Hello and welcome, my name is Bernard Teo. I made a decision in 1999 and it changed my life. I was offered a position in one of the top wedding photography studios in Singapore as an assistant photographer. Without batting an eyelid, I said yes and missed the appointment to sign a contract to join the Police Force on the same day.
My mum told me that I took my first photo when I was just 5 years old on a holiday with my parents. Not having a couple shot, my dad decided to try his luck and allowed me to take a photo for them. Without much expectation, when my parents received the developed photos from the lab, they were surprised to see that the image was well taken with all their body parts within the frame and had some scenery as a bonus.
Through my years in school, I was actively involved in the publicity club as a photographer. I took the opportunity during my 2 years in national service to be part of the media team and helped photograph divisional military events. Having already been working part time as a wedding photographer before national service, it only natural for me to pursue the course of making this my career.
Then, one of the leaders in the wedding photography industry mentored me and much of my achievements today are due to his persistent scolding and nagging during my years as an apprentice. So I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to him, if not for his vision and discipline, I may not be the person I am today.
I have a strong passion for wedding photography and I’m determined to help you relive your story with the captured moments of your wedding day. The highlights of your wedding should be you having fun, the intricate details that you planned for and the emotions poured forth from peoples’ hearts, as these create the atmosphere of the wedding. This is of course on top of the usual important events of the day and those formal group photos.

My life is surrounded around my wife and daughter, trying my utmost to be a supporting husband and a fun but strict dad. I love our family outings and spending quality time with my ladies. As much as possible, I reserve my Sundays for church. I would like to thank Jesus for blessing me with such a great career and an awesome family. During my free time, I cook a lot more during my days in the UK, dishes I miss from home can only be found in my kitchen. I try to recreate meals that I crave for and it’s been a brilliant journey.
I’ve lived in London for about 2 years to pursue my Masters in Photojournalism and Documentary Photography. During that time, I have learnt to be a better picture storyteller. I have made valuable friendships to last a lifetime. I had the opportunity to engage with renowned photojournalist to learn from the best in the industry. The time spent with my family was the most precious as I was able to spend quality time with my wife and daughter who was then only 4 months old when we moved to the UK. Its an experience that I will never forget.
I shuttle to and fro from the UK pretty frequent and if you are planning for your wedding moments to be captured in the UK or here in Singapore, get in touch with me and I will be most happy to be part of your wedding celebrations. Capturing your life’s best moments!
