When an Italian met a Chinese, the story become more beautiful and extraordinary. Silva the handsome Italian wed Sophine the air stewardess based Hong Kong last month in Kuala Lumpur, where Sophine is originally from. I have met with Sophine couple of time prior to her wedding. She is a nice girl to talk to, charming and easy-going. Silva is smart, that is the first impression to me when I met him few days before the wedding. I love photographing them because they are fun people! A lot of laughter just being with them, you really can’t missed it.
What is beautiful about cross racial wedding like this, the Italian are curious about the chinese tradition and they want to participate too even thou they do not really understand about it. I told one of their friend saying we chinese are noisy. “We Italian too! :D So now is very noisy!” What a joyful day.
That day, I also had Leanne Lee who helped me. She is really good! No kid. By judging the gears she has, she definitely a professional! Of course, her works are impressive too. Glad that I have her with me that day, lighten me many ways. :D
Here goes some of the photos.
She is preparing the stuff for the guys to wear. A chinese way, not to let the groom come to get the bride as easy, they must go through some obstacles and barriers set by the brides mate. A ‘scary’ part.
The guys were trying to force fully pushing in, and the girls were blocking hard!
Daddy was the famous celebrity that day! Really. See he is lucky.
This boy was asked to kiss Sophine, but he is shy, so he joke.
This is my favourite of all.
We had a few moment for portrait before we call the morning session off, around the hotel.
The guests were enjoying the slideshow.
As chinese wedding, a lot of ‘Yum Seng’ were going on!
Mission Status : Accomplished with Great Success!
Yes, ShootFest 001 has finally done and over. I am glad that I have attended it. I met a lot of friends, some new some old. Of course not to left out is some twitter-pals. (Follow me here). During the two days I have learnt a lot from those sharing session. It benefits me not only as a photographer, but also as a person. I can not thank you enough for those who share, not forgetting Alex and Grace from Integricity who initiated this ShootFest.
Let’s see some photos now
I totally love Kenneth’s tee.
That’s what Unconference about, relax and lay back.
There’s a wall for participant to have their photos printed in 4”X6” and showcase. There were more photos after that, I snapped this early on the first day. I got two up there, pretty obvious?
Two session going on concurrently. Some people wished they can split to attend both.
See more photos here at my Facebook.
Zach Chin setup a ‘Crazy Photo Booth’ on the last day, so participant can have photos taken, crazily in a way. Some photos are deadly creative and fun! Check this out.
The two supermen, Jason and Ian wore same tee that day. Both jokers definitely brighten up ShootFest very much with them being themselves. Check out what I mean below.
Jon wanna show he is taller than me. he did try very hard. ;p
Zach took this with my head cropped. argh… you will get it next time Zach. LOL. Oh, that’s Grace! Don’t despite her tiny size tell ya’ll, she has got big heart and great capacity!
Adrian and Joshua. See the jump. Salute.
My favourites of lots! That Fiona of Fifoto and Jon. Oscar award! ;p
Now for some photographers out there who didn’t come, regret? hehe…
If you were following me, you may notice I tweeted about my anticipation for this wedding. Because as far as I knew, it is something quite happening.
David and Shirley, whom I shot their engagement (which I didn’t blog about it, very much) last year, are really two very special individual. They are passionate, lovely, cheerful, smart and charming! They can really laugh, really. As a friend, I offered my service to them, to photograph their wedding. (No is not free! Just… a way we worked it out ;p ) They had actually engaged another photographer, but I believe nobody can resist if having more beautiful photos. lol.
The Holy Matrimony was the biggest in City Harvest Church, I believe. Is just like another weekend services, congregation almost filled up all the space. It was touching, lovely and romantic too. David and Shirley are really amazing in details. Everything seems, perfect! Apart of the running time, which I don’t think anyone could escape that.
During the dinner reception, it’s not just another banquet. There’s two part of it, business and wedding. Selling products and the wedding itself. Now many may have said, why on earth you just can’t let go the business for one day, on the wedding day? Well, I have no comment. But I kinda buy the idea. Certainly the guest list is huge, that means many prospects, and that’s why. But is not just that, I think David’s product is some very good stuff too. He just want to share the good news to everyone :) Best thing is, there’s lucky draw that night. The grant prize is nothing cheap, a Okamizu worth more than RM2,000! I really prayed I get that. Oh well, at least SharonT has got two free gift from that night. lol.
Here’s some of highlights.
Flower on the chair/bench has became my standard procedure for flower shot. Oops, I shall get rid of that for the next wedding!
The yummylicious light! Oh by the way, these are the best men :)
One light, two settings.
Alethea Min Yee *cute*
The list, is God-sent! All brides should have a list for everything! And the Ang Pau, is blessing, of course. :)
The handsome ride. argh… I jealous.
This is thru the viewfinder of a viewcam. I can’t explain how it happen, it just happened. (maybe something to do with the refresh rate or so of the electronic viewfinder)
AH! MJ in da house!
This girl is totally cute :)
