About the Fotogelafer

Welcome to Fotogelafer.com. I am Wan Cheng Huat AKA the Fotogelafer. Here is a short write up about how photography came into my life.

All my life, I can say that I have always been attuned with art. When I was much younger, I loved to draw. How did I know that? Well, I never could stop picking up a pen or a pencil to start imprinting what I saw. Drawing became a part of my life. As years pass me by, I soon realized that my ‘addiction’ actually soothes me, my feelings, my emotions and most of all my soul.

When I turned 16, I decided to join my school’s photography club and loved it almost instantly. Photography, in many ways, was and still is similar with drawing; instead of capturing images with my pen or pencil, I am now able to capture them with my camera.

I was overwhelmed with enthusiasm and learnt all I could from wherever I could. I remember reading through all the Reader's Digest I could get to obtain photography tips which were usually the advertisements of Kodak or Canon or Fujifilm. At that time, it was my only source where I could learn about shutter speed, aperture settings and how to play around to get my intended effects. Even now, after over 10 years, I still keep those files which still have those Reader's Digest pages.

I could remember the moment when I first picked up a camera; I knew that there was no turning back. Cameras and films were my new tools to express my new found identity.

But as time pass, technology became more advance and soon enough photography became digital. Only after 10 years, I finally abandon film photography; as it became more and more expensive and obsolete. However, I will cherish all those negatives which are now lying in my dry box. Nothing can replace them.

Enjoy my photographs.

Pre Wedding - Lawrence and Sarah

Pre Wedding shoot for Lawrence and Sarah. We did a 2 venue shoot; one was at the Palace of the Golden Horses and one more was at The Hill. I was never really good at pre weddings, but this is my renewed effort. Hope you all like it. Cheers.

Wedding Day - Eddie & Uma

This wedding was held in Johor Bahru. A union love story of a JB guy with a KL gal. From the little chat I had with the bride, I got to know how much they gone through to be together. Such a wonderful story.
The wedding ceremony was held at The Church of the Immaculate Conception. It was beautiful inside. It was even more beautiful when the new bride was with her new groom. United at last.
With just 3 hours, I rushed back to the hotel to start with the slideshow rendering. Hope on a taxi and we were off. I was lucky I am in JB and the taxi here are really aggressively fast to get you to one spot. Managed to finish up the slideshow in just below 2 hours without any edits. Enjoy the slideshow.

Congratulation to you both again :)

Wedding Day - Victor & Lee Ling

This wedding is by far with the biggest group of hengdais and jimuis. Up to 15 cars made up the convoy; comprising of Vellfires, Lexus, Mercedes and BMWs.
Every moment was a happy fun moment with this crazy bunch of guys. Groom was very sporting and entertaining. The girls were equally as responsive. If only every morning sessions were such fun :)
Its not as it seems.
ROM and  Wedding reception took place at the Cyberview Lodge Resort. Was a very nice place with a lot of beautiful façades, great for photoshoots.


Although it did rain a little, it did not dampen the happy atmosphere of the celebration.


Overall, a very beautiful event to be remembered. Congratulations to Victor and Lee Ling :)

ROM - Lawrence & Sarah

Very excited with Lawrence and Sarah's wedding date. Much has been done and a lot could not be shared until the wedding day has pass. One of the biggest wedding we are covering this year. Almost 90 tables.


For their ROM, we tried something experimental. Trying to incorporate more video into our photo slideshows. Instead of just boring transitions, we are thinking of new creative ways to spice things up for the dinner guests.


Here is our 5th and final attempt for their ROM video. Enjoy

ROM - Lawrence and Sarah

Definitely we will be trying something similar on their actual day.
