about

I live for raw, authentic moments, travel, and beautiful light. I was born in Singapore but consider myself a world citizen. Living in Southern California for 5 years broadened my world view and my ability to connect with couples worldwide. I consider it a true privilege to be entrusted with capturing one of the most important days in a couple's life.

I specialize in documentary fine art photography, which means I focus on authentic moments along with posing for that perfect portrait. Your wedding day goes by so fast. For a few hours or days, you have all your loved ones, friends, and family gathered in the same place to celebrate with you. After these few hours or days, they will all go home and the day will be a blur. I know this from experience. 

I treat every wedding as my own and document each day as much as I can. The laughs, the funny stories, the quirky moments - all of it. I photograph not only you, but also your guests. I always photograph as a team of two (or more) to make sure we can cover two places at once. After your day, you will have a large collection of moments you missed because you were busy somewhere else. 

How did I begin? Story telling has always been my passion. I went to university to study English Literature, and realised later I had a knack for telling stories with not just words, but also photography. I delved into the fascinating world of photography in 2013 after attending a beautiful wedding in Southern California. I was moved by the emotions and stories of the day. A camera hasn't left my hands since.

I consider it an honor to be able to document such significant moments and I am grateful for my couples.




My photography style is 90% documentary 10% directed. I believe in capturing the true essence of you, your people, and your day. I direct as little as possible to show real connections and tell the real story. 

If this is a style that speaks to you, I would love to shoot your wedding!

Gary loves the energy, the emotions, and the genuine moments that unfold during these celebrations of love. As my second photographer, his role is to support her and ensure no precious memory goes unnoticed.
