Pink & Ivan - Glamourous

It has always been my wish to be able to shoot some parasols on a wedding. And it so happened that my wish materialised in this garden wedding held few weeks ago in Sri Carcosa.

Our ever so glamorous and capable bride, Pink, and her charming groom, Ivan, planned their wedding so beautifully. Pink has heard about us and our works 5 - 6 years ago after attending a close friend's wedding and so they approached and engaged us nearly a year ago to photograph their wedding. Honored, we happily accepted the portfolio knowing that it will be a wedding which will be the talk of the town. Indeed, the occasion was full of surprises. It was a very romantic and colorful affair that I have ever photographed in Malaysia.

Ning, Braendan and myself started shooting during the morning preparation itself where Sharon and her styling team from Wedding Isle, skilfully making the bride and the girls beautiful. We were busy shooting the wedding gown and bits and pieces in the room.

The girls were so engrossed in helping the bride to dress up where they didn't even noticed my presence.

When they finally realised it and started to turn the bride away from my camera, I have snapped a few priceless shots.

Guests who attended the ceremony were full of personalities in their best and finest attires. Given the bride's name is PINK, you can easily guess the theme color of the wedding i.e. fuchsia pink and white with a touch of black. All decorations were artistically and tastefully set up by the creative team from Wishing Tree.

With the organisation, co-ordination and hard work from the bridesmaids and groomsmen, the wedding ceremony went smoothly under a clear blue sky. In such a romantic & enchanting setting and ambience, it is not surprising that the bride shed a few tears (it has to be tears of joy!). Guests who were there to witness would have shared the same sentiment. Or perhaps the ladies were sad realising that there gone another handsome single man marrying to their best friend. :p

Well Pink & Ivan, congratulations again on your recent marriage. Thank you for engaging us and your kind words. We had a real fun during the photography sessions.

"Dear Jim & team,

... thank you so much for doing such a great job at our wedding! Your work is remarkable! You've been nothing but wonderful in capturing every moment of such a beautiful day in our lives... When it comes to choosing our suppliers, we knew instantly that we wanted to use Wishing Tree and Jim simply only because of 1 reason: they are both one of the best in the field! ... for Jim, I had already fallen in love with his work 5-6 years ago when my friend Ee Peng got married. Thanks to her recommendation, I checked him out on pbase (before Jim had his own website) and immediately I told myself that this is the photographer I MUST HAVE for my wedding! ... I will always remember this day for a long time to come thanks to Wishing Tree, Jim Liaw ...

... Jim, everyone loves the umbrella shots! Brilliant! And the pre-wedding was said to be 'the best composition of any wedding photo' ... "
