Spend the Rest of Your Life With Me: A Proposal at Sunset

There is nothing more instant recognizable romantic gesture than when a man proposes marriage down on one bent knee and ask “Will you marry me?”. Catholics bend on one knee as a sign of respect toward the tabernacle before taking their seats for the Mass. Knights bend down on one before the king when being knighted and when presenting themselves in a show of honor to royalty. In war, the losing party would kneel in front of the army who won the battle in surrender.

Respect. Honor. Surrender. Those are the reasons behind the bended knee in a marriage. As a sign of respect, the man lowers himself as an act of humility before the woman he desires to spend the rest of his life with.

Spend the Rest of Your Life With Me: A Proposal at Sunset is a beautiful proposal advert shoot in collaboration with producer The Wedding Scoop and The Wedding Stylist. Featuring real-life husband and wife Justin and Shuyi, production is a breeze as their emotions, affections and touches are all natural, and we absolutely love that!

Ping Wei and Xue Er

With the glorious sunrays and clear azure sky, today’s weather was what we would call “wedding-perfect” for wedding photography and videography. Much like the lovely young couple, Ping Wei and Xue Er, their wedding was one that was both vibrant and beautiful. Taking place in the heartlands, Xue Er‘s energetic bridesmaids put up an award-worthy gatecrashing. We would sum it up with three C’s: challenging, creative and crazy. It was easy to feel the couple’s energtic spirit and zest for life while we were photographing and filming. Thank you for making us feel 10 years younger.

90 SECONDS FIREWORKS // FULLERTON BAY HOTEL

90 seconds fireworks filmed from one of the wedding videography and wedding photography coverage held at Fullerton Bay Hotel during the 2013 National Day celebration period. The actual fireworks display lasted about 4 minutes. Fireworks have been used in various kinds of celebration including weddings. Below is a little insights on the history of fireworks for those knowledge thirsty folks.

History

Fireworks were widely believed to have originated from Ancient china. It is thought that, as early as 200 B.C., the Chinese had already stumbled upon a sort of natural firecracker: They would roast bamboo, which explodes with a bang when heated due to its hollow air pockets, in order to ward off evil spirits. At some point between 600 and 900 A.D., Chinese alchemists—perhaps hoping to discover an elixir for immortality—mixed together saltpeter (potassium nitrate, then a common kitchen seasoning), charcoal, sulfur and other ingredients, unwittingly yielding an early form of gunpowder. The Chinese began stuffing the volatile substance into bamboo shoots that were then thrown into the fire to produce a loud blast. The first fireworks were born. Soon, paper tubes came to replace the bamboo stalks, and the Chinese discovered that their fiery sticks could be used for more than just scaring away ghosts and celebrating special events. By the 10th century, they had developed crude bombs and begun attaching firecrackers to arrows that rained down on their adversaries during military engagements. Two hundred years later, they learned how to fire explosives into the air and guide them toward enemy targets, essentially building the first rockets. Used outside the field of battle, the same technology allowed fireworks masters to put on the first aerial displays.
