Well, when friends need a budget wedding photographer, I always volunteer! They've been pleased so far, but I'll readily admit I'm nowhere as good as this Kim guy.
Just covered a wedding last weekend, that spanned nearly two whole days. Talk about siong!

hey ninkus, CK's online portfolio looks very good.
I do suggest that whoever you get, make sure you get only 1 main photographer. I have seen too many weddings with 3-5 photographers each falling over one another jostling for an angle.
If you want 2 photographers, make sure you tell them what you want them to respectively cover, and best is if they both know each other and have worked together.
You have only 1 wedding day, so get the pros.

Good advice:thumbsup:
Try Wesley from www.memphiswest.com for B&W, or his landlord Heng from www.thepond.com.sg
No regret one. but $$$

With the increasing number of people holding digital cameras, it's unavoidable everybody wants a shot of the moment day.
I personally found it hard to take pictures because I don't want to block their friends/relatives taking theirs. So many a times I lose out on a lot of angles and shots.
For example in the ROM room, their friends took the only corner in which photogaphers are allowed to stand and take pictures, I had a hard time maneuvouring squatting kneeling just to get some shots and I missed a lot too. Fortunately their internal flash never got in the way, otherwise OMG... overexposed.
Just a piece of advice, don't let the couple have too many cameras around you, you'll get very frustrated. Imagine 20 internal flashes with your speedlight, think you're going to cry.
I think maximum, 2-3, 1 main to cover event shoots and the others to go around taking normal shots if need be.
I don't know if CK faced this problem as I? I know I lost out on a lot of precious shots on my last shoot.

Actually for solemnisation at Fort Canning, i already had a bit of difficulty already, with just 1 videographer and 1 photographer (me). because there really is just 1 corner to stand at (the other corner with the witnesses really is not useable unless you dont want their faces to be in as well)
So 2 of us were really just restricted to that 1 remaining corner, right of the JOP. i didn't want my bobbing head to be in the video but i need those "I do" and "exchange of rings", "get the scroll" and "you may kiss the bride" shots which all happened in less than 5 minutes.
As for church and dinner, 2 photographers and 1 videographer is just about right.

That's why some wedding photographers state in the contract about "Exclusive Photographer", i.e no other hire photographers and only relatives may shoot and not get in the way. Frankly, for photojournalistic style, the human elements (the photographers around)adds to the picture (Anyway, photojournalists are supposed to be used to taking photos amongst a big crowd of other photographers, right? )

Would be even better if they have 2 different type of focal length lenses to cover. Was covering Ken Seet's cousin's wedding just last weekend, and during the dinner he brought along his cam and we had a chat and discuss on the various aspects that we're covering...must say I managed to learn a bit from him
