It was Winon and Yi Wen’ actual wedding day on 29th October 2011.. and I am honoured to be their photographer since the day Winon propose, ROM, Prewedding and until their Actual Wedding Day… Let me tell you the whole story. please bear with me with lots of images and writing with broken english ya….. lol.. hmm let me see, I have to start from year 2009…..

My Story

One day, I receive a call from Winon asking to meet up for prewedding discussion. So, I set up the appointment after my 1st ever experience sharing on Canon 5D mark 2 at Mid Valley invited by Zung. I still remember we were sitting at La Vanilla restaurant and in the mid of discussion, Zung came over and told them, “ohh you are Edwin’s client? yes, pls engage him! ” hahaha.. and that time, Winon told me… “hey, we are looking for a photographer who can capture our wedding start from ROM , Prewedding and until Actual Wedding Day”….. I was like.. hmm okok, we shall see…..so, days later, they confirm my service on ROM and would wanna see how it goes before engaging me for their prewedding and actual wedding day photographer…. and days before their ROM, I received call that Winon would like to do a surprise proposal at Bijou.

Proposal

yes, while Winon and Yiwen enjoying their dinner in the restaurant, videographer, decorators and myself already waited outside for almost 2 hours.. hahaha ok la, i think it is only like an hour .. but but but.. it was dark and cold outside with all those mosquito ! , well, it was my first experience on shooting proposal. It was kinda challenging for me that time given everything happen so fast after they return to the restaurant. We have less than 15mins to get the place ready … Click here for the posting on the proposal

ROM

Another special event where Winon and Yi Wen selected their home for their registration of marriage. The event was held on 3rd floor garden balcony. Click here for the posting on their ROM

Prewedding and Wedding Ceremony at France

A ten days journey begin after so much of discussion and preparation, they are already travelling to some European countries before we depart from Malaysia and we were meeting them in Santorini itself. It was my first Europe Prewedding assignment and we traveled from Malaysia-London-Athen-Santorini-Nante-Paris-London-Malaysia. Click here for the posting details.

A good number of images were submitted to WPPI/ AGWPJA/ WPJA/ IPA which return with multiple awards and some images were featured in both local and international magazines. Let me share with you here some of the images and click here for the awards details. Thank for giving us the unforgettable memories and experience…..the fun that we had, the travel… the time we spend.. all these memories will certainly last for a life time for me…

oh yes, not forgetting Winon and YiWen also won a prize from The Star with the image I captured for them during the engagement portraiture in Nante, France.

 

Actual Day

Before the actual wedding day, we still keep in touched, mostly in facebook hahaha and ya.. the BBQ section at your place..the coffee tasting..the surprise birthday party for Agnes and our VIE Gallery opening!

 

So, here are some of the images on the SDE (Same Day Edit)

It is not easy for someone to make the decision and assign a person to be as their as photographer to capture the moment from the day one Proposal , ROM, Prewedding and until Actual Wedding Day. I would like to express my appreciation on entrusting me as your photographer and treasure our friendship a lot. Beside, I do appreciate your ” thank you speech” during the wedding dinner itself when you address me as your friend instead of photographer….it is one of the happiest moments for me… really…..

So, shall I continue to be your photographer and friend to witness for your honeymoon, maternity, new born child, birthday celebration and dont forget your new factories opening and annual dinner, my friends? hahahahahah…

Thank you… Winon and YiWen and wish you two a happy ever after !

Great job edwin !!!!!
Always got the touch feeling when viewing the photo taken by u :)

Canon Delighting You Always

Always we face a question ask by friends during chitchatting, clients during wedding photography assignment and even participants during workshop, “why do you choice Canon over other brands?”

Well, I can’t tell you about other DSLR brand and make any comparison over it since I never really try on other brand so far. However, one thing for sure, I have been using Canon DSLR since May 2007 from model 400D— 30D-5D till 5D mark II and for lenses, I have been using Sigma, Tamron and Canon. Over the past 4 years, in my experience, I never have any major issues on the gears itself. Beside the poisonous f1.2 L lenses that we all love, most important to us , is the after sales service and technical support. Over the years, whenever we have any repair or technical problem, the marketing, technician and customer service teams from Canon Malaysia are always very helpful to us and solving our issue without any delay. Just an example which I drop my 50mm f1.2 during my wedding assignment on last Monday, they manage to repair it within 3 working days which save my problem on this coming weekend shooting. Beside, Canon Marketing Malaysia is also very supportive when we ask for sponsorship on our recent charity program under A.L.I.V.E . I am really impress on their friendly attitude and willing to take it personally. Yes! Canon has been delighting me always!

 

Once again, TQ so much Canon!

 

 

 

Image of the Day: Bride and Bridesmaid

Image captured during preparation in the morning on bride and her bridesmaids

what is your expectation?

i just read one of my photographer buddy ‘s email from his client which she think photographers are the magician !
with his permission, let me share some of the points that brought up by the client:

Quote

-Can touch up facial expression to look more refresh?
-Can make the door proportion?
-Can you use my husband’s face from image XXXX and my face from YYYY for the image on NNNN ?
-I like the image of XXXX but my eyes are closed, can you edit it ?
-for the reflection image, can you edit away all reflection and just leave one there?
-can you remove the car behind us? just focus on me and the pots will do
-can you edit our face expression to have more feel?
-Can edit the lighting? For sky, I don’t mind if you use fake backgrounds etc to make it pretty…
- Can edit these photos into close up photos that can be enlarged?
-Can edit my armpit ?
- Can remove the furniture around us? ..just focus on my face and ceiling lights

Unquote

even though he explain what “touch up” and “post process” mean during the meeting and discussion, he receive a full-page long list with such request.

As a professional wedding photographer, I am not sure if I can laugh about this or shall I feel sad ? I guess his client need illustrator , Photoshop expert (a photoshoper?? ) and not a photographer.

so, what is your expectation?

In the end they’ll ask for discount because they think they’re the director, and the photographer is now just a voice-activated photo-editing tool. :)
