“Couldn’t Have Asked for a Better Team!”
We couldn't have asked for a better photographer and videographer than Petrina and Leon for our wedding day! They were the best choice we have made throughout our wedding planning journey.
A Merry Moment was the first and last we've considered. We met up with the both of them and we decided to settle with them on the same night because of the strong chemistry we had. They were so friendly and kind to listen to all our requests. Since then the planning journey with Petrina and Leon was stress/fuss-free - Petrina even gave us a lot of guidance as to what will be expected on the day, and also a time schedule so we could build our actual day schedule from there.
On our big day, Petrina and Leon knew exactly what to do and guided us along for almost all the shots (thank god for that!). They were also super patient with our parents/relatives making multiple requests which was very very kind of them. During the wedding, our friends and relatives kept on complimenting Petrina and Leon as they were very nice going around taking photos of them without us asking. They also reminded us to take photos with our parents which we were super grateful for (you get so busy on that day you'll forget taking photos with your parents!).
About 2 months after our wedding, we were pleasantly surprised to receive the photos and videos in a thumbdrive, placed super prettily in a beautiful AMM wooden box alongside with a bunch of our photoshoot photos tied nicely together. It was such a sweet gesture and so photo-worthy!!
The actual day photos were super beautiful! Petrina captured all the shots we have asked for, especially the candid ones capturing all the emotions which we love soooo much. The photos were clean and the edits done were really beautiful - it was such a right decision to entrust our big day to her, her skills are truly AMAZING.
Leon's videos - the short one played during the wedding ceremony and the long one (full day documentary) were OUT OF THE WORLD! I love his style of shooting (which was one of the main reasons why we went with AMM) and the videos take our breath away even till today. Watching the videos is like reliving our wedding day again and again, and we are so thankful for Leon's amazing shooting style and skills. It is definitely something we will watch 10, 20 years down our life journey.
Both of them are truly amazing and you will definitely not regret choosing them for your big day.
Thank you so much once again, Petrina and Leon!

“We Knew We Were in Good Hands.”
We’re very satisfied with the services provided by AMM team. We had Petrina and Leon for our AD photography and videography. Leon's SDE video has received lots of praise from my friends and relatives. Pet's photos has a unique style that my husband and myself love, we even topped up for a casual shoot before the wedding day.
We knew we were in good hands from the very start when we engage AMM. Petrina was meticulous and detail-oriented, offering us insightful suggestions as we checked in with them to plan for our AD. Petrina was like a personal assistant as well on our AD as she took care of my makeup and my gown. I’m really very grateful for a female photographer like her.
Leon's work was no doubt fantastic as we watched the SDE outside the ballroom. Initially, my husband and myself were worried as we felt awkward hearing our own voices in the video. However, he really nailed it with the video as it was natural, funny, emotional and we were really glad he captured all the important moments. Not to mention, his song choices were really awesome as well!
No regrets choosing AMM for our wedding journey and we would highly recommend them to other couples!

“Easily One of the Best Decisions.”
Engaging both Leon & Petrina as our actual day PG and VG is easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.
They are nice and friendly people, and they helped make things a lot easier for us on the AD as they are very well prepared. They are professional and knew what they were doing. Communication with them was swift and clear, via emails or Whatsapp.
Most importantly, the work that they produced was the kind that we are looking for. Clean & bright, with snippets of the little candid & sweet moments.
Thank you AMM for playing this important role in our wedding and we really appreciate everything!

“A BIG thank you!”
We would like to say a BIG thank you to Petrina and Leon for the wonderful work!! The photos were taken beautifully at great angles and lighting, and the videos captured all the right moments of our AD so perfectly! We were overwhelmed by how incredible the photos and videos turned out. Couldn’t have asked for a better PG/VG than A Merry Moment!!!
Thank you both for your hard work and time, patience and professionalism throughout our entire wedding process! Both of you are absolutely amazing and we definitely won’t hesitate to recommend you to our friends! Hopefully we will have a chance to engage you guys again in future for other shoots!

“Captured All Our Emotions.”
My husband and I engaged Leon for his videography services on our wedding day. His team was amazing - they captured all our emotions on that day and now we have something to look back on when we reminisce our wedding day. Thank you Leon and team!

“A Great Joy to Have Them!”
It was such a great joy having engaged both Petrina and Leon for our Pre-wed photography and actual day photography and videography! We love the memories that were captured for us, Petrina had an eye for precious moments and her photos and style were bright, clean and beautiful. Leon's works were also beautifully done, everything we wished for. We love working with the pair and thank you for being a part of the biggest party of our life!

“Saved us many times!”
I found A Merry Moment on Bridestory and checked out their instagram and website. Her photos amazed me and I really love the feel of it. My husband loves the black and white photos too, and we decided to make an appointment to meet Petrina.
The first meeting went off so well, we decided to sign up on the spot and hire her for our actual day wedding! We never regret making that decision. Since we are new couples like many of us out there, her insight on the wedding industry and experience really saved us many times. She recommended many vendors that we needed and also provided some time line in sight.
The best thing of all was the service we got on the day, her cheerfulness and insight on the photos to take really blew our mind. Thank you for being so understanding of my friends and family and give us what we want in the event.

“Really Talented.”
My husband and I cringe very easily at mushy stuff so the first time we met Leon, this was one of the important points we made sure to put across.
During our actual day, Leon was punctual and starting doing his thing immediately when he reached while I was still doing make up. He is very friendly, polite and at the same time very professional when he directed my family and relatives on where and what they should do to ensure the video looked nice. It is not easy to talk to older people especially on that day since it was so crowded and everyone was busy but Leon handled it so well.
Leon is also a cat lover!! (important to note because all cat lovers are good people).
The way Leon worked around my husband and I wasn’t intrusive, or when he directed us to do mushy stuff like kiss, hug or look at each other, we were very comfortable doing it because Leon was so encouraging, he kept telling us we are doing a good job and we look nice. Because of his encouragement and direction, my husband and I had so much fun and we didn’t have to worry that we look awkward. We didn’t even felt a tiny bit of cringe or awkward moments, yay!
Leon is really talented with a pair of good eyes!! Each individual have their own “good angle” and Leon seems to know it all. Everyone look so happy in my wedding video and for the first time in 26 years of my life, I truly felt so beautiful on that day. Thank you Leon and your team once again for capturing our important moments so beautifully. I still smile when I re-watch my wedding highlights for the n number of times. Thank you Leon and his team once again for the effort and hard work!

"Great Memories Beautifully Preserved."
After reviewing many wedding photographers’ profiles, we contacted Petrina and Leon to be our wedding photographer and videographer. After a successful pre-wedding session in Singapore, they took their crew and spent two days with us in Bali, where our wedding took place. It was such a great pleasure working with them, and the final product is absolutely breathtaking. We were very impressed by their professionalism, artistic sense and great execution on the wedding day. Most importantly, their final edited work shows great passion and extensive experience producing wedding photos and videos, which Chelsey watched over and over again. We highly recommend Petrina and Leon to anyone who is planning their weddings. Rest assure they will make the whole process a lot easier and preserve the beautiful moments in the most artistic way. Thank you and best of luck!

“Just Awesome.”
We are so thankful to have engaged Merry Moment for our Actual Day photography and videography. From our first meet-up with Leon and Petrina, we were secretly confident that our decision was right. They were friendly, and ever ready to give suggestions and feedbacks on any queries you might have. Petrina, aside from her photography, was attentive to my wife, on the actual day shoot. And man, the actual day video highlight prepared by Leon in less than 6 hours was just awesome. If you are looking for a professional, worry free, friendly and quality photographer and videographer, look no further than A Merry Moment

"Talented and Sincere."
A talented, sincere, and perceptive photographer.
We are truly grateful to have Leon as our wedding photographer. It was a small and intimate wedding, and Leon truly made it special and meaningful. I am an avid photographer myself, and I really needed to find someone who is sensitive to the unspoken language which exists in photography. This is a skill which Leon possesses. He is sensitive to capture these moments, and I like it because it's authentic, sincere and timely captured. There are many wedding photographers out there and they could capture the 'perfect' shots. Those pictures may look 'picture perfect' in your album, but they may not look natural. I'm not sure how to explain this in layman terms but Leon captures the natural look that we truly wanted. Not many photographers out there could do this, in my opinion.
Well, that's our preference and our personal experience with Leon.
Most importantly, what I really like about Leon is that he is flexible , highly adaptable and versatile in his approach . He is easy to work with, and through our discussions, I find a balance between both friendship, and professionalism. This is important for me, as Leon truly immerses himself in our wedding plans, and he also respects our wants and at the same time we are able to discuss things from both a photographer's point of view and our desired final outcome.
Last but not least, we are truly grateful that we not only have the wonderful photographs of our wedding, but also a true friendship. Please contact us, if you do visit Taiwan ya!

“Passionate About What They Do.”
This post is long overdue! We had Petrina for our wedding and she was absolutely amazing! Right from when we first met her, she was enthusiastic about her job and the wedding industry. We wanted to hire someone who was passionate about what they did because it would definitely show in the results. Petrina was great on the day of and she helped in everything she could. It was a really hot day and my makeup smudged right before we had to take some photos. She immediately helped me fix my make up flawlessly. I was so amazed that she knew what to do and she told me to took make up lessons just to be able to help out in situations like this. If you’re looking for someone who is dedicated to their craft and have the best results, you won’t regret having them for your wedding!!

“Blessed to Have Met Them.”
My wife and I are so very lucky to have met Petrina and Leon and to have chosen a Merry Moment for both our pre-wedding shoots and actual day photos and videos.
My Wife and I tend to be a little awkward in front of cameras but Petrina and Leon made us feel so comfortable that we had such a good time during our pre wed shoot! Every now and then, we still think back about that day and laugh about it. Hahaha!
We have read so many horror stories of wedding photos turning out so bad and it’s scary as weddings are once in a lifetime. We had full confidence in A Merry Moment and we were definitely not disappointed! The pictures were amazing, the video captured all the important moments that made the wedding awesome and we had a blast watching them! Thank you A Merry Moment for being part of our milestone and we will definitely get you guys again to help us with our next milestone, maybe maternity shoot?
Thanks so much once again Petrina and Leon, we are both very blessed to have met you guys!

“So Impressed with their work!”
A Merry Moment was a great decision. We had an initial meeting months before the wedding and they shared so many tips with us that came in very useful during the planning stage.
Leon and Petrina are extremely experienced and talented in their craft. They will know your wedding programme in and out, and are quick to anticipate issues that may arise during the course of the day. I love corresponding with them as they reply efficiently and concisely, saving me a lot of hassle and time and I can focus on other stuff.
During our wedding day, they were so full of energy. Our wedding was exceptionally long from 5.30am in the morning through to 10pm+ at night. That’s a total of 16.5 hours of non-stop work!!! They went the extra mile in so many ways. Petrina is like your additional bridesmaid at times, she really looks out for you. Thanks Petrina for offering to stay longer than you should just to capture a few more precious moments.
The morning highlights video they did for us within the same day was stitched together perfectly. The best part is that it even included my first dinner march in which had happened only minutes before! It surprised so many of my guests, they are still raving about it today, two months after my wedding!
They sent us 6 fully edited pictures and a perfectly edited highlights video the very next afternoon for social media postings. I bet they didn’t sleep! And this week, we have received our full set of pictures of the main event, and so many lovely candid shots of our guests’ reactions, as well as a 1 hour+ long video capturing all the speeches and important moments all beautifully edited.
I’m so glad we didn’t skimp on getting a great photographer and videographer. It’s the most important! I’m so impressed with your work Petrina and Leon. THANK YOU!
