Raymond & Shirnita Wedding Day - October 20, 2007
Hello friends! I have been taking a number of christian weddings lately and these are the images taken on Oct 20, 2007, making these pictures as nostalgic as possible. The environment, the people, the lighting @ the church (Zion Church, Brickfields) and the wedding dinner ballroom (Royal Selangor Club, Kuala Lumpur) has been a different ball game altogether. I have to admit that it wasn't easy to take these pictures because of its different ambience compared to many other weddings I have taken this year.
Shirnita, the youngest daughter of Y Bhg Dato' R Yogeswaran (all national hockey players should know him) got married and being the official photographer, this has been a great burden for me as the lighting condition in the room of the bride, the church and the ballroom is very challenging. As you can see, making candid shoots is never easy. You really need the experience, the equipment and also the "eye" for these kind of shots.
I am so glad that the shots are came out good. To add more "ummph" in the images, I turn into a nostalgic feels (hope you know what it means) by creating the ambience, the focus on both couples especially at the wedding dinner. This takes a lot of hard work and I do hope all of you who reads my blog would agree that these images are taken at a higher level of photography : a combination of photojournalism with candid. FYI, I was a sports photographer for University of South Dakota (USA) for the university newspaper called The Volante. I shoots mostly on B & W using Ilford Films using the old Nikon F3 & F4 covering the NCAA (called N.. C... double A) Division for American football and indoor track & field from 1995-1996. This gave me the edge over others who came out doing wedding photography without having any experience as photojournalist overseas.
Ah! back to Raymond & Shirnita. It feels great to have these pictures taken with passion that last a lifetime memories for these couples and for myself as well. I love these pictures as much as those who enjoys it! Thanks & God bless!
