My Story 

One day, I receive a call from Winon asking to meet up for prewedding discussion. So, I set up the appointment after my 1st ever experience sharing on Canon 5D mark 2 at Mid Valley invited by Zung. I still remember we were sitting at La Vanilla restaurant and in the mid of discussion, Zung came over and told them, “ohh you are Edwin’s client? yes, pls engage him! ” hahaha.. and that time, Winon told me… “hey, we are looking for a photographer who can capture our wedding start from ROM , Prewedding and until Actual Wedding Day”….. I was like.. hmm okok, we shall see…..so, days later, they confirm my service on ROM and would wanna see how it goes before engaging me for their prewedding and actual wedding day photographer…. and days before their ROM, I received call that Winon would like to do a surprise proposal at Bijou.

Proposal

yes, while Winon and Yiwen enjoying their dinner in the restaurant, videographer, decorators and myself already waited outside for almost 2 hours.. hahaha ok la, i think it is only like an hour .. but but but.. it was dark and cold outside with all those mosquito ! , well, it was my first experience on shooting proposal. It was kinda challenging for me that time given everything happen so fast after they return to the restaurant. We have less than 15mins to get the place ready … Click here for the posting on the proposal

ROM

Another special event where Winon and Yi Wen selected their home for their registration of marriage. The event was held on 3rd floor garden balcony. Click here for the posting on their ROM

Prewedding and Wedding Ceremony at France

A ten days journey begin after so much of discussion and preparation, they are already travelling to some European countries before we depart from Malaysia and  we were meeting them in Santorini itself. It was my first Europe Prewedding assignment and we traveled from Malaysia-London-Athen-Santorini-Nante-Paris-London-Malaysia. Click here for the posting details.

A good number of images were submitted to WPPI/ AGWPJA/ WPJA/ IPA which return with multiple awards and some images were featured in both local and international magazines. Let me share with you here some of the images and click here for the awards details. Thank for giving us the unforgettable memories and experience…..the fun that we had, the travel… the time we spend.. all these memories will certainly last for a life time for me…

oh yes, not forgetting Winon and YiWen also won a prize from The Star with the image I captured for them during the engagement portraiture in Nante, France.

Actual Day

Before the actual wedding day, we still keep in touched, mostly in facebook hahaha and ya.. the BBQ section at your place..the coffee tasting..the surprise birthday party for Agnes and our VIE Gallery opening!

So, here are some of the images on the SDE (Same Day Edit)

It is not easy for someone to make the decision and assign a person to be as their as photographer to capture the moment from the day one Proposal , ROM, Prewedding and until Actual Wedding Day. I would like to express my appreciation on entrusting me as your photographer and treasure our friendship a lot. Beside, I do appreciate your ” thank you speech”  during the wedding dinner itself when you address me as your friend instead of photographer….it is one of the happiest moments for me… really…..

So, shall I continue to be your photographer and friend to witness for your honeymoon, maternity, new born child, birthday celebration and dont forget your new factories opening and annual dinner, my friends? hahahahahah…

Thank you… Winon and YiWen and wish you two a happy ever after !

Quote from Wikipedia on the city that we went : Nantes (Breton: Naoned, Gallo: Naunnt) is a city in western France, located on the Loire River, 50 km (31 mi) from the Atlantic coast.^[1] The city is the sixth largest in France.

The first time when Winon and Yiwen told us about the place where he stay during his student exchange program during his teenager time, Nante and showing us the famous castle Mont Saint-Michel, I already start dreaming about  the place….castle…in my childhood, it always link with dragon, prince, hahaha, thinking too much.. oh well… finally, after travel from Santorini, Athen, Paris with more than 10 hours waiting time and flight, we touched down at Nante Airport. Winon’s host parents and his lovely family already waiting at the arrival hall.

When we reach at the farm, it was already late evening, the weather was so cold and after dinner with sparking wine juice & casual chat, Roland- Winon’s host parent chase all of them to bed and start the briefing to me on the following day exciting french wedding event that they arrange for Winon and Yiwen. His host parent are very friendly and totally different from what we experience at Paris Airport. After listen to their briefing, I was so touched on their effort and arrangement and cant wait for the following day to come…

The next morning, I woke up kinda early before everyone (except for Winon’s host parents who already busy preparing for the day.. oh ya, and of course, our couple hahaha, they started the makeup way before the sunrise..) and heading toward  the farm area for some casual shooting..too excited for the farm stay and the event of the day..

ya.. the geese.. dont mess around with them…they are doing good job guarding the farm as good as dogs.. even the sheep are scare of them hahahahaha

stay tuned for more photos…

love is in the air

Few days before Winon’s ROM, I received his call asking me if I am free on one of the evening for his wedding proposal shooting. He told me he want to complete the whole process and do it before the ROM and it will be a surprise for YiWen. On that evening, I reach to Bijou around 8.30pm and almost head on with them as they are just arrived too. I gave a call to the wedding planner and seems that they are standby at the side of the restaurant with all the deco and balloons. We waited outside till they finish the dinner and drove off. 15mins were given for us to deco the place after they left and we standby at the position… When they are finally back..the story begin………
