Capturing Joy: Our Experience at The Nurts Day 2025

The Nurts Day in June was a beautiful celebration of family, connection, and fun!

Over two full days, more than 1,000 families came together to enjoy meaningful activities that weren’t just entertaining, but also deeply enriching. It is a privilege that we get to be part of this year’s Nurts Day. The Stories team had the opportunity to engage with so many lovely families, capture precious memories through our mini portrait sessions, and even print cute sticker photos on the spot for those who visited our booth. 

It was heartwarming to see parents and children laughing, learning, and bonding in such a joyful space. We are glad to connect with like-minded partners who share similar values related to family bonding. These moments will remain a core memory in the minds and hearts of many children for years to come. ❤

We were so touched by the feedback we received from families who joined us:

Mei Yee said:

“I was very satisfied with the experience. The photographer was extremely patient, even though our baby was quite hard to handle that day. A special thank you to Grace as well for sharing helpful tips on how to get my son to look his best in the photos. Overall, it was a smooth and pleasant experience.”

Nellie shared:

“Our photographer was incredibly professional and made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. The session was short and sweet—just the right length for our little toddler, who can be quite a handful! Leong Wai was so patient and skilful in engaging with our child, managing to capture lovely, natural moments. We’re really happy with how everything turned out. Highly recommend Stories for family photoshoots!”

To everyone who stopped by our booth – thank you for letting us be part of your family’s memories.

And to the amazing The Nurts team: well done on creating such a vibrant and meaningful event! 💛

 

Testimonial & Behind the Scenes: Andrew & Katrina

It’s about time we posted another behind the scenes video! If you are a regular blog visitor, you would have seen Andrew and Katrina’s photos from their 2 day pre-wedding shoot and wedding celebrations in KL and Phuket last year. I am so glad that they agreed to do a video testimonial for us after the wedding. I’ve recently started a collection of testimonials on our Facebook page, and will update our testimonial page on our website soon. On days when the going gets tough, it’s a great pick-me-up, reminding ourselves that what we do matter, and that we are on the right track.

It gives us great satisfaction knowing that we’ve made such a difference in someone’s life, capturing memories that can never be relived again except through photographs.

Studio family portraits: Nicholas & Sophie

Every now and then two cute little munchkins like Lucas and Chiara would come along, and then we’d get gorgeous family portraits like the one below! Our natural light studio feels like a home, and so we get casual looking photos for the families that come through our doors. This session was photographed by Jamie.

Sophie says.. “We had booked a 1-hour studio photo shoot with Stories for family portraits, which is quite a challenge when you have two untamed little gangsters as part of the family, and when both parents are camera-shy! The photo shoot studio is very pleasant with lots of natural light – it feels a bit like home. The Stories team was great, easy-going, putting us at ease, adapting to the dynamics of the family and most importantly…we had fun! The photos are beautiful and we keep good memories of this photo session. An experience to renew, definitely!”

Church Wedding Video Highlight: Oleg & Stephanie

Oleg and Stephanie’s Story

We first crossed paths several years ago at an airport overseas while we were on very different journeys in our lives. At that time, I was facing a particularly challenging time in my life. I was in between jobs and feeling rather hopeless about love. We talked a little and exchanged details.

Oleg was very persistent in getting to know me. He sent me emails often, skyped me several times and eventually we started to speak over the phone. He was trying to convince me that a long distance relationship will work if two people really love each other.

During Christmas of 2012, I could not go home to KL. I was very disappointed. Oleg completely surprised me by showing up in Melbourne. It was during this time that we really got to know each other. We went on our first trip together to Sydney and had an awesome Christmas together. It was such an amazing trip. We spent 3 weeks together, and each time Oleg and I went somewhere romantic, he would whisper into my ear “please be mine”. At the end of that trip, my answer was “yes”.

It was quite challenging moving forward as we loved across miles. Oleg was based in Hawaii and I in Melbourne. We travelled back and forth every couple of months to see each other.

In the winter of 2013, Oleg came to visit me in Melbourne. He was insistent that we take a little trip somewhere. I organized a short weekend gateway to Phillip Island. We were really hoping to make it in time to see the penguins, but unfortunately, while driving there, I had to attend to an urgent work call. There we were, pulled up on the side of the highway while I attended to work. Oleg was so furious that my work had disrupted our little trip and that I even allowed myself to be on call (truth be told, I completely forgot that I was on call that weekend). Little did I realize that I had spoilt his proposal plans. Anyway, we finally reached our destination and he organized for a romantic dinner and towards the end of the evening, he popped the question.

Our relationship has been anything but convenient. But, never once did we feel that this is not worth it. He is my best friend and my true love (Oleg says: She is an amazing woman, my best friend and marrying her is the best thing I have ever done!)

About the Video

Dear Stories team, Thank you for putting together a beautiful video for Oleg and I. We are extremely happy with the final cut. Watching the video brought so many memories back.. at the end of the day, memories are all we have. Thank you for being part of ours.

From Us

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to be involved in your special day! We are really happy that everything went well for the both of you on that day. Wishing you a wonderful married life together!

Love that spans a decade: Pre-Wedding of Suresh & Priya

She was only a teenager aged 14 and he was the ‘older’ boy who was 17. One day, in their small hometown in Teluk Intan, Suresh visited a friend who coincidentally lived next to Priya. It was over the fence that Priya caught Suresh’s attention. And it was that day onwards that Suresh fell head over heels in love for this Punjabi girl whom he barely knew. But there was a slight problem. He’s Indian and her family would surely reject him based on that reason.

But it didn’t stop Suresh from trying to get Priya’s number. Being young and naive, Priya was afraid. So she held back, and only gave him her email. It was only 6 months later that she eventually decided to trust him enough with her number. As time passed, Priya realised that she was slowly falling for this guy. He made her feel comfortable and even though he had to move to KL for his studies, every weekend, he would travel back to Teluk Intan just to see her and bring her gifts.

It was only when she moved to KL to study that she realised how important Suresh was to her. He was like her pillar of support, protector and helper. On the other hand, she was his source of comfort during times of stress and always made sure he was well taken care of with her loving and caring nature.

But all through out the 13 years they were together, Priya’s parents were never really supportive of their relationship… till 2 years ago. One day, Priya’s dad had a chat with her and told her that he’d like to meet Suresh. To Priya’s surprise, her entire family got along so well with Suresh! They were taken by his kindness and love for her. And now, 15 years later, Suresh and Priya will be married.
