Signature Photographers introduces and welcomes yet another industry stalwart as it’s newest member. A visionary that shares many common ideas and passion, Saiful Nang is a household name when it comes to wedding photography.
A qualified visual communication specialist, Saiful possesses a degree in Film studies. However, his passion in Wedding Photography has led to down a different path. A firm believer that all success stories are driven primarily by passion, Saiful attributes the same to his mastering the art of capturing moments for weddings. And he firmly believes that it is this same passion that has seen him being appointed as the Official wedding Photographer for the Brunei Darussalam Royal Family, as well as numerous local celebrities’ weddings. Now an International name to wedding photography, Saiful also developed and annually conducts the groundbreaking and widely successful photography workshop, PhotoCamp.
We at JLP extends our big welcome to you Saiful and looking forward to working with you.
"...and so I'm sailing through the sea, to an island where we'll meet; You'll hear the music fill the air, I'll put a flower in your hair ... I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend, lucky to have been where I have been... lucky we're in love in every way, lucky to have stayed where we've stayed..." ~ lyrics adapted from "Lucky" - Jason Mraz
Love knows no boundaries or time zone, that's how it feels having read the love story between this lovely couple. Met since A-Level, both E-Lei & Choon Sern have been together ever since. Even though they were times they were apart i.e. different nationality, furthering studies overseas, national services etc., E-Lei, a Malaysian and Choon Sern, a Singaporean; decided to settle down in London. They even work under the same roof. Amazing!
The couple has set their mind on having a beach wedding and particularly Redang as they fell in love with the place during a visit 9 years ago. Moreover, one of the most unforgettable experiences they have had was having a BBQ under the stars by the beach.
And so they decided on Berjaya Redang Beach Resorts since it is very convenient for their overseas guests to fly in and out.
Well E-Lei & Choon Sern, despite the challenge to decorate the place due to inacessibility and logistics issue, the simple yet elegant decorations really set in the mood. Not forgetting the lovely landscape, crystal clear water, white sandy beach, coconut drinks & the twinkling stars - very magical & enchanting!
The images are magically fantastic that we've decided to present it in the form of a montage. Thank you for having us over and captured all these beautiful moments.
"We found JLP from the website. The artworks immediately caught our attention and are different from the rest of the photographers we've come across. After the initial meeting with Jim & Ning, it was quite clear to us that we want to have both of them as our wedding photographer. Also, they provide good advice and tips for beach wedding. Jim & Ning, both of you are very professional. We like your warm and friendly personality. During the group photo shoots, you've created a lively atmosphere and our guests loved you both. We really enjoyed ourself and had a great experience. Thank you."
If you have not already heard, Signature Photographers has an additional new member i.e. Alvin Leong.
Alvin has been in the wedding photography industry for more than 8 years and is a member of Australian Institute of Professional Photography (AIPP), Master Photographer Association, United Kingdom (MPA, UK) and World Institute of Photographic Masters (WIPM).
It was a last minute arrangement, we decided to surprise Jim a day after his birthday. Even Ning didn't know about it till the next day (but she is smart enough to dress up nicely :p). Since we know Jim loves his coffee very much, the only cake that fit the bill is Tiramisu and that I know Alexis has the best!
It was a long and exciting day but nevertheless everything went well according to the plan without Jim's suspicion although he had that quizzical look why all the team photographers were in the studio. The moment he ushered out the last client, he turned to our direction and started some casual chat while our creative designers brought out the cake. When they were right behind him, he still didn't suspect anything. Then, as we started singing, he turned around and saw the cake. This is how surprised he looked.
For a split second, Jim was speechless but kept smiling.
The cake is so nice that some of us had second helping. And because it contains alcohol, the team photographers later became jolly, perky & very loud ... I kid, I kiidddd!! :p
Well Jim, happy birthday again & many happy returns!!
In one weekend, JLP is invited to conduct two workshops. One of it was organised by Nikonian Academy at Dynasty Hotel for two days i.e. 23 & 24 May 2009. Enthusiastic participants who attended this workshop are not only from Klang Valley, but all the way from Penang & Johor.
In this workshop, the team from JLP shared the "trade-secrets" of the industry to eager participants and conduct some practical session where the best photo taken will be judged by Jim himself and the winner would walk away with RM500.00 worth of prizes.
It is indeed a rare opportunity to see all seven signature photographers in the same room conducting a workshop one fine Sunday; sharing tips, advices and information to wed-to-be couples on how to achieve a stunning and beautiful wedding images.
Dressed in black attires ala Men In Black except for Jim who claimed that he was wearing black (but in stripes of course) together with special invited guest; Lee Kuen from Bridal Glam; they've shared very useful, informative and practical advices from planning to budgeting, skin tone to make-up and the most important element - communications (emphasize added) between Couples and designated photographers!
Hosted by Prince Hotel & Residences, couples who attended the Workshop had a chance to sample banquet foods i.e. Chinese, Malay & International. I must say the food is excellent until we have forgotten to snap pictures of it.
Organised the second time since last year, couples who participated at the Workshop brought home some goody bags. Some won exciting lucky draw prizes which are sponsored by various wedding vendors.
For the Grand Prize 2009, Elizabeth Foong and Erwin Goh walked away with Pre-wedding Portraiture Shoot sponsored by the Signature Photographers and Flaunt Weddings.
Congratulations Elizabeth & Erwin! Have fun shooting with all these fun-loving seven photographers and we are sure that your images will be stunningly beautiful!
