Wedding of Maverick & Sandy

Tearful bride leaving Uncle Toh.

This is a true blue journalistic shot that i always love about weddings.

Quiet moments.
The only thing that bother me about this shot is that her gown made her look 'bloated'.

But such fleeting moments are so precious, it's probably not going to affect me that much.

Bouquet toss.

This picture would really be captivating if we have the blue skies couped with brillant colour of the west.

But as it is, i think this one worked for me now. Just that i didn't take notice of the distracting foliage on the bottom right.

Earlier this month, i got the privilege to witness and document the customary wedding of Maverick & Sandy. I have been known the bride's family for quite some time now and her brother Stanley has been my best and most supportive friend for 18 years. To date, i think this must be the most heart-warming wedding i have been to. It's definitely a whole lot different meaning, seeing so many people you known for so long, break in joyful tears.

I think some of my clients must be quite concerned by now. Okay, i am still alive. Just really busy with work. Will be posting a few set of pictures soon. Yeah.. soon.

Well there's been alot things going through lately. First i am partially working for a relative, and also having the privilege of also shooting for 39 East. I think there is so much to learn and i am just so happy to find a great guy to assist to. Now my mind is constantly filled with informations from all around. Someone just complained that i always fell asleep in church. The Lord said, 'For he who is without sin, let he be the first one to cast the stone.' Well, for the benefit of non-God believing, non-bible reading people, they all walk away.

Assisting Kuang is perhaps one of the milestone step in my wedding photography. Whether it's business or technical. My pictures, though not getting better yet, are getting more consistent. hmmm... more consistent means better right? Oh well, there's probably a difference but i just can't say how and what. And soon, i hope i will be getting new body to work with. I still love my old body, but it's getting too slow. The fact that i have to use ISO 800 max and still having just f1.4 / 1/20s has been ignored for too long. Well, I like to live with the fact that i could use a technically inclined D70 for so long and still make great shots. Okay, my current mentor makes it bluntly that he thinks i am broke. Well. Okay. I was, and probably will be for awhile. Anyways, there are some talks going on with how this whole assisting thing will turn out to be.. Keeping everything open till something more concrete is finalised. Probably will take quite awhile, that is.

Well, just finishing a shooting a wedding in JB Hyatt on Saturday. I kind of pull through. Made some great shots and I think they will be really happy with the shots. So it's not bothering me so much now. But, i will be looking at the D300... or the much appraised S5pro, which Gabriel is using.
