A dog named Prince and a lot of love: Jeremy & Sarah

Shortly after Jeremy and Sarah tied the knot, they decided on a little portrait session involving their two dogs as they weren’t there during the wedding. As an animal lover myself, I can imagine how much this means to them! Unfortunately, about a week before the shoot, one of the dogs passed away, and Sarah was devastated. So only Prince made it for the shoot. He was such an easy model, they must have bribed him with lots of goodies before the shoot started! Love how he is soooo photogenic (I guess Jeremy and Sarah, you guys look quite ok too! :P)

Personally, I think having a post-wedding shoot is quite a good idea. You feel more relaxed, and you had all the posing practice at your actual wedding! (Thanks Johan and Nigel!) There is less stress to ‘perform’ so that everything is perfect. Thanks Jeremy and Sarah, for making the shoot so enjoyable. Glad you love the photos!

Pre-Wedding at Awan Mulan: Boon Hui & Alice

It was in Aberdeen, Scotland, amongst a small group of 10 people that Boon Hui got to know Alice. They had been in the same university in Malaysia for 2.5 years… but somehow didn’t really notice one another. Over study breaks and social gatherings, they got close to one another, but as Boon Hui says, he was pretty dense. Because he didn’t know that Alice had harboured feelings for him, despite her dropping LOADS of hints to him.

Finally, she got through to him, and one night in 2007, he asked her whether she’d be his girl. No words needed to be said as she took his hand and walked with him back to the apartment.

The relationship was challenged when they had to go through 3 years of long distance relationship after Alice came back to Malaysia. Every year, they would meet at a beautiful location and have a trip together but it was really difficult being apart physically.

One day, Alice discovered she had to go through a major operation to remove a tumour. He flew back to support her, and that really touched her so much, knowing that he would be there no matter what.

A long distance relationship is difficult in the first place. But to go through illness… well, I think relationships that endure such challenges will endure through the years. I am so pleased that Weiming and I could just catch a glimpse of their love through these images in such a beautiful setting.

Raw, Vintage & Classic: En Ruey & Jas Min’s Pre-Wedding

One of the things I love about my job is the ability to connect with my clients. Photographing people is such a personal task, and making them feel comfortable and look confident in front of the camera is a challenge I take to heart. Just knowing that I have managed to capture the essence of a person through my images makes me really happy. That’s how I keep going on and on, year after year, even though physically, the job is really tiring.

En Ruey and Jas Min, I am really glad that we could connect and get along so easily. I love all the random locations you brought me to, and of course, all the fun ideas you had! My two photography sessions with you and your family made me feel like long lost family members; I feel so welcomed. En Ruey, thank your mom too for the brunch after the shoot! I am looking forward to your wedding this January!

By En Ruey (Henry): Having done a family shoot with Grace a few weeks before, I was confident the indoor shoots would go relatively well. I was however very worried for the two outdoor shoots as we didn’t opt for the usual outdoor pre-wedding locations and went guerrilla instead. One of the locations we scouted was a piece of undeveloped land full of lalang, trees and was very secluded. To make matters worse, I heard a rumor the night before that a couple and their photographer got robbed at the exact location so I was quite stressed for everyone’s safety. But it was all for naught as nothing untoward actually happened on the day of the shoot.

The first shot of the day was a walk-by in front of some steel structures and vines with the morning sun hanging low in the background. Being directed by Grace on how to stand and where to walk while being engrossed in each other made it so easy. After taking a few shots, she walked up grinning and showed us the shot on camera and it was absolutely beautiful. To me, that really set the tone for the day and we really got into the shoot after that and went all out.
