Olivia was invited to be the flower girl at Welbert and Gigi’s Wedding. That was just the beginning of my worries, on how to bribe her to walk down the aisle properly, how to behave nicely at the wedding, how to be well mannered at formal sit down dinner.. and the list goes on.

It has been a long time for me to be a guest at a wedding. Years of being a wedding photographer, has meant weddings have meant work. Preparing my daughter as the flowergirl and attending a wedding with the family is.. actually.. harder work and more stressful than working haha.. I began the day by popping some Nurofen and Panadol.. as I woke up having a massive migraine from a night filled nightmares of what could go wrong at the wedding.

All stress aside, Olivia performed amicably. “Only” had to bribe her with one chuppa-chup lollipop, a bag of grape fruit gummies, and some Japanese milk lollies.

Below are some happy snaps that I took with a Canon 77D with a Tamron 16-300mm Zoom lens and a Canon 40mm F2.8 Pancake lens in the evening. Definitely not my usual wedding arsenal, but it performed OK, mind you I was juggling this compact Dslr camera, a bottle of beer and an erratic-3-year-old-sugar-high-flower-girl.

Congratulations long time friend Welbert and Gigi. ㊗️百年好合
