Joke: How will you or anyone ever describe a doctor marrying a doctor?
Answer: " It's like BUY one GET one FREE... "

(LOL) Haha... This is a joke given by one of the speakers on the dinner reception night, and it got everyone laughing away. Just in case some of you are still in doubts, both the Groom & Bride are doctors!

Well, that was just a teaser or head-start before the real story comes in... Here goes...

Year 2009 marks a whole new chapter for both Dr. Danny (groom) and Dr. Kirstie (bride), who have been together through all good and bad times since the year 2002. Danny met Kirstie during his trip to Venice and from then onwards, had tried many many ways to win her heart. At first his attempt was to no avail as Kirstie was somehow playing hard to get. But thanks to his many attempts and persistency, his hard work got paid off when they finally started dating back in UK. From then onwards, everything was history.

In year 2006, Danny proposed to Kirstie and she said 'yes'. It was then they had decided to migrate to Melbourne (Australia) in order to start a new life together. We were told that it was not easy for Kirstie as she had to give up her work back in UK. But it is all worth it as seeing both of them happily married to each other and starting a family in Melbourne, in the hope to start up a medical practice together in the future.

It certainly was not easy for both of them to have came through to this stage. Yet nothing is impossible. ;)

On their wedding dinner reception, we certainly did not expect a doctor to come up with a fantastic yet heartfelt powerpoint slide of their love journey for his wife! I must say he had seriously put up a whole lot of time and efforts to make this powerpoint slide. During the powerpoint presentation, Kirstie was touched by his work and could not resist to tear! Well, we all felt the love as well, let alone her.

The wedding was all good as things went smooth and as planned (except for there was a short delay at groom's place in the morning as it appeared that the 'heng dais' were not on time... hehe) Above all, the videography went well as the newly-wed were friendly, nice, coorperative and spontaneous. Hmm... what can we say, we have never seen the cheeky side of Kirstie, not until the moment when we were scrubbing through the tapes for shots to insert into their SDE (Same-Day-Edit) wedding video (the SDE was screened to guests in the reception night).

Stay tuned for the complete wedding highlights which will be posted up soon! :)

Ladies and gentlemen, allow us to present to you... Danny + Kirstie's SDE video...

Before we move on further, here are some snippets from their wedding video...


About 6 months back, we had the opportunity to shoot for this lovely Indian couple -- Surin and Rena, whose professions are accountant and lawyer respectively. When we were first introduced to this couple by Jason (FYI, Jason is from Camwork Photo), we thought that Surin is a rather serious person as he has the serious look. But after having a few conversations with him, it turned out that he is quite a nice and friendly person to work with. And his wife, Rena is a total-smile and absolute friendly person. On the wedding day, since it was our first attempt in shooting Indian wedding, the newly-weds were so nice to have arranged Rena's aunt to liaise with us and inform us of the Indian wedding's ceremony details, just so that we could capture the important moments and details of the whole ceremony that are significant to them. The whole wedding shoots were a fun and meaningful as we get to learn and understand the traditional Indian wedding rituals. It was truly a memorable one for us as well as for the Couple as things went all well on the wedding day. Both Surin and Rena were co-operative during the shooting moments... and they like the video output. *wink*

Above all, they are helpful, generous and a loving couple. We are grateful and thankful to have worked with them, as their acknowledgment of our work has given us the extra strength and confidence to continue shooting for indian weddings. Hereby, we would like to wish both of them a happy married life ahead with many children!! =)

Ladies and gentlemen, do allow us to present to you... a shorter version of Surin & Rena's Wedding Video.

Another love story was unfold... the knots are now being tied. 30th November 2008 marks the celebration of love for this lovely newly-weds, Dr. Prenav and Dr. Rashmi.

This is another traditional Indian Wedding video successfully done by our Doodle's team. The newly-weds had requested to screen their wedding day highlights on their dinner reception for guests' viewing. We had put quite a fair bit of effort in making the video highlights a creative yet memorable for the newly-weds couple & the guests.

On the reception night, the Groom (Dr. Prenav) has given the Bride (Dr. Rashmi) a surprise by performing 'live' singing of their song as they 'march-in' to the ballroom. It was such a touching moment for all the guests. During the reception, the Groom's family had dropped a surprise to the newly-weds right after their toast to the guests. The 'surprise' was that one of Prenav's cousins flew all the way back from Perth, Australia to attend and sang her self-composed song (which were composed specially for the newly-weds) "live" on the stage. Her presence took Prenav & Rashmi by surprise and they gave a warm hug to the cousin soon as she finished her "live" performance. And all in all, everyone had fun on that night and it certainly was a tiring week for the newly-weds as they had had all the happenings going on in a full week. However, they will still get to 're-live' the moments as they view their wedding videos and photos in the future.
