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.

Rabbit Coming, Tiger Going

Its already middle of January. The end of the Tiger year is bring some last minute fortune. Quite exhausted with covering 4 events and 2 side projects for Wediogelafer Dot Com but all is still good.

Emails have been pouring in from all over asking for FDC packages. Its looks a good sign for this year. Really hoping to secure more bookings before the Chinese new year. Bookings are always good. The clients and potentials are also a friendly bunch. Another bonus is that I just realised that I was able to make quite a number of good friends from these friendly bunch of people. We can never go wrong with making more friends.

Anyway, today will be one of the rare Saturdays I can sit back and enjoy a nice regular Chocolate Ice Blended at Coffee Bean. Cheers to that :)

What a way to start the 2011 fotogelafer year. 13th January 2011, I was at Malacca shooting for MSD Annual Dinner and Dance. Shooting pirates and pareos. Lovely hotel to be at; wish I more time to wander around but by the time I was done, it was almost 12am. Had to make my way back that night itself.

And on the 14th January 2011, I was surrounded by wizards, warlocks, witches and magical elements of Hogwart. I was covering for Kraft Foods Dinner and Dance. It was one of the more magical D&D I have attended. Very nice way for me to start the 2011.

What does our investment include?
Mainly you will get 2 crazy and trigger-happy photographers, DVDs filled captured memories (1000-1200 photographs) and a 3-5 minute slideshow. Sometimes, you may just get a little bit more than the above.

Do you provide hardcopy prints?
No, we do not provide prints to our clients but we do have contacts to do prints depending on the request.

For the slideshow of the morning session which is to be shown during dinner, can I use my own music?
Most definitely yes, we encourage our clients to choose their special music as this way the slideshow becomes a little more sentimental. We will do our to create a slideshow which will blend in with the music; however we have to keep in mind, that not every song will be able to portray the right moment nicely. Well of course if that happens, we will let you know when it just doesn’t have that ‘oomph’.

How long before we get our digital copies?
On average, 2-3 weeks. However if we are not able to deliver on time, we will notify our clients and ask for some time extension.

Yes, of course we do. However to keep things simple, we normally let the clients handle our transportation, accommodation and food during the whole course of the shoot.

We will take a 30% deposit upon confirm dates; otherwise, our dates are on first come first serve basis. Make them payable to 'FOTOGELAFER DOT COM'.

Actual Day Wedding - Regis & Joanne SDE

Creating this slideshow was a true challenge of focus and planning. We had only less than 1 hour to complete the slideshow which needs to be put up during the wedding luncheon. Straight after the church ceremony at St. Ignatius Church in Taman Mayang, I flew back to my place which is, according to Google Maps, around 9.8km distance. Took me a good 15 minutes to reach back home.

In an instant, the photographs were already plugged in and download was already on the way. Took almost 10 minutes to transfer close to 1,000 photos from my camera to my workstation. At that time it was already close to 11.25am and I haven't even started choosing the photographs. Once the photographs from my 5DMII finished transferred, I begin downloading the D700 photographs (Liew's Camera). While that was going on, I began selecting the photos.

As I reached 50 photos out of 100 to be selected, I realised that it was already close to 11.35am and I need to be back at the restaurant at 12 noon. Managed to go through 1,000 photos and select 105 photographs. Rendering and burning took another 10 minutes.

At that time I was ready to head back when suddenly ERROR came up the screen. I had to restart my comp, re-pick the selected photographs, insert the selected soundtrack, re-render and re-burn. But this time it got through. Looked at my watch and it was already 12.20pm. Well after all that hassle, I present to you the same day edit actual day wedding slideshow for Regis and Joanne. Enjoy~~!

Singapore Interest

As of late, FDC has been getting quite a number of inquiries from the Lion City (Singapore). We really hope we can draw more jobs from this lovely island country. Definitely more interesting to earn SGD than RM.

Heading down to Singapore tomorrow. Nights everyone.
