Well, coming back to real life where most if not all these works and coordination works are carried out by none other than your faithful photographer. In malaysia sometimes, its called ‘Hey Cameraman’. gosh…

The most we have is a make-up artist that carries a whole set of portable make-up kit plus lots and lots of tissues (2 ply) and if budget allows 1 more additional photographer’s assistant aka ‘Ah Chong’. So the pressure is really HIGH to produce a master piece to say the least. Lets face it, the shoot is normally scheduled for 3 days and most maybe 5 days, also with the ever changing climate system it is really not easy to predict it. If Apollo (God of the Sun) is shining upon you, blue skies, white clouds, colorful sunsets are almost guaranteed but otherwise grey all the way.

So as a photographer or Photo Artist, we have to determine the right time, right place, and the right everything to make the shot. We are the sole whole crew which has to plan and do everything from A to Z and hopefully our faithful star-actor and actress aka the couple can play their role with minimal NG.

The result – A scene to remember. Years later, you can still take out your album from the closet or underneath the bed, brush off the dust, browse through the photos, taking yourself down memory lane, remembering the shoot, feeling the atmosphere, the laughs, the sweats, the breeze, the smell, the shouting blah blah blah…

Now is that worth??

With our wedding preparations kicking off to high gear now, we went to Armadale to tryout some gowns. Its ironic I used to take other humans’ pre-wedding all the time but now its my own turn. Now I can really feel the pressure in all the preparations needed to make the shoot a success, which I don’t see when I was the photographer for other people.

Anyway these are some of lisher’s choices of gowns (courtesy by Armadale). Hope you like them as we did

Tell me which one you like best ok?
