Because I am lazy, I'll just bundle the wedding photo shoot as well as the photo selection post together-gether, save my time writing, your time reading thus everybody also happy-happy. Also, since there are no images since picture taking was strictly disallowed, there are a few stolen shot but they're with jacklyn. So I guess we'll just have to wait until every thing's ready from the studio before any sneak peeks.
Pre-requisite for the shootings:
For the guys, you'll have to bring along attires like black slack, socks, leather shoes, collared shirts of multiple variance, jeans and so on. The studio will basically provide you with just the coats, vests, tuxedos etc, etc.
April 19th, 2008 - Saturday - Photo shoot Day 1
The plan was to do shootings for 2 wedding gowns, 1 traditional costume, and finally the night shots from one in the afternoon onwards. I regretted not bringing anything along as I spent the initial 1 1/2 hours sitting there doing nothing, just staring at jacklyn getting her hair and make-up done. SIENS. I can tell you its not an easy job, one must have the ability to be super patient and at the same time pay attention to the finest details, to Yen, our stylist and make-up artist, I salute.
Mine was done in less than 15 minutes and the shooting begins, fortunately for us, we were the only couple having photo session on this day, lucky. Nothing out of the ordinary happened, in exception for the second costume where I was requested to wear some transparent shirt with a coat which I find really awkward hence decided to ask for something else. Don't you even date to start imagining anything. Oh ya, a lot of waiting since with every gown change, jacklyn needs to get her hair restyled.
We only managed to head out to Putrajaya late in the evening for the night shots due to the earlier thunderstorms. One thing I really don't understand is why still so humid and warm at night in Putrajaya, benci. Anyway, it was a fun though awkward (taking pictures in public at night) and tiring experience, you cannot imagine how happy I was hearing the words 'final shot' from Lucas, our photographer. Upon returning to the studio in Sunway, it was already 10 plus late into the night.
April 20th, 2008 - Sunday - Photo shoot Day 2
Started off with another make-up and styling session at 11 in the morning before heading out to some hutan rimba in TTDI for the outdoor shots in the afternoon. Oh, something different this time around because, there's Kim, our video man! Our tasks include squatting, sitting on stones and pebbles, shouting, running, giving piggybacks in which both of us fell, hiding behind bamboo shoots and leaves, fighting off insects, avoiding mud and pools of water and so on.
And all the while, I was sweating like a pig to the extend that the sweats were dripping off me OMG, I alone used up 2 packets of tissues. I was like a burst pipe. Oh the indescribable joy when the outdoor shootings were finally and we return to the studio. Around 3 plus in the late afternoon, it was finally a wrap, kau tim sau kung fan kau. It was time to go home, my jaws felt as though they were gonna lock and my bones nearly crumbled. At last, the ordeal is over.
April 27th, 2008 - Sunday - Photo Selection
Started at 1 in the afternoon and lasted close to 2 hours, ended up paying extra for 8 additional photographs, no thanks to Lucas who took so many excellent shots that we felt were a pity not to include in our album. Actually, we were pretty anxious initially, fearing the photos not turning out well, the journey to the studio was clouded in silence. Choosing 60 out of 240 something, if I'm not mistaken, is much, much harder than anyone can think of. Now we'll have to wait for another month or so before all the designing and photoshop-ing is done.
