See you, next February!

Ok, begini.. After reading his photography blog..as he officially announced that he wont be around taking photo next year.

aku macam terkejut, walaupun when we first met dia dah bagitau but he can still cover my wedding. sebab wedding aku february,

february bila? hmmmmm

jadi, sebagai customer yang kepochi, aku email him. ask..

"is it true, u wont be around next yr? so xdapatla i merasa u tngkp my wedding photo..." ayat nak sedih je hujung-hujung tu.

dengan pantas die reply. consider pantas, kurang dari sejam. wohoho..

"Eh i ade la till April, def. will be at your wedding :D"

ok macik suka...reply balik "lega..."

so, i really hope i'll be meeting u. next year february. insyaAllah.

Photog ku....

im so excited. hehe. and wish to share with everybody in details. tapi selagi belum confirm, nanti dululah..

We went to old town bangi straight after work today. meeting him. orangnya simple, and bolehlah layan berborak. aku lah pun yang banyak bercakap and bertanya. MF sebelah tak banyak cakap sangat, biasalah orang lelaki.. kalau lelaki mulut cam itik pun susah jugak. ok, aku memang tak suka type macam tu...thats y MF jadi pilihan aku. tak banyak sangat cakap...cakap bila perlu, dan tak membebel tak tentu hala... hahaha!

and boleh layan aku mengarut.aku kalau dah mengarut payah nak berhenti.tapi kalau MF start mengarut, pening gak kepala dibuatnya..agaknya ni lah yang die rasa selama ni dgn aku. hahaha.

ok, dah lari-lari anak meninggalkan topik asal. :P

he came from Sri Petaling to meet us at bangi, which is aku consider sebagai good effort jugak. siapa tak sukakan kalau orang tu datang dekat kita..hampir 2 jam jugaklah discuss itu ini. dia tunjukkan sample, whatever he got. memang..memang..memang ni yang aku cari... ;)

what he offer pun still within my budget. and reasonable..

so i made my mind. and insyaAllah MF juga berfikiran yang sama..

"eh, sayanglah..kenapa tak amek shutterspk untuk semua event..gambar cantik-cantik...sayang..tapi sayang...sayang..."

jawabku.. "kalau sayang, takpe..hajat tu anda boleh simpan untuk majlis anda nanti ok??"

so lepas ni, jangan lagi ada yang bertanya, kenapa bukan shutterspk untuk semua event. jawapan aku, takpe buat untuk event anda nanti ;)

sebab aku dah ada voucher rm700 dari diorang. merasa jugaklah bergambar dengan shutterspk.kalau tak semua event pun kan.. ;) hohoho!

siapa, si dia...?? nantilah aku share. bila dah bayar 30% deposit. baru konfident sikit.
*MF,esoklah letak deposit, boleh?gelojoh!*

i need to think of outdoor location from now....

esok, kalau sempat. i will share with u guys my personal preference of photographers ;)

Guideline: Right photographer!

This is call try your best, and try your luck!. who knows, i might be the lucky one. =)

i am left with roughly 10days from the closing date... hurm... sangatlah suntuk bukan?

anyhow, lets just back to the topic. i guess several times i mentioned to you that i need to find someone who can capture the right moments, can capture candid, right colors..yada.yada..well, i found him!!! *big grin*

why him?

lets get back to the track, why personally you choose a photographer...

always keep in mind there are 4 approaches to wedding photography: TRADITIONAL, CREATIVE, ILLUSTRATIVE, and PHOTOJOURNALISM.

traditional: basically macam group portraits of the family,bridal groom,candids, the event itself. from the moment you see the photo, u already knew it. this is wedding photo!
creative: mind ya, it is not easy to be creative. one must have guts to see things differently, and convey it differently...contoh macam, make use of angles.. nak terbaring, tergolek, lantak! janji gambar cun... hehehe.
illustrative: mampu membuatkan gambar tu nampak so realllll.... ada WOW factor tersendiri. penuh dramatis.. kalau tengok boleh meleleh lah air mata...every details captured correctly, u can even feel the moments walaupun hanya tengok pada album..

photojournalism: non-posed photo. gambar semua ditangkap without awareness of subject.in this case, ofcourse bride and groom...

my fave among all!

this is somehow a guidance for me to choose my photographer...and i finally found him..he come with complete package with above mentioned criteteria.*big grin*

he is none other, but SHUTTERSPEAK

Click on the link and contact them nooowwwwww! you wont regret a single penny of it! yap!

so, why wait??? BE WISE , choose correctly!

to Suhaimi Ismail and Zaidan Zainuddin, how much i wish u can be my photographer of the day....hehehe~

p/s:i hope what guide me..can guide u as well...take care readers!~

potential photographer 1

we went to meet our potential photographer yesterday at TTDI.

the price was not so good, seriously 1500 beyond our budget. to hire or not to hire. i love his style. he is good at capturing moments. not everybody punya skill macam ni...i even highlight that, i dont want his partner to replace him, it must always be him. :P

gile saiko kan. aku memang camni. i can tolerate on almost everything about my wedding. but not wedding photo.. so this part is crucial to me. i will analyze every single photo..ok cantek.cantek. ok buruk.buruk. that is me..kalau bagi pasal mekap, aku memang surrender tak tau. tapi mane yang nampak cantik and natural di mata aku. tu yang aku pilih. bagi pelamin decorator, akak, saya nak bunga kembang semangkuk. akak bole buat x? *let us see the result masa wedding aku nanti*
Baju pun sama.. memang aku kisah yang tak kisah sangat kot. sebab aku tak berapa tau...jarum jenis apa ko nak pakai jahit baju aku...pakai la... asal siap...

tapi photog lain. kamera apa ko guna? *fullframe tak.oh tak.tak pe*. lens ko cukup tak.. ada ye semua..macro,wide, telephoto,prime and etc? *ade..bagus!* ..and consistent tak performance dia as photog.

bila kami sampai, sample album dia xready lagi. so i cannot judge much. sebab monitor color lain sikit dari printing color. he promised to give me a call when the album is ready. sabar jelah..kena datang lagi. but next time we will bring Ayah along. tengok apa kata Ayah..

if we still want to proceed... lets just recalculate everything. re-budget on every single thing...meantime, before akhir june ni, we need to have our own decision. and cari photog yang setanding but murah sikit.... huuuuu~

kalau korg tau sapa lagi yang good in capturing moments and candid (selain nama-nama besar yg dah femes tu)..let me know ok?


ok,bye. nak bersiap g kursus kahwin. hehe =)

Wedding Umi Khalsum

Boleh tengok sini,

Wedding highlight

sangat-sangat cantik.with all the details..perfecto!


selingan..

hari ni call satu famous photog ni,

tanya berapa price 1 sesi, 2 sesi...3 sesi...*dalam hati..mahalnyeee*

"berape hour ye coverage u?" tanya lagi, nak tau.kate customer kan...

"macam nilah, u isi enquiry form dalam website i, nnt staff i reply ok"

hek eleh... alang-alang ko dah angkat phone tu jawab jela pacik... bukan patah pun gigi jawab soklan aku kan...lain kali letak no phone staff kat hotline kay, ko xpenat jawab soklan aku..aku pun xdela buang duit call ko...

habes..

agaknye die dengar suara aku bergetar-getar bila dengar harga, so dia xrasa aku potential customer...

Photographer

despite numerous feedbacks from bloggers regarding PP @ PWTC the other day, i as well have my own comments on that.to be true, that was my first time went to PP. for me the floor plan tersangat-sangat sempit. i went to dslr exhibition at mid valley before, we have ample space to move here and there.siap boleh posing-posing tangkap gambar. tapi PP haritu, i was so frustrated sebab nak jalan pon berlanggar with each other. even pasar malam pun not as bad as that. MF said, eh sempitnya... i simply replied,memang macam ni kot. because i have nothing else to compare with.
when i read through Ann's blog , only then i realize memang betul-betul teruk floor plan kali ni.huu~

even with a few disatisfactions with some vendors, i managed to find some attractive product there. g.i photoshoot. if u have experience working with them, kindly share~. among all of the photogs there, this one attract me the most. not due to the price. but more to the quality and skills they have in taking photo.since i'm also doing photography as hobby, consider i'm in the same field with them, and have some knowledge in valuing the quality.but of course the chosen album only will be shown to the public. still need to do some small investigation on this photog.i do participate in wedding photography last time, but it just stopped. ;)

some tips that you can apply, look at the sharpness, colors,bokeh, and motive of the photo. because i believe, a photo must have a special motive behind it, only then it can convey correct message to the viewers.kalau boleh, try to look for someone around you yang biasa tangkap gambar. they usually know what is wrong with the photo and boleh bagi opinion to take or not to take the photog. of course theres nothing perfect, but as much as possible we want to minima imperfection dan biarlah berbaloikan.

for me, too much editing will spoil the photo itself. dah tak nampak hidup and natural.but that's totally depends on you.suka yang bagaimana~

ohh, im nothing, but to share my opinion in photography.plus, im learning as well. heehee~.

happy hunting photographer~!

p/s: dan saya benar-benar jatuh hati dengan jahitan baju Omar Ali.hehehe~ kemas dan terletak!!
