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.

If I could remember her name correctly, Sarah, Aarathi’s mate from London patiently observing Aarathi getting ready.

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

This is a shot not to be missed in any indian wedding.

Why I do this? I fall in love with the Punjabi culture, and colors and the people. Will be working out the photographs later on. For now, I am looking forward for this week shoot in Terengganu!

Now, here it is, my shoot done in China :

Make Up Artist : Angie Make Up
Location : Yang Shuo, Gui Lin, Guan xi.

My upcoming wedding day shoot’s bride brought us to China for their wedding portraits shoot. Here are some photographs to showcase .

I’ve took time off in the afternoon on a wedding day to shoot these portraits in a beautiful location. Windows are beautiful to take. Classic windows like this are classy, and that beautiful light that coming through those huge windows just made the couple look dramatic and lovely. I love these series a plenty

Looking forward for more shots like this!

I’ve shot Adrian and Mun Leng last September for their wedding in January. We arrived at Heritage hotel in Kuala Lumpur sometime at 11am, where Llyod , then the station master hooked us up for a location for make up. Angie arrived and pretty up the bride, while me and Adrian hang about, watching the ladies doing the thing. We started shooting about 2pm, working the location through and through. We completed the shoot in the evening, and headed off with some photographs that would be compiled in our album. Here are some of my favourite photographs taken that day.

I cannot say how wonderful these two individual are. As a couple, host, husband and wife, and simply friends. These shows even more clearly during their wedding celebrations just happened yesterday – but that conversation has to wait, cos Pau Min & Yean Peng was in San Francisco and they got me to travel half the globe to have their photographs taken for the wedding.

I can’t say enough thank you for all the effort the couple went through to not only make sure I get there, but also all the warm hospitality, sacrifices on their personal comfort, and all the patience they had for me, in getting the job done – in many ways. Thank you, and you guys are an amazing couple and people to know. It’s almost felt like it didn’t happen, that I was in San Francisco recently, but the fact that it actually happened cos, I remember cheesecake factory was amazing! – Sucks to be living in the present sometimes.

We spent a good 2 days for photography. We took the bridal shoot, and a casual fun shoot the day after – it didn’t feel like a casual shoot – it felt like visiting new places, hanging out with them, with my camera on me all the time. – shooting.

I’ve got photographs to show, and these are some from the collection that I adore:

PM & YP, it’s great knowing you both, and getting to know you both has been an humbling experience. Thank you for being great, kind and understanding, and you guys deserve the best in life!
