Preparation and the Pre wedding Photoshoot on 14 May 2012
Wen is so funny. His preparation for the pre-wedding shoot was to make sure that I'm happy the day before so that I wont be in a bad mood and frown during the photoshoot! Well, not that I (always) have such a temper! But he was exceptionally sweet that day before, hardly any rebuttal from him even though I could sense some of such moments...!
We decided to do away with the boring indoor photoshoot.
My preparation for the pre-wedding shoot was thus to make sure that I brought along everything I need.
Heels for the shoot. I bought this pretty pair of shoes from Pazzion that I would want to wear for my wedding day!
However, my wedding consultant warned me about getting it dirty during outdoor photoshoot and asked if I could bring another pair instead. Nevertheless, I would like to show this pair in my photoshoot - with gowns that are short/ empire style. So, I brought along 2 pairs of heels! Wouldn't hurt to bring more than you need. Best part is, I did not even need to carry my own stuff! Thanks to my makeup artist who followed me throughout the photoshoot, she helped to bring the necessary things I need for each photoshoot venue.
Flats! This is a must, my wedding consultant said. Imagine walking under the hot sun in a thick and heavy piece of gown. At times when you have to walk a distance to a spot that the photographer fancies, this pair of helpers was indeed helpful! Doesn't matter even if it's a casual flip flops, cos they won't show in the photos.
Nubra - This is a must-have item for all brides. Unlike reviews that I've heard about this, my conclusion is that so long as you buy a good quality (not from the wholesale online/ push cart), it is actually very comfortable and easy to wear.

Our bridal studio was also thoughtful during the photoshoot and we were glad that they came more than prepared. A bucket full of iced water was prepared for the shoot, sunblock spray for our exposed skin and even the hands and feet were not neglected, a huge hand fan (it looks like a car sunscreen protector) which another helper would give us a good breeze whenever Wen and I were feeling hot, and lunch arrived as soon as we were back at the bridal studio for a half-time break.
With all things set, we were there at the studio at 9.30am. I couldn't believe at first that my make up and hairstyling would take 2 hours. Wen spent his time walking around chatting with the other consultants, while I was sitting there just being made up. The end result was quite a surprise to me, and it really took 2 hours to complete! Wen's took only 30 mins!
And off we went for the photoshoot. With four different outfits and venues, we were changed quickly for the next photoshoot, either at the venue itself or back at the studio where we had our lunch break. Service from the bridal studio was impeccable. Everything was well taken care of, and we just had to follow. Help was given whenever we needed, and the makeup artist was attentive in ensuring that we look good during the shoot. I felt really pampered!
Thanks Enya!
