Prewedding at Bali with Niki & Jaycee – Day2

ohdearphotography — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 02:58:56 +0000

Happy belated New Year everyone.
So I was busy with lots of shoots and hence unable to continue posting my Bali Shoot. Gah.. Well here goes!

What’s a Bali shoot without a Beach shoot right? So we went to the Padang-Padang beach which was proclaimed VERY beautiful by our driver. And it was!!
It was actually raining very hard while we were on the way, and we were all feeling quite down. Upon reaching, the rain actually dim down to a light drizzle, and actually STOP the moment we stepped onto the beach. Lucky or what!

So we ran around the beach, jumped around and basically tired ourselves out.

We then went to yet another beach with CAMELS!! Yes real live camels. I was so excitied yet apprehensive about them. I mean, they are HUGE! And they actually roar~ But they make good pictures, this was actually my fav fav part of the whole shoot.

Alright, Picture time!

Prewedding at Bali with Niki & Jaycee – Day1

ohdearphotography — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 12:09:25 +0000

This is going to be one long post, in fact Im staring at a blank white screen wondering where to start! Ok.. I met up with Niki and Jaycee during mid year to discuss about their prewedding and we ended up deciding on Bali. So after months of emails/liasing and researches, we decided on the locations and concepts.

So came Nov and we were all so excited to go Bali! It was my first visit there and I frankly, didn’t know what to expect. Some of the most memorable moments would be like -

- when I asked Niki what colour is her gown, her reply was “toenail colour”. I stunned for a while before glancing down. Ohh Turquoise. (because they were didn’t like the too-normal white gowns)
- when it was raining VERY heavily along the way to padang-padang beach and yet, the rain stopped the moment we reached and stepped onto the beach..
- when we were laughing at jokes and singing along in the car while on the way to the next shooting location
- when we first met the camels and when the smell hit us

Countless countless awesome memories and am I glad I met such a lovely and fun Couple. If I were to say so, I think we rocked the shoot at Bali, despite the gloomy rainy weather. Why, we hit almost 1000 pictures. and was it a hard time selecting the photos.

I would definitely go back to Bali, be it shoot or leisure. It’s too beautiful an island.
Here are some of my favorite images from Day1. (day2 and day3 to come consecutively)

Joel & Esther – You’re my Superhero.

ohdearphotography — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 02:18:04 +0000

I have here with me a SuperHero Themed Engagement shoot to share today. Its uber fun and 100% sweetness. Joel & Esther’s idea was a silly and cute superhero shoot around Town. So there was the story of how Joel hates taking the public transport (same here!) and how SuperHero-Est is there to rescues him! Haha..

So I made them hippy-Hop around town, ran around with swords and attracting much curious looks. Heh!!
For the second location, we went to this very very nolgastic sand-playground that must had been the Love of all the 80s-Kids like us.

This adorable couple knew each other since they were little kids. I say, that’s so so super duper sweet,
to grow up and grow old together..

Have a blissful marriage Super-J and Super-E!

Lilian & Jason – Scientists’ Love Formula

ohdearphotography — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 06:11:08 +0000

I shot Lilian & Jason a few months back, when the KTM track was still around..
Saddly, the tracks now has been demolised and (send back to malaysia?) the place now is just a flat piece of land. Sigh.. ={

Anyway, enjoy this series from Lilian & Jason, who are both super brainy scientists! Hence the mini-shoot in lab and lab-coats. =D!

David & Melissa’s – What are Words when it’s Love

ohdearphotography — Sun, 23 Oct 2011 05:56:30 +0000

It was my first time shooting at MBS area, yes I know.. sloow! In fact, it was my second time there only! Because normally I prefer shooting at greeny places or buildings that are older, and I thought MBS might be too flashy and new. Boy was I wrong. I love the result of these pictures, plus I think the HotPink gown really adds a pop to all these photos. What do you think?

And.. I must had repeated myself countless of times, but i always always try to tell a story when shooting preweddings and Engagement. The last location for this series was shot at the very place this lovely couple knew each other. Learning guitar.. so please enjoy this series.. What are Words when it’s Love.

ohdearphotography — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 04:59:46 +0000

Miko & Marco is a very sweet (and good looking couple!) so goes the title, and also, because the day we were shooting was unbelievably hot!
But at the end of the day, the evening sun was unbelievably warm and beautiful too. So please enjoy these beautiful pictures on this rainy day afternoon..

ohdearphotography — Tue, 04 Oct 2011 02:11:15 +0000

“Being a full-time mother is one of the highest salaried jobs in any field, since the payment is pure love. ♥”

At OhDear, we celebrate LOVE, LIFE & KISS. So in case you’re wondering, nope we don’t just shoot Engagements and Preweddings, we do Maternity Shoots too.

Jus & Alvin – Love is Fun and Goofy!

ohdearphotography — Thu, 29 Sep 2011 02:42:48 +0000

I had the pleasure of shooting Justie and Alvin’s part2 Prewedding. This fun and wacky Couple took part1 of their shoot in Taiwan, so they wanted something more fun, less serious and also with their doggie (you can hardly pack a puppy into a suitcase can you?)

^ I thought this picture is hilarious. Puppy was all like -__-’ ”Are we done yet?”

^ (This was actually just a Test-Shot.. Meaning I was testing the settings on my camera.. But i love the turn out.. slightly outta focus, but enough to see the elegant smile.. )

^ Blown Away. Literally.
