Being a photographer to a friend is always challenging. On one hand, she's always saying, "Eh, it's ok, go rest" or "Eh, stop taking photos and enjoy the meal lah" and on the other end, making sure most of the moments are captured. But those who knows me know I do not like to disappoint. So, it isn't surprising that I forgo having a proper dinner just so my friend would be able to have those memories retained.
Ok, so I'm not a professional when it comes to photography. It's just a small and tiny part of my numerous hobbies. It takes 3 parts to have the moments captured the way it was supposed to be remembered. One, it takes a reasonably well functional camera to do the right job. Mind you, it's a balance. It doesn't mean by purchasing a RM20,000 camera, it would ensure your shots are perfect. Two, learning the functions that are available on the camera and the ability to change the settings to suit the conditions in the shortest amount of time possible. Otherwise, the moment would have gone. Just as life would eh? Finally and most importantly, in my opinion, is the natural flair in seeing what other novice camera owners wouldn't see. The split second moment as once you've missed it, it's gone.
As you could judge from the pictures below, I may not possess completely all of the above, but I hope what I have been able to do is enough for the couple.
The Bride
She sits waiting patiently
The Groom arrives
"When was your first kiss? How? With or without tongue?" - asked Mayin
I hope I never ever do that
The benefits of chum char :)
The Heng Tais
The Chi Muis
Her side
His side
A favourite shot of mine
Me, Wai Kian, Hui Lee and Khar Min
My congratulations to Hui Lee & Wai Kian
Seeing them through the day and how tired they were, I now prepare myself to do the same and more come year end. Who then would be my photographer?
