AstroBanana Got Shot!

A dark cloud loomed over AstroBanana this morning, threatening to derail their bridal photoshoot plans. To complicate matters, Eric Banana encountered problems putting the contact lenses onto his eyes - maybe they were too dry. After all, it was only Day 2 and he has not adjusted fully yet. When he finally succeeded, he was close to being late. By then, the light drizzle has stopped, allowing AstroBanana to at least get to the bridal studio dry. Eric Banana took a cab and reached there first, followed by Astro Girl. They met up with Dily who proceeded to give Astro Girl an extreme makeover.

Dily is very skillful and experienced, and gave the couple many useful tips. They felt very at ease with her and liked the make-up and hairstyling she did for them. When she was done, AstroBanana changed into their respective outfits and waited for the bridal photographer, Weijie, to arrive at the scene.

They started with the studio photoshoot. Weijie gave the couple many pointers on how they should pose. These pointers sounded simple - turn the face, tilt the chin, twist the neck, smile, smile more, don't smile, and so on - but AstroBanana struggled a fair bit in comprehending his instructions. Some of the poses were challenging too! AstroBanana are so glad that they practise yoga regularly. As for Weijie's photography skills, AstroBanana will comment after they see the final product =P

The weather turned out to be really horrible. It rained throughout the day. 讨厌的长命雨! With the lousy weather being such a spoilsport, AstroBanana's outdoor photoshoot options became extremely limited. Eventually, they decided to postpone the outdoor photoshoot to another day instead. If nothing goes wrong, it will take place on 30 June 2009 - with Alexandra Road and Changi Boardwalk as the tentative shoot locations.

And now, presenting some exclusive behind-the-scenes pictures!

After the photoshoot, AstroBanana were really tired. Yes, despite not going for the outdoor photoshoot. Dinner was a brief affair - all they wanted to do was to go home and zzz....
