Wooohooo last wedding for 2007 !!!! and it was 14 hours !!!!! The weather was not perfect today but we captured some amazing real moments. We captured 2 Vietnamese Tea Ceremonies followed by a yummy lunch. After lunch we headed to the University of Sydney for the wedding ceremony and reception. I highly recommend The Holme Building / The Refectory Room. I am tired
I will let the images do the talking…..enjoy
Check out Milton’s blog for some more pics.
100% real moment

There was plenty of rain today in Sydney
Today was the first time I meet the bride and groom, they booked me after looking at my work and also recommendation from a friend
We started at Pyrmont for the bridal preparation. Hair was by Julie Blazely (0404 096 842) and makeup was by Martha Bedggood (0415 254 618). The wedding ceremony was at the lovely Chinese Gardens in the Hall of Longevity & Dragon Wall. After the ceremony the rain started and it did not stop. Bride & Groom was great, we still got some great images
My camera gear was all wet, lucky I use professional gear which has rubber seals for weather like today. The civil ceremony was conducted by marriage celebrant Michael Teulon which I have worked with many times. The reception was at The Waterfront Restaurant which has spectacular views across the Opera House and Sydeny Harbour.

Is designed to be an Australian wedding blog dedicated to inspiring you to create a beautiful wedding uniquely yours. Check it out @ polkadotbride.com and they also love my work too
This is what they recently wrote about me…
“Vincent just has this clean, crisp way of shooting which I love. What you see is what you get and I think he does a great job of it! He captures details in an amazing way, I am particularly fond of his shoe shots!. Vincent captures weddings from many different cultures- from Hindu wedding ceremonies to Chinese tea ceremonies. I’m always in awe of the beautiful fabrics and touches that he captures so well. I also learn a lot about different weddings through Vincent!”

…with album designing and meeting clients. I meet with five clients today
Two more weddings too capture before I have a relaxing break. I got myself a new camera for my Christmas present, hopefully it will be in my hands before Christmas.
An album spread I am working on “simple and documentary”

Currently enjoying our short break in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
I bought the tickets for my wife birthday. I also bumped into one of my wedding couples which caught the same flight. Worst thing happened when we landed in KL, my glasses snapped
I had to use sticky tape to hold it together until we got into KL CBD. I was able to get a new pair - frame and lens within an hour. So far it has been awesome, great food and great shopping. Fei was able to meet up with all her school friends, last time she meet up with them was 11 years ago. We even stayed in her home town, Ipoh, overnight. Here are some images. It is so convenient having a small notebook and able to pickup free Wifi hotspots
The famous Petronas Twin Towers

I only bought my little pocket camera
