On the same day of S & K vs M & L, i shot another couple cause their camera broke down at the chapel, just a few shots here and there after the wedding.

After the wedding, they asked me how much would it cost for those shots, knowing me, i automatically shake my head and said it's FREE, and i said it's a courtesy service since it wasn't their fault that their camera broke down, i did asked them if they would like to buy one of the photography package though, tried but it didn't work haha.

So my boss came and ask me why was i photographing the couple and i told him their situation. He gave me a big smile saying ""Nice work!"...... i think he thought i was giving them free photo shoot as in the whole hundred over shots at the chapel! L o L

Few days back i got an email from the wife, thanking me for my help, or shall i say, for my services? She was so happy that I have helped them take some photos and not ruin their special day. But i replied asking who she was haha, in a joking manner.

Anyway, got another HUGE tip on Sunday, was called in to back the chapel up as someone accidentally double book weddings, and my boss was sick, not to mention the main minister called in sick too, was actually preparing for the worst. Me and the weekend photographer planned everything well on how to take care of couples but at the end of the day.....some couples came in late, and another one decided to reschedule for an unknown reason....phewww....so i took care of the last couple, one of my co-workers gave me the key to lock up and so i had all the time i want to photograph the last couple haha, hence the LARGE tip! She also asked me for extra services (out of the chapel) HELL YA I'll so it!!! It was so funny that all her kids, 5 of them each had a disposabla camera with them, so through out the whole wedding, you can hear them winding their cameras after each click, sad to say, i only thought them how to use the flash after the whole wedding =(

I was actually supppose to be doing my FIRST engagement shoot by the beach that very Sunday, but the weather on Saturday was so bad that i decided to call off the photo shoot, according the the weather channel, the weather was suppose to be as bad as Saturday, so the shoot is now postpone to Dec 7th!.........the weather on Sunday actually turn out much better than Saturday, hopefully, the rain tomorrow and the next few days will help ease the weather and all the haze!!


Thanks for reading my looooooooong arse story without photographs!

this Couple VS that Couple

Two Korean couples came in at the same time today, M & L was scheduled earlier but had miss their flight, they flew in from NYC they live in LA. K & S is from NYC but came in to get married here, so he can get the marriage license before he can have his BIG ceremony in NYC. Both the brides happen to rent the same dress, one couple is already married, just wanted to have their photographs taken. It was rather busy and confusing for me at first, but Daniel and I manage to help them with the whole plan.


I met M & L first, so i took them in with me since they are already passed their schedules photo shoot, i took them into the dressing and got them to change. Not knowing that K needed the same dress for their wedding, so i had to quickly conduct M & L's wedding so i would get the photos i want and need that's included in the photo package. bla bla bla and i concluded the wedding. (They were married once that's why i so-called conducted the ceremony). Then M quickly change so i can hand the dress over to K for her actual wedding!


Since L needed to have some guests for their ceremony, he invited K & S to their wedding, in return, M & L were guest of K & S's wedding. Both the grooms spoke in their language and worked things out to help each other. So the ceremony begin, instead of exchanging rings, K & S exchange matching watches! Apparently their designer friend got it for them, she was at present too, with her Nikon shooting away, it was said that she's a big time fashion designer in Korea? Anyway, so i continue with my routine, shooting during and after the wedding. Once i was done, i then went back to M & L to proceed with the shoot, since they bought a bigger photo package, that requires me to deliver more photos.



M & L vs S & K



M & L very really into each other when they kiss, there were times i had to turn away, and try to give them their privacy, every time i tell the mo kiss, they just went for it left and right, so lovely!! or is it yummy?! =P As for S & K, their kiss was barely opening their mouth, i guess the bride was shy hehe, but still ,they were lovingly kissing!


M & L came from NYC, but lives in LA. S & L lives in NYC, but they came in to LA for this.
Both the couples needed guests for their wedding, so they helped each other by attending each other's wedding ceremony, small and simple. Both brides rented the same dress, even though it was slightly bigger than their size, we made it happen perfectly.


While sending S & K off, K took out a HUGE tip and handed it to me with a big smile! He was just so happy and thankful of me helping them! This is the second time getting a tip from a couple, both same amount hehe.

Back to M & L, this is actually a special rush order by them, they wanted to print out pictures today itself so they an make a wedding album for tomorrow, so after the photo shoot, i sat down and talk to them a little to come out with a best solution, time was running out, the photo lab closes soon and i still had to do some post production while another wedding was about to start, who also required my services....i told them i can get it down latest by 10pm and even then, they offered to take me out for dinner after that. I told them other time would be better, my priority right now it to get their photos ready, so after i was down, i handed them the files for them to make their printing selection and off i headed for the next wedding, thank goodness they were late =p.


I have to say, it was really a fun day to work, although hectic and lil confusing, i had fun with both couples while shooting, they both have similarities and they both offered me something after the shoot! I gave them my contact, hoping to hear from them regarding their pictures and hopefully, i'll b able to "recruit" them for an engagement photo shoot for each couple!!! Times like this i would surely miss!



i wish i could post pictures of them here, maybe i will? (PICTURE POSTED)

Interesting day!

The chapel called me at 1230pm,asked if i can get in for the 3pm wedding, and they called again at 2pm to hopefully get me in ASAP for the 2pm wedding, thank goodness i was all set and ready to leave at that point. Traffic was good so i got to work in 15 minutes time. The wedding ended up starting half an hour later then i got in.....=/

I was kinda worried that the 2pm wedding would affect the 3pm wedding - which will be a Msian couple!!!

I sat through the Msian couple's wedding, took some pictures cause the weekend photographer finally came in. Had good chats with the guests after the wedding and the groom's mom invited me to their wedding dinner!! After the photo shoot was over, the groom realized that he left his car keys in his mom's bag who left a while ago. What a coincidence, that i was invited to the dinner, so i gave the couple a ride, pick my sis up and off we head to his home so they can change for the dinner. Small crowd, only two tables, very simple n family oriented, just the way i like it. Good food i have to say, yesterday i had two different instant noodles for dinner, and today i had countless course meal for dinner YUM YUM! On the way home, i dropped the couple off at the chapel after dinner so they can collect their car.

How interesting i initially wanted to photographer this couple but decided against it to join my mates (Videographer) for two different weddings which got canceled at the last minute....and the chapel called me in last minute today to shoot this couple.....wow, if it wasn't for this, i would be at home....trying to think what to cook, life's boring like that people.

Pretty soon I'll be collaborating with the groom's sis, who is a makeup artist for photo shoots that could help us build out portfolio!! Till then, more updates soon!

GOOD FOOD! ALL we Msian's here talk about is FOOD =)
