Good day, As normal begining part of the introduction, my name is Edwin Tan…..
Back in May 2007, when I bought my first DSLR Canon 400D, my intention was to record the precious moments for my family. I was in photography classes during my study in The One Academy back in 1990’s when I was teenager. During film time. I still remember the time I spend on developing film, and photo outing at dataran merdeka to capture the magic hour moments. Everything was so exciting and I fall in love with photography since then even it was just a semester with less than 13 classes. However, due to financial problem, I have to quit The One Academy and join a gas industry. As developing films are very expensive at that point of time, I have to hold back on photography After all these years, when i am back into photography, I started shooting portrait and some still life and same time was thinking may be marco photography will be my choice..However, in July 2007, after I join one of the master of wedding photographers in Malaysia, Zung, ThePhotoz’s workshop, the slideshow that Zung show us really touched me and it turn out to be my passion and my part time job now. I love wedding photography so much and it is the most satisfied moment for me when I see how the couple appreciate and happy about the images and moments that I capture for them no matter how tired I am at the end of the shooting session.

A Great Wedding Dinner Reception, full of funs & joy…you never notice how late it was until you check your watch that night..everyone were enjoying the dinner…
Thanks to Jovita who introduce us to a lovely couple, Geoff & Winnie. Especially to Winnie, thanks for entrusting us as your wedding photographers on your important day of your life. Your wedding is one of the few events that I looking forward since the day I receive the confirmation from you. Below are some of the highlights on the special day:
Morning Session
Evening Session
Came back last night around 2am after shooting. Yesterday is our first experience in wedding shooting during raining day. My partner felt down and injured himself during the process and worst, 2 of his lenses was broken. Well, this is the point when we have 2 photographers, at least I can still continue shooting. The church wedding was cancel due to some misunderstanding between the couple and the Church management and we couldn’t do outdoor portrait due to bad weather. Luckily, we still have some good shoots during the tea ceremony and evening dinner shooting with their cheerful and fun relatives and friends.
Now I am at home editing photos and reading some of my emails. Will be going out soon for another couple shooting today.
This is the 3rd time I purchase goods from Shashinki, Malaysia online camera shop. So far I love their service, on time and professional. Too bad their credit card service is in USD exchange which really not competitive compare to local shops.
As for syder2express, I have been thinking about it for a while, one of PPA members told me, there are millions of monitor screen (be it CRT, projector or LCD) in the world, there is no way we could guarantee that our clients will be able to see the exact same colour, same display as our images displayed on our screen. However, the least we could do is to ensure what shown on our screen is the accurate colours that it should be. This product will calibrate my monitor to ensure this point. Very often I come across our slideshow during wedding dinner venue play back came out totally different colours and some with tinted green or yellowish colours. I really feel dissapointed whenever I am in this situation, just imagine, after the whole morning session shooting and the non stop editing in the afternoon trying to show to the guest on the happening morning wedding day, all we could show is the inaccurate colours images which totally give no impact on the photos at all. Hopefully one day the restaurants and hotel management will able to look into such issues and couples will do a precheck before their actual wedding day with them.
I post this before but it was the following days for Geoff & Winnie’s AKad Nikah. Now finally completed this part of the assignment, pls allow me to share some of the highlights and my favourate shoots. For more photos, pls click here
Kiam Leong and Emily’s registration of marriage at Tian Hou Temple in June itself. I still remember, Stephen and I were just back from Ipoh wedding shooting a night before around 2am and within 5 hours slept, we need to be ready at the temple for this lovely couple. Never feel tired when shooting wedding photo, that is just me hahaha. Kiam Leong and Emily came early for some portrait shooting before the registration and we did have some fun time shooting that morning. Best wishes to both of you:
I really appreciate Wein & Adeline to be my 1st night shoots at bukit bintang area for their prewedding shoots. Initially, both of them are so shy for public kissing but after an hour later.. with us as the evil master, they love it and wont want to stop.. hahah, it was a great experience for both parties. Thanks again Wein and Adeline, sorry for all the delay..and see you again in your Singapore ROM at Sept 2008.
Ryan and Antra’s wedding in June 2008. A fantastic actual day with all the fun time with the hengdai and ji mui games, I still remember Antra non stop laughing it when she hear it from her room. Their dinner was held in Sime Darby Convention Center The Decoration and the unbrella shape lighting is gorgeous. Let me share some of the photos highlights. For more photos, pls click here (Morning Session) & (Dinner Session)
Just came back from Tampin on today’s wedding assignment shooting a lovely and energetic couple. We begin our shooting from 930am till almost 6pm and the bride were still having the same smiley face, it is really fun taking their photos and my office colleague Zamrose was there too having his 1st trial on wedding shooting but I see the results is not bad..he learn fast.. another wedding photographer in making, ..
and I am now totally exhausted……
Just a quick view on today event:
Just came back from a very nice garden wedding at Ipoh Indulgence Hotel. Couple, Jeremy and Jamie engage our service since last year and from the date we accept her booking, I was so worried about the low light condition that mention by Jeremy. Worse of all, both of them know photography. In fact, both of them have been carrying around their camera during the whole day event today. Both Jeremy and Jamie are very details person. Like Jamie’s blog to us, it is fortunate and unfortunate as it is a big challenge to us. I was thinking of 5D and 85mm f1.2 since the day she booked us and she have wrote a very details guide to us (33 pages) of photographer must take note information to us in her blog as a guide for us.
Oh, I do remember your best man speech, single men’s life is incomplete and once you married, your life is finished hahah, that is really a good one…But no worry, I will say, once you married, your single life is finished, and your new chapter of your life will begin with your partner...
Indulgence is a very nice restaurant and I am lucky that during our slide-show preparation Jeremy bought us some sandwich and I have a chance to taste on their famous warm round cake. The taste? fantastic!!! Their staff are all friendly and nice to us. The newly open hotel room is even better..nice bathroom and deco. If you have a chance to visit this place, don’t forget, they are not open on Monday and Tuesday.
As for Jeremy and Jamie, this is our first garden wedding and I do appreciate you have trusted us as your wedding photographers. Hope our 2 hours slide-show will be able to fulfill your requirement and do stay tuned for more photos after this… and lastly, congratulation on your marriage!!
Thanks to Sean Lim who help us up a lot during this shooting
Just to share a few photos based on afternoon quick slide-show touch up.
