A wedding I've filmed at Sofitel Singapore City Centre.
Gatecrash at home, solemnisation and tea ceremony at the hotel, and lunch in the Wallich Ballroom, with a cycling pre-wedding shoot woven in.
Filming at Sofitel Singapore City Centre
The cycling shoot
Zhi Xiang and Michelle bonded through cycling, so we did a short pre-wedding shoot on their bikes and wove it through the wedding film.
The morning
Both of them got ready at their own homes. The gatecrash at Michelle's home had the groomsmen blowing ping-pong balls across a table and copying one of the couple's photos, before Zhi Xiang read her a letter at the door and lifted her veil.
Solemnisation and tea ceremony
The solemnisation was in a function room at the Sofitel, with guests seated in rows. They each read their own vows, and the mics went through the hotel's sound system, which I recorded from the mixer with a small recorder on the handheld mic as a backup. The tea ceremony was at the hotel too.
Wallich Ballroom
Lunch was in the Wallich Ballroom. We did the couple and group shots in the green spaces beside the hotel.
How many hours to book
Zhi Xiang & Michelle booked 9 hours on the day, from the morning prep to the end of lunch. The cycling shoot was a separate session.
