“Love hugs and kisses?
How about Sticks and Knives?”

Mary had insisted that Adam’s proposal be unique. Adam then surprised her by telling her to stay at the playground after her shopping for an impromptu sparring practice. He then pinned her down and pulled out the ring.
Thus was history made, and Mary said yes. Well done! Thank you for being so sporting about sparring on your wedding day guys! 
Happy Valentine’s Day!
It’s almost our five year anniversary now, and looking back, a lot had changed. Ichiro Films’ dedication towards telling your unique story, however, remains much the same. We still work hard to stay open when being invited to weddings, to ensure that YOUR character, YOUR uniqueness stands out, and Ichiro Films stays behind the lens, behind the editing screen, and given our track record, we must have done something right.
However, in this time, as we have honed our skills, we have also began to develop an identity, a unique Ichiro Films DNA sequence, if you will. Where in the past, we started by mainly making a journal of your wedding, we have become more and more focused on finding that unique identity of your wedding.
And that troubles me, somehow, as an artist.
Would this mean we would become more and more rigid in our thinking, and as a result fall back to templates, and fixed ways of editing and filming?
To prevent that from happening, we have decided to come up with a new package that starts everything from scratch! While we maintain the Ichiro Films product, we have an Ichiro Films “Live” package where you tell us it is ok to go crazy with our creativity!
It is where we can try to come up with something totally new. But we cannot expect you to invest the same as our usual packages for something that is experimental, hence we have come up with a much lower price range for the Ichiro Films “Live” package.
And for the next 5 who signs up for the new package, we would extend another crazy discount of $500 off!
Ichiro Films “Live” is all about the same eye for beautiful moments, same passion for story telling, but for less of a hassle, and less of an investment.
Wedding Cinematography just got simpler
It had never been an easy journey for Ichiro Films.
We are almost 5 years old now, and when we first started out, where other companies had their signature “style”, we’ve decided not to do that. Company A is “fun”, Company B is “romantic”, Company C is …
Ichiro Films is … You.
We kept throwing away our old formulas to try to come up with something different for every couple, every story that we do, with very vague marketing goals, because, truly, how do you market an experience?
It was a gamble from the start, and though we are always still struggling with deadlines, staffing problems, and various other setbacks, we stuck with what we did best, telling your stories.
So when someone out there comes over to us at weddings, to tell us those two beautiful words, “Good Job,” it makes all our efforts worthwhile, and reminds us about the reason we are doing what we do.
And when that person is a magazine, and they’ve told us we did a good job for the fourth year running now, it spurs us on to even greater heights. Thank you Singapore Tatler, for awarding us The Best Of Singapore In Videography for 2013 too!
We have found a new partner and are extremely excited to share about it!
Trinity Gallery just opened it’s doors at Raffles Hotel Arcade and is a multi-label premium boutique which brings in bridal gown collections from designers like Monique Lhuillier, Jenny Packham, Reem Acra, Oscar de la Renta and Marchesa.
We have had a cool chat with one of it’s founders, Jessica, and discussed how best to help her clients. We are happy to extend special packages to all couples who are clients of Trinity Gallery!
How to frame with the appropriate Lance
I am Lance Ong, the newest addition to the Ichiro Films family. I’ve been training with the guys at Ichiro Films for a couple of months now.
Coincidently, my name sounds the same with “lens”, therefore I found it easier to break the ice in this industry. Whenever I introduced myself as “Lance” to the couple or even to the photographer, they would automatically ask me which type of camera “lens” I was or if my name was really “lens” etc…
As a Wedding Cinematographer, job satisfaction comes from participating in one of the most memorable moments in ones’ lives, and taking part in filming it down and producing art. It comes from being able to bring out the best of their happiness and creating something priceless. The satisfaction comes further when you get the instant appreciation and satisfaction shown on the face of the couples when they watch your work.
It is for these reasons that I am proud to be a Wedding Cinematographer and my prime motivation to learn how to produce such videos.
Try Being In My Shoes
Of course having said that, I have a lot to improve both in my filming techniques and editing skills. Everyone had been very patient with my slow learning curve so far, for which I am grateful! Watch this space, and you shall see more and more of my work in the near future!

“I remembered thinking of Nicholas as a tall guy
with a crinkly smile and a laugh
that makes u want to laugh along as well.
…
I want to spend the rest of my life with him
and enrich my life experience with him by my side…”

Since the first day I met with them, Nicholas and Baoying had been a super friendly and fun couple, and forthcoming with their story, how they came to know each other and how they fell in love.
This is the result from their wedding day, hope I did their memories justice! Thank you both for having us as a part of your wedding!

Kenneth likes Zhang Yi Mou, Kenneth wrote a poem for Cherie, Kenneth asked us to do a wedding trailer for them, Kenneth doesn’t like typical trailers.
Enter the madness that is
Have I told you about Kenneth?

it comes from a daily committment to make it work …
At times, we need to remind ourselves that a marriage is not only about the ups, but also about the downs. Lionel and Katie had their fair share of both, culminating in small quarrels due to wedding and house renovation decisions on the lead up to their wedding. I was immensely touched because they treated each quarrel as a test, and have hence gotten closer together as a result.
After this, I am certain, you will find true bliss in your marriage!

“I promise that you never have to go to sleep angry or feel that your love is taken for granted.
I will continue to hold your hands even if my other hand have to clutch on a walking stick.”
Jeremy’s vows are definitely one of the most touching ones I have heard over the years.
Shirley & Jeremy were sooo detailed with their planning that all their guest, which included the Ichiro Films team as well. Will was shooting with me, joined by Kelvin & Kailian from LightedPixels. I am sure I speak for all of us to say that we were very well taken care of during the short stay at Racha.
