We had less than 3 minutes to take some portraits for the 2 love birds during the midst of their reception, within those precious 3-minutes of shooting time, this shot came out to be one of my favorite because it’s showing Jake’s gentle loving side and Sarah’s timeless beauty.

I would also like to share with you the lyrics from Sarah & Jake’s First Dance as husband and wife  - “Grow Old with You” – fyi my favorite Song too because Jeremy use to sing this song to me via ICQ Chat back in the old days…hahahahaha!!

Grow Old with You – Adam Sandler

I wanna make you smile whenever you’re sad
Carry you around when your arthritis is bad
All I wanna do is grow old with you

I’ll get your medicine when your tummy aches
Build you a fire if the furnace breaks
Oh it could be so nice, growing old with you

I’ll miss you
I’ll kiss you
Give you my coat when you are cold

I’ll need you
I’ll feed you
Even let ya hold the remote control

So let me do the dishes in our kitchen sink
Put you to bed if you’ve had too much to drink
I could be the man who grows old with you
I wanna grow old with you

Curious about how we create these photos? All the praises goes to our photography father Scott Robert Lim. We learned the off camera lighting and posing techniques from him @ http://www.scottrobertworkshop.com/

A guessing game just for fun: below two images, one was taken by Je and another one was taking by Za (Je = Jeremy &  Za = Zabrina, ok? don’t cha know?) Can you guess who took top position picture and who took the bottom picture? ? Hahaha!!

This is our very first wedding where Za actually got to DANCE with the bride while working hahahhaa!! This is such a fun wedding to shoot and I LOVE Bridget and Ryan!! Don’t cha love her bridal party’s different green tone bridesmaid dresses? I think this should be the nicest trend to do multi-color BM dresses.   Leave us a comment if you like their color We wish both Bridget and Ryan living happily ever after.
