9th Place in top 30 wedding photographers for AGWPJA 3Qtr 2008 Contest

Received a message from Edmund saying that I won 3 prizes including 2nd place in Emotion category this afternoon while we are in Gemas Hotel preparing the slideshow for this morning tea ceremony.  It is really a nice and great surprise to me after a recent “series of unfortune events“-handphone, car gear, car audio, laptop hardisk broken, out of order…..

  2nd place, Comments from Judges: This is just a nice clean image. The juxtaposition of the tears is a nice touch. A pure and simple powerful reflection of the big day. So nice to see what looks like a longer lens move to the core of the action.

• 13th place in Ring Detailts Category

  13th place, Judges Comments: Another one of those supersaturated (perhaps slightly overdone) images that keeps the eye moving right toward the rings themselves. There were numerous images of rings and flowers. Most of them were excellent. Some of them were really beautiful. There is a luscious quality of light and color that I couldn’t escape. The circular patterns of the flower mimicking the rings made for the right mix of elements.

  15th place: Comments from Judges: Here’s a photographer who knows how to react quickly and compose with feeling, drama and technical prowess at the same time.

Really want to express my appreciation and thanks to all who supported me for the past one year during my photography journey including my mentors, master, wedding photography partner and of course my family members…
