Reviews of Bottled Groove Photography
We engaged Elle to be our wedding photographer and we thoroughly enjoyed the shoot. We quickly broke the ice and bonded, which made the shoot a breeze and more importantly, a lot of fun! Elle was very open to knowing more about our vision and what we wanted everything to look like, and she totally managed to do it even better than what my wife and I envisioned. Thank you so much for the wonderful time and photos, we love them all!
We cannot recommend Eugene and Dexter highly enough. They were amazing photogs who went above and beyond to capture lovely and unique shots for us.
Eugene was our pre-wed photog, and he made the photoshoot an experience in itself. He put us right at ease with his humour and assurance; and we had lots of fun during the shoot.
Dexter was also awesome and took lovely shots for our AD. He captured candid and real shots, allowing us to just bask in and enjoy the moment.
If you’re looking for a creative photographer who loves experimenting with different shots and angles, Eugene and Dexter are your guys!
Where to begin. I cannot put into words how thankful we are that Eugene and Levin were able to capture our special moments on camera. From the moment I chose Eugene as my photographer four months before my proposal, he demonstrated exceptional professionalism and genuine enthusiasm for making our day special. They were both so on top of everything - I had no worries outside of preparing to pop the question to my fiancé, Elise.
I had never been to Singapore before our planned proposal, so I really put all my trust in him... he did not disappoint. His knowledge of the area and expertise in photography really shone through as he provided valuable advice on the best spots within the Raffles hotel and the ideal time of day for capturing the perfect light. He took the time to understand my vision and made thoughtful suggestions that enhanced every element of the experience.
On the day of the proposal, despite the hot and humid weather, Eugene and Levin remained upbeat and professional. They braved the heat with smiles, making the atmosphere feel relaxed and enjoyable.
Eugene and Levin’s ability to capture candid moments is truly remarkable. They knew exactly when to step back and let the moment unfold while also guiding us for some stunning posed shots. The result was a beautiful collection of photos that tell the story of our special day, filled with genuine emotion and joy.
We were blown away by the final images. We look at them almost every day and can't stop smiling (and honestly tearing up a bit too...) Each photo is a work of art, showcasing not just our love, but also the stunning backdrop of Singapore. Eugene truly has an eye for detail and an innate talent for storytelling through his lens.
If you're looking for a photographer in Singapore who is dedicated, creative, and truly passionate about his craft, look no further than Eugene, Levin, and the Bottled Groove team. They made our proposal unforgettable, and I can’t thank them enough for the beautiful memories we now have to cherish forever. Thank you both so much. and hopefully see you again soon!
-Elise and Yong
We had an amazing experience with Levin from Bottled Groove Photography for our wedding! ✨ He truly overdelivered and let us run the day as we wanted while capturing the shots — the photos turned out beautifully! We're not natural posers and can be a bit awkward in front of the camera, but Levin made it so much easier by asking us thoughtful questions while photographing. It would tickle us as we answer them (sometimes blabbering out the responses, haha 😅) which helped capture the raw emotions on our faces! One particularly memorable moment was also during the veiling when Levin asked my parents to say a few words. It sent my mom into tears, but those were the kind of heartfelt tears that were beautifully captured in the photos.
What impressed me most were the minor details he captured. Some angles we’d never thought of were done so beautifully, and as a bonus, he managed to photograph the little decorations I had spent so much time on, like our DIY mirror and home decorations—even without us asking for it! And while our ballroom had yellowish, dim lighting, but Levin’s filters and edits made the photos turn out so well!
Best part? The sneak peeks were delivered before we even left our hotel stay! And we’re so excited for the final photo gallery already 🤩
On a personal level, Levin is such a humble and sincere guy— we couldn’t recommend him enough! Thank you for capturing our beautiful day, and we can firmly say engaging Levin from Bottledgroove was the best decision we made for our wedding. 💖
Having a good photographer was one of our greatest priorities for our wedding so we kept meeting different photographers to have a better understanding of their style. When we first encountered Eugene, it became clear that he was the perfect fit. He embraces the concept of capturing photos as a narrative, with minimal interference, allowing us to just be ourselves.
It was great that during the shoot, Eugene was able to skilfully direct us on what we should do as we're not natural posers. At times, he also tries to inject some fun by asking quirky questions to capture our spontaneous moments. We were so amazed when Eugene magically delivered sneak peeks to us on our wedding night and even sent us the finalised photos just a few weeks after the wedding while we were still on our honeymoon. We can't get over how beautiful the photos are (even the music selection for the online photo gallery was just great hahaha)!! We truly appreciate his hard work and dedication. Also, not forgetting Erin who has been helping with the coordination and delivery of the final package. Thank you both so much! ◡̈
We had the pleasure of working with dexter as our AD photographer and 100% no regrets. Whether it was spontaneous candid photos or more 'editorial' photos, dexter nailed it all. He made it easy for a camera-awkward couple to be in front of the camera and has a knack for capturing even the smallest moments which mean so much to us! Throughout the day, he was reassuring and also made things light hearted and fun despite the jam-packed schedule that we had, he was very dedicated to the point where he refused any drinks as he was worried about having to use the toilet! Thank you very much dexter, we appreciate all the dedication and fun you've added to our wedding :)
We decided to engage Bottled Groove to shoot for our wedding reception because we were drawn to how they manage to capture candid moments and mood! We also liked the slight moody/raw look of the pictures that went really well with our theme and the lush greenery of our venue. And it was a bonus that their rates were very competitive. We were sold in no time.
Eugene was extremely professional and responsive. He arrived early, came well-prepared, and even brought along some little props to shoot with that added some flares/light reflection effect to the photos. We are typically camera-shy, but amazingly it never felt awkward with him around! We hit it off like old friends the moment we met. It helped that he even made jokes during the shoot that made us laugh till our bellies hurt!
So if you're looking for a photographer you can count on, look no further! 100% recommended! :D
We spent a long time looking through different photographers' portfolios and being extremely indecisive. We almost signed with one of them, but once we saw Eugene's portfolio, we knew we had to book him (almost 1 year in advance). We scheduled a meet-up before anything was signed and we decided immediately after to promise him our $$$$. I have to admit, I then spent the next year FOMO-ing over many many other photographers' profiles on IG.
Fast forward to our actual day - Eugene has a way of being a very comfortable presence, of being easy to talk to but unobtrusive, of knowing when to take charge and when to just slink into the background and do his thing. He sent us sneak peaks 1 hour after the morning session - and immediately my FOMO dissipated. His shots are beautifully framed, a good mix of formal and in the moment shots, and I love the slight moodiness and darkness of his shots (no white and bright shots for me). One of my friends upon seeing my album, commented that they were so much better than her other friends', some of whom engaged other PGs who are more well-known and more expensive.
Overall, 100% recommend. I have not worked with the other Bottled Groove photographers, but all of their portfolios are amazing and you cannot go wrong with any of them.
From Jon: Eugene and his team were just awesome throughout the entire duration leading up to the actual wedding day. Pre wed shot went great! Felt their creative juices flowing through us as we were taking the photos.
Our actual day photos were so well curated that they were basically showing us a video clip! A veteran as he is, all of us including the bridal party were impressed by his creative vision and were all very comfortable with him even though it was our first time meeting.
10/10 would recommend my friends and family to Eugene and his team at Bottled Groove!
From Mu En: Eugene is my one and only choice for photographer as I’m a very picky person and also a wedding vendor myself, after working with him several times on weddings. Each wedding was unique and had their own story and I could really see how the story of the day goes from each picture. Eugene’s photos are simply magical, captured moments we never knew we exist and also I didn’t know he’s so good at posing couples because we are not models! I looked like an editorial supermodel under his posing guidance that made me look cool and effortless. He captured our editorial theme PWS perfectly in the city area and studio with cool and chic look, also our AD was a perfect contrast with spontaneous, fun, lively moments with lots of laughter!
I knew I could trust him to not only make me look cool, chic, but also capturing spontaneous moments as well! Every single photo he delivered had a meaning to it and not a single photo was unnecessary. 100% quality work and so much more, the Bottled Groove team is amazing!
P.s Everyone said my photographer is so good and even asked for his contact, book him NOW hahahahaa.
We first met Eugene and Dexter at a wedding show and we were immediately attracted to their concept and style of photography. We were convinced since then that we would like to go with Bottled Groove and this turned out to be one of the best decisions we ever made for our wedding!
Both Eugene and Dexter were a perfect pair documenting our pre wedding shoot on film and digital respectively. When Eugene suggested Orchard as a street walk location, we immediately agreed to it as it was where we had our first date and would be memorable for us. On the day of the shoot, Eugene and Dexter made us feel so comfortable in our own skin and gave us posing tips that brought out our personalities and the concepts we were going for. The shoot was really fun and enjoyable and we were super happy with the entire experience! The entire 4 hours flew by so quickly! Most importantly, the photos were stunning and really depicted us so well. Before the shoot, Eugene and Dexter repeatedly told us to just relax and not be nervous. We trusted the process and they delivered, exceeding our expectations. We received so many compliments from family and friends about the photos, and many even mentioned that our photos were some of the best pre wedding shoots photos they have ever seen!
7 months later, we had Eugene shoot us for our actual day wedding event. He arrived 20 minutes earlier than scheduled and immediately started taking photos. Once again, he delivered beautiful photos, documenting the entire event and snapshots of key moments we would hold close to our hearts for years to come. He had captured our raw emotions and moments together as a couple, alongside our interactions with family and friends. Eugene has a very keen eye for composing photos, making them so interesting to look at. We could not have asked for a better photographer to cover our event!
For both our pre wedding shoot and actual day event, the photos were also given to us within 2-3 weeks! We even had same day sneaks within a few hours. We were super impressed about the turn around time.
Last by not least, a shoutout to Erin, who was always so responsive to all our messages, ensuring all our questions were answered and that the administrative work was done quickly and accurately. We really felt so reassured that everything would turn out well.
Thank you so much Bottled Groove! We truly enjoyed getting to know you and working with you for our wedding. :)
We are so glad we chose Eugene for our pre-wed shoot (with Levin) and actual day!
Shooting with Eugene makes you feel like he's not there but all the moments are captured beautifully and naturally. With an eye for details, the photographs he produces makes you remember all the small moments when you look back at all the pictures. He's fun, candid and professional at the same time.
Despite us getting infected by Covid and affecting our original plans, all Eugene did was to show concern and not add extra stress. We've had a wonderful and amazing experience with Eugene, and we're sure that you will too.
We also want to convey our thanks to Erin (Eugene's wife) for settling all the administrative work, making sure all the processes are smooth :)
Thanks again Bottled Groove Photography!
Looking for reliable and professional services? Checked.
Looking for natural but filled with warmth shots? Checked.
Zero awkwardness, engaging and funny photographer? Checked.
Graduated in August 2021 but only managed to leave a review now. We engaged Bottled Groove back in January 2021 and it was nothing but an amazing experience! I really want to thank Eugene and the team for being so thoughtful and making our Covid-Wedding still enjoyable and stress free.
3 weeks before the actual day, Eugene shared that he will be on reservist during our wedding week. He however assured that he has asked for permission to book out so that whatever we have prepared for can proceed as planned (that is one very committed dude here). I already knew that we are in safe hands from that very moment, LOL.
On the actual day, we needed the shoots to be extended. We did not have to worry about taking up more of his time (unplanned) and he even ensured that all moments that night will be captured. Looking back at the amazing photos, it feels like we are reliving our wedding day again.
Really appreciate what Eugene has done for us (he even sent me photos of his Gundam models), Im happy to have found a photographer turned friend with such talent. Cheers!
We were lucky to be able to book Eugene for our evening, and he was brilliant and so easy to work with.
We chose him for his ability to capture the magic and all the angles of Min Jiang Dempsey, but more importantly how he seems to capture the essence of the couple and the guests attending.
The pictures we received back far surpassed our already high expectations having seen his work. Even with the unfortunate accident of Eugene being one lens down on the evening, he never broke his cool and composure and still managed to truly capture how fun and special the evening was and all the wonderful moments that evening. What surprised us was how unforced and incredibly beautiful the photos were.
It was one night, but we will treasure these photos forever. Thank you!
It’s no secret that Eugene has an eye for unique shots. All we had to do was give him the locations we had in mind for PWS and even our AD ideas, and he executed them in the most beautiful way ever. I don’t think ‘impossible’ is in Eugene’s dictionary.
That being said, Eugene, Erin, Levin and Dexter were a pleasure to work with. All of them are super easy going so no worries about feeling awkward with your photographer!
We loved that they are also inclusive, i.e not only photographing the B&G but also our families, friends and houses which play a big part in our lives. If you’re looking for non-standard, unique artistic shots, you won’t regret going with Bottledgroove!
It was difficult but I chose a few of my favourites to share! Thank you Eugene and team!! 100% no regrets, thanks for capturing our most important memory together so beautifully!
Awesome experience with Dexter from Bottle Groove Photography as our AD wedding photographer. He beautifully captured every moment, disptlaying a keen eye for detail. We are especially thankful for his understanding, patience and assistance in times of need. He was a joy to work with and highly recommended for anyone seeking a skilled and exceptional wedding photographer.
We engaged bottledgroove as our PWS and actual day wedding photographers. Eugene did our PWS while Levin did our AD.
Both levin and Eugene were expert in their craft. They were able to capture the chemistry between us in a very accurate fashion.
As Eugene did street photography previously in Thailand, the pictures contained a very unique blend of Street and wedding photography vibes. Totally love how our prewedding photos turned out!
For the actual day, levin was absolutely fantastic. He is such patient and accomodating photographer, sensitive to what we are comfortable and not comfortable to do. Levin was able to capture both the big and small moments perfectly. Almost all the photos had correct focus and moods and if I were to put all the photos together, they almost could repaint and retell a live scene of whatever transpired on that day!
Bottledgroove photography is also very prompt in their response and they are very clear about what they can and cannot do, which makes wedding planning so much easier with them around.
In the nutshell, highly recommended!
11 months ago while browsing through multiple instagram profiles and websites looking for our wedding photographer, we came across Bottled Groove Photography and thank god we did.
Meeting Eugene for the first time via zoom was a fun filled session and he made sure we got the help we needed when it comes to planning a wedding. Talk about an experienced photographer.
Fast forward to the actual wedding day, never once was there an awkward moment as he made sure everyone was comfortable and it’s a joy having him around to capture the important moments.
Being the awkward couple in front of a camera, Eugene made sure the shooting process was fun filled and natural. Looking back at the photo album, it allowed us to rediscover moments that we definetely missed out on during the wedding day. It takes more than just skills to do that, but also attention to detail.
If couples out there are looking for a photographer for your big day, Bottled Groove is probably the place for you.
Me: ChatGPT can you help me write a bad review for BottledGroove?
ChatGPT: Error 404, cannot be written 🤖🛑
That's right, nothing but good reviews for Eugene and Dexter, who we engaged for our film PWS and AD.
Good vibes ✅
Nice photos ✅
Upon enquiring, they arranged a zoom session with us for a vibe check, and both my wife and I felt comfortable immediately.
On the day of our PWS, both of them didn’t make us do much cheesy stuff, and added an element of fun in the shoot by asking us funny questions about ourselves. Evidently, from the MJ in the field picture, they are really open to any weird suggestions that we have! 😬
For AD, Dexter was really reassuring in making the day about us, even when we forgot about that 😅. He also made sure that our guests were camera ready always, which I felt was important especially for the older folks. (Sorry to make you run during our one song challenge, we just hope you had fun as much as we did! 😉)
So if you are looking out for any PG for your PWS or AD, mai tu liao!
TYVM both!!
When I found out about the Bottled Groove Photography in instagram, I immediately checked their website. And surprisingly, their works (portfolio) our quite impressive. Their photos are candid, playful and they really focus on capturing the moment.
For a couple like us who were not used to being photograph by Professionals we decided to hire Bottled Groove Photographer - Levin as his previous works caught our attention the most.
He is indeed very good at his job, and you can see that he loves what he is doing. He is very accommodating and friendly from giving tips and advice before the shoot, he even planned the route so we can maximize the time and the best part was, he did not disappoint us, in fact he even exceeded our expectations. The photos came out so beautiful (gave us a hard time to choose which one to upload first and use as profile photos ). We are very much satisfied and happy. Again, thank you so much Levin!
We engaged Bottle Groove for our pre-wedding and actual day shoot, and we were very happy that we found them as they ticked all the right boxes for what we were looking for.
Eugene was very responsive and got back to us quickly upon receiving our enquiries. As we were looking at a popular date in a short time span, we were happy and relieved that they could accommodate us. The hub was coming from overseas and amid the pandemic situation, there were many uncertainties but the team at Bottle Groove was very flexible and tried their best to fulfil all our requests. We managed to get our pre-wedding photos earlier and the prints were beautiful!
Our photographer, Levin, is like a gentle giant who’s amiable and fun to communicate with. He’s reliable (always early!), experienced and very accommodating. He put both of us ‘awkward beings’ at ease, and captured the most candid moments. If you prefer journalistic style photos and are particular about lights and shadows - Bottle Groove is definitely the one.
Thank you Levin for helping us capture these beautiful memories. We will definitely look for you and Eugene again for our family portraits in future.
Graduated couple here :)
We engaged Eugene for our AD and we had an idea of what we wanted. Eugene reached out to us and throughout the zoom call he was extremely warm and really took the effort to understand each of us, our quirks and our vibe, so that he could show it off in the photos he took, which he delivered that and so much more :’) The photos that were delivered was exactly what we wanted with that extra flavour of “us” inside.
The days leading up to the wedding was tumultuous due to Covid but Eugene constantly reached out to us to offer comfort and encouragement. He was prompt in all his responses and as times were uncertain and we had to make some changes every once in awhile. Eugene was accommodating and understanding and we did not feel shortchanged.
On the AD itself, we met him in person for the first time and he was warm, personable and extremely funny HAHA. Other than the mandatory posey shots that all wedding couples have, he was here and EVERYWHERE. He was like a ninja who appeared wherever he was needed. We had zero worries about how the photos would turned out, he had our trust that he built throughout the whole planning process.
The photos delivered were within the timeframe he promised us and it was nothing short of what we had expected, in fact we spent the whole day looking through the album and smiling, it was as if we were reliving our wedding all over again. The photos we loved were actually not the ones we had planned but those that Eugene handcrafted himself.
Thank you Eugene! You are a gift that keeps on giving. Let’s stay in touch.
3 months late review but I’ve got to do it because Bottled Groove is that good! Million thanks to Eugene for capturing us on our big day. I still remember when hubs and I were looking at who to hire for our AD photography, Bottled Groove really captured our attention with their style. As a couple that just cannot pose to save our lives, we fell in love in how they focus capturing the moments and candids.
Eugene was also a really friendly person and we felt really comfortable shooting with him. Even with the more pose-y shots, he made it really easy for us to get into the mood (hubs can testify because he hates taking photos)
Looking at the photos, they really were everything we wanted to be captured on that day. The actual day went by in a blur (as expected), but we’re really thankful to be able to look back at the photos and relive the moments, even those that we’ve missed.
All in all, highly highly recommend Bottles Groove and again a very huge thank you to Eugene for immortalising our wedding day. Hubs and I definitely will look for you again when we enter the next chapter of our lives ☺️
Right from the get-go, I knew I wanted Eugene as my wedding day photographer. Not just because I've already seen his fantastic works, (at multiple weddings), and not just because he makes you (and your family) feel so at ease during the whole photography process. But because he has the amazing quality to really capture the ~essence~ of who you are as a couple. Eugene truly captured who we are, in a series of photos that I absolutely love. He didn't just make us look good (which honestly is such a great feat in itself), he made us (and our bridal party/family) feel great throughout the whole process. I cannot emphasize enough how many compliments I got from my family/friends about Eugene's works.
He's also FAST - like so fast that he gave us sneaks literally the day after our wedding and the actual wedding pix before we even hit our 1-month anniversary lol.
Best decision we made this whole wedding, was getting Eugene as our vendor. 11/10 would hire him (at whatever rates he quotes) in a heartbeat!
(Now husband's words: Eugene also has a great eye for detail, he really captured so many of the little moments in the wedding!)
Fun yet professional - Eugene is the best photographer you can ever find. We engaged him for both PWS and AD, and his works have never failed us :) Strongly recommend to engage him as your photographer if you're gonna have your wedding (or even family!) shots taken!
Engaged bottled groove Levin to capture our precious moments! Levin make us feel comfortable and the photos turned out nice! Thank you to the team, Eugene for also helping us to make arrange one day before our wedding! Absolutely recommend them if you’re looking for photography services!
someone had shown us eugene's work when we were looking to engage a wedding photographer, and when we browsed on and read about who he was and what he was saying about each of the couples he was photographing, we were sold.
i knew that we were already going to love the photos that eugene took for us, and truthfully, we also expected the photos to be good la hahahaha (i mean that's the least we expect right LOL). what indeed came as a pleasant and much needed surprise was his steady, genuine presence throughout the whole journey even before our wedding day. delivering good photos is one thing... but both my partner and i felt that eugene brought him with so many other qualities that really makes him stand out from the rest. we had changes and had big asks of him which he graciously and promptly acceded to even though he didn't have to, and of course, as everyone says, somehow was able to be both casual yet professional on our wedding day. we loved our photos, and hand on heart, the most genuine and personable wedding photographer (dare i say, vendor) in this very saturated industry!
if you want someone who is touch and go, inauthentic, no eye for details, no dedication to their craft, delivers subpar photos, DONT BOOK HIM AH!
Levin's a great photographer, he made my husband and our families feel very comfortable throughout the whole duration and also gave very good guidance on how to pose. He made us feel like we were talking to a friend and that he was sharing the moment with us. We're also very satisfied with the photos! Great shots taken!!!!
We engaged Eugene for our big day and honestly he delivered the service beyond expectations! He makes additional efforts to learn the names of our groomsmen and bridesmaid and go beyond the role of a photographer. Our wedding was way more enjoyable with him as a photographer! He was able to add joy to our wedding and the photos he provides really allow us to smile back and enjoy those small moments that we easily overlook during our wedding.
For those thinking of getting him as a photographer would highly recommend! Appreciate the help And thankful for the enjoyable day!
Thank you Eugene for embarking on this unique actual day wedding shoot without the bride and groom present (we had covid), and again on our solemnization at a short notice. He captured the authentic and spontaneous moments which we love and helped us experience the joy and tears of both our celebrations through his lens.
Engaging Eugene was probably one of the best life choices we’ve made! Referred by a friend, we instantly fell in love with his portfolio without the need to search high and low for a photographer. Reviews alone can't do justice to his work, you’ll have to experience it to know it! It's not only about the end product, but rather the entire journey that we shared together - simply amazing!
We are happy returning customers! Eugene was our pre-wedding and wedding photographer a few years ago and it was an easy choice to engage him for a home shoot with our newborn baby. He puts everyone at ease, even a crying newborn. He has a way of documenting daily activities like diaper changes so beautifully. We really cannot recommend Bottledgroove enough to capture precious moments.
I am indeed honoured to have Eugene as my wedding photographer. His photos are real, he captures the raw emotions and every moments very naturally. He was very patient, calm and he made us enjoy the whole photo-taking process. He encouraged us to be ourselves and just be natural and we really really had lotsa fun! I would say his style is fun, candid and creative.
Eugene is indeed a professional and it will be super fun to have him as your photographer. Trust me, he will make the whole photo-taking process enjoyable and before you know it, time's up!
No doubts, I did not regret engaging Bottled Groove.! In Eugene, I trust!
Photos are one of the few things you keep after the wedding, so photography was always one of the most important components of the wedding for me when going into wedding planning.
I chanced upon Eugene's photos on Instagram and immediately knew he was one of, if not the, top choice for us. His documentary style stood out amongst the sea of "posed" and "lovey dovey" shots on other feeds, and I loved how he captured the seemingly mundane scenes that would become precious moments one would grapple to recollect after the wedding. He also had many photos that were framed in interesting ways, which was something else we were looking for.
On the day of, Eugene was punctual, friendly and put us at ease. I had another photographer as well and he accommodated and worked with him despite never having met him prior. Eugene also provides directions which is extremely helpful since most of us have probably never spent this much time in front of the camera before - and his attention to detail is apparent in the way he carefully positions you (and your bridal party) to achieve an aesthetically pleasing photo.
Turnaround time for our photos was insanely fast (one week?), and the photos came packaged in the form of a cute memento a few weeks later. If I had one regret it would be that we spent too much time on table photos at night and this couldn't free Eugene up to work his magic elsewhere. Thanks Eugene and Erin for helping us make our wedding special and capturing beautiful photos we can always look back on fondly :)
Danny and I had Eugene as our photographer for both PWS and AD. We first heard of Bottled Groove from a friend's recommendation and made the decision to have Eugene after browsing through A LOT of strangers' wedding photos to find the right photographer for us, to a point that I feel as if I've been to way too many weddings. Eugene quickly put us at ease when we first met him for our PWS. We love the photo set we got and was happy with the variety of photos that we managed to take in such as short time.
Leading up to AD, Eugene and Erin went through our day's schedule in advance, clarifiedany questions, and offered help if we needed any advise which was greatly appreciated. After seeing the PWS photos, I actually trusted him so much that during AD, I didn't really know where he was most of the time except during group photos cos I was busy enjoying myself. Anyways the photos turned out great and it captured all the emotions we went through the entire day. 100% would recommend if his style fits the vibe you're going for
I engaged Eugene from BGP to be my photographer on my wedding day (church ceremony, tea ceremony, dinner banquet). I was truly amazed at Eugene’s eye for a good angle and timing. At the same time, Eugene was very present as a friendly face to talk to on the day, without being intrusive to the family’s actions at all. When I looked through the photos delivered, I often marveled at how he managed to capture many of the shots, given the huge huge array of types of shots he gave us while maintaining a calm presence on the day. Eugene, AD photog is a service that was really important and close to my heart that we got right from day 1, and I’m very thankful we got the chance to work with you on our special day. Kudos on the great work!
Eugene has been great from the start, we postponed the session at least 3 times due to different family members falling sick from COVID and he's been kind and patient throughout despite his busy schedule.
He is also highly professional and holds himself 100% responsible in carrying out the services promised to his clients - I proposed to have our session 14 days after the onset of symptoms (no longer infectious) but his immediate response is he can't do that because he cannot risk having his wedding couples without a photographer on their big day. In this highly commercialised times, I think it is really not easy to meet a popular and busy photographer who still put his clients first before his business.
My family and I totally enjoyed the session, Eugene blends into the background and we hardly noticed him throughout. It was a genuine capture of what usually happens at home with our newborn twins and that makes the photographs so much more precious.
The photographs turned out really well too, every one of them tells a story and we're really touched to see our lives captured on prints. We'll engage Eugene again the next time we have an occasion and we highly recommend that u do too!
Eugene, thank u again for your great help!
Through a long list of wedding photographers, Eugene’s portfolio and style caught my then fiancée’s attention. The photos that Eugene took carries his vision of always capturing the “fun” at any moment and that is exactly what he told us before we even had our 1st meet-up. Our wedding date was right smack in the peak of the COVID period and we had to postpone and do last minute arrangements due to the everchanging restrictions set by the government. Despite all that, Eugene was kind and flexible enough to accommodate to most of our requests.
We had a trial shoot with Eugene couple of months back before the actual day and there was zero sense of awkwardness and it felt Eugene was a long-lost friend where he is able to instantly click onto our conversations and pose some questions of his own to create laughter in the atmosphere. That is when he really excels, capturing away all the special moments which turned out fantastic.
On the actual day, Eugene knew exactly what he was looking for (which is something I appreciate a lot), giving his ideas and flair to the style of shots taken. Even the “Brothers and Sisters” found Eugene very easy-going which makes photo-taking a whole lot easier and more natural. Eugene took shots that told a story of us on that very day. Looking at the photos now makes us re-live that actual day moment which is pretty commendable. We would definitely recommend Eugene as it worked for us and we are pretty sure choosing him will work for you as well.
My wife and I had Levin help us out with our pre-wedding shoot and with our reception - he was exceptional! He was really patient with us and was really good at making us feel comfortable (especially when I was quite awkward in front of a camera). He was also extremely good at finding creative angles and shots, we were wowed by the final product. Would highly recommend!
I’m aware of the mantra that those in the media line constantly repeat “never work with children or animals”, yet here comes BottledGroove who gamely took on our challenge to not just shoot our family portrait with our dog, our toddler but also both our parents. Imagine 2 sets of >60 y/o who don’t typically like their pictures being taken, being comfortable with a pointed camera lens; Eugene puts their anxiety to rest and reminds them he’s not here to have staged photographs but just wants them to enjoy the process. He made the parents feel at ease, had a way with the dog, captured the kid’s smile… and needless the say, we the couple couldn’t be more thankful for a photographer who has simply has the eye. Eugene and his team (thank you Erin too!) doesn’t take photographs, BottledGroove captures the essence of the moment: when you look back at the pictures, it reminds us of words like ‘timeless, classic and precious’ while his approach is ‘effortless and masterful’.
The family portrait now hangs proudly in 3 different households and the unifying thread is because we had our picture taken by artist who owns his craftsmanship.
5/5 for bottled groove! levin was a wonderful photographer, he made the shoot so easy although my fiance and us are both naturally unphotogenic HAHHA and he always kept the conversation flowing and lighthearted, and had constant suggestions for poses!! the photos turned out absolutely beautiful and faster than i expected as well.
thank you levin for being such a patient, understanding, and on the ball photographer (even kayaking to the beach without complaint when we didn't know beforehand 🥲)!!
Dexter was our photographer for our actual wedding day.
With Covid, everything is generally made more difficult but Dexter was patient, warm and easy to work with.
While this is his job, I can sense that he does it with passion.
He even gave helpful info/tips on some on the "do and don't" of wedding process.
He knew when to step in to give directins and when to simple let us 'flow candidly in our actions" :p
With Dexter, and of coz proper/concise communication of needs, I can't see much going wrong :)
Dexter, thanks again for all the wonderful effort :)
I‘m not a reviewer-person. But once I reviewed, it is definitely something that worth to be recorded!
Bottled Groove Photography is really worth recommended! Eugene is responsive and professional, he would guide you and your partner throughout the photo session, especially for the camera-shy couples!
I would like express my sincere feelings without any coercion. I just had my PWS with Eugene in August. My husband and I were quite enjoyed and everything went so smoothly. Eugene will up to the couples to make the choice of destinations for PWS, any comments or suggestions would be accepted as long as it is not too ridiculous. He’ll also provide some accessories for the photoshoot if you do not have one. Eugene is quite easy-going, amiable and humorous. That’s why we really enjoyed his services and nothing more could be nitpicked.
If you look for fun and natural photography, Bottled Groove Photography is definitely the first choice! It’s really 100% recommended!! If you look for hilarious and responsible photographer, Eugene is definitely Worth recommending! Nothing more to say until you’ve tried their services.
If you're looking for professional and reasonably priced wedding photography, consider Bottled Groove Photography. Eugene's service is truly excellent. He's humorous, engaging, and attentive. Finding a team in Singapore that's both affordable and skilled is incredibly difficult. Finding a photographer you can connect with and communicate with is even more challenging. Treating each other with respect should be key. He's truly professional and respectful of the couple's decisions. Best of all, Eugene will share a few selected photos within two hours of the photoshoot for you to share with your family abroad. Such a dedicated photographer is truly commendable! I'm so grateful to Eugene for capturing such beautiful photos of us, even though we didn't eat well. It's a blessing for women in the budget sector! 100% personally recommended!
