Happy Birthday Jim!

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!!

KL Tower Wedding Fair

JLP participated in KL Tower Wedding Fair on 22 March 2009 which was organised by Weddings Malaysia. This is the first time JLP participated as a team minus the master photographer himself as he was away for wedding shoot in Penang.

All five of us arrived around 9:30a.m. to set up our booth and later were given the tasks & roles of the day.

We were given to understand that there were about 50 couples who attended the Fair. Perhaps we were occupied attending to couples who enquired at our booth and didn't pay much attention to the crowds who walked in and out from the room. This, we can confirm as one of the wedding suppliers later came up to us and commented that we were so occupied that she can't even get our attention or say hi!

Well, we participated in the Fair with no expectation (I know I don't). However, we know that we enjoyed ourself mingling with other wedding suppliers, couples as well as having fun snapping away during the Fair. Also, we believe we have gained greater learning curves, experiences & exposures from the Fair and getting to know our team mates better.

After a long day, we treated ourself to a nice dinner at Dragon-i. Great job team! Looking forward to our next team work. :-)

Greetings from JLP

Since this blog was set up a couple of weeks ago, we at JLP were brainstorming how should we approach it. At first, we thought of going through the stereotype way i.e. how do we begin and moving on from there yada yada yada ...

While the Master Photographer himself has yet to complete his assignment (gotten him to write the history of JLP), knowing that he has an exciting schedule, I thought probably we gotta have exception to the general rule of thumb.

So here is our first post to fill up the blank and hopefully won't leave it idle, too. Do stay tune for our update, coming promotions and many more.
