It is not everyday that an overseas filming project lands on my lap. I must admit that this year, I have been blessed with bookings that took me to different cities in Asia and North America. But there is nothing like working on a wedding film on Christmas day. It feels like opening the biggest present under the tree. Well, at least for the boy in me.
Meet Chean Wee and Ireana. The fun-loving couple we filmed in Malaysia. At their pre-wedding event, where it is a tradition for the groom and his groomsmen to fetch the bride, they displayed their playful selves. With the help of the female entourage, some challenges were set up for the groom to fulfill before he could fetch his bride. He gamely did so. Everyone got a good laugh before the wedding, but not at the ceremony, where not a single eye was left dry after the exchange of heartfelt vows. There were tears and smiles. It was both traditional and modern. It truly makes up for a magical day. Best wishes, Chean Wee and Ireana!
It has been a fulfilling year for yours truly. I wish all my couples the best for the coming year. Welcome 2012!
