Yep! Great news! I did it again! Five (5) more additional awards added to my collection! I got the news of my latest achievement last week when I was in Bangkok and that was a great start for a New Year! Believe me, it wasn't easy to be part of this competition and only THE world's best images are selected to be Top 20 for each category. Thanks again everyone for your support!

Aaron + Stephanie Pre-Wedding

These are some of the selected images from Aaron + Stephy pre-wedding that I would like to share with you. I have more but I can't add in my web blog until their actual wedding day in July and of course, a few more amazing images which I will participate in the next international wedding photography competition.

Desert Rose King

Many of you might figure what is the picture doing in my web blog? Only a handful of you who do knows me very well that I am a flower lover but not just any flowers out there. I have grown "adenium obesum" and "abaricum" for many years and will get involve in cultivation of adenium flowers in Malaysia. In Malaysia we call this plant "Desert Rose" or "Fu Kui Hua" in Mandarin. We will have at least 2000 plants by middle of 2011 and more than 100 different hybrids. Will update you the new website of adenium by end of the year.

Turning a hobby into a business is something not many people will do. Being an entrepreneur settling in one business is never enough. Being a photographer myself, I have always push myself to the limits by taking more memorable photo for each and every wedding I attended and making sure that every wedding photo an "award winning pictures". This gives me the utmost satisfaction. I have told many photographers out there thinking capturing wedding photos are those who makes quick "bucks" and that is not what I wanted to do. It is the "satisfying feel " that what I wanted in life and each and everyone of us must enjoy what we do. If you don't, then move on and find something that makes your life happy!

I have been away for Chinese New Year holidays for the past 2 weeks and those 2 weeks has been an enriching week. I have learnt about "Effective Microorganisms" EM-1 and EM-A. On top of that, I had hands-on on "grafting" adeniums and learning how to use hand pollination. But no worry folks, wedding photography is still a part of me. I'm a person who kicks 3 balls with one leg. That's what I call "pushing myself to the limits". The sky is the limit and it is up to us what we want to achieve in life. I hope that what I written here will motivate some of you to do what you think you would like to do for business. But you must always remember that whatever you do for a living, money is comes second.

Happy Chinese New Year!!!

Dear everyone! It's the holiday fever again and I will be back from Bangkok on 24 February 2010. For those who e-mailed me and not receiving any response, I have to apologize but will get back to you soonest I can.

I wish everyone a great holiday and A Happy Chinese Year for 2010. May this year brings you plenty of wealth, health and prosperity. Year 2010 will be a busy year for me again and I will be travelling far. There will be great news coming along this year and I wish everyone a safe journey during this festive season. Take care!

York Wei + Daphne Wedding Day - Miri, Sarawak

This is actually my 1st trip to Miri, a small petroleum producing town in East of Malaysia, which is in Sawarak. This won't be the last one as I will have another wedding coming July, also in Miri. Daphne + York Wei got my services in Klang end of 2009 as York Wei is from Peninsular. Daphne is from Miri and has their church holy matrimony services in the church.

It was a lovely affair and the evening wedding reception was great. Lots of alcohol and great arabian dances (by pretty Malaysian ladies of course). :o)


























Yep! didn't managed to get a great shot out of this but managed to get an interesting expression from Daphne. Hehe...

Koo + Ellie Pre-Wedding

I guess all of you have seen the best of my works without much "hard editing". As I have wrote in my previous posting, I written about the meaning "photographer" and "photo editor". Once you have these two combine, you get amazing pictures but the whole concept about photography is no longer there if there's too much of editing involved. I am a pretty straight forward photographer who loves originality but in this posting, I am showing you something different from what I generally do. Check it out...

Bookings for 2011

How time really flies... Although the Year of Tiger (2010) wasn't a good year for marriage as what the old folks (chinese) believes, yet there are still couples who got married. This year there are a number of clashes as I have a number of enquiries on the same date. I have been booked way much earlier by other couples and it's first-come-first-serve basis. (see my "schedule" on this web blog).

This year I already have weddings in Bali (Indonesia), Singapore as well as East Malaysia (Sabah & Sarawak) and I could be busy flying here and there. So for those who wished to engage my services, do please book early.

Year 2011 bookings is now officially open and for those who is getting married in early January 2011, do please e-mail me at fotomalaysia@gmail.com or william@mwpstudio.com for an official quote. Thank you.
