Last year, I travelled to Zurich to shoot for Faiza and Alex. This year, I traveled to Trivandrum, India to shoot their akad nikah. It was much pleasure to be working with them again but it did not just end in India. Few days later I was in Penang to shoot their dinner reception catered for Faiza’s friends and relatives in Malaysia.

We had a casual and fun portraiture session in the room at E & O Hotel, Penang. Faiza got into her lovely Indian saree while Alex in his Sherwani (hope I get the description right for traditional Indian’s men’s suit).

Then they changed into their kebaya and malay costume, ready for their dinner reception at Peranakan house, Penang. It was also my first time shooting there as well. It was something different from Blue Mansion where I last shot while I was in Penang. Peranakan is definitely another traditional house which I would go again to shoot if there is a chance given!

Two photos taken in India. We did not have enough time to shoot portraits as something misfortune happened a day before the wedding. A relative of Faiza passed away and the funeral was few hours before their akad nikah. Despite that the wedding went on and many of the friends and relatives attended. It was a small village but I think everyone went for the wedding.

Hoping to visit you guys again in Zurich! Have a blessed marriage life to both of you, .

While I was in Mexico shooting for Paola and Karsten’s wedding, I have the great opportunity to meet their friends, Andrea and Christoph who had a casual portraiture session with me. It was their first time having photos taken by a professional photographer and they were asking for opinions what should they wear. It was really an honor to be able to help them out. And as for posing, I often tell my clients to be as casual and comfortable so that they look more natural in front of my camera. We had some fun shoots and the colors of building in Mexico really put an ease for me in looking for nice locations. Oh yeah, and I almost forgot, Andrea and Christoph decided to hire me to shoot for their wedding coming September in Munich, Germany. It was another honor to me as they brought their initial wedding date forward so that I could be there to document their wedding. Thanks guys and I can’t wait to be there during Octoberfest in September! Before that, let us feast on some of their photos taken in Queretaro, Mexico.

Siew Mun + Siew Yen = Stylish and Stunning

June 30, 2010 | Filed Under Prewedding/Engagement Sessions | 1 Comment

I have knew both Siew Yen and Siew Mun since two years back when I shot their friend’s wedding. Siew Yen is also a photography hobbyist and she wanted something stylish for her prewedding photos. I asked around and managed to find this train yard in Klang (which is also a common playground for other photographers) which was very suitable for the shoot. It was a very hot and sunny session and most of us got sunburnt during that session. I would like to thank Veralyne for showing me to that place and also friends of Siew Mun and Siew Yen who were there to help. Also much thanks to Hanna Liew for her profesional make up artist job even though she is pregnant and have to ride the train with us. Here are some of the photos that were taken that day:
