Gone Diving... (Out of Office)

I will be going to a little paradise Island to celebrate my dearest dear birthday... this is gonna be a 5 days celebration fit for a queen... :P think both of us r seriously in need of a getaway to rejuvenate... :)

Since it's a little Island.. i am "hoping" there will be internet access, nevertheless, keep the mail coming.. i will revert whenever possible.. :)

To those couples that i will be meeting 5 days later: thanks for being so patient... i will cya you guys when i am back... :)

A Real Teaser.... :)

Juz got back from Gary & Dawn wedding... :) Had been a long n tiring day... muscle are aching... but after going thru the raw images.... think its all worthwhile... :) 

Gary & Dawn are one of those first few couples who hv signed me up for 09 wedding ... During our first meet up... i knew i would enjoy working with them... :) n spot on... c'mon.. how often would a bride's mum tell you that her daughter wanted her to make sure u're well taken care of... it's really thoughtful... one of their aunties are also really kind to offer to get me food while i was busy shooting during the banquet.. sweet!! n i sure love working around nice ppl... :)

Here are a little teaser from today ( i meant yesterday) shoot... okok... make it two for this really kind and lovely couple...

now... these are suppose to tease you (make you wanna see more)... :P

wanna more??? stay tune then.... :)

Ritchie & Hui Wei....

Finally cleared some of my backlogs... i am seriously trying hard to send out all albums before my "getaway trip"... ok... i mentioned "trying"... the look of it... might not be possible... :P good thing is.. i managed to clear some work... geez.. i really need a break... :)

I am in the process of editing the images from Ritchie & Hui Wei wedding... this is one wedding that i  might hv arrived slightly too early (in the morning).... :P ok.. maybe 15 min too early... i thought i was at the wrong place... no one answer the door... n i realized that everybody still aslp... geez... luckily the make up artist came soon after... so at least.. i woke everyone up at the right time... :P

So much of ranting... here are the images from that lovely day... check it out!

many more to go.... but gonna sleep now... head is spinning...  :|

Jeremiah & Hemalatha...

ok... i am actually multi-tasking right now... doing up the album layout.... uploading video... and blogging... to the extend that my trusty com is abit laggy.... so much to do... so little time... :)

Finally the slideshow for Jeremiah & Hema is done.... i know Hema is waiting to see this... :P me too... i cant wait to share this with my devoted readers... that is.. if there is any... :P i always enjoyed shooting something that is different... the solemnization of Jeremiah & Hema is different in many ways... from the post ceremony entertainment (reminds me of those company D&D).... :P with lots of laughters.... :) to the father's day celebration... n yes... a whole bunch of dads were around that day... n at least two of them would be really proud of their son & daughter.. :)

In-Between-Work

The editing process is never easy. It's mentally challenging and physically demanding.... Having to drain every bit of my creative juice... straining the ever so important window of the soul... :P for images like this...

 i will need a break... n in between those break.... i will usually look thru Youtube.... u'll be amazed with what ppl do... :) here is a video i found....

This is the kind of video that kept me going thru the night... 

:P

J & H Sneak Peek!!! (Revised) :P

This is a revised version of the earlier post.... decided to redo the photos because i am not happy with how it turned out.... its either i am too tired or juz not in the mood when i was editing the previous set of images.... it will never pass my QC.. so redo the whole set... n here you go.... :)

------------------------

This is my 2nd time documenting an indian ceremony... n it's never failed in enticing me with their colorful ritual... the challenge is having to anticipate the flow of event... however this also allows me to see thing from a whole new perspective... not easy.. but it's real fun!.... :)

Jeremiah & Hema : Thanks for having me as your photographer... i know u cant wait to see the rest for the photos... :) Do stay tune for the slideshow... coming up real soon.. :P

Chee Chong & Yvonne...

As promised.... more images from the lovely Chee Chong & Yvonne wedding day... had a blast documenting this wedding... :)

(Warning Image Intensive) :P
