I have to be honest. The first dance is my favourite part of a wedding day. There are moments in weddings that transcend time, moments where the emotion in the room is palpable and for me it usually happens during the first dance. This photo of Shi and Eric's first dance at Lions Garden is proof of capturing that moment.
With soft lights twinkling above and a romantic ambiance surrounding them, Shi and Eric sway gently, lost in each other's presence. The background fades into a blur of happy guests, their smiles just as warm as the scene unfolding before them.
What makes this moment truly special is its simplicity. There's no need for grand gestures, the connection between them is evident in the way they move together, step by step, heart to heart.
Lions Garden always provides the perfect setting for moments like this, with its elegant charm and intimate atmosphere. The lighting is exquisite and makes a wedding photographers job much easier. It's a reminder that the most unforgettable parts of a wedding often lie in the quiet, authentic exchanges shared between two people in love.
The first dance is more than a tradition, it's a declaration. It's about savouring the beginning of a journey together, and this image captures that beautifully.
