love conquer's all

After shooting so many weddings, and gone through my own wedding; inside out, I can say that today, weddings are all about how 'beautiful' it will look on the wedding day itself. pretty much details upon details are being put in until the overall are actually overwhelm the couple and the wedding committees... we had focused on the decor, the costume and dresses, make up and hair, all these actually stress out the couples and relatives - it is a really hair pulling stress.. been there done that.

But at the end of the day, when the dust settle down, things slowly fold back in, that is when the reality kick in.. staying at the in law's put further pressure and thus the 'impress mode' is always on.. and the couple had to be on guard on their toes at all time..

That is why on almost every wedding we can see a verse "Love conquer's all" It is actually the ultimatum. Nothing more that that. It is the love between the couple that will conquer any adversity. Your spouse as your ultimate support system; you can't get it wrong.

I can sense the love between these two love bird. Effortlessly they compliment each other in anyways.. the way they crack up on each other joke is really something.. love conquer's all..

I'm back and life goes on

The last time i posted photos and my notion was seven month ago. Not that I had hit the jack pot and stop my photography nor did I hit rock bottom and had to sell off my camera and lenses etc.
I was relocated to KK and things was at a nimble at one time with things moving really fast with the new place, the new environment and adapting being alone here away from my love ones really knocked the wind out of me. Even heroes had a rainy day so does average guy like me.. hah!
So setting a foot on the ground I had to dig deep and start again. Yes folk! I am back.
The following shoots was one of the marvelous wedding that I shoot early Feb.I enjoyed every bit of it!








One of the highlight that day.. herbie's 2nd cuz!

One for the album.

2011

Year Two Thousand and Eleven. One of my new year resolution is stop forgetting my battery charger and battery at hotels. I lose 2 last year.. charger and the battery. dang!

I'd kick start the new year with a wedding day shoot which reminded me off what I really enjoy doing. Not only snapping all the way but be part of the wedding itself. Enjoyed the atmosphere; the sincerity of the emotions shown, the concerned part of the family members and friends to make the wedding a smooth running. All attendee gave their encouraging smiles when the couple march in. Wedding suppose to be that way. All this makes my little hobby more authentic. It become easier to capture all the emotions, expression, the spontaneous gesture..
Below is a preview of the 1st day of 2011. Full posting shall follows.. Congrates!Not forgetting Happy New Year all!

revisit II

Sometimes you are up, and there are times that you are down.. Well, you are still at earth and not in heaven; there is always hardship on earth, but still there is laughter, and joy.. therefore i am grateful having a wonderful and beautiful family that support me all times in everything that i do.. i am always grateful having a simple life although currently life is frantic moonlighting as a photographer..
Although the day job is started to creeping up on me, previously i have learned that to drop all work pressure and divert it by doing sumthing that you like.. that's why i have started to revisit the photos and edit some of the old photos that i ve taken.. drop it off and do sumthing that you like.. live life to the fullest..

revisit

I almost discard this image because their friend was just behind them when i shoot. Then the shutter was a bit too slow. But then a little bit of cloning and clean up I manage to slavage the photo. Will update the full monty in a flash. Till then happy post gawai & have a good long holiday to all!

hoffman & debbie_outdoor session

Would you believe it that we almost half way through 2010. I hope you guys had achieved at least almost 50% of your new year's resolution. Nevertheless, 29 days to World Cup 2010 South Africa! Hey, I am looking forward for watching it via HD thanks to Astro!

The following was a closed outdoor session we had at eastwood golf course. I was very thrilled when debbie emailed me on doing their outdoor session and had it on the slide for their wedding day. Would I missed it, of course not.

Fulfill your dream

I was moved when my ex-boss suddenly text me a quote by Dato Tony Fernandez. " Get the best people and let them grow. Let them fulfill their dreams. Help them discover potential they never thought they had. People are our best asset." All the best to you boss..

Here's a pre wedding shoot that i shoot recently at Eastwood Miri.Till then,
Have a good week end! Go on and fulfill your dream. what ever that is..
