Love of the Marrying Kind

As we have announced on our Facebook page, we will be giving some hefty discounts for Goli-powered packages booked within the next 2 weeks.

Why ?
Because both Gene & I just spent Tuesday staring googly-eyed at each other in celebration of our 3rd wedding anniversary.

Alright, that’s not true… I mean the googly-eyed part. But yes! It was our anniversary and part of how we spent it was to reflect on the last year and realize that it was a big year for us in many ways. Most importantly, it was filled with lots of good stuff (some hard to see but we know it’s there if you just dig deep enough).

AND SO… we want to share what joy and thankfulness we have with all you couples who are on the road to be married!

What is happening?
All local Goli-powered packages,
i.e. Portraits with Goli,
Half Day Actual Day Photography Packages
& Full Day Actual Day Photography Packages by Goli
that will be done in Singapore are going for 30% off their usual prices.

All Destination Packages get S$300 off their basic package price.

So no one, (located) far or wide, gets left out!

Who gets these discounts?
Now, these are the only conditions…
You who books the above listed packages must be using the package(s) for your
Engagement,
Pre-wedding,
Wedding
And/or Post-wedding photography.

That means yes, only the marrying kind!

AND you have to confirm your booking with us within the next 2 weeks (from the date of this post).

So let us make your journey towards your special day a little sweeter…

Drop us an email at AskGoli@photosbymarbles.com for package details or to book your very own sweet deal today.

Cheers!
Gene & Oli

A not obviously weddingy photo…

This is a page from Wee Ching & Huili’s album that I did recently. It’s something that I honestly don’t really do all the time but this time, it felt really appropriate for them.

I’ve decided to blog about this instead of all the other images from their wedding that I love, to share yet another perspective that Gene & I have when we participate in our couple’s wedding day.

Personally, this set of images brings back lots of memories for me.
To the days of when I did commercial shoots & basically everything non-wedding. Where each image I produced had all the heart & art I could muster up but it would still lack something that at that time, I couldn’t put my finger on…

Today, every abstract & still that Gene & I capture becomes so much more than just a picture of an object. We get the chance to showcase items that we learn will not only tell a story on it’s surface but will invoke an avalanche of ‘mini-stories’ of their own.

And what blows us away every time are the cascade of stories and even more memories that will flood back each time these moments are relived, because if we are privileged to the ones we know, how many more are there that’s just shared between our couple.

Just like the items in the set above, which each have their own little tale to tell. Like how the pot of flowers would tell you about how Wee Ching & Huili’s friends spent a good portion of time in the sun to set up the place perfectly for them and how the fabulous food would tell you about how they came to pick such a lovely place for their reception.

Not every picture has to have a veil/tiara/rings to make it a wedding picture… They should celebrate you and the day you had! Help you remember the great times and trigger memories. That’s what flipping through your pictures should do! (at least that’s what we want our pictures of your day to do :P )

Fantastic! And exciting!

So here’s to more stories that start that cascade of great memories!

We know it’s going to be different for everyone. Because everyone is special. Because it’s Your Love, Your Story. And we look forward to being there with you.

Cheers!

Start 2012 with a blast!

Happy new year everyone!

Hope you’ve been having a great festive season! And for those in asia, there’s more to the festivities really soon yeah? :D

We’re going to do things a little differently this year (so that all the creative juices keep flowing!).

So first up, we’re going to start 2012 with some really special ‘Start 2012′ Packages priced at, yup! SGD2012!

They’re so special (especially to us) that we only have a limited number of these packages available for you to snap snap snap up!

There are 4 individual packages to choose from,

* A Fine Bridal Experience (1 of our Bridal Portrait Packages with special print return)
* Shoot Me Gene! (Yes, you really, literally ask Gene to shoot you for the day)
* Totally Oli (Which allows Oli to do what she’s been wanting from day 1 which is to give, give, give…)
and
* Get your Goli Rolling (Watch out for double the fun with the 2 rolling marbles!)

And finally, we have a super *’1 + 1 = you’ which is our Bridals + AD combo package. It’s sooooo good that it’s details are a secret! (Alright, a secret until you AskGoli which we will then leak the details to you…)

These packages are definitely not our usual ones, we’ve either added more to them, or added more to them, so yeah, we’ve added more to them. :P
So start your 2012 with us by getting more details &/or ‘chope-ing’ your Start 2012 package! Reach us at AskGoli@photosbymarbles!

Till next time!

Cheers from Goli!

Telling Your Love. Telling Your Story. – Zhenyuan & Rachael

For those of you who know about ‘The 5 Love Languages’ (See Here!), you would have most probably tried to find out what’s yours.

Well, Goli thinks that with what Zhenyuan & Rachael have shared with us, ‘Acts of Service’ & ‘Receiving Gifts’ should speak quite well about the relationship they share together.

In all their time together, one thing that has kept them going (through school, National Service & life in general) has been love shared through one-of-a-kind, hand-made cards from Zhenyuan.

As Rachael tells, “There is one thing I know I have in my relationship, which makes me very proud of Yuan, is his efforts in making cards for me. He inspired me and made me realize how much true love could do.“

Many times love is really just about the simple things in life. And knowing how to look for and treasure those things is one great way to keep reminding ourselves how great we have it!

“Our love proves that you don’t need expensive dates at restaurants, or lots of branded bags or watches to be happy.”

We know that what keeps us together is different with every couple. Like they say, one man’s medicine may be another man’s poison. That’s because we’re all wonderfully unique, no two are the same!

So, have you found that one special thing that you share with your significant other that keeps you going through good times & bad? If it’s not yet, we hope Zhenyuan & Rachel’s story has encouraged you just like it has for us.

“The world is ever-changing. But one thing never changed; our laughter, our sense of humor, our commitment, and most importantly our love.”

Cheers & with lots of love!

As an expression of our gratitude for their lovely & uplifting story, Goli presents Zhenyuan & Rachael with a very special portrait session.
Goli’s gift to you as we celebrate our 5th anniversary as Goli. :)
