Vanan + Shamini Traditional Indian Wedding Ceremony + Reception (Orchidville, Singapore)

Before you scroll down this section, do take note of the followings:- This wedding photography was covered by one wedding photographer (that's me, of course) and 4 wedding videographers (Merah In Motion) from Singapore. What you will see below are selected 181 images of my favourites which portray the whole wedding ceremony. This is a very challenging wedding ceremony (indeed). Why I say that? I start capturing the make-up session from 4PM and the wedding procession ended up in 3 other different places and yes, it ends at about 2:30AM in the morning. It seemed like it rained the whole evening! There were 2400 pictures has been taken for this wedding and I am faced with challenging lighting at the stage where the traditional indian wedding ceremony has been held.

What you will see below are many images which not many professionals who will be able to capture as this is another level of actual day wedding photography called "flash photography". This is not "point-and-shoot" type of photography. It is not as easy as it seemed but if you are a person who uses a DSLR, you will know what I meant after going through all these images. If you think "flash photography" is simple, then try it. This is a nightmare for 95% of wedding photographers out there in the market.

Photo Fusion

Wedding Photography is a fast growing industry, whereby any Tom, Dick and Harry can pick up a DSLR camera and self-proclaim themselves as "professional photographer". So much so, many of them has never used a 35mm film camera, let alone stepping into a dark room to develop Black and White film (which I used to do when I was in United States working part-time as photographer for our bi-monthly "The Volante" newspaper in the campus.

I first started with 35mm cameras in 1990 capturing concerts for Taiwanese singer who came to Malaysia to perform and have since migrated from various brand of cameras and models from Goko compact camera to Canon AE-1 to Canon Rebel 1000 and much later to Nikon N90s. I started with DSLR with a Fuji Finepix S2 Pro (which at that time was the best among Nikons or Canons for wedding photographer best DSLR when it comes to Auto White Balance). In fact, most professionals from Malaysia at one time used Fuji Finepix S3 Pro and S5 Pro. I have since couple months ago upgraded all my camera equipment to full frame cameras.

Here we are, in a world that moves faster than everyone ever thought possible, we have no choice but to adapt to new limitations and the term "Photo Fusion" has captured the hearts of many clients and will be on the leading edge of a trend that may possible change the face of wedding photography.

What is "Photo Fusion" exactly? I won't elaborate further on this but for clients who engages our full day services will experience photo fusion which will be the highlight of the day. I have experience this since last year and it has been encouraging but for the next couple months, it will be more interesting as we will include more equipment to perfect the whole "Photo Fusion" finished product. Till then, keep in touch everyone!

What A Great Year!

It has been a great year for me to end with 30 international award winning pictures with two (2) first placing in two different categories in ISPWP (International Society of Professional Wedding Photographers) based in United States.

Yes it has been a hectic year for me managing a few companies at the same time trying to make all my clients happy. I have made several changes to the way I handle my wedding photography business. Competition in this industry is irrelevant to me now and I live in my own world serving my potential clients and existing clients who has been supportive of me throughout my whole 18 years career in wedding photography.

I have made several improvements and I could see the response and one of the things I love most is:-

1. a big turnaround in my "wedding reception" or "slideshow" presentation;

2. the investment in equipment that I put in;

3. serving my ex-clients and giving them goodies! (well, find out more if you are my ex-client);
4. working and selecting a few professional photographers to work with me for clients who have enough budget for their wedding day (sometimes I bring my student photographer along for on-site assignments).
5. last but not the least, I love going "solo" for my photography job (for budgeted clients). This year alone, I manage to return approximately 1500 images (in average) in high resolution images back to my clients. Why keep it? Best of all, my rejected rate for all images taken for an actual wedding day is only 3%. Sharp, clear and manage to capture the moment, be it at the wedding ceremony, the church or temple and wedding reception.

I sincerely hope next year will be another great year, not just for me but for all readers who visit my web blog once a while. Thanks and wishing all of you a wonderful New Year in 2012. Adios!
