One of the cutest family portrait ever taken, with my old couple Steven and Valerie who married 2 years ago. This time with their little boy Christon. It was a nice sunny day and love the whole dressed up, all planned by Valerie herself. I kept on smiling while editing their picture, and all our team love to see the results, kept on staring cute Christon and laughed lol.
Anson and Angel flew all the way to Malaysia to have their pre-wedding pictures taken. Before the shoot, both of them carried a standard understanding of how a standard portrait pictures were taken as both of them have never encountered our unique shooting styles. Nevertheless, we slowly engaged them to take away all those standard understanding and a little brain cleansing process we tailor for them hehe. This time we brought over Cliff Choong as assistant and Gary Ngui for some video taking. I have to say that actually Hong Kong couples are more open to genuineness and it is in fact easier to engage them to be real and truthful. We are so glad that we able to provide those experience for them. They specifically like the tree in UPM, we appreciate their trust in our work, and all the enjoyment we had together. Hope to hear from them again.
Martin & Sharon seldom take pictures but Sharon has a rather artistic mind, when we spoke about the session it is all smoothly organised. I still remember at the end of the day, Martin and Sharon sent us back to our new hotel new the airport, and we took some instant shots over there. It is not often to hear about this couple, both of them are rather introverted hehe. It was a windy trip for september, not sure why but brides has been quite ambitious for this time simply because they like to wear a dress for blighton beach session, for a moment I feel that female is indeed unique.
There is so much to spoke about this couple, where Ying Hao is a PHD working in Melbourne and Melissa works in Singapore. My first impression about this couple is a nerdy and sentimental mix. Both person seperated in a long distance relationship, and very surprised that nerdy Ying Hao was in fact quite obsessive in nature hehe, longing to take control of everything. I am sure it is normal for a man with long distance relationship. Both of them had gone through lots and finally found a sweet spot where both person able to be comfortable with and decided to get married. Because of this, my initial plan for them was to ask Ying Hao to anticipate everything in the shooting session, to be the best guy in the world for Melissa on that special day. I hope Ying Hao had felt so much about the day itself if he really able to cherish the authentic moments of a life time. However, not everyone is able to focus on that authentic point. Regardless of how each person perceive the outcome, I understand that time will tell the difference, about the hard work seeded within them.
Met Jeff and Phyllis from another wedding in Kota Kinabalu and had been communicating with Phyllis numerous of times and she is just too sweet. Love and be a unique journey, some people gone through a long process of understanding and some just need little time to fully understand, for Jeff and Phyllis, their journey is short. Jeff made his brave proposal to Phyllis because he just love her so much, seriously I would do the same if I were Jeff. Phyllis had a while of decision making, and I just love walking behind this couple and see how Phyllis melt Jeff's heart with her deep deep kisses. There is a little bit of a journey I haven't seen within them which is the journey of experience, which I believe might be important for them in this relationship. Just trying to make this photo session more interesting, everything has been done to stimulate the understanding of a future relationship, like caring, considerate, and many many more. When I saw Jeff used his finger to hold further of Phyllis in the above picture, I can realize that Jeff actually loving more, but life has not brew into that state yet. And so I made this theme, wishing that it can complete them, everyday, in many years to come.
Yes another wedding fair, lots of meet ups, lots of questions answered, lots of people came over to say hi. And funny Kevin Tan came over with the T Shirt written "Visionary". Yea he loves our team spirit, and thanks to Cliff and Brenda who came over for helping up. Its our first team work together before we will launch something new in our team. Life just keep me busy, workshops, shooting, teaming, new studio, and this wedding fair. People said that I am a miracle man, someone that can do multiple jobs at the same time. LOL.
Qiqi had her little one first before they do their wedding ceremony, and yes we will be covering their ceremony really soon. It was lovely to cover baby portraitures, if you asked me which kind of portraiture I love most, my answer will be newborn, but many bride didn't know that so they only decide to enquire after the baby is 1 month old hehe. However, love those lovely moments they had together. Handsome hubby, pretty mom, cute baby, nothing more to ask for. :)
Day 1 - with Jone & Shiau Ferng
Day 2 - with Josh & Rachel
Day 3 - with Andrew & Chen Chin
Day 4 - with Siong Yuen & Kia Yong
Met up this lovely couple and they signed up on the spot for our Bali pre-wedding during a Wedding Fair in Mid Valley. Both of then have something unique within them, while Siong Yuan being the sentimental guy who felt so much for Kia Yong, and Kia Yong who is sensitive and loving and always being touched by him. Both of them have their own ideals. When I understood their ideals, and believe that one day these ideals might not be permanent, I then tried to create this theme of emotions to metaphor those values that set forth, making it permanent forever. Kia Yong gave Siong Yuen a nice watch, and Siong Yuen gave a traveller bag in return to her, inside with a letter and Siong Yuen wanted to travel around the world with her. On that moment, Kia Yong almost cried. It may be not important whether they have travelled around the world in the future, but for that moment, it is true.
Andrew and Chen Chin is one of the very natural couple I've ever met, they just understood the whole importance of the session and just being the most truthful self in front of me. The relationship we have build prior to the shoot was awesome, both Andrew and Chen Chin are able to cherish their relationship on that day, trying their best to enjoy the whole process and throw away all expectations, and just want to remember, how deep they appreciate each other. I guess the time was well spent for waking up that early for the shoot lol. They just have a lot of energy, no stress, its all just laughters. It is nice to see when both of them receive the pictures, the smile in their faces, knowing their true emotions had been captured and are able to remember it for the rest of their lives. I indeed felt meaningful that day.
