Firstly, I must apologize for this long overdue blog post as I’ve been travelling quite a bit to cover weddings both overseas and throughout Malaysia, but I’m glad that I’ve finally managed to find some time to upload some photos of this really beautiful Punjabi + Chinese wedding.

What do you get when a sweet petite Chinese girl from Malaysia meets a tall dashing Punjabi guy from New Delhi?

An explosive potpourri of colours, sights, and sounds, when they get married in an elaborate Punjabi wedding ceremony and luncheon, followed by a traditional Chinese tea ceremony and wedding dinner, right here in Malaysia.

Susan & Ankush were university mates in the United Kingdom, and coincidentally, both Susan’s and Ankush’s parents said the same thing to them, “Find someone to get married to there before you come back…” and guess what, both of them ended up coming back with each other. Isn’t that such a romantic love story? So, how befitting it is then that the song they’ve selected for their wedding slideshow is ‘Endless Love’. 

Susan and Ankush, congratulations once again. Both of you make a really lovely couple!

Thanks for dinner and yes, perhaps we might pop by to London, UK in the future, and if so, we’d definitely come by for a visit, and maybe some family or baby portraiture too.

Now, come with me and enjoy this simply amazing feast of colours, sights, and sounds in this spectacular wedding.

Don’t forget to view the slideshow.

After another hectic week, finally I’ve managed to find the time to upload some photos from Sher Li & Murphy’s honeymoon-cum-pre-wedding photography session at Chiang Mai, Thailand.

During our four day-trip, we travelled extensively, throughout almost the entire northern part of Thailand! *phew* Kudos to the lovely couple for their willingness and trust in me as their pre-wedding photographer in embarking on this strenuous but exciting photographic journey together with me and my team.

Sher Li and Murphy, thanks for being so supportive and sporting enough to travel all the way from Malaysia to Thailand, and bearing with the long hours driving throughout Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai for your photoshoot. You are one really sporting couple!

Now let’s take a look and see what we’ve got! Both of them make such a lovely couple, don’t you think?

More photos can be found here.

Chiang Mai is famous for its handcrafted umbrellas and fans.

You’ve not seen Chiang Mai if you’ve not been to the renowned Wat Prathat Doi Suthep.

It was a really hot day at the elephant sanctuary…. but the lovely couple nevertheless had fun during their elephant ride.

Sheltering under their umbrella at the colourful villages of the Karen & Akha tribes.

Well, I’m finally back in Malaysia after nearly a week in Thailand for Sher Li and Murphy’s pre-wedding photography session.

Not only is Thailand one of my favorite destinations for my work as a destination wedding photographer, but it’s also a wonderful place for a holiday! The country’s great variety of culture, exotic food ie spicy tom yum (!), and warm hospitality, are the reasons that I keep returning to this amazing country.

Last week, we had the chance to spend some time in Chiang Mai with Sher Li and Murphy for their pre-wedding photoshoot. For starters, here is one of the couple’s favourite pics to whet your appetites. This was taken at the famous Wat Prathat Doi Suthep.

The rest of the photos will be uploaded here soon, so do come back again to view them.

Hi everyone… yes, I know it has been a month since I’ve updated my blog… I’ve been so busy travelling both within Malaysia as well as overseas. In fact, next week, I will be traveling again… this time to Chiengmai, Thailand, for a pre-wedding photoshoot.

Anyway, here’s one of my recent pre-wedding photography sessions to share with you all. Not only is Frasers Hill a well-loved holiday location in Malaysia, but it is also an increasingly popular destination for pre-wedding photography.

Whilst there to photograph Keeli and Avinash’s pre-wedding on a week day, we bumped into two other groups of photographers on various shoots!

The cool refreshing climate up there is a welcome change for wedding couples all decked out in their resplendent attire… gives new meaning to the happy term ‘no sweat’!

Despite a slight drizzle, the weather was lovely… cool, fresh air, and just the right amount of sunshine… We spent some time shooting at the park, a few colonial bungalows, and the golf resort… plus some Bollywood style shots as well. The sporting couple were attired in the customary white wedding gown, traditional Indian garments ie sari and kurta, and evening wear.

Hope you enjoy viewing the photos!

The very first time I witnessed the Ironman Malaysia Triathlon was in 2002, when I accompanied a friend who participated in the race.

Well, it’s now the 10th anniversary of this challenging international event, which has been held yearly in Langkawi, Malaysia, for a decade. Also known as ‘the toughest show on earth’ with 17 hours of non-stop action, the Ironman triathlon this time round had over 600 participants from 41 countries participating in the 3.8km swim, 180km bike ride, and 42km run, from 7.30 am in the morning til 12.45 am at night, with the winner completing the race in just slightly over 8 hours! And the best part of all, most of the participants were ‘return customers’ who support this event year after year.

What really inspired me most was that each participant who took part in the race, did so not just because there’s a monetary prize involved (in total USD50,000), but did so with the determination to complete the Ironman Malaysia Race. You are all champions, my friends!

Now, let’s take a look at some photos. This is the artistic version of covering a sports event!

Please be patient while the slideshow loads as it may take a few minutes depending on the internet connection.
