Mochi the golden retriever must know that dogs are considered man’s best friend. After all, he has two people who consider him theirs.

So inseparable are they from each other that when Winnie Chong, 31, and Ivan Loo, 30, sat down to plan their pre-wedding photoshoot, they knew that Mochi had to be part of it.

“Mochi has been the centre of our lives for five years and counting, so it is a no-brainer that we included him in our pre-wedding photos.

"It was the perfect arrangement for us as we didn’t fancy the usual pre-wedding photography styles with over-the-top attires and poses.

"We wanted a casual session that best portrayed what our life together is like with Mochi, ” says Chong.
