Tattoo artist parents + newborn { conceptual newborn portrait }

Summary: When my client arrived with her newborn baby boy, I knew she’s a tattoo artist but did not knew her husband too is a very popular tattoo artist. How cool is that ! My mind is running wild with ideas having two tattoo artist parent at my studio doorsteps. They were very keen in sharing their ideas too and fun to work with. This has to be one of the coolest newborn photoshoot I’ve done. I’ve also discovered they are both very popular with many fans following them in their Facebook page. I’ve always fascinates with tattoo artist dedication to their art, probably we’re all creating something that is not only to the likes for our clients but something uniquely our arts. Here’s some sneak peek to some of the shots taken that day.

Sarah + David { wedding reception }

The lovely couple asked me a favour for some of their profile shoot before their reception starts. When I knew they are musicians from Britain that travel with their orchestra members around the world for performances, I am honoured to be their official photographer on this important night to them, especially to Sarah. It was a night specially dedicated to the remembrance of her late dad by flying all the way from Britain and to host their wedding reception here with relatives that still lives in Malaysia. I especially love the part they perform wholeheartedly in front of their relatives members. It’s one of the most beautiful music pieces I’ve heard live. It’s a beautiful night and I truly enjoyed it too.

 

One fine day with Yati’s family { Family portrait – outdoor theme }

I love outdoor shooting ! When Yati called us for her family portrait at outdoor, I’m thrilled. I love shooting for Malay’s family because there’s something about them attracted me. I guess it’s their quality of kind hearted and humble personality from my encounter experiences. Especially their children seem to be more obedient and polite compare to other children I’ve encountered. It’s their culture I guess. Beautiful lighting goes to people willing to be with the photographer in the early morning : )

Summary: When I was called on the job, Dee asked she needed someone to take her family portrait urgently before going back to their Australia home.  In our line of duty, we gladly accepted the challenges despite the short notice. Emily, her daughter soon find the luxury of toys at our studio and that’s the key to her smile in the photos we are blessed with. One of the best moment we’ve spend with and definitely on our list of the nicest clients : )

Joy Lee + Edwin Cheang { Actual wedding day }

Summary: One high school mates reunion dinner, which was long overdue for 20 years since our graduation, kept us busy this past 2 years keeping in touch with one another and now to cover one of my high school mates of her big wedding day. Throughout the day, I felt not just photographer but more of an important friend to her and making sure all of the beautiful details of this very special day of hers are all exquisitely fine captured. The pressure felt on my shoulder definitely more than the weight of both my cameras but all in a good way and a definitely meaningful portfolio to our work !

Max & Leo twins portrait {Children & family portrait}

Summary: Meet Max and Leo ! I remembered when their mom Gloria engaging us of the photo session service for her baby twin, I can’t wait to see them. They are such adorable character though a little impatient when they’re hungry. One interesting point is they need to be fed before the photo shoot starts. This went on a couple of times during the photo shoot session. Now I understand where they get hulk-shape muscles compare to other kids I’ve photo shoot in the past. Such a wonderful time spend with them !

Mei Ling + Duncan {ROM + Actual wedding day}

Summary: Meet Mei Ling and Duncan, absolutely most adorable couple I’ve met so far. The first time we met over at our studio, it was to my surprise how close Mei Ling stay. It’s 5 minute walk from her place to my studio. I was truly honoured over their appraisal of my work after their research of many photographer’s work on wedding photos. It was a beautiful wedding ceremony held a club house with open barbecue concept. My pride being their official photographer for their big day went above the cloud when I received so many kind appraisal comments on my work with their ROM photos. You have no idea how much that meant to me , to have immediate praising of your work being their chosen photographer on their big day.

P.S. Thanks to the bride/groom couple even brought me a bottle of red wine (Spain) in appreciation of my work that night
