, the games played during gate crashing are more simple. But nowadays the sisters all very jialat, and super sadistic. Maybe because the value of brides nowadays are appreciating… You know, like inflation, property prices and Gold prices? Last time nobody would have imagined the price of COE can go up to $70K, but today, it did. HDB at Shunfu can go up to a million! So I guess it applies to Brides too! Brides are getting more and more expensive because the ladies nowadays are smarter, prettier, capable, and filled with goodness from Vitamin A to Z! Muwahahahahahaha! Ok that’s a bimbotic comment, but quite true to a certain extend! :p

So the gate crashing games are supposed to be a way for the bride’s knight in shinning armour to “show” how far a distance will the sweetheart go for her. It’s like the answer to “how deep is your love”…. Or “你問我愛你又多深”. Hehehe. The twist and turn of events make gatecrashing seems like an extortion process for the sisters to get more ang pow money. But I’m sure we know the gatecrashing games are all in the name of fun. Maybe the games played nowadays caused people to think that gate crashing are evil and meaningless, aimed only to embarass the groom and brothers. Well, it is your choice to decide whether the gate crashing will be a meaningless or a meaningful one. 🙂

After all the cruelsome games, the groom finally gets the bride!

Oh I like this image!! I thought it felt something like “Lao eh, you look la, look at what your bao bei daughter is doing inside the room!!” Muwahahahahahahaha!!

And I thought this look kinda interesting with everyone’s eyeballs looking up, except for the groom’s.


Sneaking a kiss at every opportunity possible.

Rain or shine, it’s a different feel for Raymond Phang’s signature car shot. 🙂


Tea ceremony from the other perspective.

Some spare time for a quick casual shoot. Must applaud the brothers for their sacrifice… sinking their spanking new polished shoes into the muddy soil, and violently scrubbing it right after to continue the end of the day.

Touching up at Dempsey.

The table settings.

Mini cupcakes surrounding the the main cake at the top.

The couple marching in for their ROM.

The solemniser/JP for their wedding Mr Tan Yan Boon.

The vows exchange. It is very meaningful when couple customise their own wedding vows – something that they will remember for life, will live by, and will hold close to their hearts. 🙂

The solemnisation ceremony usually take about 10-15 minutes. Such a short period of time, but this short period of time is an important committment made that will last you a lifetime. Not simple, and it’s not just a ceremony. 🙂

The couple has this very interesting guestbook. It’s actually a piece of mirror where the guests write their well wishes.

I love the walkway!

Love the textured wall!!

And the bricks, decor, the feel of the place.


The view from outdoor. Really pretty isn’t it!


The emcees inviting guests to gather around for the couple’s first march in.



A real wedding cake is the best! The couple had a 7″ cake at the top tier of the wedding cake, surrounded by about 200 over cupcakes.

They had 3 LCD TVs and 2 projector screens set up all around the lounge and restaurant area so that the guests can also view the ceremonyfrom the different corners. 🙂

Alcohol seems to be the life of most parties (except children’s birthday parties?) and I haven’t seen a wedding without any alcohol, it will be cool to witness one! (:


Bride preparing for the second change.

More mingling~ It’s better this way when you personally know most of the guests. 🙂

Some time for a quick couple shot to end the entry. 🙂

Lots of ♥,
– Angeline
