Background

From finance to wedding films

Over time, weekends became the part of the week I looked forward to most.

I studied accounting in university and thought I would follow a typical office path. After graduation, I worked in finance and moved through different roles. The work was stable, but it often felt like I was following a script that was not mine.

During that period, I had a chance to start a production house with friends. It did not work out, but it changed something in me. I started filming weddings on weekends while still working full-time as an accountant. Over time, weekends became the part of the week I looked forward to most.

10 over years ago, I reached a crossroads: stay in finance, or commit fully to wedding films. I took a leap of faith into full-time wedding videography, and I have stayed with it since. And today, Our Wedding Story is the result of that transition.

Approach

My Style: Cinematic and Documentary

A wedding day has two speeds. The big cinematic moments, and the quiet in-between moments.

A wedding day has two speeds. The big cinematic moments, and the quiet in-between moments.

Cinematic moments give shape, mood, and beauty.

During couple portraits or bridal party sessions, I step in with gentle guidance to help you feel comfortable and look natural on camera.

Documentary moments protect what is real.

When the day unfolds, like veiling, vows, solemnisation, speeches, or quiet family interactions, I step back and film continuously so the emotions are not broken into fragments.

Why combine both?

Because a wedding is both crafted and unplanned. You remember the beauty, but you also remember the pauses, the voices, and the little reactions in between. Cinematic shots give atmosphere. Documentary coverage gives truth. Together, they let you relive the day as it felt.

A short moving moment says enough here. It shows the calm, movement, and atmosphere behind the way I film.

Aesthetic

Framing, Colour, and Timelessness

My focus is to make films that still feel honest and watchable many years from now.

I often make use of space in my compositions.

For me, space creates breathing room. It helps the frame feel calm, not crowded. It also gives emotional weight to small gestures, and shows the scale of a venue without taking attention away from people.

For colour, I prefer a warm palette while keeping the vibrance of the day. I want skin tones to feel natural, flowers and lights to stay alive, and the overall mood to feel intimate.

I also include black and white in selected moments. Without colour, expression becomes clearer: a hand tightening, a glance before vows, a parent’s face during march-in. It helps the emotion stand on its own.

When I built Our Wedding Story, I wanted the brand to reflect my style and also leave room for each couple’s personality. Trends matter, but trends pass. My focus is to make films that still feel honest and watchable many years from now.

Workflow

My Equipment and Workflow

Over the years, I built a portable system that helps me film with the coverage mindset of a larger crew while staying efficient as one person.

I have filmed with Lumix since the beginning, starting from the GH3. It was not the trendiest option at the time, but it fit the way I work. It was practical, intuitive and really reliable.

I upgraded my equipment over the years and today I use the Lumix S1II, with a two-camera setup on wedding days. This gives me a backup and helps me capture two angles during key moments, for example both bride and groom reactions during vows or parent speech reactions.

My lens set includes

  • 24mm, 35mm, 50mm, 85mm primes
  • 24-60mm zoom for flexible coverage

How I usually use them

  • 24-60mm zoom for fast-moving moments like gatecrash
  • 35mm / 50mm for couple and bridal portraits
  • 24mm with gimbal for venue atmosphere and scene movement
  • 85mm for speeches and church moments

As I work as a solo wedding videographer, workflow is important. Over the years, I built a portable system that helps me film with the coverage mindset of a larger crew while staying efficient as one person. I now edit actual day videos and wedding films on a MacBook Pro M4 and deliver them in 4K.

The family scenes carry more weight now. That shift is part of the story, not a side note.

Perspective

A Personal Note

That perspective shapes how I film your day.

Currently I live in Tampines with my family (the best side of Singapore, if you ask me!). While I travel all across the island from the East to the furthest reaches of the West, the drive home always gives me time to reflect on the stories I have just captured.

I am also a husband and a father to a 7-year-old daughter. Fatherhood changed how I see weddings. Moments between parents and children now hit me differently, especially veiling and march-in. I still care deeply about visuals, but I pay even more attention to emotional continuity and family connection.

That perspective shapes how I film your day. I am not only documenting an event. I am helping to keep the beginning of a family story. And I would be honored to tell yours.
