Thomas and Hui Ling, I’m so glad that both of you agreed to try out Fraser’s Hill as your pre-wedding photography location. Not many couples are willing to venture that far for a pre-wedding shoot… but it is well worth it for those who do!

I’ve seen so many couples having their pre-wedding photography session at Kiara Park, Taman Tun, and you can imagine the scorching sun blazing down on them in their wedding attire… the poor groom sweltering under his dark jacket absorbing all the sun’s heat, his white shirt inside soaking wet from perspiration… and the emotions registering on his face a tortured “Why Me? What have I done to deserve this?” kind of look, while the bride continues to smile serenely (somehow women are always so much more tolerant and still manage a smile!) in front of the camera without any complaints despite all her layers of bridal satin!

Believe you me, those are not exactly the emotions you want captured during your pre-wedding shoot, not plastered-on smiles on the outside but inside thinking, “It’s soooo hot!! When can I take off all these extra layers of clothing!? When can I get indoors under the air-con!?”. How much more meaningful it is to be comfortable, and to be yourself, so that your natural and ‘real’ emotions, and characteristics, can be encapsulated in the digital images that you will treasure for a lifetime.

So, kudos to Thomas and Hui Ling for braving the two-hour drive up to Fraser’s Hill and its winding roads just for this pre-wedding shoot.

Some funny posts… LOL…

More photos are available here.

Yes, I’ve got a D700 now! The Auto ISO noise performance has totally blown my mind, and the FX sensor gives me a whole new world to look at.

For those of you who are contemplating an upgrade, I strongly encourage you to do so, because this camera will definitely put a smile on your face, in fact, it will ask you, “Why so serious?“

Let these few pictures convince you. Remember to check out the EXIF.

Shooting location is in Ole-Ole Bali Restaurant, Solaris. KL.

Before I go off to KK for a wedding shoot, I would like to share a few pre-wedding photos of Meng Hong and Grace (or MnG, as they are fondly known to their friends) taken just this week.

I’m inspired by both of you, so full of energy and zest!

Do come back to check out some more fun shots later.

When I started processing this batch of photos with a few sepia tones, I couldn’t help but keep selecting even more to be converted into sepia tones…  in the end, I just decided to turn the entire series into sepia tone!

I’m a huge fan of sepia, but not every couple can take a sepia look.

However, for Bryant and Karen, somehow, the classy and jazzy nostalgic look and feel complements them very much. They look cool in colour, but even cooler in sepia!

So, I’m only going to upload the sepia tone version in my gallery. How’s that for a change? But don’t worry, you guys get the colour version on DVD too!

Working with both of you was really fun. And Equatorial Hotel is indeed a very popular location for wedding banquets.

Congratulation to both of you, and God Bless!

Don’t miss the slideshow! For the best effects, be sure to turn on your speakers!

The complete series of photos is here.

A simple note like this really makes my day. And not to mention the English toffee all the way from the UK.

I believe many photographers out there also wish to receive some appreciation like this, because ’sometimes’ we are being called “Halo, halo….. can take picture of me arr? Make me slim-slim and dunwan to see double chin, ok?” LOL…

Sharon & Patrick, I had loads of fun working with both of you, and I wish you both a blessed life together in London and hope to catch up with you again soon.
