yeah, lets kick start on the Europe trip journey….Our first stop was Santorini. Reach there at night while Winon and YiWen fetch us from the airport. I heard and dream of Santorini since years ago and finally here I am..the weather is a bit cold, I guess around 10-12C that time. We woke up early in the next morning and try to walk around in Fira town itself while waiting for Winon to fetch us.. just a quick preview on the 1st day morning…It is a maze in the town area itself..we can hear the donkey’s bell from far.. oh did I tell you? it is one of the transportation mode in the town area.. too many staircase.. imagine with all the luggage we carry…

It is a great news to get from Sunny 6am in the freezing morning in Nante (4c now) I wanted to thank to Geoffrey and Winnie who entrusted me as the wedding photographer for their big day as below was one of their wedding photos and is one of my favourate photos taken so far….oh ya,  also Jovita who introduce me to the couple ooo lol Thanks…

Time to pack and leaving for Paris today!!!!

JUDGES COMMENTS: We love how the people in the foreground frame this man抯 amazing reaction. The framing of the main subject by dark objects in the foreground really creates even more intensity in his personality during a toast. A great photo artfully done.

After one day in London and three days in Santorini, now here I am, Nantes, 6th largest city in France. I stay in Winon’ host parent farm house for the past 2 days. Beside the extremely fresh air and warm welcome from Roland’s family, I experience an unforgetable French Wedding party organized by them to both Winon and YiWen…..

It is now 1.30am in Nante and it is only 8c degree out there…. I need to get up early in the morning for an exciting location shoot at a French Castle !!!

Miss my kiddo & my family members, the one I love ……how are you Amanda and Benjamin???

I have been searching for some of my old schoolmates of SRJK(C) Kepong 1 and SMK (Kepong) for sometimes and from time to time, I did check on facebook with their name too (only if I remember their name and spell correctly). Few days ago, I receive a call from Seng Yap, one of my old friend who met my parents weeks ago at the music school while he send his daughter for class. Today, I decide to try my luck again and finally, today I manage to get in touch with 2 of my old friends via facebook.

After 20 over years, OMG, it is just like yesterday where all of us are preparing for exam, looking at stars while waiting for school bus as early as 6am in the morning, having fun in the school… all these are like old film, replaying in my mind now… I miss those days and I do miss you guys….. some of us are married, some of us are at overseas..

Hopefully,we will be able to gather one day and let our friendship continue…

Thanks again Facebook

My First Paid Wedding Assignment Back in September Year 2007. Click here to view at my previous website build on Multiply

Thanks to Mun Wah & Caley for their trust as their wedding photographer back in year 2007.

Below was the image captured and posted in my multiply website which represent my 1st paid wedding job. Before the assignment, I have captured 3 weddings by tag along sifu / master and of course, my mentor – Zung, ThePhotoz during his workshop . I still remember I was so nervous on that 1st assignment itself.

Times really fly…in between, a lot of things happen in my life, be it personal, work, relationship, family and photography path…. good or bad…..happiness or sadness ..including my setting up myweddingmomentz, receiving international membership of WPJA, AGWPJA, WPPI, PPA, receiving international wedding photography awards, shooting more than hundreds weddings assignment in year 2008…. of course also my downtime in my life during my divorce issue……….I am glad that I am still hanging there and my passion to wedding photography keep growing on every single assignment I do…..and I wanna keep this “fire” burning and feel hunger for wedding photography, desire to improve from every wedding assignment I do….I can do it….

Let me intro a bit on trash the dress concept:

Quote:

Source: Wikipedia

Trash the dress, also known as fearless bridal or rock the frock, is a style of wedding photography that contrasts elegant clothing with an environment in which it is out of place. It is generally shot in the style of fashion and glamour photography.Usually brides decide to have pictures taken on the beach, but other locations include city streets, rooftops, garbage dumps, fields, and abandoned buildings.Some sources claim that the trend was originally started in 2001 by Las Vegas wedding photographer John Michael Cooper^[1]. However, the idea of destroying a wedding dress has been used in Hollywood symbolically since at least October 1998 when Meg Cummings of the show Sunset Beach ran into the ocean in her wedding dress after her wedding was badly interrupted.A model often wears a ball gown, prom dress or wedding dress^[2], and may effectively ruin the dress in the process by getting it wet, dirty or in extreme circumstances tearing or destroying the garment. It may be done as an additional shoot after the wedding, almost as a declaration that the wedding is done and the dress will not be used again. It is seen as an alternative to storing the dress away, never to be seen again.

Know Racheal thru another couple 10 months ago. From time to time we do chat online for some crazy ideas on her wedding days including games and even trash the dress ideas sharing. And yes!!! lol she agree on my suggestion and best is we are doing it immediately after the tea ceremony, a real trash the dress concept !!

I met both Adrian and Racheal recently on my Australia Prewedding Trip for a quick drink. They are really nice and friendly, of course fun couple.. hope to see you again ya!!
