Started shooting at this building.

Then we move on to a tram stand where we thought including the tram might show a lil bit of Hong Kong elements.A beautiful capture & timing by Faiz!

Then while we were walking i stopped the couple to have a few shots at this very nice downlight with Hong Kong street as the background. I was really lucky to capture & include the tram too!

From Faiz’s angle, what a nice lighting & reflection to add some spice to the scene!

We were actually thinking to include the building as the main feature but then it didn’t turn out good so i thought maybe i could include the Hong Kong taxi pass by and hopefully it might make a good capture.

Peggy’s mom brought us to this very nice looking stairs. Looks like a cobble stone stairs, the area surrounded by bars & pubs made a good night scene.

Just a few steps down the stairs, we found a street full of neon lights.nice bling bling background!

and another shot of them on that street.

And the last spot was very special! It is a covered outdoor escalator stretching all the way uphill. You’ll be amazed how long this escalator is, we were told that the middle group citizen lives on the hill and they will need to take the stairs to go down town Hong Kong for work. Imagine how tiring it is going back up the hill everyday??? So the government built this escalator to make life easier.cool!!!

and lastly my favourite shot of all!

well there’s a lot more Hong Kong contents, photos & videos! so stay tune to our blog!

Here we are with the new chapter of Perth.In this chapter we shot Loi & Nicole at one of the most photographed location in Perth that is the University of Western Australia aka UWA. We were there around noon so Suhaimi will give some tips & tricks on working under harsh lighting condition,turning bad lighting into usable lighting.
Enjoy the tutorial!

note : all images were directly converted from CR2 to JPG.They were not edited for video viewing purpose.

Here’s a sneak preview of whats to come!

This pic shot by Suhaimi just can’t get out of my head!

I just love this pic of how the natural light above changes Jade’s Kebaya to dark green from light green

A staircase found in the middle of hotel’s courtyard.

Check out the cool stone carving at the back contra with Jade’s dress

The last shot we did on that day, their shoes really interesting looking!

Ashley getting ready.




Ashley’s sister checking out her progress & Ashley was actually holding a bridal magazine for makeup reference.

Her wedding gown & her shoe detailing.

Ashley was all ready and Hagen has arrived.

And then there was the gate crashing game, the girls had a list of task on paper for the guys! Some of it, Hagen’s friends was required to drink one big bottle of Coke in one shot. Then there was the eating chili stuff which one of Hagen’s friend really enjoyed.

Then it was Hagen’s turn, he was required to put on lipstick which was not bad….

The Mom really enjoyed the show!

And Hagen went up to pick up the all lovely Ashley.

There was the prayer afterward.This part is actually different from a Christian ceremony.


Lastly the tea ceremony is something like merenjis for malay wedding where the couple will serve the parents and relatives a cup of tea & they will also receive Ang Pao.

Now its the kids turn to receive Ang Pao from the couple.

And now of to the Groom’s house.Servings outside the house.

Another tea ceremony but this time for the Groom’s family members.

FYI the guy in red is actually something like Pak Andam where he takes care of the ritual. Can be seen here he’s displaying Ashley to the mother in law, checking out all around if she’s in good condition.

One thing i didn’t know was that they give out jeweleries during the tea ceremony and check out Ashley’s hand & neck.Bling bling all over!

Check out the blings!

The Aunts telling Hagen to take care of the bling bling!

That’s all i’ve got for you this time around.Can’t wait for another chinese wedding in Melaka end of this month.it’s gonna be a traditional one!

Kirk’s event was very simple even he was wearing white blazer with jeans! Jenny was in a beautiful wedding gown. This time around we took quite a different curve of editing, we don’t usually heavy edit our pictures into a certain kind of color mood.Maybe this is one of those once in the blue moon editing!Have a look at these pics and have your say.

Entertaining the guest before the actual wedding event starts.

I love this shot because she was actually reaching for balloons with her right hand but when i snapped she looks as if she were posing for the camera.

The youngest flower girl ready to go anytime!Bring it on!

And the march is on!

Kirk & Jenny gave a short speech before entertaining the guest.

Jenny entertaining the guest.

The restaurant’s food was so good & This looks so tasty i couldn’t resist snapping it!!!

Caught this boy drooling too early!

And caught this little guy drooling over the cake with a cheeky smile!

The most happening part of the wedding!

Love this photo because i caught them doing the same thing but in different way in the same frame.Kirk was entertaining his friend on the phone & Jenny was entertaining her friend on the floor.

I just love tea ceremony because this is the only part where all the relatives get together.

Love this one very much, as there are so many layers in this pic.1stly all the boys wearing 88 shirts,then Kirk’s hand was full,one shake hand and the other giving out ang pau.Then the boy’s shirt has Jerry ’shhhhh’ at the camera and the boy is shaking hand with Kirk but the other boy isn’t.

Well one of the adult needs an ang pau too!

We just love shooting chinese wedding,it’s like a breaker for the usual Malay wedding reception.New things to shoot & new stuff to learn.thx for viewing!
