The Hope and the Light - Nigel & Beatrice Wedding Day in Bintulu, Sarawak

One day Beatrice contacted me through whatsapp and immediately we start talking once in a while, Beatrice is a wonderful person where she does not give you any hard times and will just make you feel good at all times. Was quite excited about the trip to Bintulu to cover her wedding as I love the East part of Malaysia so much, everyone were very nice indeed. A different culture, however during the shooting day I realised that we are all from the same church, and it feels like a family together and recalling the old days where I used to be very holy and loving the word of God, that is the part I missed most after i came back from the States and even as a professional photographer I do not think I am able to attend Church as much. But this trip really had brought my spiritual part back, and for this very day, I felt like home. When Beatrice told her family about my religion, everyone were rejoicing with the word "Amen", even when I responded that I am actually a 'lost sheep', a lady replied 'you are still a part of the body', and for that moment I felt so emotional, that spirit kept mingling within me over my flight back. And this trip, I've seen God. Hehe.... thanks to Nigel and Beatrice, I think it is God's call that made me flew all the way to Bintulu to be enlightened. :) May the Lord be with us, always, where we are, and when we are.

New Memories - Fong Sheng & Melannie Pre-Wedding in Melaka

I can say that this is one of my favourite series, reason being is not about how great I like about the shot, is about how real true they are, both Fong Sheng and Melannie are architects by profession, from my experience architectures tends to be a little nerdy in their expectations. But we had discussed so many about the shot and they are just being very corporative to my suggestions, I guess is about the trust that we able to develop between each other before the shoot. During the shoot, we managed to put those things aside and just enjoy every moment of the day, make it the best day they had in their lives. It is very meaningful to me, really really important for my styles that able to achieve through their genuine nature. There are no cries in this session, just enjoyment, a new memories they are about to create, and allow me to create based on those real moments of theirs. We are like a good team together that able to make this happened. I have discovered so much about myself in this day, that I am still alive and still able to see love in a true and naive manner. The sunset shot just took my breath away, I couldn't imagine that this place that Melannie picked were so divine, as this is a private premises, I guess I can only produce once. Love you all. You guys are just great.

Enchanting Memory - Winson & Wawa Pre-Wedding in Seoul, Korea

Met this couple during Prince Hotel wedding fair and they signed up our package during that day. How Wawa found me was during my previous trip to Seoul when I was editing my pictures on the plane, but during that time she did not bumped for my name card LOL. As both of them are from the magazine industries, they have a specific expectation from their pictures so it was interesting to hear how they have spoke about the pictures. This time in Seoul I decided to stay in a traditional Korean guest house as I have never tried before, and we did a lot of shopping together with Remy as she is filled with hope and joy during that time because of her wedding preparation. We had lots of fun during this trip, just a little sad that Sakura was a little late this month and only blossom 3 days after the shooting day, but it turned out to be a different series after all. This is a very unique trip where I get to know some new friends in Korea. That was the trip where I began interested to start my Korean venture, and went back to take up Korean classes, maybe one day I could venture my business here. Maybe many does not know what I had gone through during this trip, for my close friends they understood how significant this trip were meant for me, I will not forget about this mind fulfilling week we had.

The Inspirations of Boon & Marianne Wedding Day

There are so much to spoke about this lovely couple. Boon and Marianne are both working in Australia since after school, and when I heard about the city Melbourne, what comes to my mind is that this city had been creating a lot of lovely couples where I always describe Melbourne as the city that is great to fall in love. When I first step into Marianne's home very early in the morning, I found a piece of wall, filled with pictures, I paused a little while to take a look on each of them and straight away I knew which was Marianne. Like how Marianne's dad describe Marianne during his speech, where he brought up some of the obvious characteristics of her having a sexy lips, I immediately agreed to that and laughed. Yes, that was some sexy lips, Boon you are so fortunate! Marianne's parents are really a sweet, I was so touchy when her dad handed over her baby dress over to Marianne as a gift, that was some great message to tell. Right after we went to over to Boon's home, we encountered a massive number of picture lovers where everyone were crazily taking pictures or asked to capture their pictures, we were so busy, but all in all, I indeed cherish every moment because in this day of revolution, picture lovers are good customers, they define our existence. Thanks Boon and Marianne, looking forward to capture your anniversary shots in Melbourne very soon.

Bring back Time - Strerams Family Portrait

One day Pushpa contacted me for a family portraiture, so I went to her home and checked out a few things, Pushpa and I had some discussion on how to do the shoot, so Pushpa told me that it is a time where all the girls are back and they decided to have the portraiture session in the house, bringing back old times and show how they all interact with each other in the family, I was so excited for this because I have been waiting for such a portraiture approach for a very long time. This one is so natural and pure. I guess they really value their memories. So we first had a session to show how the mom was usually was in the kitchen and how the girls interact with each other. Then head on to a very emotional session where all the girls has to express something they have never expressed before to the mom, and those emotions were just poured, it was so precious to see each and everyone of them had this space of expressing with each other, and I was the one to capture those essential moments. Then we head on to the dad, so all the girls mingled with the dad and dad was sitting where he usually sits, with his precious laptop. And later on we went to the girls room, now this is an interesting part, all the 3 girls had actually occupied the room in different period of times, and so what we did was we unite all the time into one and all the girls were in different space, doing what they used to do here. And later on with the piano session and etc. It was such a memorable day for everyone. I was glad to have this opportunity. Thanks to Pushpa, I believe those pictures and albums that you have ordered will meant a lot to all of you. 

Everything you done for us - Yong Wei & Lai Peng Anniversary Love Portraiture

Yong Wei and Lai Peng wanted to have a 1 anniversary photoshoot, at first we thought of doing something different in UPM farm but they decided to have the shot done in our Le Petit Studio, I guess the props they had brought over fits well with our interiors, something cozy and sweet. Which is nice for us because they can focus more about their relationship in this air-conditioned environment. Like usual, Lai Peng hand made all her props again just like how she did in her wedding day, so we slowly set up the props one by one and had a great time together. Lai Peng got very emotional with the beloved session and she cried again, and after the session I received a message from Lai Peng that Yong Wei almost cried too during the session. We just love to shoot a session like this, very true and sincere, nothing that is over done or act upon, all these emotions are real. Thanks for them for trusting my believe from day one, hope to create more theme for you guys very soon.

Where the Journey Begins - Jerry & Carmen Love Portraiture

After Jerry & Carmen had their ROM a while ago, we went to their high school for some love portraitures, both of them were actually studied in the same school in Kuala Lumpur Maxwell High School. The place has a unique colonial touch to it so we revived many of the old stories which brought them back to over 10+ years ago during their high school times. During the old days, love was very pure and naive, where Jerry and Carmen used to exchange lunch box and giving surprises to one another, as told by them, both of them used to be naughty kids, so we went back to their old classroom for some pictures, and head to a classroom to revived many of the things that they did before together. It was nice to capture those as I being the one who is going to walk through many of their journey together, its like an intensive get to know each other session for me. Also I did a small movie for them before the slideshow to add some spices. :)

The Westin Wedding Fair

​One day I was asked to participate for a wedding fair and just happened I was free on this day. At first I did not expect that I was selected as one of the 16 photographers in Malaysia for this event. First time ever in history, where a wedding fair focuses mainly in photography, its time to put the works to a test and I learned something great today. The test that I was mentioning was trying to see how the couples made their final decision to select us. We get to meet a lot of couples this morning and to be honest, it is hard to address everything that we strive to pursue here with so limited time span. The only thing that we can manage to sell are just beautiful pictures, not really the message behind the pictures we tried to created, therefore I know that I need to redo my booth next time, making it easier to break the barrier, giving the first impression simply not enough and couples that dropped by can only understand a little bit about you and simply do not have enough time to educate. 

There are simply many things can be done with given 10x10ft of space and we understand that showing beautiful pictures will no longer being an effective method for us, reason being we do not just sell pictures, we are selling an idea. ​

Thanks to Westin for giving this opportunity to allow us to grow and to experience. We wanted to thank you all for giving your support for us. It's simply amazing. :)​ We need to thank the team and my family that helped out today. Simply will be a very tiring day if I did this alone. Thanks to mom and dad that helped me during the morning setup, Kevin Tan for your accompany, lunch and some snaps, Cliff and Brenda who came over for some support. Really feel great for the team.

Over The Rainbow - Jerry & Carmen ROM in Carcosa

Going step by step to complete Jerry and Carmen's wedding assignments, from pre-wedding in Japan, to this ROM ceremony in beautiful Carcosa Sri Negara, and later their couple portrait to remember their school days, and lastly their wedding day. All with different specific themes. Since I have made the pre-wedding an elegant one, this time just its something fun and cheesy, with some sweet colors since they opt for a rainbow theme. Many of my friends had asked me why they use a rainbow theme, I guess mainly because it is a day that this couple able to mingle together in a small group, those friends in the pictures are Carmen's very old friends and they called themselves "crazy gang", it is a very meaningful ceremony, where everyone able to sit together, enjoying a cup of tea, and most of the crazy gang peeps stood forward to share a little bits of their friendships and ended most of them cried, lots of laughter and tears, thanks to the very popular MC we had on that day, William, who made the event a meaningful and humorous one.
