4 Days In Phuket
by Nigel Sia
A month ago, I flew out of Malaysia and into Phuket to shoot the
wedding of Trish and Zhen under Wedding Story.
It was extremely enjoyable working with Wedding Story and also
with Jenny Sun and not forgetting how fun it was shooting Trish and Zhen.
The couple’s lovely smiles and good sense of humour constantly brought
laughter and jokes all around, making this shoot that was 4 days flew by breezily.
Top that with a meaningful wedding celebration with close family
and friends in a picturesque setting, it was an eye-opening experience altogether.
The place was so beautiful, I could hardly believe such a hidden gem was located in Phuket,
so nearby Malaysia. I vowed to myself to return here for a personal holiday with my loved ones.
On a fun note to share, Trish and Zhen shares a passionate love for boxing.
Trust me, upon meeting this happy couple, one would not think that they are into such a
physical sport but once you witness the chemistry between the two, it all falls into place.
Here are a couple of photos I took randomly throughout the days:
One of the many private bungalows at Sri Panwa complete with your own pool and overlooking the South China Sea.
A little welcome gift from the couple. Thanks for having me guys! Love the ‘Mini Guide To Phuket’!
At the rehearsal.
This was at a bigger family bungalow at Sri Panwa. Seen here is the portrait session happening while I was shooting a timelapse.
At an open area at the spa section of Sri Panwa. Another portrait session in the making.
Slightly different composition of the timelapse view I had. See actual timelapse in the video at the end of this post.
We used walkie-talkies to communicate as the place is huge.
Top King gloves. Made for some serious boxing.
One and only – Trish’s wedding dress.
Workers preparing the ceremony location.
One of those break moments. Phuket was really hot and humid that time.
Just right after the ceremony, everyone gathered for a group photo.

And also, a personal video that was done by yours truly on the 4 day experience I had in Phuket!
Had the opportunity to see the magic happen with Jenny Sun!
Thank you Kee Sitt for having me for this assignment.
I really enjoyed myself and learned a lot since our last shoot/meet.
