Wai Ping & Lloyd

Wai Ping & Lloyd first came to me because they wanted something different, something thematic if possible …… and so here I was, agreeing to be their photographer for their photo shoot. I was initially skeptical at first, as I have been shooting this ‘editorial’ styled pre wedding genre for quite some time, but decided to rise up to the occasion. Why not? Not only will it be challenging, but fun! Together, I assembled some of my friends and roped in Tommy Yap, a hobbyist photographer focusing on CLS and underwater photography just for the heck of it.

On a bright early April morning in 2009 , we drove in a convoy of 2 cars, together with their appointed Make Up Artist (MUA for short) , Ally Choong, right up to Penang stopping by Ipoh for a delicious lunch of Ipoh Kway Teow. Our choice location of shoot was The Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion, more commonly known as The Blue Mansion and I do believe that had actually set the mood  for the entire shoot. Here are some of the results from Penang;

The Lord of the Manor - waits for his Lady

The Lady of The Manor - Hiding In The Shadows

The Lord of the Manor - Looking for Time

The Lord and Lady of the Manor - Looking Out for their Coachman

The Lord and Lady of the Manor - Sharing a quiet moment

As this was my first pre wedding shoot using my new Nikon D3X, I decided to try a new photo technique  shooting Wai Ping & Lloyd…. and it was not easy. Wai Ping & Lloyd had to hold their poses for at least a few minutes as I tried to sort out the technicalities! I will definitely be looking at refining this new technique ….. look out for more pictures soon! And of course, they bribed me with another round of the famous Ipoh Kway Teow on the way back to KL! But the Ipoh Kway Teow was sure worth it ……..
