Where to go for Outdoor Photoshoot ?

[jessica_halida]

Hi Seafaith,

Z wedding lend that ne to me, it's their OTR.
I went to Thian Hock Keng Temple to did that shot

Well actually I did my PS just like everybody else, 3 spot and that's all

I believe you can find typical type of my cheongsam easily. Try to ask around, I saw Amanda has something similar as well.

Cheers,
Jessica

 

[seafaith]

Thanks Jessica.

Can u tell me where is your location for PS? i like your photo very muc.

Thanks

 

[jessica_halida]

Hi Seafaith,
Those place were at Thian Hock Keng Temple, Changi construction site next to SIA aircraft parking lot and in front of fullteron hotel(night shoot).

Hope this helps...!!!

 

[seafaith]

Thanks Jessica

Hi Jessica, how many outfits did you loan frm Z wedding? They would only lend me one outdoor WG for shooting, but its so boring to have the same gown throughout the whole outdoor shoot. Btw, any idea if ah soon will allow us to bring a friend along?

 

[jessica_halida]

they lend me 2 for the afternoon and 1 for the night shoot. By right I guess I only get 1 for the afternoon and 1 for the night shoot, but I don't know how my designer managed to persuade her bos and gave me another one
I am not sure whether ah soon will allow you to bring friends around, as I had never done so. May be you can ask him, I think that's giving more certainty than asking me

All the best with you PS...!!!

 

[kar]

Jessica, my PS is this sat, and wont get to meet ah soon except on the day itself, so no chnace to ask also. Thanks though... hope my pics will turn out well and natural. hee.

Hi dear all

Hi

Jessica care to share the photographer at Bali..and details like your photoshoot album how they send to you wehn you are back to singapore or you got any infor to share

[email protected]

 

[jessica_halida]

hi Clar,
unfortunately the photographer in Bali(the one that I've used) has no website. But, I had a better alternative : http://www.photofactorybali.com/
His pricing is about the same as the one I used, but he is more used to having overseas client. Just for your info that my husband is balinese, so that time I had no problem sending my album back to sg, I simply ask my in law to fetch and do send it. But I believe with photofactory you can have your album sent easily, try to ask windee the photographer

Hi Carebear

Wonder if u still hanging around singaporebridal website. Mind sharing with me ur PS photos taken at UBIN and KELONG?

I'm very interested in that concept but isit very warm? Mind sharing ur experience with me?

 

[kym377]

Hi Jessica,

Your photos are so nice. I'm thinking of having my prewedding PS done in bali as well after seeing your pictures. Is it cheaper to get a local photographer in bali? Do you have to bring your own gowns along? What abt makeup?

 

[jessica_halida]

hi kym,
yes, it is absolutely cheaper to get local photographer there. First you don't need to pay their airfares, second they are more knowledgeable of the area to take pics and weather. Last time I did it for around 600 SGD, all negative returned. You can either bring your own gown or you can borrow one. The previous photographer that I quoted had affiliation with make up artist and local BS.
Hopefully you find this helpful.

 

[midas]

hi jessica,

thanks for sharing the photos...nice

did u had 2 BS? i noticed tat u mentioned about Z wedding as ur BS but u also wore a WG from Amanda Lee during ur AD...

 

[jessica_halida]

hello midas,
yes, I have 2 BS as my reception and solemnization happens on 2 different date, and therefore I wear 2 WG.

 

[midas]

hi jessica,

wow...u must be rich, can spend on 2 BS..so envious

did u use a Bali local MUA for ur AD? i like the hairdo...its nice.

 

[jessica_halida]

hi midas,
thank you for all the kind words, I guess I am just lucky to find a good deal, it doesn't necessary means spending a lot tho, because my gown is OTR. Yes, I use a local MUA for my AD The only person I feel worthed to fly to Bali from sg is my AD photographer, Kuang www.39eastimages.com

Cheers,
Jessica

 

[midas]

hi jessica,

i see...the Bali MUA is gd. ur AL WG is nicer than the Z one hehehe, and kwang did a superb job capturing ur important day

thks for sharing ur happy moments n merry x'mas!

 

[ssybaby]

Hi

Can i have Z wedding contact nbrs

Tks

 

[kaixuan]

Hi, anyone have any good recommendation for outdoor photoshoots? Is there any nice church in Singapore that i can actually go in and take photo there? Sentosa is one of my choice... but i can choose 3 location for my photoshoots so i still got 2 more places to tink of... pls help me... any good recommendation out there????

 

[prisbaby86]

Angeline, maybe u can try out
??? i know Asian civilization museum got a nice view , with the spore river the buildings as background.. especially @ night....

 

[pastillies]

I went to the newly revamp National musuem for my recent PS. also went to a pub for my shoots.

hi angeline, there's actually alot of locations to be taken at sentosa itself, not jus the beach, but heard there's this chapel or somthing, & u can also take at the Big Tree...its near the Sentosa golf club. hence u'll not only be able to get the beach , the sand effect on ur photos but also be able to get some greenary on ur photos.

 

[chunz]

Hi PAstillies,
Can i chk wif u do u hv to pay National Museum $ for rental of space there to do ur photoshoot? cos im quite interested as well,,, thanks.... Cos i heard u need to pay abt $105 for 3 hrs..

 

[pastillies]

Hi csc, u only need to apply for permit & pay if u're going inside the Musuem to take photos (taking interiors)...for me , I took at the surroundings (exterior); i.e outside & with the building as backdrop...didnt went inside the museum, so it's FOC. However even if u are willing to pay to go inside the musuem to take,strictly no photos at the gallery...

ya think the charges is abt $100...maybe extra $5 is for GST..

 

[lingguan]

I like natural shots like lalang. Can anyone advise me which month is the most appropriate?

 

[lavender_sky]

hi jessica,
the white cheongseom dress is a EG or tea dress? looks so beautiful..im aso from Z wedding, requested for cheongseom-like gowns but din see tis..getting a marron, mandarin-collar EG..not too sure goes well in the Thiam Hock Keng Temple as background...

 

[lavender_sky]

Hi Pastillies,
can i check which pub u go to? any special arrangements? i tot of looking at hotel lounge too..

can share ur photos?

 

[pastillies]

hi lavender_sky,sure, however my photos are still not ready, gotta wait for another 2 mths then can collect my album back..

will share with u once i get them

wat's ur email?

oh as for Pub, I went to this pub call SKIN.
think there's a website u can check out, skin.com.sg
i think hotel lounge generally do not really "welcome" us for Photoshoots unless it's ur hotel that u're having ur wedding dinner at, then u can make arrangements...cos they dun want us to distrub them doing business....

even for the pub, i was given a particular timeslot...which is before they open for business...there's another place can consider, V-Tea room @ esplanade, nice place...however they only accept bookings for photoshoot during wkdays, wkends they say quite crowded...(cos my PS was on a wkend, hence at fist wanted to go there & take, but in the end decided otherwise)

 

[gnm2]

Hi pastillies, You have very interesting locations for your PS. Any other recommendation ?

I am actually considering National Musuem. How to apply for a permit?

Do you have to pay for V-Tea/Skin for PS ?
Thank you so much ya....

 

[lavender_sky]

hi Pastilles,
oh, i had seen some pre-wedding pics on the web before, din know that tis V-Tea room. ya, nice setting though had not been there yet.
mine is aso a wkend, tat's means quite hard too..

 

[pastillies]

hi mushroom,
recommendations ah..u can also consider Alexandra for greenry, Tanjong pagar railway, Punggol/changi for greenry/lalangs....Sentosa for greens & beach...depends on wat kind of feel/mood u wat ur albumn to have...for us, as we taken greenry & beach/sunset during our Post ROM photoshoots, hence for our Photoshoot we want a more urban & chic feel(those like "in mood of Love" kind) hence choosen National musuem & pub.

I went to Telok ayer to take some "olden days" effect too with Kua.. Club street is another place u can consider, as the streets & shophouses makes nice backdrops

For national musuem, must pay $100+GST to apply for permit to take inside the musuem. Taking outside the musuem is FOC. however our PG mention to us before that they tried to take outside & surrounding of national musuem before, but the moment they alight fm the car, was being chase by security, hence my PG advise me tt time to call & double check. Even after applying for permit to take inside the musuem, strictly no taking inside the gallary.

other than national musuem, there's also SAM (sinagpore art musuem) & ACM (asian civilisation musuem).

For V-Tea room...think it's $25 or $30 for half an hour + 2 complimentry pots of Tea. But they advise wkdays is better.

Oh Lavender_sky, Vtea room is @ Esplanade. mmm even if urs is on a wkend dun worry there's still alot of other palaces to consider

mine was also on a wkend...

disucss with ur HB the type of feel & mood u want for ur album first, so easier to narrow down places...i.e more natural ? more urban?

just my 2 cents worth! cheers!

 

[gnm2]

Hi pastilles,

Thank you so much for your suggestion.

Telok ayer??Which part of telok ayer??

Did you manage to see the national museum effect when u took with the building's exterior? Is it nice ?

 

[noobie]

Hi all, I'm thinking of having my photoshoot @ Villa Bali (www.littlebali.com) on 27 June 2007.. The price is $150 for 3hrs.. But I won't be needing it for the full 3hrs.. Probably only 1hr or less.. Anyone interested to share the rental price with me? Pls PM me or contact me at 93372994. Thanks!

 

[felin]

Hi pastillies,

Just wanna when u go to the pub -SKIN for photoshoot,,, do u hv to pay? how do u go abt it?? thanks...

 

[kj2126]

Hi,

Does anyone knows where to get shops/places with european kinda decos (ie: chanderliers with floral wallpaper)?

 

[joanne]

Hi ling,

just happen to read abt this thread. I heard from my BS photographer that the best time to go for lang PS is in the month of april or may.

 

[yelody]

Hi,

Which part of Alexandra can we find the swing?
Do they have lalangs there as well?

Thank You!!!

 

[joyce_space217]

Hi Yelody,

I am sad to share with you that when my photography partners went to do pre-wedding shoot a month ago, the nice swing on the tree at Alexandra Rd has been taken down. Probably cos the residents there find it annoying to often have couples taking photos there.

They do not have lalangs there. Usually people like to have shots of the long road with the fence, the "tree stub" which people like to sit on, the low saga seed trees and the big lawn.

The exact location is: Map Link

I had my lifestyle shoot done there with my boyfriend last year for our 5th year anniversary. Though the swing is gone, but I would love to share about the lawn.

The photos taken at this place does not "look local" as you won't see buildings budging out in the edge of your photos, which are tell-tale signs of the location.

I've heard from my partners about shooting in lalang field at Punggol. Maybe you can check with your photographer?

Good luck for your outdoor shoot!

Cheers,
Joyce

National Museum - you can email them for the application form. The charges will be $107

All areas are allowed photography except the galleries.

http://www.nationalmuseum.sg/ -- Facilities -- Photography & Filming

Singapore Arts Museum - there are no charges, but you are not allowed to do your photography in the galleries. There are also restriction on the parking which you may like to check with SAM.

Asian Civilization Museum - Minumum and Maximum booking of 1 hour. Limited to shoot in Foyer, Courtyard and one more place, can't shoot in the galleries.

Villa Bali - their website is under renovation right now, you may like to call them at 64736763 to contact the Events' Manager for booking. The shoot can only be conducted before 4pm, when they start the operations for the day.

For the museums and Villa Bali which require booking, you will need to contact them 3 days prior to the shoot.

[yelody]

Hi Joyce, thanks for your info!!!

I'll like to have my outdoor shoot taken at Changi Broadwalk too. i'm searching for another one. Most probably will be the Punggol Lalang.

But my hubby was saying that if go punggol, there's only lalang to be taken, not many other spots, is it true?

 

[joyce_space217]

Hi Yelody,

I've checked with my photography partner, he agrees that there are not many spots for photo-taking, but it's not just all lalang. There are barren tracks, dried up trees, full crown trees, short grass, etc.

Even though the place might be limited by not many photo-taking spots, the photographer can get different angles, different directions to capture different moods.

So depending on the theme of the photoshoot that you would like to achieve ultimately, you may like to communicate with your photographer during the conceptualizing session for your shoot.

Cheers,
Joyce

[b_n_l]

has anyone taken photos at chijmes or tj pagar railway before? Are these locations permissible?
Tks...

 

[genecheng]

Hi.

As mentioned, there is a charge by CHIJMES if you are taking photos in their premises.

For the railway, do you mean inside the station or along the railway that goes to JB? If along the railway, not that I know of. But you have to be careful if you are on high heels and in a long gown though. It's quite hard to see where you are walking in that attire.

[pongy]

Hi,
If i want to have my PS in the railway station, how shd i go about doing it? I understand they dun allow anymore.

In addition, is there any nice spot along the railway that goes JB that can take PS?

 

[jazzy_chimes]

hi there,
have anybody taken their PS in any marinas or yacht clubs before?

 

[cherrie20]

Hi there..

Any idea where i can still find those old haunted-looking houses for photo shot?

 

[genecheng]

Hi Esttie

Check out this Web page. The first photo in the list. It's an old "haunted" house.
