Wedding Photography Secrets - The Workshop by TOPCAT!!!
Finally! We're rolling out our first Wedding Photography workshop here! We've been asked many times to hold wedding photographers' workshops, but honestly 2010 is like, zooming past us so fast, we hardly have time to add anything else to our schedule. So we decided to START EARLY in 2011!
8th & 9th January 2011.
With 20 over years of experience in photographing weddings (yes, we started way back in the 80's!...and do stop guessing the age!), we feel it's right to share our experiences, our ups and downs and all the "selok belok" of a wedding photographer here in Malaysia.
Knowledge gained and knowledge not shared is knowledge lost....so we're gonna give you everything!
Malaysia is unique. Our story is unique. Our experiences, some pretty amusing, and the rest, we trust will value add and enrich your lives as a wedding photographer.

Check out the link attached for more details. Don't miss this one. It might be awhile before the second one takes place! We truly believe in providing quality workshops, so we practically drop everything else just to prepare for our workshops.
There will be lots of sharing (from how we started to how part timers should market themselves, staying relevant in the industry, royalty protocols in weddings etc), video tutorials, bridal shooting session (yes, complete with bridal gowns), how we create our albums, editing, etc etc...lots more! Infact, we're still packing in more for this workshop!

Weddings Over The Weekend
It's June already!!! 2010 still feel new to me! What happened to all those months?! Maybe 'cos we've been keeping ourselves busy with studio shoots, outdoor portraits, workshops and weddings! Ah! Weddings! End of May has been packed with weddings. I always love weddings, especially when we know the couple and the families so well.
HANY & IMAN
This is the wedding of Hany & Iman - marriage solemnised on May 27th. We had covered Hany's sister's (Nina & Azmir) wedding about 3 years ago (time sure flies). They're like family friends - well, they're Hokkien and speak pure Penang hokkien, which is exactly my dialect :)). Congrats to Hany & Iman on their marriage and we wish them lots of love in this next chapter of their lives.
Iman - looking cool after the Nikah!

...future sis-in-law got the bouquet!
ELY & LUDO
The moment they both have been waiting for...May 28th was their Akad Nikah (solemnisation) held in picturesque Cyberview Lodge Resort. Ludo's family from France (an entourage of about 30+ !) had flown specially in to witness this ceremony and share the couple's joy. (I forgot to ask if Ludo flew the plane himself, cos he's a pilot with Air France! Maybe I will later, if I remember!) Even as I'm tapping away on my keyboard, the families are now basking in the warm (hot) sun in Pulau Perhentian - yes, all 30+ of them are there now on holiday! Have fun, y'all!
Ludo with his family from France posing for a shot before the Nikah ceremony.
Ely with mum-in-law after the ceremony.
...and they danced, so full of happiness!
Happy families @ their Dinner Reception.
Heartiest congratulations to you both, as you start your new lives together in France!
