Aarathi & Stephen

Client that trust my work, I notice, they book me early. There is this leap of faith and trust that I would do a good job in photographing the once in the lifetime wedding. I remember Aarathi, we probably communicated a couple of times over the email, but the first time I met you, it was in Melbourne Central’s Starbucks during my visit on Autumn in Melbourne 2009 project that I did. I met Steve a lot later in KL on later date nearer to their wedding.

I know I am dealing with a great client. Their eye sparkles when they talk to you – as though they found gold, and I totally melt. I felt so much appreciation just by showcasing my portfolio. Here is an honest mistake, I melted… till I misquoted a lot of albums! Let’s just say that they got a very good deal – And no, I don’t think I will repeat the same mistakes again.

I always awed covering mix culture weddings. Learning cultures, accepting the differences, adapting in a completely different world which we use to be shaped from our own family culture and values.I guess that makes us human. We are just great explorer.

No monkey business. Batu Caves is an interesting location to shoot a wedding. The monkeys self invites to be part of the wedding party.
