Shangri-La’s Rasa Sayang Resort & Spa | Highlights Film | Greta & Mohit

One thing I really like about this wedding is that everything wasn’t rushed like a typical chinese wedding. Its a lot more relaxing. The morning preparation began at 10am at the hotel salon. As I stepped it, I was greeted by the ladies. Everyone was having their makeup and hairdo done. It was a busy busy scene. As for the groom and guys, they were preparing in the hotel room, so I made my way there after getting enough shots of the ladies. Upon reaching the groom’s room, the environment was very different. The guys were chilling while the groom were getting his shoes and coat on.

I truly enjoy getting to know how two lives come together as one. Its so enlightening when they tell the guest about their love story in their speeches they make. The stories just makes you feel so happy for them. This wedding was a challenge for me as I was covering it alone with 2 cameras. It can be really stressful when I have to deal with the cameras, audio and running around. However, I am glad I did it.

Sophia + Victor – I want to belong to you (SDE)

I wanna post some frame grabs from the last wedding we shot but we have been so busy for the past 2 weeks. I hope to post it soon. Meanwhile, here’s a recent SDE we did yesterday.

We covered the preparation at 6.30am and it was a mad rush as the wedding ceremony starts at 9am. I am glad everything happened at the same location. This minimizes logistics and we don’t have to lug all our equipments from one place to the other.

A little bit about the couple. Victor and Sophia are both doctors in Ireland. They met when they were in medical school. Their relationship bloom from close friends to lovers. Victor is originally from Johor and Sophia is from Sarawak. Meeting them for the first time one week before the wedding, we had so much fun talking to them. I realized that Sophia can actually speak fluent “hokkien”. Its amazing how our Malaysian cultures are so diverse!

During the wedding ceremony, Victor and Sophia wrote their own vows. I won’t tell you here but you gotta hear it yourself in this SDE piece edited by Sharon.

Our new i7Dell mobile workstation is amazing. Its lightweight but powerful. Editing HD footages has never been this easy. I am glad we invested in it.

The Four Seasons Resort, Langkawi | Highlights Film | Hai Liang & Mong Ling

Hai Liang secretly planned the wedding right even before he proposed, that showed how confident he is to get Mong Ling to marry him. It was a beautiful sunny day for a beach wedding, albeit it was really hot. The Canon 7D got overheated a few times during the ceremony but it wasn’t too extreme.

We flew in to Langkawi a day before the wedding and rented a car to drive around. Gosh, Langkawi is such a big island! Took us like 30 mins from one location to another location. I am glad we got there a day earlier to recce the wedding ceremony location. We manage to film some moments during the wedding rehearsal as you can see in this wedding highlight.

One things that made this wedding more special was we got to do some sunset shots in a yacht. As they sail towards the pier where the restaurant was, all the guest were cheering on as they arrive. Now this is the most awesome couple entrance to the reception location I have ever shot!

They look stunning and perfect for each other. We are so blessed to be able to capture their wedding day.

Eastern & Oriental Hotel | Highlights Film | John & Hui Chin

Handsome groom, beautiful bride, fantastic wedding party, beautiful day, awesome decorations, touching speeches, wonderful guests, lovely childrens…ah…the wedding is such a bliss! Oooh…adding to the fun factor filming this wedding was the fact that our buddy photographer, Louis Pang was shooting this wedding as well.

One of the most vivid memory I had about this wedding is during the couple’s exchange of gifts during their preparation before the ceremony. Its such a rare opportunity for me to capture gift exchange between the couple because we don’t practice here in our country. Their expression was priceless. Look out for it in the highlights film.

Shangri-La’s Rasa Sayang Resort & Spa | Concept Film SDE | Euwing & Win Nee

Its been a while since we last shot a wedding in our own hometown, Penang. We were honoured when Euwing approach us last year to film his wedding. The wedding ceremony was held at Shangri-La’s Rasa Sayang Resort & Spa and dinner reception at G-Hotel. The wedding was stunning and so were the couple. They looked super gorgeous! They are such a lovely couple and one can easily tell that Euwing is heads over heel with Win Nee. We know that because we see them every week in church! Since their relationship is so special, I decided to tie in a concept shoot with their Same Day Edit (SDE). Days before the wedding, we took them out for the shoot. The script was based on what Euwing did for Win Nee when he left for Nepal mission trip for 10 days. You can read all about it at their wedding website! We entitled this film “Turtledoves”.

We did a websearch and found out what the title means in biblical concept by Gavin Finley

“The two turtledoves in holy scripture and in literature present a picture of devotion and covenant lovingkindness. It is a sublime vision of earthly love and friendship.”

Here’s some screengrabs from our HDSLR camera at the wedding!

Finally, here’s the Concept Film Same Day Edit! Do press play and pause immediately to load the complete film before watching!
