POV: A full cheerlifting shoulder walk-in at a wedding!!!! (See the last image!)
This is how Eugene & Sitong’s wedding day felt — one of the most unique and unforgettable celebrations I’ve ever captured 🥹✨
I’ve known Eugene since our uni days, so standing there and photographing his wedding now felt extra special. It’s always amazing to witness how life comes full circle, but this one really hit different.
From the moment the day started, their wedding was full of energy, personality, and the kind of joy that kept everyone smiling the whole day. Eugene and Sitong are cheerleaders, and they brought that part of themselves so fully into the celebration — with multiple stunts, a backflip in their SDE video, and most amazing of all, a full cheerleading shoulder-lift walk-in throughout the ENTIRE entrance!!!! With proper safety measures of course, but still… truly a first for me and something I’ve never seen before at a wedding 🤯👏
And as if that wasn’t memorable enough, the whole wedding was Disney-themed in the sweetest way. From Sitong’s Bella-inspired dress walk-in to the Disney castle LEGO they made, which was even AI-ed into the SDE video, every detail felt so personal and magical. It really was a celebration that reflected them so perfectly 🏰💛
Most of all, thank you Eugene & Sitong for letting me be part of such a special day. Knowing Eugene from back then and getting to document this chapter now means a lot to me. What a joy it was to witness and capture a love story so full of fun, heart, and wow moments.

Capturing a wedding as vibrant and lively as Eugene and Sitong's was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. As someone who's attended and photographed numerous weddings, I can say that integrating personal passions like cheerleading into the ceremony brings an unparalleled level of excitement and authenticity. The full cheerleading shoulder-lift walk-in is not only an impressive athletic feat but also a brilliant expression of the couple's shared identity. From my own observations, weddings that incorporate themed elements—such as Eugene and Sitong’s Disney-inspired motifs—often leave lasting memories for everyone involved. The Bella-inspired gown walk-in combined with a LEGO Disney castle centerpiece, enhanced by AI in the highlights video, shows how technology and tradition can beautifully merge to tell a couple's unique story. Safety measures are crucial when incorporating stunts like cheerleading lifts during important moments, and it's inspiring to see this balance maintained. This example encourages couples to thoughtfully include fun and meaningful activities that resonate with their personalities while ensuring the celebration remains safe and enjoyable for all guests. Wedding venues like Park Royal Collection Pickering provide the perfect backdrop for such dynamic and creative celebrations, combining elegance with ample space for movement and performance. Collaborating with talented vendors—from photographers to videographers and stylists—helps bring these ambitious ideas to life seamlessly. For couples considering similar personalized touches, it's worth discussing your vision openly with your photographer and planner early on. This allows plenty of time to prepare, rehearse any performances, and capture the magic authentically without stress. Ultimately, weddings that celebrate what makes each couple unique—whether through cheerleading, themed decorations, or other creative expressions—make for genuinely unforgettable and heartfelt occasions.
