“I had never been to Singapore before our planned proposal, so I really put all my trust in Eugene and 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.
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.”
“We were so blessed to have Eugene as our AD photographer. In fact, I’d go as far to say engaging Bottled Groove was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!
On the wedding day itself, he effortlessly directs shots & poses during appropriate moments, and blends in to the background like a ninja when we were having moments with others/ourselves. And this was what really impressed us - in the process of his ninja-ing, he was somehow able to capture a lot of the little moments that were precious to us, that were HAPPENING CONCURRENTLY. That not only takes serious skill to shoot, but also a lot of HEART to be sensitive to such moments.
Oh yes, he also had a really good balance of formal + candid storytelling shots which we really liked.”
“Having Eugene as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! We’ve known Eugene for awhile because he shot for my sister’s wedding. Thereafter, we recommended him to a few of our different friends looking for photographers, and we were so excited to finally have him for our own!
Eugene feels a lot more like a familiar friend partaking in the day’s activities. He lets the day run by, and he stands supportively aside to capture the moments as they come.
This was what we loved - because rather than orchestrating the moments for pictures, he let the moments play out, and then froze them in time with his pictures. We love that about him!”
“Eugene’s exceptional style and unique perspective was a refreshing departure from the ordinary; it was exactly what we were looking for.
His ability to capture genuine emotions, intimate moments, and the overall atmosphere of our wedding was simply *chef’s kiss*.”
“Eugene was a comfortable presence. 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.
One of my friends upon seeing my album, commented that they were so much better than her other friends’ which engaged other PGs who were more well-known and more expensive.”
“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.”
“We could not have asked for any more from Eugene, who was so personable, passionate and committed to our wedding project from day one!
Everyone keeps telling us how the photos captured the spirit of the day so well, and love all the brilliant candids :’) They have carried us through post-wedding blues for sure.”
“We had Elle as our photographer for our ROM and she was nothing short of amazing! She was very good at guiding us through the different poses, putting us at ease throughout the shoot, and scoped out different areas and places for us to take pictures in beforehand so the whole shoot was very efficient!
We also really appreciated that the day after the wedding, she proactively sent out some sneaks of the shots. It was very thoughtful and we loved how her photography captured all our moments and expressions in a really natural and potent manner.”
“Eugene made us feel really at ease and comfortable when he was photographing us during our PWS. It goes without saying that he has an eye for composing photos beautifully. But what made him stood out from the other photographers was his easy-going personality and dedication to honing his craft.
Levin, our AD photographer, was very friendly, and extra observant when it comes to capturing moments that might have been missed if one is not observant and quick enough. ”
“Awesome experience with Dexter from Bottle Groove Photography as our AD wedding photographer. He beautifully captured every moment, displaying a keen eye for detail. ”
“Levin has a knack for capturing tiny moments that you don’t even realise are happening”
“Dexter was amazing! He did my pre-wed shoot and wedding day shoot and the photos turned out very beautiful and memorable.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Right from the get-go, I knew I wanted Eugene as my wedding day photographer. Not just because I’ve already seen his fantastic work 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.
Best decision we made this whole wedding”
“Even with such high hopes already set for the end product, Eugene somehow still managed to exceed both of our expectations by returning not just an album full of beautifully composed images, but a series that could be considered to be a full visual storybook of our wedding day.”
“What we wanted were not the grand posey shots that made us look like the models but a documentation of events as they happened and people as they were, captured with an eye for the beauty of simple, everyday joys.
That was what Eugene offered over many other options that we explored.”
“I’m a very picky person. Eugene was my one and only choice for photographer considering that I am also a fellow wedding vendor (make-up artist) and after having worked with him several times on weddings.”
“There’s a magic to his photos for they are wonderfully candid and not too overdone or staged.
It also helps that we were really comfortable with him - it was easy to get along with him cos he’s genuine, down to earth and personable. Shoutout to Erin too, who was always responsive!”
“It was single-handedly the best decision we’ve made for our entire wedding journey.
Eugene was... atypical. Not that I’ve had many wedding experiences before but one can tell that he’s beyond dedicated and passionate about his craft. What really sets him apart is the way he conducts the shoots. He constantly tries to think out of the box to conjure unique shots while keeping the process very enjoyable and candid for the couple.”
“Working with Dexter for our wedding photography was one of the key highlights of our wedding.
The result has been fantastic - intimate and candid pictures that capture a range of human emotions as the wedding day unfolded.”
“As we scrolled through Eugene’s work, we immediately fell in love with his photos and secretly wished we had discovered him before our PWS”
“Absolutely thankful to have Eugene during our AD. I teared up several times going through the album just a month after the wedding.”
“It’s been exactly a year since we engaged Eugene from Bottled Groove Photography and even after a year we still feel compelled to write this review (we’ve been procrastinating because...life!) because it was one of the best decisions we made.
It was not easy finding a photographer who prioritises storytelling/documenting over posey shots and so we’re so glad we stumbled upon Eugene and his portfolio! The photos turned out really well and we still gush over them up till this day.”
“As a creatively challenged guy, I never understood my wife’s need to obsessively vet the wedding photographer. “Aren’t all photographers the same”, I thought, as she showed me the Instagram profile of yet another photographer.
To my new wife, I was wrong, and you were completely right to obsessively vet the wedding photographer.”
“Could not rate Levin any higher. He was extremely patient with us and was someone we could rely upon to capture our day!
He has an incredible eye, and shot and delivered our photos with such professionalism. He knew exactly how to get us to relax and we really did have a lot of fun on our pre-wedding shoot and on our day, all thanks to him.
We really love what Bottled Groove does in the art of their storytelling with photography”
“Such a pleasure to have Eugene cover our little happy evening and would do it many times more if we had the chance to.”
“Had my AD wedding shoot done by Dexter. Though he is new to the team, the photos were not disappointing at all! The moments captured at each moment were precious.
These moments would only happen once so you really have to have someone with experience and flair.”
“We could go on and on raving about him because we simply love Eugene (and his work) too much.”
“They (photos delivered) are not just pretty pictures but reveals the emotions and the vibe that we treasure the most.”
“Eugene was absolutely calm and creative. and our guests were amazed by his nature and skills.”
“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.”
“在新加坡能找到价格亲民且拍摄技术又好的团队真的不容易。要找个合拍又沟通得来的摄影师应该更是难上加难。”
“The resulting photos were nothing short of magical. Our only regret was not engaging him for our AD!”
“What really impressed us the most was how artsy his candid pictures were and the emotions/feels there were in those pictures. Nothing too pose-y, nothing too over-the-top and everything that was just the right amount of us in our natural unscripted state.”
“Levin truly captured our celebration’s heartfelt moments. Funny thing is, I don’t even recall hearing or seeing him move around during the event to take the pictures! It’s like he gave us a whole other perspective into the joyous occasion.”
“They (photographs) were well-edited, nicely taken and captured a certain realness between my fiance and me. All in all, Eugene is truly a photographer that is hard to come by.”
“We had one location where another bride and groom were shooting a very serious, sombre, shot in full formal wear next to us. We were so thankful in contrast that Eugene encouraged us to do literal cartwheels and keep being our goofy selves.”
“Eugene was able to capture candid moments of us as he encouraged us to embrace our quirkiness and we really really really had a ton of fun!”
“Life is not always the picture-perfect glamour party it professes to be - and we like it that way. Many things can be beautiful when we roll with the punches, as with many in-between moments - Bottled Groove captures this masterfully.”
“If you’re looking for something organic, authentic, sentimental, and fill-you-in-on-things-you-missed, Eugene is the guy.”
“Glad to have found someone as quirky to match our personalities!”
“We fell in love with Eugene’s true photo-journalistic style in which the emotions of photos flow naturally. Most, if not all of his photos strike a great balance between being aesthetically pleasing and emotionally rich.”
“I like Eugene’s candid, non-pretentious photos that captures every moment.”
“The most consistent comment that came out of our wedding was “Your photographer is really good.”
During our actual wedding, our friends and family commended his amicable personality, which made everyone feel at ease while being photographed. We were very happy when we receive our wedding photos, as it captured precious moments of our big day.”
“Eugene was always following up with us, always asking if we needed help with the itinerary and offering insightful inputs. It made us feel assured that he actually cared rather than just another assignment.”
“It’s not about finding the most expensive photographer, the most popular photographer or the most wanted photographer in town. It’s important to find one that you can click & communicate with.
Believe me, we went through plenty of websites / Instagram profiles / web books & portfolios before we chanced upon this dude! I call it fate!”
“The most important thing for me about a photographer is how comfortable he makes you feel and whether he is able to capture casual moments with their original emotions.”
“Among the best decisions, I made on the wedding is to get Eugene.”
“Eugene became a friend through this wedding preparation. He is humble, friendly and most importantly he is very passionate about photography.”
“You only hold your wedding only once, and you want to pick the best.”
Vincenzo and Vithricia’s traditional Italian march-in
“Eugene delivered exactly the kind of photos that we want, well, EVEN MORE!”
