"Where are the wedding photos?"

I'd like to dedicate this post in appreciation & love to the one person who've won my heart and managed to convinced me to say "I Do" and also in response to messages I received on Facebook. A few have enquired, "Where are the wedding photos?" One post on my Facebook really 'tickled' me. Check out Joanna's post on my 'Wall' HERE. Joanna, Jenn's cool about me being 'single' you know coz.. she's 'Single' too.. hahahahaa

Oh ya.. Doris is one funny gal too. Read what she mentioned HERE
(Doris, I hope this post meets your 'special' request kay)

Linzhi, Come back & I'll change my status. For those of you who have been so looking forward for our wedding pics, check em out at Jennifer's Facebook kay (Please be advised that these are just very few of em). Still waiting for the album to be completed lah.

Anyway, below are some shots I took of my beloved wife. Love you Jenn. (I made her turn left, right, up & down to get these poses & trust me, she's one difficult model to work with! hahahahaaa....)

Prospect Models?

Hi all...

To follow-up with Uncle Agan's wedding, here are some faces I've captured during the dinner reception. Most of the faces here were those sitting at the same table with me. Since everyone was looking 'AWESOMELY GORGEOUS', I took the opportunity to shoot them in their 'BEST pose'. It all started with Kedung when she came to our table to nibble on our food. Got her to 'do her thing' and I went click! click! click!(I could have blinded the next table with my Flash I guess).. After that, Ing Hui came by, Tingang was called over too and almost everyone got to do their fair share of 'poses'. Here you go...PROSPECT MODELS to be... Happy viewing.

Agan & Anne's Wedding

One saturday after my KK trip, it was our church elder's turn to get married. Uncle Agan & Aunty Anne had their big day on the 21st June 2008. The wedding ceremony was held at SIB Krokop Evangelical Church, Miri (our church), and the reception was at Imperial Hotel (Our wedding reception also took place at the same ballroom last May).

The church & ballroom was decorated 'beautifully' and the atmosphere was 'GRAND'. What made their wedding beautiful to me was their theme. Though both Bride & Groom are Kelabits themselves, they got the guests to wear their own traditional costumes. At least wearing some beads will do. Every races were wearing something related to their culture.

Tis good to sit down and enjoy a wedding once a while but that didn't get me to 'totaly' sit down though... I managed to capture some details of their big day as well. Ian & Kenny had a swell time shooting this memorable event. (Kenny, if you're reading thiis, Thank you for the good work you did being my wedding photographer last may & Ian, you're one awesome Emcee! Thank you!). Glad to have you guys around. Cheers to you!

Okay, enough said.. here are some shots from the wedding. To Uncle Agan & Aunty Anne,
a HUGE CONGRATULATIONS from our family! May the Lord Bless you abundantly.

Florencius & Sheena's Wedding

Indeed an honor to be a part of another colorful wedding. Over the weekend, I was in Kota Kinabalu to attend Flo & Sheena's big day. One thing I love about the KK crowd is that, everyone is "happening giler!". People just can't sit comfortably in their chair when the music is on. Once the music plays or someone go sing, people will just leave their seats n crowd the dance floor.

I'm yet to post photos of the "happening" stuff at nite. For now, I'll let you guys watch this 6 mins photo montage I made right after the blessing ceremony at Sacred Heart Cathedral. It was viewed during the wedding reception at Le' Meridien Hotel, KK.

NOTE: If you happen to visit it on Youtube, please click "Watch in High Quality" for sharper images.
