Engagement Shoot : Dennis & Demi

August 25th, 2008

I’ll be shooting Dennis & Demi’s Actual Wedding Photography coming September, and I can’t wait. Really, I can’t.

Dennis is hell of a Mr. Nice guy, accommodating me, being the photographer, and Demi herself, wanting me to make more photographs on her. He said and I quote, “As long as she’s happy… “. Demi is witty, and chatty, and I am all excited as she is very open to try different things! You both are just so nice to photograph.

We met up last Friday, for a quick Engagement / Lifestyle photography session around Putrajaya. I am going to bring couples to Putrajaya more for shoot as it is scenic and amazing. I find new location, new ways of shooting everytime I am there.

I probably cold feet myself, when somehow, I did not find my usual self warming up. Must be the anxiousness of wanting to photograph in the rain. It was raining heavily while on the way to Putrajaya, and I was well prepared. 2 huge umbrella, and a rain coat for myself. Only to reach the location, all bright, no sunny though, just didn’t rain.

These shots were after some time warming up. Lovely people.

Can you imagine if it was raining? Okay, soaking wet, discomfort in mind, but would you imagine what kind of photograph it would have been?!

Then again, you would think the make up will ruin. Ohhh, what the heck. It didn’t rain, it wouldn’t matter now.

I shouted, and I hope they heard me. “Eskimo kiss you 2!!! ” They did.. nose to nose… lovely

Came about when we were about to head off. All I wanted to do was find a place to park my car to walk towards the Putrajaya Wawasan Bridge, I came about being under the bridge with absolutely quite dark, and I said, perfect. I am gonna use my car headlamp as my main lightsource.

The imagery was just fantastic.

My attempt of getting a shadow photo. Aik, not to shabby I think. Not the greatest, but not too shabby.

This is an amazing shot of Dennis & Demi staring at the sky ala dreamy shot.

This is something what I like more.

You two are fantastic. Looking forward to shoot at your wedding! :)

Jeff & Rachel

August 19th, 2008

Oh, what a session. We walked about Kuala Lumpur to shoot some wedding portraitures. Despite the humidity and the heat, Jeff and Rachel was so in the game. Sometimes, I think we are blessed with beautiful sunshines but at the same time, the heat is just a killer.

The shoot was done pretty much as we stroll along the streets. Being in the public, Jeff & Rachel appear to be super cool and super sporting. We played along with people around the streets, saying hie to them. I went all and about and tell them, they were getting married, ain’t she beautiful. What a fun time - at least I had.

We came about a strong wind tunnel area where shots like this was just perfect.

I really enjoyed the session. No doubt about it, it was tiring - which made me think, the couple would have been exhausted too. Thank you guys for being such a sport and I really hope you love the photographs taken!

Adam & Shikin

August 11th, 2008

It’s odd, to think about it. Last year, on the auspicious July 7th 2007, I was shooting a Sikh Wedding. Fast forward about a year, where everyone deem the 8th August 2008, or the 888 an auspicious lucky date. I was shooting Adam & Shikin’s wedding. To think majority of my clients were chinese, I thought it’s kinda oddball, 2 years in a row. I wonder when comes to 9th September 2009, what are my options. Psst, I am not booked yet.

Both Adam and Shikin engaged me as their wedding photographers more than a year ago. They had to. Both Adam and Shikin were not in the country til almost the same week of their wedding. I am bless with clients like this where they put in their absolutely trust in me for showing up at their wedding, doing what I do best. I thank them, and thank all my previous client.

Red roses - beautiful contrast between her wedding dress, and obviously I don’t have a shot right here to illustrate just that. I have them in my complete shoot collection.

Plenty of photographs taken that day, and these are some of my favorites. If you are looking for a wedding photographer, I would be glad to show you the rest.

Congratulations on your wedding Adam & Shikin. I hope you guys are having a good time in your honeymoon right now.
