A LITTLE
ABOUT US
Hello! I’m Wei Zhen.
Passionate light chaser, dreamer & adventurer at heart.
I’m also a dedicated porter to two little girls.
Synchronal started a decade ago as a husband and wife duo on the ever sunny (and rainy) shores of Singapore. Born out of our love for travel and adventure, we’ve documented more than 300 weddings and adventures across 20 destinations.
We love savouring our morning coffees in our humble abode, nestled in an oasis of calm, and at times, chaos (points to the small humans in the house :P).
Our little ones continuously inspire us to see the world with a renewed sense of wonder and to keep exploring. Through them, we’ve learned to love unconditionally and to find joy and beauty in the ordinary and everyday.
While I am all about the action, being on the ground capturing stories, Yu Li prefers to support quietly from behind the scenes.
Immensely drawn to the intimate connections and dynamic interactions between people and their surroundings, I seek to document the raw and honest stories of kindred souls, be it a road trip adventure in the far flung mountains, or a beautiful wedding celebration back home!
We’re not the best with words, but we hope that our images speak to you, and makes you to embark on an adventure with the one you love.
Our Inspiration – Mountains, coffee and the feeling of home.
There’s something about brewing coffee that speaks to our hearts. It’s not just the act of creating something wholesome but also the freedom to create.
Much like photography, brewing coffee involves countless variables, from grind size to brewing time. When done right, it results in a cup full of flavour that can brighten your day.
Each cup may differ, but it always brings a comforting sense of familiarity.

‘What’s your favourite place?’
‘I don’t have a favourite place, I have my favorite people.
And, whenever I’m with my favourite people,
it becomes my favourite place.’

Nothing beats being out there
It all started with our yearning to travel to remote places among mountains and valleys, that took us on an overland backpacking adventure from the northern tip of Vietnam to Nepal back in 2009.
Nothing beats being out there – to stand at the edge of cliffs, to hear the gentle lapping of the ocean waves, to feel small among the mountains and valleys, and to camp under a million stars. To adventure together is to have the joy of sharing something incredible amplified, and in trying times, rough it out together. To us, home is truly wherever we are together.
