Smoking hot

2/11

Coloured smoke bombs lent plenty of drama and an urban edge, especially in this vivid turquoise hue.

While it may not be available/legal in Singapore, consider them for your destination wedding shoots. Check if your venue allows for them, and if your photographer is comfortable and has the ability to shoot with the smoke bombs.

Love, Dad

4/11

The best pictures tell stories and this touching one depicts the bride's father holding a red umbrella, which as part of Chinese wedding customs, indicates warding off negative elements.

But as the photographer Josh says, "I see it as a father continuing to protect, love and shelter his daughter all the way until the groom officially takes over (although, a parent's love for their child will never wane)."
