Awesome Memories Photography began with our own love story (all 15 years of it!), which is filled with moments that we cherish and connect with. We are glad we have found each other to walk on this journey together. The highs and lows of marriage have strengthened our relationship.
Being hopeless romantics, we enjoy witnessing couples in love, and feel very privileged to capture these love stories, each in its own unique way. And not only that: We also cherish the friendships that we have with our couples, all of whom have become friends.
Michelle — Creative Enthusiast and Lead Memory-Capturer:
When I started planning our own wedding, I was working as a graphic designer. I already had a good eye for pretty things, but as a bride-to-be, I fell in love with all the beautiful details and creative energy that came with it. I also discovered my passion for shooting “LOVE” as a subject. Being around happy people; observing precious moments unfolding; witnessing people in love: these are scenes that make my heart melt.
When I capture these memories for others — and see their smiles, tears, laughter — I am home. I went fulltime into personalized photography, and have not looked back since! I’m blessed to have my beloved husband, Alvin, supporting me all these while and he shoots with me as well! It’s another way of spending lovely times together!
Alvin — Romantic Believer & Memory-Capturer:
My journey in wedding photography began when I’d tag along with Michelle on shoots. Being a fellow romantic, soon enough, I found myself eager to help her in capturing memories of love for our couples. I thrive on meeting new couples, getting to know their love story, finding that connection and bond between them, and finally translating all that into photos for them.
On the business side of things, I mainly handle the admin and finance (‘boring’ :p) stuff, while I leave the creative juices to Michelle.
