Chris and Chelle had their beach ceremony and wedding reception at Pacific Sutera Resort in Kota Kinabalu earlier this month. The day was overcast and the winds were strong but it all turned out to be perfect as the breeze kept everyone comfortable throughout the beach ceremony ;) I was mentally doing my ’sun dance’ and keeping my fingers crossed that the weather would hold up and it did! Lucky me!
You might remember Chris and Chelle from their portrait session a couple of weeks ago. Well, I had a pretty hard time choosing my favourite pictures then and I had the same problem (good problem to have!) choosing my faves from their wedding day :p Here’s some of them :)
Holla hot bride!

Yes, the bride arrived via heli. How cool is that eh?




Meet Yaya, Chelle’s sassy niece. She’s an absolute doll!

I think this particular moment was really cute :) The pastor had actually asked everyone to close their eyes during the prayer and Chelle took a peek at Chris in the middle of it. Shoo cuteee!


Mr & Mrs Quarrie. wOOt!

Portraits time! The boys donned their best, suave ‘Zoolander’ look. I think Chris has it down pat.

Hawt ladies in the house! I loveeee the combination of the bridesmaids’ sashes and the bouquets. The hint of colors was a superb touch, Chelle!

Oh and did I mention that Chelle made her own dress? For real, for real :)

Then, it was on to the ballroom for the reception. Check out the backdrop & the cake! I likeeeee :)

Chelle’s sister, Marianne, was tearing and laughing throughout her speech.
You nearly made me cry along with you woman! ;p


And Mr & Mrs Quarrie gave a really sweet speech which…..

…got Chelle & Chris choked up. At the same time :p

The reception was fun, fun, fun! Everybody was living it up and partying like they had Saturday night fever! Or in this case, Sunday night fever.
Chelle’s Dad took the stage and sang a song for them and so did Chris’ sister & brother-in-law, who nearly stole the limelight that night! You all rock!



That’s Chris’ parents in front and Chelle’s Mum in red - they sure can partay!

Party peopleeeee!

Awwwwww…..

The rings, the rings!

Big thanks to Chris & Chelle’s bro-in-law for this shot of me together with Chelle, her sisters & bridesmaids. You ladies are absolutely awesome and thanks for making my day an absolute blast! x Btw, did you notice their sashes matches my new Shootsac cover? ;p

Chris and Chelle, words can’t express how much fun I had shooting your wedding day. It took me quite awhile to pick my faves for this post. There were so many shots which I wanted to share, not cause they ‘look good’ or cause the ‘composition was awesome’ but because the moments captured were real - the glances that you gave each other, the smiles and laughters throughout the whole day.
Having been behind the lens and being able to capture these moments when it happened, well it made the pictures extra special for me. It was evident that you both enjoyed yourself thoroughly and that you were marrying your best friend that day. And your family members? They are the bomb!
I am stoked that you two enjoyed your honeymoon at the Kapalai Islands. The pictures on FB looks absolutely wicked! Here’s wishing you two many more happy days and exciting travels together in the years to come! See you soon :D
speechless….simply awsome!
