Pre-Wedding – Victor & Sophia (Ireland)

Friday, June 18th, 2010

How often do we get to turn our passions into a lifetime career? and at the same time having lots of fun out of it? maybe one in a hundred or thousands. Victor and Sophia not only achieved their dream career as a doctor in Ireland, they enjoy every moments attending their patients and seeing their patients getting well is their biggest satisfaction they ever gets.

likewise, capturing every tender moments of my lovely client was the satisfaction i get in my career as a photographer. moments are priceless. it happened once and gone forever if it not well captured. and when it captured, that’s where a picture worth a thousand smiles…..

and when comes to shoot, “fun” is always my main focus element. enjoy Victor & Sophia’s pre-wedding pictures…….

Pre-Wedding – Dr.Enda Kelly & Dr.Farrah Hani

Thursday, January 21st, 2010

Dr.Enda Kelly, a doctor from Ireland tied-the-knot with Dr.Farrah Hani, former Malaysia rhythmic gymnast represented the country when the sport was in its infancy in Malaysia. The down-to-earth and good-looking Dr.Farrah, who is of Punjabi-Malay parentage, was in fact the first gymnast to help popularize the sport in the country. She has come a long way since then. Today she is a lecturer in plastic and reconstructive surgery.

Dr.Enda Kelly, a shy gentlemen and Dr.Farrah Hani, a cheerful lady who had their pre-wedding shoot over at the ever beautiful Carcosa Seri Negara. Carcosa Seri Negara was the official residence of the highest British representatives to the Malay States and it is one of the leading hotels in Kuala Lumpur with its manicured lawns and luxurious setting. But very unfortunate, Carcosa Seri Negara has been close on the 28th December 2009 for renovation until further notice.

Dr.Farrah’s wedding gown, from Temperley, London designs of combining eternal elegance with modern femininity and the most luxurious of fabrics and embellishments. With a gentle touch on the gown, one knows how luxurious and softness of the fabrics.

Being a photographer who love vibrant colour and fun shoot, capturing Dr.Enda & Dr.Farrah in a different way, was a challenge to me. Here’s are some of my favorite shoots.

Self-Scripted, Self-Directed and Self-Acted Pre-Wedding

Friday, October 16th, 2009

As i have promise earlier to all my friends, i will post up some of my pre-wedding photos that i self-directed and self-scripted for my own pre-wedding shoots. Yes, you are not wrong and this is not a typo mistake. i scripted down the locations, timing and props, directed every angles, compositions and exposures, and acted on my own pre-wedding shoots couples of months before my wedding. Probably this is the first kind of shoot made by a wedding photographer in Malaysia.

With the helps and supports from some close friends, i made it happened! Thanks to my lovely sister Jenny and Rachel, my close friends Sam, Shin Nong, Fook and Leong for the big contributions.

I had many different sessions stretch into few days shoot. Here’s some of the shoots from the fun session. Enjoy guys!
