You gotta try it !
I have not met a couple whose life is more God centered than these 2.
Every time we go out, we ( wedding photographers ) touch peoples' life with our work.
Occasionally they touch ours.Guys...........I am impressed. Hmmm....it does makes me ponder about my life.
Both of them have large extended family and large group of friends too.
I couldn't recall any couple who managed to fill the entire church for their wedding like Sophia and Hung Hiang . In fact, I noticed there were shortage of places to sit.
Maybe because they made special arrangement for me so that I can move around the church easily.
;D. Its the coolest thing. I feel sooooo special. I wish other couples would that too. Thanks guys.
Yes, I really enjoy church weddings. In fact, I enjoyed it so much I think I will start a series of photos just on church weddings !

Well, it has finally happened.
Olympus announced a new standard for interchangeable lens camera that is really small and compact.
This is the camera that is the digital equivalent to the Rangefinder camera Leica that is so famous.
All along the technology is available , just that manufacturers are stuck in the mind set that consumers would only want simple Point and shoot cameras.
This is the camera that a lot of photographers would LOVE to have with them on casual shoots or on their vacation. We don't want to be ALWAYS carrying big and bulky gear with us. Regardless how much we love photography.
Olympus and Panasonic are the first 2 companies that have now announced this new standard. I should think there are more to come. But I am just delighted with this model from Olympus.
This is just a Mock up of what is to come. There is no functional camera as yet.
This HTC company is really amazing. It is very aggressive in pricing and in coming out with new design that meets consumers expectation.
Here is their up and coming HTC Touch HD.
Can you tell which phone rival it is targetted ?
Best of all, HTC Touch HD can "cut and paste" and support SMS forwarding.
Can't say the same for iPhone 3G.
HTC Touch HD can easily delete files via Activesyn, buy software from any vendor you like.
Add new batteries midway when you have a busy day running down the batteries .
It wouldn't try to connect 3G download behind your back.
I am getting this phone ! Absolutely :)
Every now and then, couples would ask me to recommend what camera to buy for their up and coming honeymoon.
So instead of answering them one by one, I would make recommendations here.
My all time favourite P&S ( point and shoot ) camera is the Fujifilm F11. But they don't make them any more. What's available now is the all new CANON G10.
Its 15megapixel ( who is counting ) and it has ........(drum rolls please )..........................
28mm wide angle and is Image stabilized.
When buying Point and Shoot camera, forget about the Megapixel. Because anything more than 5 megapixel is enough. So any camera out there now has enough megapixel. But pay attention to wide angle. 28mm is great but most are at 35mm and some at 38mm.
Don't let the salesman con you into thinking that telephoto is useful..........WOW it can zoom to 400mm , can see the cow across the field! But at such zoom, the image is usually unusable and you very seldom use it for vacation pictures.
What i really like about this camera is the size. Sometimes cameras can be TOO SMALL.
You can't quite get the grip on them. This one is just the right size. Can't tell you much else, ...well, Canon didn't send me a sample to test. ( hint hint )
This couple sent me a card telling me "we have engaged you............."
hey, i like this couple already :)
Can't wait to meet them
Fun, unconventional, laughter, warm, cozy, great food, excellent weather, breezy, great friends, good music, casual, relaxed.
Basically just a great way to celebrate LOVE .

Hi there, I am Tristine ( Tristine and Lionel ) and I have been invited to share my wedding preparations as a guest contributor.
I guess planning a wedding isn’t easy. It is an occasion where conflicts will definitely surface.
No matter what, mutual respect is important in the end of the day. Couples have to communicate and compromises will have to be made during this period.
For my wedding planning, I depended very much on the internet. I source most my stuffs through the Singapore Brides Forum. I got the wedding speech and itinerary from some of the brides and of course, only use them as reference. Planning the actual day itinerary itself made up the bulk of my preparations as I wanted to make sure that nothing goes wrong on that particular day. I met up with my brothers and sisters ( Groomsmen and bridesmaid ) a few times to go through the itinerary with them, amending various details whenever there is a need to.
Before I plan my itinerary, I had to decide what I am going to do on that day and how much time to cater to each. Always cater additional time for each event especially for the gate-crashing as you never know what the groom and his merrymen will have up their sleeves such as deliberately turning up late, hence timing plays a crucial role when come to my planning.
If a photosession is part of the itinerary, do let your photographer and videographer know in advance so that they can advise you where to go and whether time allows it or not. I am glad that Tommy has met up with us before our wedding to plan out the details and of course giving us advice on where to go after we told him our preferences.
Delegating roles according to each person's strength is important as I know that each individual can be trusted to get their jobs done. Since Rayson is always punctual, we delegated him as the time-keeper as to help keep track of the time according to our schedule. JJ and his wife, Erina were choosen to be our emcees of the night as they are both outspoken speakers. For Eric, he will liaise with our parents to make sure all the caterers were already at our places and assist Lionel accordingly. AMK who is jovial and responsible is choosen to be our coordinator. His responsibility is to ensure smooth running of the activities and arrangement. My sister accompanied me throughout the whole day, assisting me in changing of gowns and helping out at the reception table along with other bridesmaids (Jasmine and Jur).
One problem faced during our actual day is the timing for the bride to return home. I can only return home after 1pm hence Rayson had to help our videographer to bring the raw tape back to his home for editing so that the videographer was able to continue the shooting till the tea ceremony is over.
Although the actual day is rather packed, but with the help of the brothers and sisters, it makes our day a relaxed one. Even though there were last minute messages and calls from people who cannot make it to our dinner, Lionel and I need not worry as Joseph and Ivan helped us with the allocating of seats to ensure there is no empty seat in the table. We were glad that both of them made such good arrangement in the seatings.
Since the whole day event depends very much on the brother and sister gang so give them the authority to do the things and trust them as they will make your wedding a memorable one.
Introducing Art Canvas Prints.
Yes I am now offering Art Canvas Prints to my clients who sign up Wedding day packages.
I am very excited about this product as I have been searching high and low for them and now,
finally I have found the right mix of material, printing and framing.
Canvas prints has been around and many bridal studio in Singapore offers them.
However,
1) Resolution is not high enough, ie, you can't quite see details. Here I am able to find one that has very high resolution that can be equal to photographs.
2) Glossy coating that gives reflection. Here the art canvas has the quality that last and does not need that high gloss coating. Thre is no reflection at all. IT IS SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL.
3) Colour fastness was an issue with those old technology. My own wedding picture is now purple in color. ( I wan't in wedding back then ) These canvas prints were tested for colour fastness for 50 years ( accelerated UV test ). I MADE SURE that was the first criteria :)
4) Because there is no glass over the canvas prints, it must be able to withstanding cleaning. These canvas prints are suitable to be cleaned with a wet cloth.
See how beautiful these prints are ! Look at the extreme left picture and notice how there is absolutely no reflection.
I JUST LOVE THEM.
I have got to get me one of these :)
You can view pictures ( both jpeg and RAW format ). It does movie and mp3 and of course, store lots and lots of photos.
Comes handy as you can put it in a pouch, drop your CF memory in, transfer and then continue shooting more pictures or video.
It has the BEST LCD in the business. Nothing comes close
WOW
The low-temperature polysilicon (LTPS) TFT LCD displays 16,770k colors (200 ppi), supports SD/CF (Type II) cards and is equipped with two USB 2.0 ports. Users will have to wait only for 1.5 seconds to see a 10 megapixel JPEG file on the screen. Epson claims it takes a little more than 2 minutes to read data from an SD card with 1 GB storage.
Using Epson’s proprietary Photo Fine Premia technology, the company says users will be able to view photos from an angle of 80 degrees from all sides. When fully charged, users can watch three hours of video in MPEG4 on the P7000.
Epson will start selling the P7000 and a model with a 80GB HDD (P6000) worldwide next month. In Japan, the P7000 will be priced at a whopping $730, while the P6000 will retail for $550.
