Our Photoshoot Day

On Monday (7th Jan), dear n I went for our wedding photoshoot. It all start from 10am when we reach the studio, we proceed with the makeup first. This is my first attempt of putting on fake eyelashes, it makes my eyes looks dolly and big and I like it... Of course dear cannot run away from this process, he is require to put on foundation and shape of his eyebrown too (there goes his crayon shin's eyebrown lolz). So guys out there preparing for your wedding shoot, you can't run away from this session :) Overall, we are please with the makeup and hairdo.

Next, we process with the photoshoot session @ around 11 plus. In total we have 7 outfits: casual, victorian, 3 evening gowns, 1 actual gown & 1 outdoor gown. Initially, I am quite worry on how to post and smile but we are glad that the photographer guide us all the way through. We do have some funni shots like dear carrying me, piggyback, having tongue stuck out, making funni faces. The photographer keep asking me to open my eyes and smile more naturally, I think dear is more naturally during the photoshoot. After every outfit we did peep into the photographer's cam n it seem ok. At the end of the day, I guess the pics will looks nice since it will undergo editing lolz.... Due to we have quite a few outfits plus there is some miscom between the makeup artist n bridal shop we only manage to proceed for outdoor shooting around 5 plus. We went to punggol (for the lalang), changi bench and ended @ Fullerton for night scenes. I am kind of disappointed that we did not manage to have more time for outdoor shooting but hopefully our photographer had capture some nice pics for us. By the time we reach home is abt 9pm liao... both of us are so hungry that we had our dinner first.

We have to admit by the end of the day both of us are tired but we enjoy the whole process. Looking forward for the day to select our pics... guess it will be a headache process again...

Tips for those who are going for their photoshoot:
- avoid drinking lots of water the night before (this prevent eye bags as this is diff to be covered by makeup)
- apply masks when is near the photoshoot
- for brides avoid wearing bra the night before and for the actual day (prevent the mark of the bra if your gown happen to be low back)
- for brides try to wear slipper or some old heels for outdoor (as it will sure get dirty, anyway also can't see)
- if happen to have quite a few outfit better check the timing with the bridal shop and make up artist
- last by not else, enjoy the whole process!!
