Li Lian & Niger: Just Wanna Have Fun

"...you're always in my heart, you're always on my mind;

And when it all becomes too much, you're never far behind;

And there's no one that comes close to you could ever take your place;

'Cause only you can love me this way ..."

Only You Can Love Me This Way, Keith Urban

A bubbly couple, Lilian and Niger walked into our Studio few days before their actual day wedding to discuss their final itinerary.  After the whole discussion, we were intrigued by the fact that this wedding is going to be FUN!

Thanks Lilian & Niger for having us to photograph your wedding.  Indeed we had fun especially the jumping into the pool shot.

Let's take a peep on the slideshow of what happened during the day. 

We spent a lot of time researching before finally deciding on our wedding photographers and we have nothing but high compliments for Jim & Ning who photographed our wedding and John who did our ROM.

Thank you for doing such an excellent job in capturing memorable moments at our Putrajaya ROM and KL wedding and especially in accommodating our many requests of having jumping into the pool shots!  What else can we say but a million thank yous and for going far and beyond expectations!  

We admire your professionalism and we were very comfortable working with all three of you.  In fact, we have heard nothing but compliments regarding your work and we are so happy we made the right choice by having JLP document our special day! :)

Christmas Special: Family Portrait

When was the last time you had your family portraits taken?

Whether your answer is 'never' or 'too long ago' or it could be 'a few years back' or 'a year ago' - the best time to have your family portraits taken is NOW!

Family portrait is not an once-in-a-lifetime event.  Families change!

The children at a young age are always changing and will never be the same as they are now; there may be a new addition in the family - be it new spouses or new born baby.


Even if there aren't any new additions, while life changes around us, it is always nice to have a new family portrait to chronicle our family through the years and may it be a permanent reminder of our family at a specific time in our lives. 

During this holiday seasons, families who are scattered around the globe will get together to celebrate winter solstice, thanksgiving, or simply a reunion - to share joy and laughter.  Gift your family a Family Portrait shoot with Jim and bring home those memoirs.

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' ... "

Eugene & Regina: Faith, Hope & LOVE

"... friendship that flows from the heart cannot be frozen by adversity,

as the water that flows from the spring cannot congeal in winter ..."
James Fenimore Cooper

There is one thing every bride will practically be concerned and anxious about on their wedding day i.e. the rain!! As if the preparation itself is not stressful enough, the weather is something beyond everyone's control.

It was showering heavily at early morning in Penang. By 8:00 a.m., it was still drizzling. The bride stood and looked out her window. She expressed her concern that she could not have her garden wedding. However, we assured her that the rain would eventually stop. So far, we are always been blessed with good weather even if it rained right before the actual wedding starts.

True enough, when the bride went down to get ready and right before the actual ceremony began, the drizzle stopped.

Eugene & Regina met through mutual friends. What turned out to be a simple meeting transformed into a wonderful union.

It was a simple yet beautiful wedding. The couple had put a lot of thoughts into their wedding where quotes (e.g. as per the title & beginning of this post) have been printed and labeled onto wedding favors as well as mineral water bottles.

To Eugene and Regina, congratulations again! Thank you for engaging us and your kind word. We really enjoyed ourself. :) The pictures are amazingly beautiful and here at JLP, we had a challenging time choosing images to be posted here and ended up ... well, as you can see the number of images we posted above :D

"We did a lot of research before choosing a photographer, and finally decided your style is the most visually appealing. On our wedding day, both you and Ning were terrific! It was so easy and comfortable working with you guys. We were never nervous with you at all. It was like we were hanging out with dear old friends, even though we only met you a few times! We have nothing but compliments for your professionalism, friendly and efficiency approach."
